Some Mystery Surrounds Details of
ShaOting-WOman Under Ar
rest.
The State.

The State.
Florence, June 18.-Jules I. Schaas,
proprietor of the Jewell pool room
on east Evans street found uncon-
scious and bleeding early this even
ing from a bullet wound from right to
left through the temples, died short
ly afterward without regaining SEN
sibility. Ruth Wilson, an inmate OF
the house in Black Cat alley where
the shooting occurred, is under ar
rest as the sole eyewitness if not a
principal. Tonight the police were
noncommittal as to whether in their
opinion Scnaas died by his own hand.
Ruth Wilson says Schaas fired at
her, then turned his revolver and fired
a bullet into his own brain. She
clutched the weapon, she says, and
fred it once, but she says she doesn't
know whether the shot struck Schaas
or went wild. There is bullet in
the ceiling. The revolver was found
in a cuspidor concealed under chair.
It contained one cartridge. The ex-
ploded cartridges had been elected.
Schaas and the Wilson woman were
both more or less under the influence
of intoxicants.
Schaas was between 25 and %. He
is said to have been a North Carolln-
ian. He had relatives in AsheVille
and a brother, Morris S. Schaas, is
proprietor of the ST. Elmo Smoke
shop, Columbia. Ruth Wilson is of
about the same age They had been
much together recently. 1t is said
they had sometimes quarreled.
J. L. Gum, coroner, impaneled a
Jury this evening, which surveyed the
body and the premises and adjourned
to meet this morning at 10 o'clock
and complete the inquest.

Messrs. Wood retired it was testified
by eyewitnesses Joseph G. Sullivan
took Col Cannon to task about the
way he had conducted the case,
saying to Canron that he had made
false statements or lied. Cannon re-
sented this by saying Sullivan was
a liar himself, whereupon the defend
ant came back with stronger asser-
ton, when Cannon struck him on the
side of the head Sullivan Instantly
drew mis- pistol and commenced fir
ing with the result as already stated.
The cane, a light walking stick, was
broken by the blow.
Witnesses for the defense swore
that Cannon applied the vile epithet
to Sullivan and struck him at the
same time, the blow being sufficient
to stagger the defendant, and caused
him to take a step backward from
his position before drawing his pist-l
from his inside coat pocket and be-
ginning to shoot.
Humbert Sullivan, a brother OF the
defendant, was one of the principal
witnesses for the defense, and ne
swore that Col. Cannon threw his
hand back to his hip pocket and at
the same time, or Immediately after,
striking Sullivan. One or two other
witnesses swore to the same state
ment
Before adjourning this evening

answer to tne reserved dicision at the

GUARDS" BEING HIRED BY THE
BRICK MANUFACTURERS
Guards and special police
whatever you want to call 'em-are
being hired by the brick manufacture
ers. Solicitors from the Thiel agency
and from Hunt, Shippy' & Dorman,
and other strikebreaking firms were
in the Office of William Schlake, pres
ident of the Illinois Brick Co., and
leader of the manufacturers in set
ting" the strike.
1.-TWO hundred and fifty guards are
wanted" was the word that passed
around among strikebreaking agen-
cies. Firms that supply gunner
squads on notice, sent their solicitors
to Schlake to bid on the business.
No strikebreakers are wanted yet.
Only guards" This was what
Schlake explained to two of the
solicitors.
This means that the immediate
battle viii be only for the purpose
of moving brick. No manufacturing
will be attempted until a test of
strength has been had on hauling
brick from the yards to where build
ings are going up.
The teamsters are. strong for
Frank hasten and the $500 brick
makers who are resisting the low
wage of the brick trust. If the bricks
are hauled, it will not be union team
sters doing it.
