JOHN DOE HEARING District-Attorney Investigating Story Told by Witness Held from the Police. John Doe proceedings are under way | In the District-Attomey's office to get | at the Inside of a plot to assassinate Dr, Parkhurst, the pastor of the Mad- json Square Presbyterian Church and President of the Society for the Pre- vention of Crime, more commonly known as the Parkhurst Society. The | man who was solected to put Dr. Park- | hurst out of the way. has made a con- feesion, in which, it is reported, he says that le was omployed by a city ometal The investigation has been under way for two or three weeks. The plot is safd to extend back to the time four years ago when the Parkhurst Society raided Laura Marat's place in West ‘Thirty- third street over the heads of the Ten- derloin police. ‘This raid resulted in trouble for a dot of policemen, as well as the death of Jeremiah McAuliffe, who, was affirmed by various wit- nesses, was beaten to death In the West the step of aypassing car struck him in} be Ro tts home ay Forty-seventh street —_station-house | while under arrest for intoxication. | Police officials who have at various } times been exposed or prosecuted hy the Parklurst Soctety are reported to be jbehind the alleged plot, It has many |vamittcations, There has not been an jopen attempt to kill Dr. Parkhurst, but his friends admit that he has long known of a plan to do away with him, Frank Moss, counsel for «he Parkhurst Society. who has had several conte ences with the District-Attorney latel said to an Evening World reporter to- day: “No actual attempt was made upon | the life of Dr. Parkhurst, I am afrald that publication of che matter at this time would spoll everything.” Assistant District-Attorney Hart Is In charge of the Investigation, but his ps are sealed. A John Doe proceeit- ing was held yesterday in the District- Attomey's office, with Mr. Hart in charge, The man who was to have killed Dr. Parkhurst was present and repeated his confession. Another sion of the John Doe hearing ts sched- uled (o take place to-morrow afternoon, Society Learned of It. From the best information obtainable it ts gathered that Dr, Parkhurst him- self, or some member of the reform organization of which he is the head, picked up the first information of the plot. Whether it was discovered by accident or the man who had agreed to | become an assassin became conscience- stricken and sent a message of warning to the minister cannot be ascertained. There is one certainty; when Dr. Parkhurst was Informed of the plot he did not make a complaint to any police officer or official of the Police Department. Personally or through a trusted representative he laid the facte as they had been presented to him before the District-Attorney, A hurried underground investigation wae immediately set on foot and the man who was to have put Dr, Parkhurst out of the way was taken Into custody, His confession followed, Dr, Parkhurst showed traces of agi- tation when an Evening World reporter called upon him at his home to-day to question him about the alleged plot. He was asked to tell how he came into possession of the facts in the plan to kill him, and repiled: “1 am not in position to say anything about it at this time. if 1 got talking 1 might say too much,” Will Not Talk, “Haye you veen in oonsultation with the District-Attorney about the re- portea attempt lo ussassinate you?" ne Was asked, i ‘Nhe ingenuity of the reporter in fer: | reting out things is amazing,’ replied | the minister; “but & Js Jmperative tat J should not’ say a word upon the sui- ject You mention.” Probably some significance ataches to the fact that the Voiloe Depuctincns has not been consuiced with’ relation fo the assassination plot. ‘The who bas confessed that he was to | committed the crime was not pl ERS ON EDGE AS HOUR | NEARS FOR THE BIG BATTLE TERRY STARTING FOR THE FIGHT.
