duct of the office.
President Roosevelt's vindication
is contained In a letter to Secretary
Root.
"It is clear" says the president.
that Judge Wilfiey has been at
tackled mot because he has done evil.
but because he had done good. The
assault on him was simply an i'm
peachment of decency and zeal for
the common good. If the attack
were to succeed the benefciaries
would be every keeper of a house of
prostitution, every swindling law

say that this assault on Judge Will

Chattanooga, Tenn, Mar. "a
remarkable story has just come to
light here of an opinion of the su-

The opinion was written by the
chief Justice of the supreme court

that his opinion was thoroughly

Justice Nicholson was the man
who wrote the opinion, and Peter

Nicholson had no recollection of the
incident. The elaborate opinion COW

with an affirmation Of the court be-

The anarchist entered the chiefs
home while the chief and his son
were alone in one of the rooms.
The man is said to have handed
Chief Shippy letter, which the
chief opened and began to read.
Almost Immediately the anarchist
drew his revolver and fired at Har-
ry Shippy. The boy fell to the floor
and the father grappled with the as
sassin.
Foley was attracted by the shoot
ing and rushed to his employers aid.
The anarchist then broke from the
chiefs grasp and shot Foley twice.
Again the chief closed with the
man and received deep cut in the
hand from knife which the anar-
.chist drew.
Shippy then succeeding in reach
ing his own revolver, and he poured
shot after shot into the would-be as
sassin's body. Every bullet took eff
feet and the anarchist fell to the
floor dead.
The attack on Chief Shippy is be-
lieved to have been inspired by the
recent activity of the Chicago police
in following up the killing of Father
Heinrichs by an anarchist in Denver.
Immediately following that trag-
edy attempts to trace the crime to
a conspiracy hatched in Chicago were
begun. The local police discovered
that a society of Italians had been
issuing inflammatory literature that
was aimed at clericals and also that
several local clergymen had re-
ceived threatening letters.

Sleet that covered wires and poles
rs to so miles north, west and south
