and others. AS he was led out OF he
traffic police station to the ambulance
that took him to police headquarters,
tie crowd lunged toward him, menac-
ing AID loud voiced, bat he police
dove them back.
The automobile which the mayors
party was entering was to take them
TO lunch. In 80 seconds the car would
have arted. Wnen the party ap-
preached the car Mahoney, wno had
been attending a noon meeting Of tne
unemployed and the Industrial Work
ers OF the World nearby, saw that
Mayor Mitchell was within a few feet
Of him. AS the mayor took his seat
Alaholey drew a revolver from his
pocket and shol.
According to his own story Mahoney
had tried to see the mayor last Mon
DAY, but had been unable 10 obtain an
interview. His idea, he said, was to
criticize Mayor Mitchell for the "eX
travagant expenditures of his ad-
ministration and incidentally to ask
for a job.
Angered by RepulSe.
His repulse embittered him and
whed he came back Wednesday it
was within the intention Of killing the
mayor. He thought better of his pur-
pose on this occasion, however, and
deferred the attempt. Today ne de-
termined to act.
Two letters taken from Mahoney' S
pockets, one addressed to Mayor
Mitchell and the other 10 Mayor
Armstrong OF Pittsburgh, Pa, for the
most part were unintelligible, but it
was evident that the writer was try
ing to voice a protest against the po-
lice bills recently urged by Mayor
Mitchell at Albany and other munich
pal activities.
In these letters Mahoney appeared
to be agitated by the attempt to get
George W. Goethals to take the po-
lico commissionership.
'He knows less about police work
as much as a boy Of II or 49," was
one of the Disappointed statements ia
the letters referring to Col. Goethals.
and continuing: "Also knows lots Of
engineering as y or II years old
boy
The letter then launched into
general attack on Col. Goethals.

Dixon and Captain J. f. Carlson of the
artillery and Seamen Becker, Wicks,
Collins, Ridgeway and Simpkins of the
navy volunteered to destroy her. Their
little boat sneaked along the beach at
night and lay hidden all day near their
victim. AT 8 o'clock in the evening the
lookout on the Housatonic saw a speck
on the water moving toward the ship.
approaching nearer the speclk
looked like a plank moving swiftly
over the water. He sounded the cry,
and all hands rushed on deck. The ship
sank instantly up to her tops. Five
men went below In her. The plank
disappeared, and the mystery was not
solved until after the war, when divers
cleared the channel of wrecks. They
found the Housatonic with a hole at

but had no provision for storing air,
and on an experimental trip s~uffocated
a crew of eight men. Lieutenant
Payne of the navy found a crew of
eight men willing to risk their lives
In a second trial. One night while pre-
pairing for a dive the wave of a pass
ing ship washed over the little boat,
and she carried to the bottom the
whole crew, Payne alone escaping.
Payne raised the boat, cleared her
of the victims and promptly secured
another crew of eight for a third trial.
She again went to the bottom in the
same manner as before, Payne and
two men escaping. The craft had
earned a fatal reputation in Charleston
harbor and was taken into Stone river,
where she made several dives and
came up all right. Finally, however,
she stuck in the mud at the bottom of
the river, and all on board persisted.
