WILLIAM d. MAHONEY
Latter Struck AssaiIant Because
He Had Insulted Little

the Third Precinct Police Court today
charged with the murder of William
ID. Mnhoney, of 81 Fillmore street,
whose 7-year-oId daughter he Is al
legged to have insuIted,. It developed
that sheriff william Harrixnn with nm
empty gun in his hand had stood
guard over Lunetta and prevented his
escape.
Lunetta was held without bail.
According to an alleged confession OF
the crime made to Captain Christie, OF
the Third Precinct, Lunetta shot Ma
honey twice, one of the bullets taking
a course through the abdomen and
causing death within fifteen minutes
Mahoney went to the cobbler shop
operated by Lunetta. at 634 Market
street, yesterday to demonstrate with
him about insults and abuse which he
| had offered to his little girl Julia, aged
Z, when she went to his shop.
Mahoney took with him two friends,
Peter Brady and Michael Kane. After
turned and started to the door. Then,
the police say, Lunetta went into a
back room, got his revolver and fired
twice at Mahoney's back. The wounded
man walked about seventy-hve feet
and then turned to Brady and said
| Pete, I'm goner;" and fell uncon-
scious.

The sheriff with his daughter, Miss
Margaret Harrigan, were on their way
home from st. James's r. G. Church
and heard the shots that were fired by
! Lunetta. Sheriff Harrigan .saw Ma
honey PROSTATE on the sidewalk AMI
realizing that the man was in a dan
/ gerous condition went to patrol box
+ nearby and teephoned to the Third
! Precinct police station to send the re-
serves and patrol wagon without delay
! as he believed a murder had been com
mitted.
/ The sheriff sent a messenger to his
! home, not far away, for a revolver and
! when he got ii went to the house where
Lunetta had hid in the cellar.
/ The sheriff examined his gun and
| found that the messenger had brought
an unloaded weapon, instead of one
that he always keeps loaded
He decided, however, to take nc
chances at letting Lunetta get away
| and stood ground at the cellar door OF
/ the house where the man hid himself
until the police arrived.
The sheriff showed the police where

I was securely handcuffed and taken

been removed to st. Jamess Hospital

along before the patrol wagon arrived

James r. McDermit and Rudolph A.
Braun, counsel for the accused, will set
UP the defense that he did not go into
the back room and get the revolver,
+ but reached into drawer for 1t while
! Mahoney was striking him and shot in
self defense. The police expect to dis
prove this by the fact that Mahoney
was shot in the back and by the testi-
mony OF Kane, who saw the whole
thing through the door of the shop

(From The Reformer.)

The Mercer Republican says We
believe the ounty court did right
In paying for the tax tickets. aud
even n It did not there was a good
excuse and IL was part OF wisdom
to make this allowance for these
tickets at the tine the precedent
was set The Republican admits
for II cannot deny it, that the law
requires the sheriff to pay for this
work himself. Then why did the
county court do right when IL vio-
lated this law and made the tax
payers OF Mercer county pay for this
work? And what was the Good
excuse" pray for violat ng the law
that the Republican refers to, and
where was IL "a part of wisdom"
60 make this illegal allowance? Now
the Mercer Republican puts itself in
u pretty attitude before the honest
people of this county In the drst
place IL says the court did right IN
V-olat ng the law, then 1t says the
court had a good excuse for VIC
rating the law. but doesn't attempt
to give the excuse. and next il says
that there was wisdom IN this VIC
lation OF law, but doesn't point aut
the wisdom. The political condi-
ton of any civilized community is
getting desperate when public Of
ficials not only VIGOROUSLY violate
the law, but journalism prostitutes
itself TO an open and public defense
OF such officials and their Illegal
conduct. Can any honest, law-abid-
ing, respectable man regard with
any other feeling save supreme con-
tempt, a newspaper so blinded with
prejudice and partisanship and so
utterly devoid of any honorable sen
timents or honest motives as 40 de-
fend in its columns men who have
not only violated the law but their
solemn oaths to be respected among
honest people, or except TO have any
influence with law abiding people?
When a man or a newspaper goes
tn far in the defense of corrupt
public officials public opinion ought
to damn such man or newspaper.
for it shows an absolute lach of
principle, and constitutes a corrupt
and baneful influence In any com
munity The usual rule for dirty
corrupt public officials and their
dirty. corrupt. subservient tools and
newspapers is to cover and white
wash their cussedness. Brazen in
deed must they be when they come
out openly and acknowledge It, ad
NIT It, and defend 1t. Yet that is
what the Mercer Republican and its
county court have done. When they
are driven to the wall and can't de-
ny, they adm and defend. And do
the poor deluded fools think the
honest people of this county are 90
ing to stand for such as this? Do
they think the people are 30 devoid

MERCER REPUBLICAN
DEFENDS VIOLATIONS Of
LAW BY COUNTY COURT

OF common honesty, aud so utterly
oblivious TO the public welfare. aud
so insensible to the demands OF
plan. homespun. oecency. as to re-
elect men guilty Of such conduct.
or to accept the standard OF morals
anu public virtue preached by the
Mercer Republican?
This attitude OF the Republican
may be explained by. the fact that
Bill Hedrick. its editor. got his
hand into the public pocket in this
illegal allowance OF the peoples
money. IL any one viii trouble HIM
self to look In order Book No. 5,
page lie he VIII find that Bill got
SI4.3O for pr ming these tickets
That may be why it was right TO
violate the law, or It may be the
good excuse or 1t might possibly
be the wisdom that Bill sees in
these illegal actions OF the county
court. When you nd a man guilty
himself he usually defends those
who helped him do 4. This is not
all the money that Bill has received
for doing things for the county
court that IL had no legal right To
have done This same Bill got
SS3.45 about the same time for
printing the financial statement that
he got up himself as campaign
document just week or SO BEFORE
the elect on in 1904. But Bill
didn't care and don't care, and the
county court don't care. for the
money came out of the peoples
pockets. and the illegality of II is
very small thing, a little thing,
that finally under the touch OF
Bits editorial pen resolves itself IN
to a righteous act, or at most an
act for which there s a good eX-
cuse" or one displaying wisdom. =
The Republican further says that
these claims were 20. X. by j. NJ.
Anderson, a reformer OF his day
Now that is not the truth, but you
won't be surprised at that by a
newspaper that defends lawlessness
etc. Every one OF these five illegal
allowances by the county court were
made during the tine that j. f.
Maynard and A NJ Sutton were
tho peoples legal representatives.
The first was made 10 w. p. Haw-
ley. the candidate for the legis'a-
ture. on the 14th day Of December.

OF them be ng allowed while A. NJ.
Sutton, your "able prosecutor" was
attorney to guard the county against
illegal claims The above claim was
so the only one allowed while w.
II. Kegley was on the bench We
don't know how he voted, but that
makes no difference. We feel sure
however If Mr.. Sutton had inform
e him, as Z was his duty to do.
that the ella m was illegal he would
have voted against It, Don't beg
the question Let Davis Thorn and
A NJ. sutton justify their action in
he premises.
