Dr. Stoll gave a Call reporter his version | of the affair. He sald: | “Dr. Blake is sometimes very peculiar; | that is, he is inclined to be hasty. I was | telling him to hurry with some work, as a patient was waiting. A few words fol- lowed and I told him that he must obey me or quit. Upon that he ran out to the laboratory and came back with what, at the time, I thought was an iron bar. He said: ‘We might as well have it out now as at any time! I will brain you! at the same time waving the instrument which he had in his hand. T ran to my desk, in which T keep my revolver, and taking it from the drawer I said: ‘Go out of here | or T will shoot you." He was still threat- | | ening me with the instrument he carried, and which I afterward found to be a po- liceman’s club, which belongs to the jani- | tor. As he was still threatening I shot at his leg.” Dr. Stoll was informed that a bullet had | made a wound in the breast, above the heart. He. said in answer: “No, that cannot be. I intended only to shoot at his Jeg as he came forward with | the weapon.” Whes, at this point, Police Officer Galla- way also informed the doctor that the | man bad been wounded in the region of | the heart, and probably fatally, he seemed | to feel his position keenly and insisted | that he had shot low. —_— MISS ROCK’S STORY. | Assistant in the-Office Tells of the Quarrel. Miss Lillie Rock, the assistant in the dental parlors, who was in room 10 at the time of the shooting, said: “The first I heard of any dispute be- tween Dr. Stoll and Dr. Blake was when | I heard the latter say to Dr. Stoll, ‘Well, | come out and-we will settle this.” They were then in room 6, I think. I heard Dr. Stoll tell Dr. Blake to go back. Dr. Blake had a club in his hand. I saw it| ! as he passed the door. of room 10. Then | I heard two shots and I heard Dr. Blake say that he was shot. He came into room 10, where 1 was, opened his vest and 1 saw blood running down his breast and | dyeing his shirt. Dr. Blake said, ‘Right through the heart.’ Dr. Nixon then went for a doctor. On other occasions I have heard the two have a few slight words, but never knew them to have an actual | quarrel.” — FIRING IN DEFENSE. | Dr. Stoll’s Explanation to the Ele- vato: Man, Frank Latchaw, in charge of the ele- vator, sald: “I heard three shots. I made two trips in the elevator and then went into room 10. 1 passed Miss Rock. I asked her | what was the matter, and she replied, do not know.” I walked into the roo |and saw Dr. Stoll standing there. asked him what hed happened. He re- | plied, ‘He came at me with an iron bar.’ Dr. Stoll stooped down between the door dividing rooms 6 and 8 and picked up a club and said, ‘This is what he came at me with." “1 said, ‘Did you down him?' v m 1 ARERRY, RRRRRRREER RRRERRRRRRRRRRY, PRERRRRRER RRRRRRR RRRRERRR RRERR R, RRRRR R R R R nERRRERRRY, The club shown me by Detective Rey- | nolds is the one shown me by Dr. Stoll | and which he said Dr. Blake came at him with.” Antonia Semeriza, janitor of the build- | ing. made the following statement shortly | after the occurrence: “I asked Dr. Stoll after the shooting if he knew awhere my club was. He sald, ‘It is in the drawer.’ Some ‘man opened the | drawer and gave it to me. The club al- | ways hangs in room 48.” { Dr. Stoll had placed the club in a | drawer in his own desk in room 6 after the wounded man had been taken to Dr. Treyer’s office. e HEARS QUARREL FROM CHAIR. | Leon Munier’s Story of Row Preced- | ing Shooting.

Munier sald: “It was about 11:40 o’'clock when I went to the dentist's. Dr. Blake was attending to my case in room 10 and would occa- slonally leave the room. He returned finally and set a cap on my tooth. After that he left abruptly and I heard him say to Dr. Stoll: ‘Come outside, you — T'll knock your brains out!’ Dr. Stoll remarked: ‘You're excited; keep quiet.” “Dr. Blake returned to the room where 1 was and again left and was away for about ten minutes. Being in a reclining position in the dental chair I did not notice whether Dr. Blake was exclted. As Blake left the room once more I heard | him remark to a person emploved there they call ‘Nick," ‘Come on, Nick, let us take it away from him.’ I did net know what he referred to at the time. Imme- diately after I heard the report of a pis- tol. Three shots were fired. They were not fired in rapid succession but, I showd judge, with the interval of the counting ‘one’ between each report. I remained in my position, seated in the dental chalr. Blake walked intg the room say- ing at the same time, ‘I am shot.’ “I then hastened out and brought in a doctor from the upper floor of the build- ing. When Blake came into the room I did not see anything in his hand, my head being tilted back. If he had anything in the form of a weapon I should not have seen it on account of the position I was in.” e WOUNDED MAN’S STATEMENT. Declares He Got Club After Stoll Drew the Revolver. At the Central Emergency Hospital Dr. D’Evelyn and Dr. Nathan Rogers dressed Blake's woungs. They found both bul- lets near the skin and extracted them. They found little difficulty in controling the hemorrhages, but were inclined to be- lieve that the wounds'would prove fatal. Dr. Blake did not lose . consciousness. He bore his pain stoically, and somewhat later when he had made a statement to Assistant District Attorney Ward he de- stroyed- its effect as a possible dying statement by’ saying' stoutly, “But I'm not going to die.” A later statement, however, was in due legal form. Blake lives in Berkeley with his mother, the widow of the late Dr. Charles E. Blake, at 3020 Deakin street. Dr. Stoll has a wife and two children, and lives at 1144 Masonic avenue. Dr. A. E. Blake and Louls Blake and Mrs. James Macdermott, brothers and sister of the wounded man, reached the hospital soon after his arrival, and have remained constantly at the bedside. Though at first Dr. Blake, with the approval of his brothers, refused to make a statement in the presence of Dr. Stoll, as is required by law, he consented shortly before 6 o'clock to do so. At ‘that time he was sinking rapidly and Chief Surgeon Edwin Bunnell thought the ‘ end was pear.

I am working on one of the patients of Decker & Stoll. I was waiting for one of the crowns to be set. In the meantime a patient of mine by appointment at ‘12 o'clock came into the office—a Mrs. Clauss and her daughter. I am making a plate for her. While Nixon was making a crown 1 was taking an Impression from my patient. Nixon finished his work and asked me if 1 wanted to sce this patient any more. I saja, ‘“Yes.” Stoll came In and sald, “I want you to walt on that patient in the other room. "I don't like it a d—n bit."" He insulted me and scared the patient, ani the patient left the. room. He angered me and there were some hard words. 1 said, “‘Come out in the hall.” He sald I was crazy. There was a heated argu- ment. He went to his desk and got a pistol and pointed | at me and sald, “‘Get the ho—1 out of here’ He raised his hand to me and 1 backed away. Then I was angered and went into the laboratory to get a club. 1 came back and told him that T would take the pls- tol away from him. I started to take it away from him, bul before I could get near him he fired two shots. The first one struck me in the breast; the second in the hip. 1 fell. Then he fired a’ third shot while I was down. He was after me: he wanted my life. He tHen went out of the door. I did not have any. ple- tol. T said to him, ““Why don’t you be like a an?’ It had no effect. He was after my 0. The statement was made in the pres- ence of Detectlves Crockett and Reynolds, who signed it as witnessés, Dr. Blake was suffering much pain and as a conse- quence his statement was somewhat Qis- connected, but all the witnesses and phy- siclans were positive he was in a ‘proper condition to state the facts of the shoot- ing as they appedred to him. AR DR. STQLL’S VERSION. Account Differs Materially From Wounded Man’s Story. . Dr. Stoll was.booked at the City Prison on a charge of assault to murder. His statement to Captlain of Detectives Mar- tin is as follows: 1 My name is B. F. Stol, of the firm of Decker & Stoll, in rooms 6-8-10 and 48, in tha Phelan building, ac 806 Market street, In this city, About 11 o'clock this morning’ I put Dr. Robert Blake to work on a ysung gentleman patient. After working awhile as directed, hs left that patient and went to.work on another Who had come in, leaving the first party sitting in & chair. Dr. Decker came 'n and asked mie why Blake was not at work on the first pa- tient. 1 told Dr. Decker :o ask Blake the reason, and he (Decker) told me to go and ses that Blake waited on the man at ont I then went and told Blake that he would have to leave the party he was working on and go and finish the work for the first pa tient' at once. PBlake quit work on the - tient he was engaged with and went back to the first one. 4 I then passed through the room that Blake was at work in, on my way to the laboratory, wken Blake ran at me, pointing his finger in my face, sald he was going to have It out with me, inviting me to go to the laboratery.. I stepped. back into the reception room and told him to go away from me, as he was excited. He came toward me. I backed away into my room, vartially falling over a chair that was standing in the room. I am nearly helpless from lumbago in the back. I reached for a cane I thought was in the room. .Fail- ing to find it, I pulled open a drawer in my roller-top desk and took out a revolver, He was then nearly on top of me: had his hand on me as I Jay tripped on the chair. [ pulled the gun to defend myself by ‘striking him witn ‘He ran out of the roo came back with what I thought was a swedg- ing hammer, holding it over his head and I am a member dentists, located % carsing me, said he would kill me. and T really do not know what all he did say, all the While advancing toward me. I told him not te come any closer, but’ he kept adyancing toward me. I backed away as far as I could and do not know what did -happen after that. The pistol I had was a self-cocker, ard, [ Gid not know it had been discharged until I heard the reports: I did not know that Blake was hit at all. T ran out of the room over to Dr. Trearer's office acfoks the hallway. [ did Aot sce, Dr, Biake fall. No one else was iu the room thet'I know of except Dr, Blake and myself. Lillie Rock, our office girl . was In the room where Blake thréatened me first. I have never had any trouble or quarrel with Blake befors other than a word now and then. when I had told him to do certain work, He has worked for me apoat ten months. The trouble ‘occurred to-day 'in room 6. DECKER'S UNHEEDED ADVICE. Had Urged Stoll -t_o—nemova Revolver From Office. Dr. Decker was out at luncheon at the time of the shooting. On his return he ‘was deeply concerned when he learned of the occurrence. . “This,” sald Dr. Decker, "is the first time in the twenfy-two years that I have been here that any trouble has come over my dffairs. "I have never before known anything to happen to disturb the peacc- ful ‘life of my establishment. I cannot account for it, and having been out when iL occurred have nothing to say about eithér Dr. Blake or Dr. Stoll. I am not aware that there had been. any dispute between them. I have never carried -a revolver in all the vears that I have been in the city, and T once told Dr. Stoll that there was no occaslon for his having a revolver in his drawer, and I repeatedly urged him to remove it."” Up to a late hour this morning Dr. Blake's condition had not changed. He had not lost consciousness at any time. His physiclans say he has scarecly ' a chance to recover. The wound through D e e e e B B Y - ) THREE.

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 16.—Dr. B. F. Stoll was for many years and up to quite tecently a practicing dentist in Sacra- mento. He was prominent in fraternal circles and has a wide acquaintance here. ADGUt ten years ago he married Miss Mamie Logan, e ibald Logan, a pioneer citizen. Dr. Stoll was quiet and unassuming and successful I in his profession. His. intimates, howav- er, regarded him as a man of high tem= per and as one who would permit nothin, to stand in the way of the aceomplish- mert of any end which he had satisfled himself was right. Stoll was always regarded as a devoted husband and a good citizen, and his as- Sociates in the profession of dentistry Lere are apparently among the most sin- cere ir their expressions of regret and * sympathy for the position in which he s piaced by to-day’s tragedy.
