the vicinity when the assassination
took place, Gabel was shot down
without warning and without a
word spoken by him or by the as
sassins.
The men probably stood Just
around the west front corner of
Gabel's building and emptied their
guns at him as he walked around
the rear OF his car.
All shots entered his right side.
! One struck Just below the pit of his
right arm and plowed its way clear
through his chest. emerging on the
left side after passing through his
heart. Another struck just over
the right hip and passed through
his abdomen. A third hit just be-
low the hip and lodged in his alb
domen and the fourth struck the
outside of his right calf. moved up
ward and emerged on the inside of
the leg just below the kneecap.
The bullets were all of .3S calibre.
Two types of bullets, brass jack
eted and lead, were picked up after
the shooting, indicating that two
guns were used. probably by both
men. The lead bullets inflicted the
wounds and the others struck the
Gabel automobile.
Born In Iowa.
william c. Gabel was born in
Lowden. Iowa, Aug. o., 1856. and
received his education in the
schools of Glenham, S. D. He came

Saw Car Arrive,


The death car drew up in front
OF the home Of Mrs. Elizabeth
Thorpe, 2309 Fourth avenue, shortly
after midnight, coming from the
west and turning around in front
of her house. Mrs. Thorpe, who
! was expecting her husband home
from work, was in the front part of
the house, and upon hearing the car
arrive she looked out the window.
It was fairly light at that point.
she said, and she could see the car
clearly. 1t was big machine; she
could not make out the type of car
but said it was apparently new.
highly polished and clean. There
were six men in it, two in front and
four in the rear.
She saw two men leap from the
rear seat and run up the sidewalk
eastward, toward Gabers place.
Her house is the third door west.
She watched, curious about their
actions, from behind the shade of
her front window.
She heard half-dozen cracking
shots, like a string of firecrackers
going on" she said, and the two
men came running down the street.

away from the curb and sped down

Gobel was a patrolman on the
Rock Island police force during the
McCaskrin administration in 1867.
He was making ready to retire
from the saloon business, having
purchased land and started a poul-
try farm in the vicinity of his home.
The day before he was murdered
he took out a $25 900 life insurance
policy. This is believed by some
to point TO the fact that he was
apprehensive of possible attack
upon him.
