Her friends say a man who watched her at the window fired the shot. The police declare the shot was fired by a man in the act- ress’ room. Others assert Miss Riccardo attempted suicide.

She was alone in the front room of her apartment on the ground floor. I was in the rear room and as it was fast wetting dark I called to our maid to put a light in the front room. Just as she lighted the gas Miss Riccardo rose from her couch. She had hardly gained her feet when a shot rang out and Miss Riccardo sank to the floor with a bullet in her side. I am certain that @ man was walting at the window to shoot my friend. He waited until the flare of the gas revealed her and then fired, “Paere was no sound of a scuffle of any Kind in the street. The maid told me afterward that as she lighted the match and raised it to the gas Jet she saw the figure of a man move before the window, ‘There followed instantaneously the dash of the exploding pistol.” Miss Lee was asked if the young actress had a sweetheart. She refused to answer this question, but replied: “Corona makes a great many friends.” ‘There is another story of the shooting that has come from scraps of informa- tion from the boarders in the Forty- third street house. This story is that Miss Riccardo was shot after a quarre! with a man who was in the room with her, and that before Miss Lee or the maid could get to her the man made his escape. Several of the boarders heard the shrill contralto tones of a woman mingled with the deep, bass notes of a man's voice shortly before the shooting. Tho voices were heard for but a few minutes, when the report of the pistol rang out, fol- lowed by the sound of hurrying feet. Capt.

He {s also under indictment for per- jury at the trial on the charge of ex- tortion made by Josephus Plenty. In the Plenty case he was convicted and sent to Sing Sing, but released to awalt the result of his appeal to the highest coun: in the State. As Parks walked into court to-day and took his seat alongside of his counsg), there was pothing of the bull- dozer about him. He looked like a whipped man. His last friend had gone back on him—William 8. Devery. Parks had to stop in the Tombs, be- cause Devery's friends, who were on his bonds, refused to renew the obil- gation. Why Devery Deserted Him. Devery, in explaining why he had deserted Parks the other day when he had to plead to a charge of perjury, sald: “I'm through with a man who tries to give me the double cross. Sam Parks can't work me and flirt with Murphy and other Tammany leaders and have me for his friend.” Parks, the walking delegate, was and is to-day the ruling spirit of the House- smiths and Bridgemen’s Union No. 2. According to District-Attorney Jero! he held builders up on every possible occasion, and even went so far as to extract $50,000 from W. BE. D. Stokes to settle strikes. ‘This infomation was given to the Dis- trict-Attorney by Henry Farley, another walking delegate, who confessed that he had committed perjury at the last Parks trial in trying to prove an alibi for the accused. The opening of the case was delayed more than an hour because of the great number of taiésmen called on the special panel. Parks was dressed in a mixed gray suit of expensive make. His hair hasn't grown much since it was shorn by the Sing Sing barber, when he hed to wear convict stripes until liberated by a cer- tificate of reasonable doubt on $18,000 hail pending a disposition of his case before the Court of Appeals. The walking delegate dropped into a seat alongside of his counsel, James W. Osborne, the ex-Assistant District-A torney who twice tried Roland B. Molineux. He scemed cheerful. After whispering to Mr. Osborne about’ the absence of Bartow 8. Weeks, Parks turned to the reporters and said: “Get Sam Parks's picture in paper.” It was said with the same conceit that has characterized his remarks ev: since he has been in trouble. ie Riermrgy cela District-Attorn Rand told Pf 3 Nowburger that the in People were ly to go on with the P led fo: ee Mr. Osborne asked that the case over because of the extreme nervous- ness of (ne defendant and the fact that he had affidavits from eminent phys! clans that he has chronic tuberculos! and cannot ve more two, In an affidavit Mr. Osborne himself signed It was set forth that he had been unable to Ret A detatied Statement ne the from Parks delogato's. nervousness, tha in his office the pris er could ‘only talk a few minutes without belng com- pelled to leave the room becatise, of coughing. win Qaeorme, cond the wits 0} trea Avera, of No Re We Mane: | algora OM yours old, and) Mrs. O00S GHANGE 10 FVEN MONEY lL ry Betting on Low Falls Away and Turn in Favor. of McClellan Is Noted During a Busy Da of Wagering in the Vicinity of the Stock Exchange This Afternoon. wy WALL STREET AT TIMES LOOKS : LIKE A BOOKMAKERS’ RING Long List of Bets Recorded To-Day Sho How Opinions Differ—Range Goes fre 10 to 9 on Low to Even Money a the Democratic Candidate. : ‘There was a sharp turn in the election result betting in Wall street this afternoon, the odds veering around in favor of George B.
