ASSASSIN TRIES

Mysterious Attempt Made to
Kill James Thompson of the

OAKLAND, July 22.-Asleep with his
right nand over his heart. james
Thompson. head trainer of the extern
sive horse stables maintained at
Pleasanton by John c. Kirkpatrick
manager of the Palace and the Fair
mont hotels at San Francisco, owes his
life to the fact that a revolver bullet,
fred through the window of his room
at Pleasanton by an unknown assail-
ant at o'clock this morning. glanced
to the wall after smashing two fing-
ers Mystery surrounds the affair. as
Thompson said he has no enemies and
robbery was plainly not the motive.
Mrs Thompson, who was beside him,
had a narrow escape from death or Sc
rious injury, as the bullet in rebound
ing passed close to her face.
DEED CAREFULLY PLANNED
The screen on the outside of the win
dow had been cut away leaving large
circular opening. Thrusting his hand
through the space cut out the assailant
passed his hand under the window sash
which was slightly open and, reaching
the inside catch, released it and forced
the window higher.
Constable Locke, in investigating,
found the stump of a half smoked cigar
and several matches. These lay care
fully tucked to one side so as to escape
being brushed off by the mans cuff. 1t
seemed that the wouldbe murderer had
ceased smoking when the critical time
came and may have removed the
matches from his pocket in an absent
minded way when he observed that his
cigar had gone out. Then he deposited
both on the inside window ledge.
His operations failed to arouse the
couple sleeping in the bed 10 feet
from the window. They were awakened
only by the deafening crash of the re-
volver shot in the small room. Thomp-
son was stunned for moment by the
shock and pain in his hand. Then
rushing to the window he looked out,
but the wouldbe murderer had van
ished.
BULLET HITS MANS HAND
The bullet penetrated spread, COM
fort, blanket and sheet before reaching
Thompson's outstretched hand. Then
the Ieaden pellet smashed the lower
joints of the ring and little fingers.
! Glancing clear Of the covers with a vi
cious shrek the bullet grazed the face
of the sleeping woman and embedded
| itself in the plaster.
Il have no enemies here or anywhere
who would try to kill me-" said Thomp
son, and / have no way of accounting
! for this. Whoever fired that shot plain
| ~ tried to kill me or my wife He
