A little later it was found on the floor in great pain and’ the empty benzine bottle told the rest of the story. After working on the baby for a couple of hours Dr. O. L.

What led up to the shooting is unknown, as none of King's associates were aware | ot his consorting with the woman. The shooting is best tuid in the words of P. M. Hickman, the colored janito | who says: | “When I came on duty at 6 o’clock this evening I saw a woman standing | in the hall near the head of the stairs. She asked me 1f every one had left the building. 1 said no, and gathered up a few of my tools. When L came back from the room where my brooms were, the woman had disappeared, but her strange actions aroused my suspicions, and 1 walked down the corridor on the other side of the floor. She was in the dark part of the hall, but the windows across the light shaft gave her an op- portunity to look into the office of the City Engineer. She disappeared again, | and when I next saw her she was hid behind a pillar which supports the | staircase. 1 went about my work for twenty-nive minutes, but her actions worried me so 1 returned to see what became of her. She had gone to the same window in the dark part ofj the hall, and after peering through it re- turned to the pillar and concealed he: self. I went into the office at the head of the short stairs, and as 1 closed the door I heard a heavy slam. for sounds, but not a word was tered until the pistol shot rang out. ut- I the floor and the woman bending over him, endeavoring to put her revolver under her cloak.

Drs. Hagan and Choate found that a 32-caliber bullet had en- tered the body two inches below the navel. King began to sink rapidly, and Father McCreigan was called to admin- ister extreme unction. King was re- moved to the California Hospital, | where an operation will be performed.
