2 SGO0 REWARD FOR NAME OF SHOOTER Maro Klaw Offers That Amount to Learn Who Fired Shot from a Box at the American, Theatre. i 2239OOS4: CLAIMS IT WAS NOT. ‘PRESS AGENT’S AFFAIR, Manager Declares Genuine At tempt at Assassination Was! Made and Criticises the Police, for Their Inaction. After an investigation to-day of the shooting incident in the American The- atre last Monday night, when a man in ‘& lower box fired a shot at an actor of the “Out of the Fold" company, Maro Klew, of Klaw & Erlanger, managers of the house, authorized The Evening World to make this statement: “1 will pay $500 reward to the person who will give me the name of the man who fired that shot. It is worth that much to me to find out who this mis- creant is and to see that he is punished for his dastardly act. Nothing in the way of pnnishment is too severe for a scoundrel who would endanger the lives of hundreds of people in this way. Ita panic had ensued there is no telling how great a loss of life there would Have been. “The police have not treated this thing with the seriousness to which it is entitled. They have said it was the work of & presa agent. My investiga tion satisfles me that tt was not the work of a press agent, and that the at- taches of the house had no previous Knowledge that any such act was in contemplation. I will ask Commissioner McAdoo to-day to instruct the police to treat thé matter more seriously and do what they can to run the man down. “I talked to-day with Mr. Crescy, the manager of the company; with-Mr. ‘Weis, the treasurer of the house; with| all the ushers and with all the at- taches of the theatre, and each and every man told me @ straightforward story. They all say that the thing! was @ genuine attempt at an assassin- ation, Mr. Crescy told me that he had & man in the next box to where the| strange’ man sat, an efst-side manager who was looking at the play with a view to buying the rights of produc- tion for the Bowery, He sald it was not lkely that at such a time he would permit any such performance as that which occurred. Mr. Wels told me that the man who fired the shot bought and vald for all five seats in the box, No \yresa agent would be apt to do that. “These things all convince me that this was not a hoax, but a genuine case. It was a dastardly piece of work and I mean to get to the bottom of it, 210 matter what the cost. I am going to} Hartford to-day on business, but will be back to-morrow and will make an- other investigation, I shall examine every member of the company and if} the police will do thelr share I think we will land this man, Until he is found and proved to be other than a press agent T and my house rest under Seueplelon abe GIRLS’ WARBLECOST CHAUFFEUR $10 Lost Gena) of Aute While Pilot- ing Two Merry Actresses and wi & $9996E 390-90 2249000808. i i 3 : $ > a Qn Ma fiona er ‘ B soméersay ts x twist sand landing ' on the shoulders ef king.
