It was my turn to go out, and I went with him. I did not know the gentleman tn the coupe, never having seen him before. We drove on to No. 2314 19:0 street. He told me to go to the house and in- quire for Mr. Kalloch, and tell him that a lady in the coupe wanted to see him. The door was opened by a boy. J delivered the message, and the boy told me that Dr. Kalloch was not in. The gentleman told me to inquire what Mr. Kalloch’s office hours were. 1 was told that he was at his office from ten to twelve. We drove from Mr. Kalloch’s house along Mis- sion street to sth street. Before reaching 6th street Mr. De Young lowered the window or the coupe. We turned down Jessie street to the entrance of the Temple on that street, passing the buggy before stopping. When we stopper Mr. De Young peeped through the curtain of the rear window of the coupe and said, ‘You see that man with the white ulster on; tell him that aledy in the coupe wants to see iim.’ I went. ‘The gentleman in the ulster was in the buggy, accompanied by another man, and was in the act of picking up the reins when I delivered Mr. De Young’s message. Heat once stepped down and approached the coupe cautiously, as if he anticipated something wrong, peering'’sideways at the window of the coupe. Vhen he reached the coupe the shot was fired, which so fright- ened me that I ran as fast as I could back tothe office.” The boy had not’ read the accounts in the fly Of an impending difficuity between De Young and Kallock. He did not suspect at apy time during the ride that the person with him 'n the coupe intended to do anybody any harm. The gentleman was cool, and there was nothing about his persen to indicate that he contemplated the deed that was committed. DE YOUNG HELD TO ANSWER. Charles De Young was brought before the Police Court yesterday, and, waiving examina- uon, was held to answer to the charge of as- Sault with intent to kill, without ball. At the police station vij ice Was relaxed during the day, and only a few officers were on duty, with @ few militiamen and workingmen’s specials, the latter being sworn in for the purpse of making sure that De Young was not spirited aw: KALLOCH’S CONDITION. ‘The leaders of the workingmen’s party held & conference with Mr. Kalloch’s medical at- tendants yesterday to consider the expediency of putting up some other man for mayor. The physicians informed them that at present they Saw nothing in the condition of Mr. Kalloch to render such course necessary, and intimated the probability of his early recovery. PUBLIC OPINION IN SAN FRANCISCO, Considerable prominence was given to the shooting of Mr. Kalloch in the San Francisco ulpits Sunday. W. E, Ijams, of the Green treet Se Church, treated it at Jen: His general conclusions were that Kalloch, whatever his faults might be, Tan of generous impulses, that the attack upon him was cruel and cowardly, and that Chronicle has flourished in this ay is evidence of a low stage of civilization. Rev. Horatio Stebbins, of the First Unitarian Church, formu- lated the idea that society was disgraced by a want of dignity of mind and strength of heart on the pare of both the preacher and the pub- Isher, who heaped abuse on each other until the truth of it beyond endurance, when one Tetallates with the agsaasin's hand for what he in society Kalloch cone resentatives of parties or 0: | ace es ‘Their quarrel was purely personal. m various points of the interior come ex- ressions of ae and public opinion con- lemuing the De Youngs for the course pu! the Chronicle and the subsequent attack on alloch. Similar reports come from Oregon and Nevada. The Call compliments the work- ingmen for their moderate action and Kearney for his prudent course. The Alta further con- ‘siders the tragedy and emphasizes its TASES) condemnation of De Mee? The Chronicl claims its articles inst _Kalloch were pub Ushed from a sense of duty. It holds out the idea that if the election should result in the Workingmen’s success there will be no peace but such as is agreeable to the mob, who mean nothing less than revolution.
