Clancy, Brooding Over Loss of Suit for ' Which He Blamed the Attorney, Enters Latter’s Office and While Lawyer Tries to Escape U ver With Deadly Effect . s R TTORNEY J. N. E. WILSON, formerly District Attorney of this city and county, and also State Senator and Insurance Commis- sioner, was shot and killed by one of his clients, Patrick W. Clancy, 'a spe- clal policeman, yesterday afternoon. The shooting was the result of the unsatisfac- tory settlement of & legal contest, and occurred in the attorney’s office at 320 ses 44-Caliber Revol point where it entered. The other bullet struck in the back, passing through the intertines and lodging in the fleshy part of the left thigh. Wilson's ante-mortem statement in full is as follows: About ten minutes before 2 o'clock this after- noon 1 was sitting In_my office, room 16, 320 Sansome street. The door opened and Patrick Clancy walked in. There is a counter right op- posite the door, I goc up and walked out of the inner to the main office and went to the counter, 1 said: *'Hello, Pat, did the Judge decide your motion?’ He said: ‘‘Yes, he decided against me and 1 have to pay rent, too.” I said: ‘‘Yes, ever since Judge Coffey's decision you'll have 'to pay rent.”” He said: Oh, no, I wouldn't, and now Iam in a —— of a hole, and this i{s what I came down to do. Without a word more he pulled out his re- volver and started to shoot. As soon as he took it out I saw it and I put up both of my hands and sald: “For God's sake, Pat, don't do that, and I started to run.

J. N. E. Wilson was about 45 years of age, having been born in this city, where his aged parents still reside, in . After a course In the public schools he entered the University of California, from_ which he graduated with honors in 1876. He then studied law for two years in the office of Judge Mastick, and in 1878 was admitted to practice by the Supreme Court of the State. He was not long in demonstrating !hls aptitude for the legal profession, and though quite & young man his name was soon ldentified with some of the most im- portant cases, both civil and criminal, that have come before the courts of this | city. "His success at the bar continued for some years, until he became involved in politics. In 1884 he was elected District Attorney, and on the expiration of his term was sent to the State Senate for the session of 1887-89. Wilson was married in 1877 to a most estimable woman, by whom he had tyo children, both of whom, with their moth- er, are now residing in this city. it was while serving his term as Sen- | ator that he took the step from which most people date his downfall. He pro- cured a divorce from the wife of his voung manhood and the mother of his children and married a woman whom he had met in Sacramento. This cost him | many of his best friends and largely com- | promised his soclal standinrg. He retained his_hold, however, on the political ropes, and in 1889 was appointed Insurance Com- | missioner by Governor Waterman, which | position he held for one term. Part of his strength lay in his affiliations with a num- ber of secret societies, of which he was an active member. In 18% he was made | deputy grand master of the Odd Fellows of California. On the expiration of his tenure of the office of Insurance Commissioner he re- sumed the practice of law, but the best part of his former clientele mno longer | sought his services, and soon his practice | was mostly confined to Police Court cases, and in consequence of a number of ques- tionable transactrons he lost all standing | with the reputable members of the pro- fession.

Bills for Carriages and the President’s Caterer Are Very Large. That President McKinley was the guest of the people of this city in every sense of the term was proven yesterday, when the finance committee of the citizens’ re- ception committee received the bills of the caterer who furnished the provisions for the President and his entourage during his stay at the Scott residence. The pub- licity of this proof, so timely given, will unquestionably be a matter of sincere con- gratulation not only to the public at large and to thereception committee but to Mr. | Scott and to his friends. ‘The presentation of the caterer's ac- count tor provisions used at the Presi- | dent's temporary home and for the hiring of servants to wait upon the President | and the members of his party eradicates the unjust impression that Henry T. Scott had monopolized the chief executive as his exclusive guest or in the slightest way nuG attempted to bear a burden which e people of thig city had so gladly and enthusiastically assumed, ‘I'ne President was as much the guest of the smailest subseriber to the reception tuna as he was of Henry 'I.

A certali | sum was appropriated for the caterer who | was to furnigh the eervants and provide food at the Beott residence, where the | chief execiitive resided. The contract of | the cateret was based on a _sojouin of one | week, but the illness of Mrs. McKinley | caused the retention of his services for | doible that time. | A similar increase in expense was expe- | rlenced as to the use of carriages for the Presidential party. When the contracts were awarded the committee figured on the use of carriages for the various pa- | rades and for the personal use of the Cabinet members and attaches for but one week. The item for carrlage hire was, of course, largely increased by the extra week spent in this city by the Presiden- tial party. Leaving out the expense of carriages for the parades, the citizens’ committee will be called upon to pay twice as much for the use of carriages by the Presidential party as was originally estimated. The viands and flowers prepared for the Ohio banquet will have to be paid for, though they were not utilized. The ban- uet was to have taken place on Thurs- ay, May 16, and the first intimation that the President would be obliged to cancel his engagements owing to the illness of Mrs. McKinley was exclusively announced in The Call on the previous day. ¥. W. Dohrmann, chairman of the fin- ance committee of the reception commit- tee, said yesterday that the bills of ex- pense were being audited, and as soon as possible a detailed statement would be made public and a copy furnished to each subscriber to the entertainment fund. When this statement is made public the injustice of the suspicion against Mr. Scott will be made apparent and the war for pre-eminence as entertainers, social | but bitter, among some of our worthy cit- izens will happily be over, It is estimated | that the total expense will be about dou- ! ble the $30,000 which it was expected would { cover the cost of entertaining the Presi- | dential party for one week.~ Mr. Dohr- mann said that a number of subscribers | had promised to make extra donations to | the entertainment fund. | Decorations Cost $9414 05. The committee on decorations, of which Andrea Sbarboro is chairman, has practi- cally finished its report, showing that $9414 05 was used for street display. The \Vh{ly-Hendy Company will receive $1800 for lighting the ferry tower for five | nights. This sum includes the placing of | the incandescent lamps upon_ the struc- ture. The finance committee has not yet | decided as to whether it will pay the cost | of illuminating the City Hall or if that | expense shall be borne by the city. The arc electric_lights on Market and other streets cost $3125 and the cost of the | evergreens strung across the roadways | figures up to $90. Much comment has | been caused by the fact that the decayed | evergreens have been allowed to remain in place long after the President has left | the city. “hairman Sharboro said yesterday that | the San Francisco Gas and Electric Com- pany had contracted to put up all the wires and_lights and had agreed to take | the same down. It was understood by the lighting company that the florist should be permitted to ‘string evergreens on the | wires, but that the company should re- move them. 4 Must Take Down Evergreens. Mr. Sharboro yesterday notified the gas and_electric company that it must pro- ceed to take down the wires without fur- ther delay, and the manager of the com- pany promised that the work would be done at once. The contract for evergreens was awarded to Jacquemet & Co. B. Pasquale & Son will receive $704 85 for the flags used on the streets and for :he badges furnished the various commit- ees. Feigenbaum & Co. are to be paid $335 for flags used at the ferry dogot reception and $31 35 for flags used on the exterior of the building. Badges for the Native Sons’ reception cost $252, while the cost of plac- ing flags in position on the streets calls for the payment of $175. The California Fireworks Company is to be pald 8181385 for the red fire and other glaring displays made during the week of May 13. The committee spent $70 for printing 20,000 circulars asking the public to decorate buildings and for the distribution of the printed matter. J. b, who decorated the Government transport dock, from which point the President started to see the Ohio launched, will be paid $60. Fof views thrown on a screen at night by a Stereop- ticen firm to amuse the crowds the com- mittee will disburse $97. , A large item of expense will be the mili- tary bands used in the parade when the President rode through the city on Tues- day, May 14. L o e ) causing the death of Addie Gilmore, and was later charged by Dr. West with rob- bing him of , which was in his box at the People's Savings Bank, to which he gave Wilson access for the purpose of getting the sum of $1000. The ventilation of this affair in tke papers at the time caused Wilson to leave the State and go to Mexico. He returned, however, in the spring of 1895, and again resuming busi- ness acquired a more and more unsavory 1eputation. ‘Wilson was said to have assisted in the escape from his office window of a noted burglar client against whom the police \had” strong evidence and whom he ar- ranged to have visit him under the guard of a deputy sheriff. Wilson, however, per- suaded the deputy to remain outside the room, while his man dropped from the window to the street and fled. Two years i | | and judgment obtained for '$4000, which as Insurance Commissioner he had deposited in the bank instead of transmitting at once to Sacramento, as the law required. This judgment cerved as a bar to an in- dictment for embezzlement when his case | was later presented to the Grand Jury. In 1893 he was engaged by Dr. West to fend him on the charge of murder in ago he concocted the straw bond scheme in behalf of a negro client, also named Wilson, by which the latter was enabled to escape justice. Kelly, the Police. Court clerk who accepted the bond, was convict- ed and sentenced to two years in the pen- itentiary for his connection with the case. Kelly appealed to the Supreme Court and a few days ago was granted a new trial. 1 PROOF THAT LUKHERATH KNEW THE HISLOP BOY / Charles Seibt, Storekeeper, Positively Identifies Suspect as Man Who Came to His Place in Company With the Boy a Few Days Before the Murder—Jewelry Is Stolen | NH of the most Important devel opments yesterday In cofinection with the mtrder of Robert Hislop J¥. was the positive contradlction of Lukherath's statement that he aid net know the unfortunate boy. When taken into custody on suspicion of having committed the uwful crime Lukherath de- clared to Detective Hd Gibson that he had never met young Hislop, notwith- standing that he had lived In the same house with him. Charles Seibt, who con- ducts a candy and fruit store at 1944 Mar- ket street, says that Lukherath lied when he declared that he was not acquainted with the murdered boy. “It was only last Wednesday evening,” said Seibt to Detective Gibson, ‘‘that Lukherath and Hislop vigited my place of business together and Lukherath pur- chased 10 cents’ worth of candy. After passing the candy to Hislop he promised to pay him 25 cents for the delivery to him of every letter received at the Haight street residence addressed to him. “The boy, in anticipation of earning some money, promised to bring to Lukhe- rath all letters that came to the house addressed to him. “They then left the store and walked up Market street.” Thinking that Seibt might be mistaken in the identification of the suspected mur- derer, Captain Seymour had Lukherath brought from the prison and confronted | with the .candy dealer. Identified by Seibt. “Is this the man whom you saw in your store with Hislop?'’ asked the head of the detective department, pointing to Lukhe- rath. “T could not be mistaken,” positively de- clared Seibt.” “I am willing to swear that he is the man who was with Hislop when they visited my store and bought some candy.” Seibt’s statement and the positive dec- laration of Seibt conclusively prove that the suspected murderer did not tell the truth when he positively declared that he had never met young Hislop. Mrs. Houston, who lives at 4 Central court, near the scene of the tragedy, told the police yesterday that she had seen a man answering Lukherath’'s description at about 8:30 o'clock on the night of the murder standing on Haight street almost opposite the Hislop residence. After be- ing shown Lukherath she declared that he answered the description of the man she had seen. As he was some distance from her she could not see his face, but from the general make up she is confident Lukherath is the man she saw. Last night Lukherath was subjected to a rigid cross-examination by Captain Sey- mour and District Attorney Byington. Sergeant Christlansen acted as inter- preter. After saving that his true name was Herman Lukherath he made the fol- lowing statement: “I left my home in Norway about thir- teen months ago and came to this city by way of New York. Harry Smith, whose ‘mame has also been brought into the case, made the trip with me. After arriviug in this city we went to a lodging house on Third street, but as we were not satisfied, at my suggestion we moved to the Hislop residence. We left there on March 9, as the room we occupied was cold and cheer- less, gand went to live at our present abode at 818 Laguna street. Saturday evening— the date of the murder—Smith and I met in front of the sausage place where I am ema)lo ed. We went to a saloon at Nimth an oward streets and after leavin Smith I returned to the sausage place mg was pald. my wages, amounting to $10. I met another employe of the sausage fac- tory and took him to the saloon where Smith was walting for me. Went Home With Smith. “The three of us had a number of drinks, and it was about 9:3) o’clock when Smith and I left the saloon. On our way home Smith stopped in a drug store on Ninth street and purchased some medi- cine. We then walked to our room, ar- riving there about 10 o'clock. The brass knuckles which were found on me when I was arrested about a year ago were given me by Smith before we left Nor- way. The knife, which was also discov- ered in my possession was my own prop- erty. I carried it while I was in my na- @ ettt et ool et ettt et @ In the Divorce Court.

Smith says that he met Lukherath and, after having several drink®, they walked along Market street to Oak and thence along Laguna to their home. Lukherath, he says, went to bed first. It was between 9 and 10 o’clock when they reached their | room.

His cool demeanor and his readiness to answer all questions in face of the serious ac- cusation against him are sufficient to tify even a Sherlock Holmes. How- ever, 1 intend to hold him until the mys- tery is cleared up.” | All day yesterday a large number of | schoolmates of the murdered boy visited the. Hislop residence and gazed with tear-stained faces on the body of their unfortunate comrade, as it lay in a white casket, which was covered with many beautiful floral pieces. Principal Lyser of the John Swett Grammar School, which the boy attend- ed, also visited the house and took a farewell look at the lifeless form of his once favorite pupil. Will Be Buried To-Day. To-day the funeral of the murdered boy will take place. It is.the intention of tite parents to have the body cremat- ed. Immediately after the body is laid to rest, Mr. and -Mrs. Hislop -will move to another house in order to get away from the scene of the awful tragedy.
