Suddenly, . and without tho slightest provocation, Davis pullod ‘ out * his re- volvor, aund presonted it at Whyland, who immediately got behind the stove. Davis, However, steppod round, and before Wihyland could get ont of tho way, or any one could ren- der him ssaistance, he shot him undor the choek bono, Wbyland died in about ten miuutes. ‘The officors thon cams, aud, after some little troublo, nrrested Davis, Wo novor had any tronble with the fallow before. Tho attack was entirely un- callod tor, Whyland dolog nothing that conld irritate the man. It was nothlnsg but cold- bloodod murder. Davie was in liauor, but he w‘;l]kud stoady, aod ovidently know what ho wae about. HENRY PIBHER, tho head waiter of the Bt.

Davis then ran right through the restaursnt out the back-door into tho slley, and I fullomed him. He ran north to Madison stroot, then turned west aud ran to the other &lde af Dear- born stroet, thon ho turned and ran up toward tho Adelphi. I followed right aftor him. and Lkept shoutlog for somebody to catch tini.

WHEN TAREN TO THE BTATION, Davia feigned to bo oxceadinglydrunk, and would 1ot answer straight questions escopt in the most equivocal and sometlmea nonsonsical manner. With a pillow made of his overcoat he lay down cn tho bench iu his call, and with his head close to the bars, he ntterly refusod to speak or ehow bimself. In suawer to questions propounded by Capt. Buokley, he replicd that he wasin tho com- mission busincss, with beadquaster’s at Lipman's pawnshop, on the corner of Olark and Monroo streots, but refused to Kive any furiher explana- tion, In * appoarance Lo 18 tall, rather aparely bullt, light complexion, gravish- blue' eyes, with an exprossion peculiar to the vagrant class ho ropresents, light sandy halr aud mustache, with emall tabs of beard in front of onch car.

TUE PRISONKE INTERVIRWED, About 8:80 last eveuing, through the courteay of Capt, Buckley, & TRIBUNR roporter was one abled to make another effort to interdiew the privoner. The turnkey took the reporter to the ool where Davis was condned, sud was s witness of the entire proceeding, which was dramatio ia the extrema.

Rep.—Cortatnly, sir. Thoro is no nss of your affocting ignoranco. You havo commitied a cold- blooded and daatardly wurder, which has no ox- tonuating circumstances surroundivg it. A DRAMATIO BCENE. Davis now assumed s tragic powe, and sote- what aftar the utylo of the late Edwin Korreat iu “King Loar.” He oxclaimed in a loud voico, drawing up his clenchied fiats, apparontly in holy borror: Mo kill & manl!

Davia sat down agaln and rald: “Bo thatis what I am in for presume I'llknow all about it In tho moroiug.” Rep.—Youn koow all about it now. At this juncture Davia again leaped from his neat, with the agility of a wild-cot, tuwards tho other side of tho cell, aud assumed onco mora the tragic pose, casting bis hoad down thia timo a5 if to Wweop.

Tho fact is vory woll known ilut Davis was in the aily at tho timo of, and shortly aftor, the terrible fire of 1871. Tho gamblers give Davis a posceable charac- tor; thas he was mober aud never kuown to drink ; and thoy are trying to TINO IN TIE INBANITY DODOF in order to brave public opinion. This indicaten what the defonse will be, but tho schemo i8 too thin, and tho enda of justice onght uot to bo al- lowed to bo thwarted in this way.

A CONVENIENT MEMORY. Dufluglthu afternoon Davis had been around the 8t. Elmo fooling with a cub-bear that way fastenod in front of the door, and the mnimal was plagued so much by bim that it rewlisted by bitlog im in the fing At the atation-house, the roporter asked Davis about this circumstance, an he had heon & witnoss to it, but Davis disclaimed all recollootion of it. ‘Tho reporterthen asked him to show hishand, mod the marks in the forefinger of the right hend were shown, Davia Lad no mors to ssy on that subjoct, DAVIS A DELIBERATE LIAD. e denied baviog bad & pistol, but whea told ho lied, that it was in the posgsssion of the offi- cora of the law, he subaided.

POLICE-REQORDS BHOW, The police-racords prove him otherwiss. Sov- eral yoars ago Davia was o jail in this city, hav= ing boon oharged as being with a_ man who had malc sn atiempt st murder. Davis, beivg & wmbler, had {ntlucace among tha ypowors that Eu, and went scot-froo after a conplo of days' con finoment.

Tho almost usiversal exclamation wes, *Poor Charloy,” and the expreesion of pity for tho victim was universal. Tho next thing that camo to the minds of the people was Litter denuucie- tion of tho syetem of scoundrelism which was ropresented by Davis, Ono man sald: “*If the people don't rise up now sud drive theso thieves outof the city, thoy might s well givo up to thom, and let them have tho town.” Another ropliod s ** If tho pnlico don't do some- thing now the people will Lave to take Lold themseives.” 8till another, an old man without a atoop, and with iron-gray whiskers and an eyo thst sparkled, said+ ** 1 wau in Californis In Vigilanto times, and Ban Franclsco was never as bad off na Clicago ia to-day." A gontloman in tho Grand racific rotunda said last evening to o crowd : ** Which of yon gentio- men is safer tLis mioute than Charley Whyland was whoa that bunkoeroper killed him?" snd tho crowd looked uneasy at the idoa, Another gootleman in tho sawe botel said, a fow minutes afterward: ** There aro more lamp- posts than thore are bunko-ropers; woulda't it bo & good thing to joln the two thinge some- how?" On all eldes the opinion was expressed that Davis ought to swing, and no spacial pleadinga or mandlin sentimentality sbould save his neck. and give his worthless carcess a Inase of hfg longer than ig necosasry for tho administration of justice.
