DR.. SITES ATTACKED
James M. Rothweli in Fit Of insane
Rage Max Threats to Kill
Prominent Physician.
From The World Of wednesday:

From The World Of Wednesday:
James NJ RothweT, a weIl-known
young business man of this city, made
a most unprovoked and insane attack
on DIR. j. Mckee Sites yesterday even
ing about sevea O'Clock at the latter's
office, and which, but for the cool.
headedness of the doctor. night have
resulted in tragedy.
DR., Sites had been for some time the
attending physician of Mr.. c. p Roth
well, father OF James NJ. Rothwell,who
is critically IL. He says that when
he called to see the patient Monday
last, Mrs. Rothwell used such Ian
guage thas he refused 10 have any
thing further to do with the case and,
of course, he didn't go back again.
Yesterday evening the son called at
DR.. Sites office and asked him why he
had not been to see his father since
Monday, The doctor says he tcld the
young man that he could no consist
ENTITY go there when he had been or.
dered away by the sick mans wife.
This set the young man in fury
of rage and for a few minutes he act
ed Ike an insane man. Grabbing DR.,
Sites by the coat collar and assum-
ing threatening attitude he said he
would kill him, at the same time using
the yilest language possible.
Rothwells loud talk attracted the
attention of Mrs. Sites and her Gaugh-
ter, Miss Jane. He even threatened 10
strike Mrs. Sites when she appeared
in the room, enquiring of her what
business she had there. He cursed and
swore at the lad es, terrifying them
greatly with his rawlings.
Rockwell finally left the house, hurl.
ing an ugly epithet at the daughter
as he went out and threatening 10
thrash her father the first time he
meets him.
The police were notified in the mean
time by telephone, but when Officer
Hough got to the residence of DR..
Sites on West Burke street, Rothwell
had taken his angry departure. At
forwards he called at the Mayors Of
flee and left word that he would be
ready when wanted by the authorities.
A warrant was issued this morning
for his arrest, but up to noon today it
had not been served.
Owing to he prominence of DR..
Sites in this community as a physi-
clan and citizen, and the esteem in
which his family is held, the unwar-
ranted attack of Rothwell provoked
much Indignation throughout he city
today wherever the facts became
known.
