"I felt it was my duty. Is one
usually sorry for ciotn& his duty?"
: This was the reply of frail Mrs.
Mike Tierney,! mother of seven,
from her cell in the county jail yes
terday afternoon, when aked if she
was sorry she-had shot Ray Dun-
lap, 27, rifty-third and Y streets,
South Side.
"So .1 have already been told,"
g .she observed, quietly, when in-
I'irmed that -young Dunlap had died
nom the wound inflected by her 32
I caliber revolver yesteVtay noon
Diuilap was shot twice in the
head by Mrs. Tierney as he stood
on the doorstep of her little home
at Fifty-third and W streets.
He 'had eloped with Mrsf Ticr
ney's 16-ycar-ald daughter, Ethel,
Mrs. Tierney told; South Side po
lice. , .
Neighbors said the shooting was
j' the outcome ofa long-statiding.fe-ud
f between the Tierney and, the Dun
lap family. Older members of the
two families had not spoken for
years, v neighbors said. .
. Died Without Statement.
Young Dunlap died without mak
ing .a statement in the ,Squth Side
hospital at 3 p. m. yesterday. Coun
ty jail officers say a marriage li
cense was found in his ' pocket.
Behind the bars of her cell Mrs.
Tierney, who is about 45 years old,
calmly discussed the affairs of her
little family, her hopes for their fu
ture and the difficulties which beset
her in her care for them.
But she refused to discuss the
cause which led her to fire the fatal
shots. . '
"Ethel was young in experience
for her age," said Mrs. Tierney. "I
accompanied her almost everywhere
she went Last Saturday was the
first time she had been , with Roy
Dunlap, as far as I know. It was on
that dy she disappeared.
"I know it was his influence that
led her to leave. She was a good
girl. If she hadn't been so young, if
she had been old enough to know,
I-I w-wouldn't,have cared so much."
Would Not Discuss Shooting.
For the first time the little wom
an' "voice trembled with emotion.
Her " frail figure shook with sup
pressed sobs for a moment and then
she was calm.
"I don't care to discuss why I shot
him,,exccpt to say I felt it was my
duty. My Busband is. living, but
where lie is I don't know. I, had my
family to look after. I think I was
justified. I-I hate to think of them
there at home without me. B-but it
had to be, I suppose.
' "Did Dunlap strike you? , Did he
admit mistreating your, daughter?
Did he come to you for forgive
ness?" . . .
These and similar questions Mrs.
Tierney refused to answer.
"I know he knew where Ethel
was," she volunteered. "And he
wouldn't tell me. All I can lay urtij
the triat is that I had good reason
for shooting him."
Mrs. Tierney expressed confidence
her little family would be cared for.
She said she had great confidence in
her daughter, Margaret, 22.,
Taken From Children.
The arrest and removal of Mrs.
Tierney by officers was filled with
pathos. The little mother begged to
be allowed to remain until her two
youngest children, Clara. 11, and
George, 9, had departed for school.
The two children clung to her, cry
ing bitterly, until she was taken
'Awayt. V
"Mother will be .alright and Come
home soon," she reassured them, as
she departed for the jail.
4 The gray-haired parents of Dun
lap were the first to reach the-scene
after the shooting. I he aged mother
became hystericaly and the father
moaned repeatedly: I told Koy not
to enter the Tierney house. I w'arned
him he'd be killed if he did."
, They accompanied their dying
to the South Side hospital, after the
police surgeon, in the absence of a
minister, baptised the young man, at
the request of his parents. Young
Dunlap jvas unconscious during tlie
baptisimal ceremonies. ,
v License Refused Here.
Ethel and Dunlap liad applied for
a marriage license here, but had been
refused, The clerk said Mrs. Tierney
had told him Ethel was not of age.
The marriage license found in
Dunlap's pocket showed they had
been married, according to police.

" This was revealed yesterday by
Befty Martin of the chorus and the
screen when slye arrived inx Chicago

to say to Aaronson. She said it.
In her chum's last letter was writ

"Irving tceatcd -,mc rotten today
and my heart, is broken. He's been
rotten to me ever since he's been
mixed tip with Hilderbrand. I really
think he hates me."
Hilderbrand is another girl of the

Miss Martin said Miss Daly was
convinced that Olive Thomas had
killed hcrsclfsand that it seemed to
point the way. to the final tragedy
in her life. - i ; v '
Aaronson sat-in -his pajamas, at

nied that his love caused the little
I "Follies" girl to kill herself. -
f "I met her three years ago at
Atlantic City he said. I was play
ing thercanfl she was on her vaca
tion. We became very good friends.
She was a model then. She wrote
letters when we were not in the
same city. Lately I noticed that
they had become despondent. Her
mother had been ill. JXhink that
is why she was sad.
"The when Olive Thpmas killed
herself 1 she became more despond
ent. Olive was an" old friend of
hers. Last Thursday we were
walking on Broadway. She was
blue. Suddenly she said she wouldn't
walk with me. I made her come
along anyway. I tried to cheer her
up. She mentioned Olive then."
"She loved Aaronson," said Betty
Martin. "I Had to watch her day
and night -because she was despond
ent and I feared she would kill her
self." Cuban Sugar Planter

Mont Ter.nes of Chicago had lost
large, sums bet on last year's world
series was understood today to be
under consideration by the Cook
county grand jury, which next Tues
day will resume hearing testimony
on charges that the series was "fixed"
for Cincinnati to win. Published re
ports place Cohan's losses at $30,000
and Tennes at $80,000.
The inquiry in,to -the "fixing"
charges will be pushed to the limit,
according to a statement made by
Henry H. Brigham, foreman of the
grand juty, who declared that he was
"shocked at the rottenness so far re
vealed." He added that "Chicago,
New York, Cincinnati and St. Louis
gamblers are bleeding base ball and
corrupting players." . ,
Hoyne Says Series Crooked.
State's AttornelHoyne, according

Jacob C. "Rube" Benton. New
York Giants' pitcher, who told the
grand 'fury yesterday of being of
fered a bribe to lose a game, naming
"Buck" Herzog, Hal Chase and
"Hcinic" Zimmerman in connection
with the alleged offer in a statement
published today, named four -White
Sox players as having been named
to him. by an alleged member of a
,base ball gambling ring in discussion
of alleged fixing ot the IVw ser
ttrSTi These' players, Benton declared,
were Eddie Ctcotte. pitcher of the
first games-Claude Williams, pitcher
in the -second, Chick Gandil, first
baseman, and "Hap" Fclsch, center
fielder. According to- Benton's state
ment the players were mentioned by
a Cincinnati 'betting commissioner"
named Hahn. Benton said that five
White Sox players demanded $100,
000 for "throwing" the series, and
I hat this was paid to them by a
roup of Pittsburgh gamblers.
Benton in on Game
Benton, in his story of the alleg
ed "fixing" of the world series last
fall, said:
"Last fall,, after the series, a man
Uiamed Hahn, who hails from Cin
cinnati, visited me at my home in
Clinton, N. C. I asked him about
the world's scries. He said the series
Was not on the square.
"He said that the (leal to fix play
ers to throw the series to Cmcmitat
had been engineered by a syndicate
of gamblers from Pittsburgh for
whom he worked in Cincinnati as
betting commissioner
"He said certain players on the
White Sox team had visited Pitts
burgh before the series was played
and made arrangements to throw the
-games for a price. He said that the
players demanded $100,000 to 'lav
down'' so the Sox would lose, and
this was paid them.
Discussed Five Players.
"We discussed various players on
the team. Buck Weaver's name was
not mentioned, nor were tlje names
of Jackson, Eddie Collins, John Col
lins or Ray Schalk. Five players
were mentioned by Hahn in the
course of the conversation. Four
are: Eddie Cicotte, pitcher of the
first gameiof the series; Claude Wil
liams, who pitched the second game;
Chick pandil, first baseman, and Hap
Felsch, center fielder: Comiskey held
up their checks calling for the play
ers' share of the world series money
for some time. I do not recall the
name of the fifth man.
"They tell me around New York
that Hal Chase won $40,000 on 'the
series. He must have won a lot be
cause he had plenty of money after
the series ended."
Benton said he made a few small
bets, but that his winnings were only
$10 to $20 a day. '
v Probe Johnson Story
The grand jury today was pre
pared to investigate a statement
printed by several newspapers quot
ing Ban Johnson, president ot the
American league, as saying the
White Sox would not dare win this
year's pennant from Cleveland, ac
cording to reports reaching him, be
cause the gambling syndicate threat
ened to expose players involved in
the base ball scandal.
"Unquestionably there was a. lot
of money bet on the Cincinnati-Sox
games last year," the statement at
tributed to Mr. Johnson said. "A
New York man said he won $170,000
in two bets, taking $100,000 from
a stock exchange man and $70,000
