DEATH REWARD OF HiS DEVOTION His Life to Protoct\ Gave and Shield Wayward Brother. AR S S RAFAEL, Jan. 21.—The funeral of Matthew Reilly, who was shot Saturday night by W. F. Warburton, will take place to-morrow a from his home in preparations have 1d it will probably be one of largest funerals ever seen here. The military company under Captain Cheda end in force. The deceased was years a member of the com- pany. The inquest was held by Coroner Eden this morning and the jury, after listening to the evidence of several eye-witnesses, verdict finding that deceased came to his death from a gunshot wour inflicted by Warburton afterward served with a warrant in-the Jail charging him with murder. am Shannon, who conducts the where the shooting. occurred,, testi- that Rellly approached Warburton and asked to speak to him for a minute. Warburton refused and told him to go tied away. Rellly was insistent and repeated | time stepping | his request, at the same slightly forward. Warburton then fired. Thomas Keogh, another witness, ' told practically the same story. -The wit- nesses testified that Reilly’s manner was not threatening at the time. Back of Saturday night's killing is an Old,” be- cause for months, whether true or un- true, it has floated about this city on the waves of gossip, and strange because it tells of great depravity. The Kkilling of Matt Reill Saturday night forms one of the concluding chap- ters and the end of the trial of his slayer will form the last. it appears that in the Rellly -family | are several brothers, the deceased being the eldest. The father dled some years ago and Matthew stepped into his place and cheerfully assumed the responsibility that fell upon his shoulders, though_ he was barely of age at the time. His brother John was the next oldest and was about six years his junior. In time Mat- thew learned the horseshoer’s trade. He married, started business for himself and He was quiet, peaceable and industrious, and had many friends. His | brother John grew up and was widely different. “He was wild. He drank, and when drinking quarreled. Many times Matt came to the rescue of his younger brother and saved him from | the penalty of some wrongdoing. When all others gave up the reformation of John Reilly, his brother MAtt only clung | the closer. At this stage of the story W. F. War- burton appears—a large, powerful man, educated, of fine presence and the provrie- tor of the Cypress Villa, one of the finest and best patronized boarding places in this city, numbering unonf its guests fummer visitors and people in all the bet- ter walks of life. W. F. Warburton met John Rellly. He took him to the villa, dressed him in good clothes, gave him money and maintained him. Upon oecca- sions when John was recovering from the effects of a debauch, Warburton would carry his meals. streets they were inseparable com- anjons. People began to comment upon arburton’s strange choice of a com- panion. This state of affairs continued until about seven weeks ago. Here the stories conflict. Some say that Matthew ot & promise from his brother John that e would leave the villa. One evening, about that time, Warbur- ton started on a hunt for his protege, John Rellly. He followed him to three | saloons in this city and at last caught | him at the corner of Fourth and A :dlr“e‘ets and knocked him down and ki across the sidewalk, tearing his and The latter was | In the villa and on the ! /WILL SING AND DANCE ' FOR SWEET CHARITY Francesca Society of St. Ignatius Church Beneficiary of Clever Performance. | O-NIGHT'S the night of the bene- fit to the Francesca Training School which a number of tal- | ented amateurs are to give in Na- | tive Sons’ Hall.

Oscar Frank, the well-known vocalist, will give his imitation of the Bowery boy. George Hammersmith will have something to make the audience forget its troubles. Tom Hickey will thrill in recitations. Miss Irene McLouth is to sing Scotch songs with real Highland ac- | cent, and many others will give of their best’ for charity.

Rellly struggled to his feet after his assailant had departed and in the blindness of his rage he told the bystanders a story that shocked as quick- ly ‘as it spread through the community. He sought the services of a night watch- man tG see him to the family home, as he sald Warburton would !li{e to kill him. Here is where Matthew. illy took the part that resulted in his death. It is stated that after the assault Matt went to Warburton and told him to leave John alone, and not speak to him; that he was going to put him to work in his shop when he came back, he having left town for a few days to let things be forgotten. Last Saturday afternoon Warburton met John Reilly on Fourth street and started to address him. Reilly ran into a laundry, and when he emerged later Warburton again addressed him. John said, I don’t want to talk to you. I' been told to say nuthlnf to you.” When seen at the jall Warburton says that at that meeting John threatened to kill him. The prosecution have several witnesses who will swear that Warburton exhibited his pistol after the meeting and sald, “Rellly will get this.” It will be the theory of the prosecution that Matt Rellly, when he was shot, was about to ask Warburton to leave his brother alone, ‘Warburton's side of the story is that out of friendship for Reilly's dead father he tried to reform John ahd make a man of him; that he has done hundreds of fa- vors for the Rellly family; that Matt Reilly owed him considerable borrowed money; that he beat John Reilly because had lled about him and started the scandalous story: that Matt supported his brother, and that both on many occa- sions threatened to kill him.

S T o TELEGRAPH OPERATOR COMMITS SUICIDE William J. Kirkwood Takes Poison and Is Found Dead in a Lodging-House. Willlam J. Kirkwood, a telegraph oper- ator, was found dead yesterday afternoon in his room at 607 Fddy street. Kirkwood was recently released from the insane asylum at Stockton and on his arrival in this city went to a former residence and applied for a room. Because of his previous attempt to commit suicide and other strange acts he was refused. On Wednesday last he hired the room in which he died. Sunday evening he asked the proprie- tor of the house not to wake him until 3 o'clock the following day, as he had considerable writing to do and would not retire until late. ~When the landlord knocked at Kirkwood's door and received no response he ‘entered through a side window and found the man dead. Cir- cumstances indicate that Kirkwood com- mitted suicide. On a table was an enve- lope containing $8 addressed to Mrs. E. J. Moore of 1432 Larkin street. Consider- able poison was also found in his trunk. The body was taken to the Morgue, where Dr. Bacigalupi gave as his opinion that death was caused by cyanide of potas- stum. The stomach will be_sent to the City Chemist for analysis.

When confronted with the evidence of her guilt, Mrs, Ross broke down and made a _compléte confession. While she was being booked the prison officials recognized her as the woman who a few nights ago was picked up omn Kearny street contiguous to the Hall of Justice. . She had. a three-year-old boy Wwith her, whom she claimed was her son. As she told a plausible story of being enniless and unable to support her child, olice Officer “Jim’’ Cavanaugh, who had accosted her, took her and her alleged off- spring to the City Prison, where they were given temporary shelter. The fol- lowing day the child was turned over to the Superintendent of the Soclet: Prevention of Cruelty -to Children and subsequently sent to'a charitable institu- lon.
