The star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1908-1909, 1908-03-02

The man is said to have handed
Chief Shippy a letter, which the chief
opened, and began TO read. Almost im-
mediately the anarchist drew a re-
volver and fired at Harry Shippy. The
boy fell to the floor and his father
grapped with the assailant.
Foley attracted by the shooting,
rushed to his employers aid. As the
servant entered the room the anarchist
broke from the chiefs grasp, aimed de-
liberately and shot Foley twice.
Again the chief closed witIsthe man.
and the latter turned on him with a
knife. Shippy attempted to grasp the
weapon and received deep cut on the
hand. The official then succeeded in
reaching his own revolver and he fred
shot after shot into the would-be as
sassin's body. Every bullet took effect
and the anarchist fell to the floor dead
The attack on the chief is believed
to have been inspired by the recent ac-
tivity of the Chicago police following
the killing of the Rev. Leo Heinrichs,
a Roman Catholic priest, who was shot
by an anarchist in Denver while the
priest was administering the sacrament
to his slayer. Immediately following
the tragedy in Denver attempts to
trace the crime to a conspiracy hatched
in Chicago were begun.
The local police discovered that a So
ciety formed here had been issuing in
flammatory literature aimed at cler
cals, and also that several local eler-
gymen had received threatening letters.
Yesterday while the funeral of Father
Leo was being held In Paterson, n. j..
details of police guarded several of the
Roman Catholic churches here. Offi-
GERS in citizens clothes scrutinized
every worshiper as the congregations
entered Later the officers moved to
the affairs and stood guard over the
priests as they conducted the services.
In addition to these measures all
known anarchists in the city. among
them Emma Goldman, were warned that
they would not be allowed to make adj
dresses in public. So far as is known
none attempted to disobey this order
and no arrests were made of followers
of the cult.
Although all self-declared anarchists
In the city are known to the Chicago
police. the identity of the man who at
tackled Chief Shippy is a mystery Her
mann Scuettler. assistant chief of po-
lice, who has had charge of the crusade
against anarchy in the city, was unable
to identify the man. He describes him
as about "A years old, weighing l49
pounds and about five feet six inches
, tall. on the shoes and underwear was
the number 1880"
The man wore dark suit of clothes
and u new hat purchased from local
i firm. No articles or marks by which
the. man might have been identified
werc found upon his person.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, March a.
Anarchist leaders in Chicago are APP
parently attempting to extend their
influence in this city During the past
few weeks members of the Croatian
settlement in Kansas City Kan, have
received by mail copies of q Croatian
anarchistic paper published in Chicago.
The publication contains articles at
tscking the Catholic Church and all
forms of government
a circumstance that led the police
to believe that the attack upon Chief
Shippy was the result of an anarchistic
plot instead of personal grievances was
the fact that a man answering the de-
scription of the assailant called at the
Shippy residence yesterday morning
about the same time as the stranger
appeared today The chief was not at
homo.
The caller of yesterday was met by
Mrs Shippy and she was i'll the hall
when the anarchist entered today She
ran into another room when the strug-
gle began, after calling upon her son
to assist his father.
Foley had stopped the chiefs horse
and buggy in front of the residence,
and was going to take the chief down
town to the latter's Office. number Of
neighboring physicians were summoned
to the house Immediately after tho
shooting to attend Foley and the
chiefs son. Foley was at once sent to
hospital and Harry Shippy was also
taken there after his fathers reluc-
tance TO have him moved had been
overcome.
