Testimony Shows That T. jenkins
Tried to Dissuade the Captain.


Tried to Dissuade the Captain.
New York, Aug. 3o.-A new light
was thrown on the Bayside tragedy
yesterday when it was shown by testi-
mony at the preliminary hearing that
thornton Hams told a moment after
the shooting that he had begged his
brother not 10 kill Annis. Both men,
however, were held without bail and
again committed to the Queens coun-
ty Jail in Long Island City to await
the action of the grand jury.
Charles Roberts, who is a member
of the Bayside Yacht club, testified
that after the shooting, when de-
mand was made on Thornton Hams
for his weapon, Capt. Hams advised
his brother to give up the weapon,
adding:
This is gentleman's club; let
them have your pistol"
The witness also said that when he
told Thornton Hams that he was as
guilty as his brother since he had pre-
vented any one from stopping the
shooting, Thornton Hams replied:
What could 1 do? He was my
brother. l have tried to persuade him
for some time from doing this. 1 am
just as sorry about it as anybody
here"
Capt. Peter c. Hams, to all appear.
ances, paid not the slightest attention
to the testimony.

Raging Wall Of Water Engulfs
Folsom, N. M.-Hundreds of
Houses Swept Away.
TwENTY.TnRtt LIVES ARE LOST
Desolation and Waste Now Marks
Scene Where Stood Thriving
Mining Town.

Trinidad, Colo, Aug. 80. - Twenty
three persons are known to be dead
and scores are missing as the result of
cloudburst which sent raging wall
of water eight feet deep over Folsom,
N. NJ, mining camp of $500 people
situated at the foot of Mount Capulin,
forty miles south of the Colorado.
New Mexico line.
1t is impossible to estimate accu-
rately the total loss of life, which
may reach thirty-five or forty before
morning. Already nineteen bodies
have been found buried under the silt.
The hotel, in which five travelling
men were stopping, was washed away
and they were drowned. The proprie-
tor, George Wenger, also is drowned
and his body has not been recovered.
Completely Blotted Out.
The town is completely blotted out
of existence. Hundreds of houses
were carried away, and where stood a
thriving mining camp now only re-
mains desolation and waste. Hun
dreds of citizens are out of homes,
food and clothes, and relief is being
rushed from New Mexico and South
ern Colorado. The railroad tracks are
washed out for three miles and trains
are only going within eight miles of
the stricken camp.
The cloudburst occurred at 10
o'clock last night and those citizens
who were awake on the streets es-
capped, while those who had retired
were mostly caught asleep without
warning.
Rushes Into Creek.
The water rushed into Cimmarron
creek and spread, sweeping a clean
path through the center of the town.
The Cimmarron creek, which carried
the flood is ordinarily a small trick
ling stream. Its capacity was INSULT
Gent to hold the rush of water.
There were many marvlous es.
capes and forty people were rescued
after the flood had passed the camp.
Last night bodies were being found
as far as fifteen miles away and loco
motive headlights, loaned by the Santa
Fe railroad, are being used in the
search.
The wires were down for ten hours
following the flood, and a Southern
Pacific train was marooned with 1875
passengers and no food. 1t was reach
ed late in the afternoon and brought
to Trinidad.
Ration, N. NJ, also suffered a severe
loss. Many homes were washed awav
and several hundreds MeXicans spent
the greater part of the night in a
church.

SHOOTING REVEALS SCANDAL
Atlantic City Police Have Husband d
Victims Companion Under
Suspicion.

Atlantic City, N. j.. Aug. 80. - The
question Of whether it was thief OF
an assassin who shot Charles B. Rob
erts on the board walk Wednesday
night, making the case in the first in
stance crime of the lower and sor
did order, or in the assumption of 8
mystery involving the highest social
life of Baltimore has not yet been an
swered.
Mrs. w. s. G. Williams, the hand
some leader of the hunting and dane
ing set in Baltimore, who was riding
in the roller chair with Mr.. Roberts
when it was halted and her compan
ion shot, says the attempt upon Mr.
Roberts life was made by q masked
man who demanded money.
Mr.. Roberts, from his cot in the city
hospital, has issued statement in
which he says masked highwayman
who demanded money shot him when
he sprang to attack the robber.,
Reject Robbery Theory.
John Jackson, the negro who wan
pushing the chair, has made contra
dictory statements. He was bewilder
ed by fright. He agrees that a masked
man stepped from the shadow of a
building and fired at least two shots
at either one or both of the occupants
of the chair.
The police absolutely refuse to &C
cept the theory that the shooting was
done by highwayman. They point to
the fact that there was no robbery and
seemingly no attempt on the part OF
the masked man to take advantage OF
the situation and at least escape with
Mrs. Williams purse.
Mrs. Williams had planned to leave
Atlantic City this afternoon and ioin
her husband in Baltimore. She re.
ceived word that if she attempted to
leave the city she would be arrested
and detained as a witness.
Husband Under Suspicion.
Mrs. Roberts arrived from New
York yesterday and has taken a room
at the hospital. Her husband is i'm.
proving and 1t is not believed his
wounds will result fatally.
The police will not accept the theo.
ry, strongly advanced, that the shoot.
ing of Mr.. Roberts was the work of a
holdup man. They have announced
that Mr.. Williams is under suspicion
and that he will not be eliminated
from the case until he has proved con.
clusively and to their satisfaction that
ne was not here Wednesday night and
that he was entirely ignorant of the
attempt upon MI. Roberts life and
the circumstances which led up to it.
The absolute disappearance of the
man who fired the shot is battling
part of the mystery. The theory is
that he escaped in a waiting automo.

Frightened Girls Call for Help Is An.
swered by Elevator Man Who
Saves Her Life.

Chicago, Sept. 1. "A frantic strug-
gle, with the life of a young girl at
stake, took place at the top of the
Auditorium tower Saturday afternoon
when ]. E. Shilling, fifty-two years
old, attempted to throw his twenty
one-year-old daughter from the top of
the lofty structure. Excited men, ap-
palled at the attempt, fought desper-
ately with the crazed man and finally
won the battle for the girls life,
Shilling had recently been released
from the Kankakee insane asylum,
and his condition since he left the in
stitution was such that his relatives
intended to return him to the place
in few days.
Maniac Seizes Girl.
Saturday morning he pleaded with
relatives to be allowed to go to Chi
cago. They consented, and with his
daughter he left the suburb where he
resides with her.
They walked about down town for
some time and finally found them
selves near the Auditorium.
LET us go up and see Chicago"
said Shilling. Il want to see the big
city again, for may not have an
other chance"
The girl consented and they took
the elevator, which shoots up to the
lofty observatory. Together they
walked around for time. Then the
father and the girl stood still, their
eyes fixed on the lake. Suddenly he
seized the daughter about the waist
and raised her above his head to hurl
her over the balustrade surrounding
the platform on which they were
standing. She grasped the railing
and screamed for help.
Cry Is Answered.,
Her cry was Immediately answered
by John Richardson, an elevator start
er employed in the observatory. The
insane man gave yell of rage and
sprang at Richardson, who did not
give up his grasp of the girl.
Richardson was obliged to fight like
a demon. The crazed mans fingers
sought his throat, and the startled
man almost choked before assistance
came. Detectives who had been sum-
moned overpowered the lunatic.
