conversation on the streets yosterdav. The
widoactiuulnlanco of the unforluimto man
nnd llio universal ixMpoct In which ho was
hold caused a great Interest to bo taken In
the case , and the < fiostlon , "How's .lonesl"
could bo heard on all stilus.
A council of physicians was hold nt noon ,
nut It wa > not thought best that any olllcial
statement of his c-omlltlon should bo mvlj at

later In the day.
At'IilTi o'ciock yostordav morning , before

and the ijueMlons aim answers were taken

o.vnc v as thov were spoken. Tlio following
is the conversation , which furnishes as much
information as it will probably over bo posal-
blo to get from Mr. Jones :
"Mud you been Into Slolla'al"
" \ es. 1 came out to got into Iho uack
when they robbed me. "
"Did they got your monoyi"
"Yes , and they cot mv watch. "
"Why , your watch is here ; they didn't ' got

"Well , throe of them got bold of It. "

three men were stunning by tbo hack. I
don't think Jlmmm had iinyfhing to do with

came out of the door , out there on the walk.
The hack dilver ho wanted mo to give him
or $10 for thu line * . I said no , nnd I was
going to give him $1. I just reached my
hand lu my pocket for SI when the mail
with a wnilo ! ut on struck mo nnd knocked
mo down. Thou the other follow shot mo ns
1 lay on the walk , when 1 was down. There
was a biir follow with u black hut ou ; ho
shot me. "
"Did you shoot at him thenl"
"No. Alter they knocked mo down and
shot mo I uldn't kiio-.v anything. I was
prettv nearly puralj/ed. I didn't shoot at
nil. 1 didn't have any chance to got mv
gun. "
"U'lmt was Jimmio Mnhcr doinc whnn ho
was leaning over you up thcro on Park

" 1 don't Unow. Jimmy might have taken
my ijun out of my pocket , I guess. I
remember when I was picked up soinobody
took my gun out of my pocket. 1 got up
uftcr 1 was shot mid walked a block to got

thing , dead sure , 1 didn't lire n shot out of

got hold of it at all. 1 always carry it in
my right hip pocket. "
"How long have you boon drinking ,

"Two or three days. If anybody got killed
up there I wasn't next. Tho'lim tulnir that
happened , almost , somebody knocked mo
down with a club or something. 1 was par

Popular indignation reached a great
height when tlio shooling was heard of , and
threats nf lynching were freely made. The
marshal and police grew rather nervous ut
thu llery language used by the clti/.cns
toward Maher and the rest ot tbo gang that
was thouunt to be implicated in the shooting
wttli him , nnd during the day , in order to
prevent any harm from coming to him ,
Maher was moved to a cell in the county
jail uud the htiunfl wns given instructions to
see that he was given the safest cell iu the
building.
Mulier was confined in the steel cylinder on
thu second lloor ot the county Jail when ho
was culled upon oy a Hiu reporter. When
the cylinder was rolled around so that ho
could .step out into iho coi ndor of the Jnil ho
was nt once seen to uo in a nervous condi
tion that uus quite unusual for the dare
devil Jimmio. During his entire conversa
tion with the newspaper man , which lasted
about a itiurtor ) of nn hour , ho trembled like
n leaf und could hardly contiol lilmsulf sutll-
ciently to talk intelligibly.
.Mulu'r'o Miiti'lncnt.
"Jones wns a friend of mine , nnd n gentleman -
man , " wus his remark when ho was told mat
some people believed bun guilty of the shool
ing of W. M. Jones. " 1 presume ho has
given mo f..l during llio past winter , ono or
two dollars nt a time. Ho and I were together
gethor at Stella Long's place , on Upper.
Hroadwny , and wo thought wo would take n
couple ot the girls out to the road
house fof a general good tinu. So wo
called up Welch's olllco nnd ordered
aback. The hack was brought up bv Tom
Cnllagbnn , nnd he and Wade wanted Jones
10 pay Jlu for the use of tno hack on the
trip. Jones wouldn't pay that much , and
Wade , wtio took the hack from Callughan.
wouldn't lot H go for less. Jones told him
we wouldn't tuko it then. Wade then tried
to gel fl out of him for the trouble of hitch
ing up , but Jonas refused to pay that either.
Wade told him that he'd take ) it out 01 his
hide , then. 'No , you won't take anything
oat of my hide'Kind Jones , and ho pus hail
Wade away. Wudo then pulled his gun and
liroJ al Junes and Jones returned thu lire.
1 don'l know whether It was Wudo's nrst
shot , that did the job or not. "
This atory wns gotten out of Maher by
means of close nuostioning , us ho was iif-
duced to talk at all with considerable ditll-
uulty. Callughitn. the hack driver , gave him
self UP to the police Immediately after llio
snooting. When thu trouble occurred ho
was going lo tuko part In it , but Maher , ho
says , lilt him across ino ho.ul wilh a cane ho
bad in his ha.id und Informed him he wasn't
In it. Hu immediately struck out up Hroad-
t\.iy and First street lo the residence of

Ho says ihitt JOIICH begun drinking In

When asksd what mnn she rotorrod to , slio
named Mike Kildaro , nnd told the story
printed In 'I un HKR yesterday morning.
Mrs. Jones Is a woman of ubout .15 years of
age , of French origin and has been living

O. H. Lucas. Officer Murnhv was tno first

the shots about l'Jl. : > nnd the subsequent dis
covery of the body \Vadoand the wounded
man. He said ho recognized Jones ns soon
ns ho saw him as a gcntlomau whom
ho had seen In company with Jimmy
Maher several limes during the availing in
various xaloons on U roadway , including tlio
Oporu House saloon nnd tbo Court , the dlvo
run by Frank Carroll , nnd saw thorn last
about II o'clock golnfi up Broadway In the
vicinity of thu Pierce -"treat bouses if prosti
"
tution. Ilo saw Vyade. the slain" hack
driver , several times ' , during the evening ,
sometimes on a hack , driving , and the last
time on the sidewalk on Broadway near
Park avenue , half a block from where the
tragodv took placo.
Ofllcar Kemp Instilled that ho heard shots
about 1'J : I" ) when two blocks uwny from the
scano nnd was tlio. first man on the ground
where Wade was lyljig. Tno man was in the
last tremor and expired while thoofllcor
knell down bosldo him. Thu revolver was
still clutched in his half opened hand.

Ofllcor II. Peterson lostifled that ho had
seen Mahpr and Al Noack in Noumayer'a
hotel after the shootinj and nrro'tod Maher ,
but uid not arrest Noack. us Chief Scanlan
had not told him ho was wanted.
Stelln Long Instilled , that Maher nnd Jones
came to her place at TIO ! p. m. and stayed
until after midnight. She ' rang up a hack
for tho.two men nt thbl req'uost shortly before
fore midnight , und i\s soon us the carriaco
came the two men loft. She saw no trouble
between thorn and didn't see Maher have a
gun or sling shot. When the Lack caino she
hoard no dispute over the question of the
payment of hack faro. The men drank dur
ing Iho evening , but were not drunlt. When
she heard the shooting she forbade the girls
going out.
Eduu Stewart , ono of tno inmates of the
i-ong place , said that during the evening the
two men seemed decidedly friendly. She
saw Jones count out three or four bills on
his knee , and when Maher asked him what
ho was doing It for , ho ranlied that he was
sooiiig how much ha had to spend. She
lie.ird them talking with Wade about the
price of a hack drlvo lo Iho road house , but
heard the huckmnn tav nothing about bclnt :
paid for the trouble of bringing out the
back. She searched Maher's pockets for
cigarettes , and was certain ho hail no gun
in his poci < cts unless in Ills uisHc or ono
outside pocket. After the men had left she
board some ono sav : "Lot her go. lot
her go' , " and between the exclamations
three shots were lireil iu rapid succession.
After that she saw two men run through the
yard. Ono of them , who wus Jones , fell
over n fallen tree , nnd his companion , Maher ,
helped him along.
Mluitio Uay , another inmate , heard Jones
say ho thoughl ho ought to pay the buck
driver something for nil trouble after he had
decided not touso the Hack , but Mnher told
him not to pay anything. There wns noth
ing said in the house on iho subject while
the hack driver was present. There wns
not nn angry word spoken. She also heard
the exclamations , "Let nor go , " that the
preceding witness told of , and thought it
was Maher's volcn that made thorn.

Jack Wade , the follow whoso heart was
pierced , was u Texas cowboy who came
hero about six weeks ago und took
a position ns hnclcman for tVolch.
Ltttlo seems to hnvo been linown about him
only that ho had the reputation ol being n
tough customer and nangor on nt the Pierce
street house of prostitution where ho was so
well known that tliu tlrst Idontilicatiun of
the nody as it lay stretched out on tno pave
ment alter it had iioon viewed by scores of
mini was by u counlo of proiiuilos of Miss
Long's establishment. They instantly rec
ognized the features of the dead man al
though the light from tnu .Methodist church
olcctric light tower did not shine full upon
his face. When questioned they suiu ho had
not boon on the row during tliu night. The
face of the man was certainly villainous
enough to hour the assertion made that ho
was n tough , although there uro others who
claim to know him well who assert that ho
was neither n tough uor a Texan , but has
lived for the past two and n half years at

It Is stated by Uio passoacors that ill the

which ensued miulo moro ulnlcult the tnslt of
attending to the wounded nnd of rosoulnp
the occupants of the sleeper from their peril

water was not snlllciont to completely sub-
morco it , ami with such nssUtanco as the

taken out through tliu windows.
The Santa Fo olllolaU claim , however ,
that the train was not running nt an exces
sively nign rate of speed , and that the in
direct cause ot the mishap was n atiiirp curve
which rendered it Impossible to see thu ob-
slrucllon till too late to bring the train to a

\VA .IIINOTOX , D. U , , May IW , 'Secretary
Foster today expressed himself as follows re
garding the political situation nnd the attitude -
tudo of the president on the silver question :
"Tho urobont movement favoring Dlaino
for the republican nomination for president
has its inception mainly with the pcoplo
whom the president has disappointed. I do
not underrate Mr. Ilamo's popularity with
the masses. lieeause the opponents of the
president are unable to uiiito upon a candi
date they take advantage of Mr Ulaina's
popularity and underlako to force him to IK-
nero his - > olomn inscrvntion that hU nauio
will not go bcloro the convention.
U'onlcl .M.iIlK Itlllllll- \V < MU ( Ullilllllltc.
"I do not believe that Mr. Ulalno has
given oncourauoinont to this protiosed me of
hib name. To nominale Mr. UUlno uow is
to run the risk ot his declination , wlncu , if It
co'iies ' , utterly ruins all hope ot iinrty HUC--
eoss. it seems to mo that an acceptance by
him utter the struggle that will have to uo
made to obtain the nomination surely
imilio him a weak candidate.
"The time Imsi been when Mr. Ulnlno could
have had tno nomination w.lli sub tnnllal
unanimity. The president has not been si >
uosirous for the nomination ns most peopiu
think. Ho has permuted bis name lo bo
used , because , since M'Hl'unoV declina
tion , it suemed to htm that ho was largely
the choice of his party friends the only con-
dilion that induced Him to consent , l un any
sunn man now doubt for n moment that ha
can refuse further consent to the use ol his
name ! 1 believe ho has a majority of tbo
convention , and I hope , notwithstanding all
the noisy demonstration n atnst him. to seu
him nominated by acclamallon.
Only Argument ut tint I'rrsIdmitN KniMulri.
"Tlin only argument used against the
president Is that ho cannot be elcUuit , yet ail
ndinit that bis administration ln\s ueen a
complclo success. Ho lui's biiccccuod In
securing the contidcnco of his country men of
nil shades of opinion to n greater extent
during his administration than nine tennis of
tliu presidents before him. Kvory Inlerost ,
brlh M'out and small , feels pcrfoclly safe in
his hands , The puolic Unow that he Is honest -
est and possesses ability of a very hlch order.
