Tales of Crime in Cities
CAUSED BY SEATTLE CRUSADE
Victim, Before Dying, Declares He
Never Saw ASSaiIant Un-
til He Was Shot
Associated Pressl

~ EATTLE, May 12.-Joseph Bonner,
manager of q downtown saloon,
~ was shot and fatally wonded early
today by Wallace A. Bussell. aged %,
son of c. b. Bussell, millionaire land
owner of this city. Bonner died at
the hospital after declaring that ne
had never seen Bussell before he en-
tered the saloon and opened fire with
a rifle
After shooting Bonner. Bussen en-
countered a police officer as he lert
the place, and was slightly wounded
before he was captured
Bussell fired five shots at Bonner
four of which took effect.
Bonner emptied his revolver at his
assailant but failed to hit him.
The elder Bussell is one of the richest
men in Seattle, and Wallace is his on
ly child. The father said today that
he had been dreading violent act
by the young man, and had been plan
ming to send him to central oregon
in two weeks, where he hoped rough,
outdoor life would improve his men
tai condition.
Mr.. Bussell continued:
For some time my sons mind has
dwelt on the vice and crime TO De
found in cities, and he has read every
scrap of information furnished by the
magazines. He has recently assoc1at-
ed himself with secret society whose
purpose is to rid Seattle OF vice. he
has given hundreds of dollars to this
society, and promised thousands more.
He has been very bitter toward the
present city administration.
"I have no doubt that 1t was this
mania against vice that sent him down
to that place last night, and into all
this trouble. He took 1t upon himself
to raid gambling resort, single hand
ed and was beside himself when he
started shooting.
''Wallace came home last night and
his mother heard him go down stairs
at o'clock She did not hear him
leave the house, and supposed that he
had returned to bed. 1t was at that
time that he took my rifle and car
fridge belt and set out on his mis-
sion."
have been directed to the Monte Carlo
saloon by raid on the place last
week, when a number Of men found
gambling were arrested.
A bitter fight against the policy OF
Mayor H. C. Gill in establishing a
district in which gambling and other
vices are tolerated has been waged for
the last month. and the Clean city
association" has been organized,
backed by men of means and with able
attorneys, to clean the city. The names
of the politicians who own or lease
property used for unlawful purposes
have been obtained and steps to pros
ecute them under the state law have
been begun.
Persons interested in the Clean City
association say they know nothing of a
secret anti-vice society. The associa-
ton is a public organization and is
about to be Incorporated

HAR RTNAGEL HELD
PRISONER IN JAIL
SurrenderS When He Hears of
Warrant Charging Him
with Felony ,

Former Patrolman Jacob Hartnagel,
whose resignation was rushed through
the police commission Monday night,
after his concession to Chief of Police
Galloway that he had been guilty of
contiscating opium obtained in raids in
Chinatown, surrendered himself last
night when he heard a warrant charg-
ing him with felony embezzlement had
been issued.
In view of the fact that no bail was
mentioned, Hartnagel was searched
and locked up. His face was pallid
and his hands trembled as he was being
searched.
Chief of Police Galloway yesterday
decided that Hartnagel should be ar
rested. Sergeant Sebastian, head of
the Chinatown squad, was instructed
to file a complaint against Hartnagel.
The complaint was given to Patrolman
Willetts to serve, but as soon as Hart
nagel heard of it he walked to central
police headquarters, and with brave
attempt at gameness said, "Oh, l guess
I'm the man you want. l have saved
you the trouble of looking for me and
have arranged for bail. What is the
amount?"
Hartnagel was informed that the
matter of bail had not been deter
mined, and despite of his protest that
he could raise any sum up to $500, he
was locked up.
The specific charge against Hartnagel
is the selling of four cans of opium
obtained in raid in Chinatown. He
begged for clemency before Chief Gal
loWay and Mayor Alexander last Fri
day, saying his wife was ill, and that
if his confession was made public it
would Increase his wife's danger.

~ ANITA ANA, May 12.-With arms
and head swathed in bandages COW
~ ering burns he received last Friday
while struggling with his wife, Mrs
Ethel r. Skelly, when she rushed from
her home at Westminster, a mass of
flames, Frank f. Skelly was arrested
this afternoon, pending investigation OF
the death of the woman. The arrest fol-
lowed sensational testimony given by
the dead woman's mother, Mrs. L. j.
Lewis of GAG Birch street, Santa Ana,
at the coroners inquest this morning
in which she said that her daughter,
while dying, told her that her nus
band, Frank Skelly, had thrown gaso-
line over her last Friday morning ana
then set fire to 1t. The dying woman Is
alleged to have said that her hus-
band committed the deed after threat
ening to kill her the night before. Mrs.
Lewis declared that her daughter told
her ali this a short time after she had
received her burns but had pledged
her to secrecy. The mother said she
had guarded her secret even from her
own husband up to the moment that
she took the witness stand at the in
quest, but that she could keep it no
longer. She repeated what she alleged
were the words of her dying daughter
charging Skelly with being directly
responsible for her death.
Mrs Lewis, however, was not the
first to bring the allegations of muir
der to the attention of the authorities.
She declared her daughter begged her
to keep 1t secret for the sake OF the
children But rumors circulating
among the neighbors brought about the
inquiry which resulted in the arrest
of Skelly.
Neighbors who testified this after
noon asserted that they saw Mrs.
Skelly rush out into the yard of her
home, with her clothing ablaze and
crying, "Why did you do it. Frank?
You have murdered me. Why didn't
you use a pistol instead of gasoline?'
Skelly, put on the witness stand be-
fore the coroner's jury, swore that he
heard his wife scream on Friday
morning as he was coming from his
BEDROOM and met her coming from the
pantry, all on fire. He siezed her and
tried to smother the flames with her
skirts, but failing, held her with one
hand and with the other tried to reach
water in a nearby pail to throw over
her She broke from him and ran
screaming into the yard where he fol-
lowed her, after going to the well and
failing to find bucket there. With a
quilt, thrown to him by someone, he
smothered the flames After helping
to carry ner III the mousse ana as ne
was standing by her bed, she said to
him:
Frank, why did you do it?"
He told her that he had not done 1t.
He believed she thought he was trying
to throw gasoline on her when he was
attempting to throw water from the
pail over her burning clothes.
The verdict of the coroner's jury
was that Mrs. Ethel SlSelly came to
her death by shock and thermic poi
soning, as a result of gasoline burns
sustained In a manner unknown to
the Jury, and we recommend that f.
+. Skelly be held pending further in
vestigation by the state"
