Friends Heard the Shots.

Newton James and Frank Davis
we're Just coming out of the Princeton
club when the shooting took place.
They saw Mr. Phillips coming up the
street from the direction Of Fourth
avenue, but noticed no one near him
at the time. As they looked away for q
moment they heard shots and, turn
ing, saw Mr. Phillips stagger.
As they ran up to him Goldsborough,
who had just shot him, fell dead on
the street from a selfinficted wound
in the head. With Jacob Jacoby, pas
serby, they ran to Mr.. Phillips and
held him up. The author was appar-
emily in great agony.
For heavens sake get me into a
building and get DOCTOR he said.
James asked him who the man was
who had shot him.
Il don't know" the wounded man
gasped out.
Davis and James carried him into
the clubhouse, and later he was taken
to Bellevue hospital.
DR.. Wilson found that six steel 81
callber bullets from Colt automatic
pistol had entered Mr.. Phillips body.
All OF those bullets except one had
come out of the body. making eleven
perforations altogether.
The most dangerous wound was in
the right side OF the chest. This bull.
let had punctured the lung, and the
doctors expressly fear this wound, as
1t may lead to pneumonia
There was a superficial wound OF the
abdomen below this wound and two
more flesh wounds in the right hip.
Another bullet had torn the flesh OF
the left forearm. and another, the only
one remaining In the body. is lodged
In the right thigh. The physicians said
that as the wounds were cleaned
promptly and as the bullets were OF
steel they hoped that blood poisoning
would not set in.

Wheeling, w. Va, Jan. 24.-An I'M.
usual turn came in the trial Of Mrs.
Laura Farnsworth Schenk, accused OF
the poisoning OF her husband, John o.
Schenk. when Prosecutor Handlan
moved that the court exclude from the
court records the evidence introduced
by the defense tending TO show that
there had been a family conspiracy to
rid the Schenk family OF the defend
ant
The motion was upheld by Judge
Jordan, and the testimony OF Mrs.
Jane Hedges and Dr. +. b. Morrison
was stricken from the records.
Mrs. Hedges testified for the defense
that Albert Schenk, brother OF the
poisoned man. had told her that he
would leave no stone unturned to rid
the family Of his sister.in-law because
Of her reputation before marriage. and
that he tAlberD wished she would
break her neck every time she wen:
ont in her automobile.
The testimony Of DR.. Morrison was
to the effect that Or. J. w. Myers, the
state witness, Who said he sold Mrs.
Schenk poison, was regularly employ
ed at the hospital Of Or. T. NJ. Has.
kins. a brother.in-law OF John and Al.
bert Schenk. The defense has intimat-
oil several times that Or. Iaskins was
a party to the conspiracy they alleged.
and It was to show his connections
with Dr. Myers that they introduced

tally wounded in front Of the home OF
Schuyler Schiefilin, ll5 Grammercy

borough shot himself In the right tenn
pie and dropped dead.
Don't Know Man Who Shot Him.
What caused Goldsbcrough, who
was waiting near the entrance to the
Princeton club for Mr.. Phillips, to fire
the shots is not known. When the
wounded man was carried into the
club he was still conscious, and when
asked whether he knew the man who
shot him, Phillips answered that he
didn't. Later II was learned from Har-
rlson W. Phillips, a brother OF David
Graham Phillips, that for some time
the wounded man has been receiving
letters, notes, kilograms and telephone
calls of a threatening and abusive ma
ture, not only at his home. but at the
Princeton club Harrison Phillips said
that no name was attached to these
communications, but that in view OF
the shooting he supposed Goldsbor-
ough had sent them.
Persons acquainted with Goldsbor-
ough say he appeared to be mentally
weak and that he had a grudge
against a certain writer" adding a
vague story about being harmed by
this writer in a magazine article some
time ago.
