SHOT TWICE BY A FRIEND REFUSED TO GIVE THE GUN- WIELDER MONEY. Indulgence in Too Much Liguor Re- sults in a Brutal Attempt 1i: Murder—Horatio Paul in Prison. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, Nov. 20. Davie was taken to the Recelving Hospital to-night with a bullet wound in his chest and an- other in the left shoulder. His assailant, Horatio Paul, is in the City Prison, charged with assault to murder. The shooting occurred at tue corner of First avenue and Maple street, where both re- side. Their stories as to the cause and time of the shooting vary greatly. According to the injured man the affalr occurred be- tween 1 and 2 o'clock this afternoon. Da- vie is a gardener and has of late worked at the Catholic Deaf and Dumb Asylum at Fortieth street and Telegraph avenue. He is a Chilean, aged 33 vears, and re- sides In a cabin in the rear of Paul's premises. The story he tells is plausibie and is partially corroborated by Romeo Figarara, who has a room at Paul's house. “I was out In the yard at about 1:30 o'clock this afternoon when Paul, who was drunk, asked me for a quarter. I told him no, I had given him $1 last night and he spent it for liquor, and he had Manuel enough. ‘I will fix you, then, you black —— —— he said, and he went into his kitchen. When he came out again he shot me twice and I fell. Paul then went back into the house and I crawled into cabin. Twice before Paul had threat- hoot me while he was drunk.” ened to When Figarara called on Davie about 7 o'clock to-night he found that nis_in- jJuries were serious and notified Officer Keefe. Davie and his assailant were placed in the patrol wagon together. While the former lay groaning his as- sailant claimea that he (Davie) had broken through his kitchen door some time between 3 and 4 o'clock this morn- ing: that he had told him to go away, and Davie refusing he shot him. £ “You know that is not true’ replied the injured man. It was this ‘afternoon and you were drunk.” Figarara states that he heard the shots fired at azbout 2 o'clock this afterngon fired he Fushed out and prevented Paul from firing a third shot. It is supposed that all three were very much the worse for liquor, and after the shooting Figa- rara returned to his room immediately. ‘At the City Prison Paul became very talkative.

Although severe disappoint- | ment followed the failure of Oakland to name the Governcr, it soon disappeared, and at last night's ratification meeting Dr. Pardee was one of the most jubilant of 'those who were proud to be present. The statement of Major. McLaughlin that Dr. Pardes is the natural candidate of the | party at the next State convention should Tot be forgotten bv the Republicans. The | party In Oakland has wiuun the past two | Weeks demonstrated its loyalty to the | State and county tickets, and it is the| duty of the leaders to see that the city | elects a government that will materifally | ald party progress during the next two years. Oakland is not alone in doing things that are freakish. She has a rival in San Lean- dro. This little town has recently proved her public spirit by subscribing liberally to establish a large cannery, and is now striving to bring a fruit-drying establish- ment into its midst. Yet the pretty place across the bridge has not yvet passed the | ge of lighting the town with oil lamps, while many of her citizens revel in the luxury of gas. On this side of the bay very little sur- prise was expressed when it became nown that old Horace W. Carpentier had becme an_ally of Dr. McDonald In_the scheme to fleece the depositors of the Peo- ple’s Home and Pacific banks. Carpen- tier's history is well known to the older | generation, although the younger element sometimes wonders at the bitter feeling that has been handed down in regard to rpentier and his assoclates. As a mat- ter of fact, one of the chief reasons why jonds were not favored for the purchase of Adams Point by the city a month ago was the antipathy still feit toward any- thing that .has any connection with the frauds of Carpentler and his associates forty years ago. STUART W. BOOTH. DRANK FOUR OUNCES OF WHISKY AND DIED FATAL THIRST OF A FOUR- YEAR-OLD CHILD. John Vierra Jr. of Pleasanton Found a Jug in Which Death Lurked. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Nov. 20. Whisky caused the deatu of the four- year-old son of John Vierra at Pleas- nton this afternoon. The child had been | laving in the bedroom shortly before 8| o'clock, and there found a jug of the | liquor, from which it is supposed he drank about four ounces. The mother, sitting in another room, heard the child fall quite heavily, and surprised that no outcry followed Bur- ried to see what the little one was doing. She found her baby lying on the floor un- conscious. By his side stood the Whlskk’> jug, from | which about four ounces had been drunk. Dr. Hirschiser was immediately sum- moned, but could do nothine for the child. The little one remained unconsaious until death_came, about an hour after the fatal dose had been quaffed. A Tater Paul stated that he had visited Davie in his cabin between 4 and § o’clock ihis afternoon. “But,” sald he, ‘“Davie didn't recognize me. He knew he was shot, but said nothing about it, and I went out.” The police are inclined to_place more credence in Davie's story, for Paul appears {00 ready with answers to questions that | are leading. Atthe Receiving Hospital Dr. J. M. Kane attended Davie's injuries. Neither of the bullets could be found to-night. One took effect almost in the center of the breast and is believed to have ranged downward between the fifth and sixth ribs and lodg- ed in the lower part of the lobe of the right lung. The other bullet took effect high up in the left shoulder, ranging to- ward the neck. At a late hour Davie was resting ea: Funds for a New Church.

JOHN REDDY DID NOT 00 THE SHOOTING. Some Other Man Shot Officer Keyes. A MYSTERIOUS ASSAILANT THE PRISONER’S STORY AS PUB- LISHED WAS TRUE. e Was at the Haywards Hotel at the Time the Midnight Duel Was Taking Place. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Nov. 20. The man who shot Charles Keyes, the Alameda policeman, in this city shortly after midnight yesterday, near Jefferson Park, is unknown and still at liberty. The local police department, Detective Denny Holland and Sheriff-elect Oscar Rogers, also Marshal of the Encinal City, are in absolute darkness as to the iden- tity of the would-be murderer of Keyes. That John P. Reddy, who was arrested in San Jose yesterday and brought here, is not the man was proved to-day beyond a doubt. According to the statement of Detective Holland, made to-night, Reddy has es- tablished one of the clearest alibis that a prisoner and suspect has ever been fortu- nate enough to make out. “This man, John P. Reddy, is not the man who shot Officer Keyes,” said De- tective Holland. “Of that we are certain beyond the slightest doubt. We regarded Reddy’s story as very plausible last night, but to-day every doubt was removed, for | Marshal Rogers and myself took the pris- oner over the ground from here to Hay- wards, and we know that from there he boarded the train for San Jose yesterday morning. In fact the conductor recog- nized Keddy when we came up with him as having been a passenger on his morn- ing firlq to the Garden City. “We learned at San Leandro that Red- dy had been seen at Charles Peterson’s sporting house and saloon in that place last Friday night at about 9:16 o'ciock. Mr. Peterson immediatel recognized Reddy as a man who had several drinks at his bar during t.e course of a half hour last night. We next went to Hay- wards. _There Reddy pointed out the Haywards restaurant and hotel, where he claims he had supper and a bed Friday night. Reddy remained outside wit! Rogers while I went into the place and inquired. One of the proprietors, Manuel Cardoza, positively identified Reddy as a guest at his house Friday night. e said Reddy arrived there about 1v:30, asked for supper and the cook prepared him a meal. Later he was given a bed, and when Car- doza Jocked up for the night at about 11:30 Reddy was in bed and asked for a drink of water. In the morning the pris- oner had breakfast, went to the train and rode to San Jose. “T had my misgivings last night about Reddy being the right man but his alib{ is so clear and not a link in the chain of his story is missing, so there is no doubt about Reddy’s innocence on this charge at least. 1 have no longer any doubt that Officer Keyes arrested the wrong man early Saturday morming. But who can this man be? Surely no innocent man would resist arrest to the extent of tak- ing life, and it is evident that the man intended murder. I belleve that the un- known assailant must be one of the most desperate criminals that has struck this part of the country.” Officer Keyes rested easy all day, and hopes of his recovery are brighter to- night; but he is still too weak to make any statement, and it will be several days he{ore he will be able to give any_clear account of the almost fatal duel. Reddy will probably be taken to the Alameda City Prison to-morrow to answer the charge of criminal assault upon the young Shattuck girl. Officer Keys is reported to have struck his _prisoner on the head with his hand- cufts, but Reddy’s scalp shows no marks. Of late numerous burglaries have been committed, and on the night Keyes was shot two burglaries were reported. It is now supposed that the man Keys arrested whas none else than a burglar.

MISS OLNEY’S LIFE NOT YET CLOSED RECOVERS FROM EFFECTS OF MORPHINE. The Young Lady Says She Was Pos- sessed of an Idea That She Had Berter Die. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Nov. 20. Miss Grace Olney, the young lady who attempted to commit suicide at midnight at the Weber House, was treated very he- rolcally at the Receiving Hospital, and with such success that she was able to be taken away by her friends this after- noon. The unhappy girl Is 23 years of age and lived with her relatives at Fruitvale. She had been despondent for a few days, but no one suspected that she was subject to suicidal ideas. She is very well con- nected and is a relative of Attorney Wells Whitmore, who called at the hos- Ellal to-day and, with her mother, took ler _home. ‘When Miss Olney recovered consclous- ness she said she was simply tired of life and desired to die. She stated positively that there was no romance behind her desire to leave the world, and that the letter she left behind her contained the whole truth. In the note Miss Olney stated that the future had no bright hopes for her and she had nothing to live for. —_—e————— CHEERFUL IN DEFEAT. Stoddard Finds Fun in Reckoning | His Expenses. ALAMEDA, Nov. 20.—T. C. Stoddard, late Democratic candidate for County Clerk, is cheerful even in defeat. He has prepared his statement of expenditures in compliance with the purity of elections law. A vein of humor runs through the | document that gives evidence that Mr. Stoddard looks on the cheerful side of life. He is more than cheerful over the fact that he expended a fraction over $400 running for an office he failed to reach, and finds a bit of fun in nearly every item of his account. He had the experience of most candi- dates and had business dealings with the politiclans’ bogie man, whom he refers to as L. E. G. Puller. The nature of the item is set forth as “leg”; the service perform- ed, “elongation,” and the purpose of the expenditure, “‘saved his life.” ~ Puller got $2 50 out of the deal. ” M. F. Tarpey of the Union Campaign Committee was pald $125, and W. J. Bur- well of the Independent Republicans $35. | Mr. Stoddard avers these amounts were donations, but under the head of “service performed” he has written, “Don’t know.” From_various stable keepers he hired rigs. These were for transporting him during his campaigning through the coun- ty. Specifying by whom the service was performed Mr. Stoddard gives credit to *ia horse.” The street car companies re- ceived some of the defeated candidate’s good money, but “R. R. employes and electricity” are put down as those who performed the service. M. R. Skelly and M. E.

Does Not Like Curtin’s Insinuations About Jury-Bribings OAKLAND, Nov. 20.—Attorney George ‘W. Baker is considerably aroused at the that money might be used by Mrs. Wil- liams or Miss Loose to influence jurors in the Nevills case. “The suggestion that our side of the case has a cent to give jurors or any- body else is positively ridiculous,” sald Attorney Baker to-night. ““All the money is on the other side. My clients are two poor women, typewriters, without a dollar. They have no money to pay attorneys or anybody else, and it is folly to even hint that they would attempt to bribe a jury. I think the instnuation has been made as a counter irritant. On the side of Nevills there is all the money desired, and he has made his boast that he will win this case if it costs him $100,000. I do not belleve any of the attorneys he has employed would connive for a moment at any attempt to bribe a juror, but there are persons who allege that they are con- nected with the case in Captain Nevilis’ behalf whom I would not doubt are ca- pable of anything. “I do not know a single juror in the case, and the mere fact that one of them met an old friend in the courtroom is, I understand, the basis of the theory that money is being used to influence jurors in the interests o1 my clients, who are ab- solutely without funds. I do not think any intelligent person will doubt for a mo- ment where any money might come from that would be used to bribe the jury. That is all T have to say.” e INCENDIARY AT WORK.
