KILLALEE VERDICT IS SUSC8DE BY HIS BROTHER IS MAKING AN Members of the Family Incline to the Theory of Foul Play. IDOLIZED BY SWEETHEART. His Last Letter, to Her Sis ter, indicated His Intention. 1. J. Killalee of No. 222: South Eighteenth street, brother of Chaile.- S. Killalee, who , committed suicide Wednesday near Sedalia, i cached Sedalia yesterday afternoon. He aimed too late to attend the inquest, which was held in the morning, a verdict of suicide by poi4in being re tumid. Fioni the tenor of a special dispatch re ceived by The Republic from Sedalia l.ui nicht it would appear that Killalee is not willing to .nceepf the theory of suicide, and has asked the police to as-ist in making a thorough in estimation of the casv. The telegram says: "Coroner MeClunoy held an inquct tills morning into the death of Chailcs S. Killa- j !co. and the Jury returned a verdict of sui- cide by strychnine and other poisonous sub stances. ' "Kill.ilee arrived in Sedalia at 3.10 l.T-t Friday morning and secured a room at the Salvation Army Hotel, opposite the City Hall. He made few friends while here, and seemed to be in poor health and despondent. He said he was looking for employment. Yesterday morning he purchased a solution containing one grain of strychnine from Lee Meyer, a clerk in Merts: & Hale's drug store, telling the clerk that in former years he had been a hard drinker and had con tracted n stomach trouble, hicli only j strychnine, would relieve. The day before he had purchased arsenic In pills of one twentieth of a grain eacli from another clerk, and in another drug store bought a box of morphine tablets. "While beinir brought back to Sedalia from Flat Creek he told Fireman Alcorn, one of the men who saved him from drowning in the creek, that he first drank all of the solution of strychnine, and, as it did not seem to tako effect, he also took the arsenic and morphine. Killalee was conscious up to the moment of his death. The exact words used by him in ascribing a cause for attempting suicide were in an swer to a ouestion by Fireman Alcorn: T am out of employment, out of money, and j my sweetheart has given mc the cold shoulder. I do not care to live any longer.' " "Sho was a good girl,' ho frequently re- j peated, and, opening a gold locket w hich he I wore as a charm on his watch chain, he , showed the picture of his sweetheart to Frank Schultz and Fireman Alcorn. Ho died while gazing upon the miniature. Hit I.unt Letter. "The last letter Killalee wrote was not addressed, but was probably intended for Mrs. George F. Eaton, a sister of Miss Connelly, Killalee's atllanced. It was writ ten in indelible pencil and is a beautiful specimen of handwriting. Its contents fol low: " 'Hattie: I have followed my plans. I could not live and be happy, although I blame no one but myself. The time will come when she shall know I am innocent, and may God bless her is my sincere wish. Be sure and give everybody my regards. I remain your friend, " 'CHARLIE KILLALEE.' "Underneath was written: 'Telegraph F. J. Killalee, care Boehmer Coal Company, St. Louis.' "On the reverse side was written as a postscript: 'Forever I remain true, and whoever told anything has told her a lie, and some day it shall all be found out. 1 am innocent, and God knows it. So good by.' "On a card of Phil H. Sheridan, attorney-at-law, suite No. 32 Laclede building, found in Killalee's pocket, was written: "Tele graph F. J. Killalee, St. Louis,' and a memorandum of a deposit of 3,135, or ?C.S5. in the Boatmen's Bank. St. Louis. "From the evidence brought out at the Coroner's Inquest, It was the opinion of the jurors that Killalee was temporarily in sane at the time he committed suicide. He had carefully prepared for his death. He had arranged his scapular, a tiny cross and a photograph of a sister of charity In a package which he placed in an inside pock el of his coat. On the bottom of the pho tograph was printed with a pen, 'My Star.' Only jl.20 was found in his pockets, to gether with a "flash roll," made up of lot tery tickets. To-day the Coroner searched Killalee's trunk at the Salvation Army Hotel and failed to find any money. "F. J. Killalee, brother of the suicide, arrived here this afternoon and was closeted with Chief of Police Love. "It is known that Charles Killalee left St. Louis in company of two of his chumn, Frank Shultz, an Olive street drug clerk, and a man by the name of Murray, a former employe of the St. Louis Transit Company, and that the trio arrived here. Said He AVas Golntr to Denver. "When they left St, Louis they told their friends their destination was Denver, Cole. Charles Killalee on Thursday afternoon called on his sister In East St. Louis to bid her good-by and gave her the photographs of hia chums, Shultz and Murray, request ing her to keep them for film until he re turned, or until he found a location. He told his sister that he was going to Denver with a party of friends, all of whom were out of work and expected to get employ ment there. "Killalee showed his slater letters of recomim ndation furnished him by the St. Louis Transit Company which he thought would secure him work on the Denver street railway. He would not go to rail roading again, he said, unless he had an exceptionally good offer, as It was his pur pose, if nothing else turned up, to engage 4n the grocery business in Denver. He told his sister that he had between $000 and JS00 to take with him and ho considered that amount sulliclcnt to start In business. His brother says the sister did not see the money, but is certain that he had It in his pockets. She had been his confidante and had never known him to lie. When the young, man died in Sedalia only a little more than tl was found on him. "Murray has not appeared, and Schultz, it Is said, took a train out of Sedalia last night. He had been subpoenaed to appear as a witness at the Coroner's inquest, but he did not show up and cann.it: be found. "The story that Killalee had been dis sipating has net been confirmed. No one can be found here who saw him take a drink of liquor. "The theory that ho was drugged and robbed has been advanced, but Ivillalee's statement to Fireman Alcorn that he had taken the poison himself with the intention of ending his life weakens it, "Killalee has decided to bury his brother in the Sedalia Catholic Cemetery, and the body will be placed in consecrated ground. Tho funeral will be held from St. Vincent de Paul's Roman Catholic Church at 'J o'clock to-morrow morning.aiid the services will be conducted by the Reverend Father Healcy. Later on It may bo decided to permanently inter the remains in the Fred erlcktown. Mo., Catholic Cemetery by the side of Killalee's father and mother." SM-eetlicart Greatly Grieved. Miss Julia Connelly, Killalee's afilanced, is almost prostrated with grief over his sudden and tragic death. She passed a sleepless night, and yesterday her tear stained face and nervous condition bore evidence to the mental anguish sho had suffered. She refused to credit the news that her sweetheart has passed from her life forever, and even when the informa tion gathred by The Republic correspond ent in Sedalia was read to her by sym pathetic friends she sought to rob the dreadful words of their sting by indulging the hope that, in the absence of fuller par ticulars, there was a possibility that tho wires had erred, and that the man she loved so dearly was still alive. When seen yesterday by a Republic re porter Miss Connelly was still tearful, and greatly agitated, but had apparently nerved herself to bear the shock of the worst. What distressed her most was the thought that her sweetheart, who was a Catholic, had taken his own life. The intimation conveyed in the dispatches that ho had been drinking heavily was an added pang, MIARLKS S. KILLALKE. tin Suicide. but worst blow of all was the report that he bellcvtd she had fcrs.ikon him. She wept C'lntinuallv as vhe spoke of him. "I will never believe," she said, "that ("hailcs ever said that he believed I had fiu.snkc-i: him. He could not have said or believed that, even in Ids wildest delirium. Why. lie idolized me. and I idolized him. There never was anything but complete trust and h.ipplnt s between us. and when we palled ;it Union Station Friday night our p.'riiiig was n affectionate and friendlv ns could be. Almost my la.st words to him were: 'Be a good boy. Charlie.' Then I wished him all manner of success and pros perity in his business future In Denver, and bade him good-by. He promised to write to me a- soon as he reached his destina tion. Saturday while I was at luncheon I received a telegram from him at Sedalia saying he had anived there safely and was feeling splendid. 1 expected he had gone on direct to Denver from there, and since Sun day I have been counting tho hours until 1 should receive a letter from him. Wednes day I was worried at not receiving one, as lie never failed before to write me two or three a week when awav from me. s 'Season to Kill Himself.

The Physician told him he tlmucht a ulass or two ot beer would stieitgthen him. and Charey, who was a Knight of Father Matthew received permission from his priest to indulge in b er lor twenty days. At the end of that time he had recovered, and although the prP s-t .suggested that he mint continue the indulgence for another week he refused, savin; he did not caio ii'i.ii .'!!lt. doos. not in-iicnto that ho would suddenly t.ike a notion to drink heavily th.- moment he left here, as has bten reported. "There is more behind the case than has been revealed m lar. I am certain. I do not want jo accuse any one. but I am posl t he Charley did not kill himself. Every thing is against uch a theory. He had no reason lo do so, and every reason to enjov life. He was a devout Catholic, and seldom missed mass. lie was on his wav to belu a business career in Denver, with every piospoct of success, and had promised to send for me when he had succeeded. It is true his health was not of the best while, here, but he was going to a place which held out every prosnect of restoring him. " hat. then, cou'd have rperatcd to caue. him to turn to suicide in the short Interval between Saturday and Wednesday? "I do not believe he took hig" own life, and nothing that occurs will make m" change my opinion. At present my brain Is too badly upet to allow me to give expres sion to any suspicions I mav have, I must wait until I hear something definite from his brother Fred, who went to Sedalia this morning." Sinter Thinks It AVas Foul Piny. Mrs. Martin Whalen of No. 713 North Seventh street. East St. LouU, a sister of the dead man, said: "Charley came over to see me Friday afternoon and" left after sup per. Ho paid he was going to Denver. Colo., In company with a man named Schultz, a c'.erk in an Olive street drug store, and another man, whose name I do not know. He had about SS'), and I made a purse for It and sewed it in the inside of his shirt. I am certain he did not commit suicide. He was always jolly and was more so than usual when he left mo Friday evening. He has always confided in me, and if ho had quarreled with his sweetheart 1 am sure he would have told me. "Ho told me that when lie got started In business in Denver ho was going to send for his sweetheart and these were almost tho last words he said to me. I am pos itive he was tnurdeted." Martin Whalen, brother-in-law of Killalco said: "Charley was too jolly a fellow and thought too much of this life to he .sus pected of suicide. He was In extremely good .spirits when he left here Friday, and was In high spirits over the prospect of going Into bu-jness in Denver. He said he In tended t.. stop over nt Sedalia a few days. Ho never tasted a drop of liquor. I saw Mi3 Connelly Saturday morning, and sho told me she wsi at the station when Charlev left Friday night, and that he was as jolly as ever." m RUSSELL SAGE'S KINDNESS. Gave an Outing to Two Thousand Children. REPUBLIC SPECIAL Poughkecpsle, N. Y., Aug. 1C Russell Sage owns one railroad which affords more happiness to the many, with less pecuniary results to the owner, than perhaps any other railroad on the globe. It is the Pough kcepsie and Eastern Railroad, which runs through thirty miles of Duchess County. It is said that the road fulls so far behind expenses from day to day that there Is only one day in the year upon which Mr. Sago will allow his agents to mention tho affair to him the day upon which tho road and all Its facilities aro given over to tho poor children of the city, that they may go on a picnic to Upton Lake Park on the lino of the road, twelve miles from this city. Two thousand children accepted the hos pitality of Mr. Sage to-day, and one of tho most interesting demonstrations seen hero in vcars was the result. The arrangements for the picnic were made by Charles H. Madison, superintend ent of the Rescue Mission here. He went about the city distributing tickets to the poor and telling them that they wero in vited to be the guests of his mission and of Rusell Sage for a day. free of charge. Nearly every livery team in town was out this morning and the 2,000 lots were bundled Into the vehicles'. On tho way to the train thev made the air ring with cheers for Russell Sage. It took the longest train ever seen on the road to convey the children to Fpton Lake. It was made up of ten cars, all of which were decked with American flags. Mr. Sage also owns the lake and park where the picnic was held. The boats, tho merry-go-round, the swings and tho shoot ing galleries were thrown open free to this chiliren by crder of Mr. Sage and the day was one of delight for the little ones.

James Finnessey of No. ."Cid Cozzens ave nue, who was arrested Tuesday In connec tion with the dynamiting of street cars and subsequently released, was rearrested at his heme yesterday by Sergeant Dowdall and Special Officer AVoodling on two war rants. Ono of the charges is conspiracy to blow up street car tracks and the other makes him jointly responsible with Bren nan. North way and Schwartz for dynamit ing the tracks on Maryland avenue near Taylor avenue on Saturday night. Finnessey was sweated last night by Chief Desmond, and It Is understood that impor tant information was obtained from him. John Hogan. an employe In the City Sew er Department, was arrested about tho same time at his home, No. SC09 Evans ave nue, on suspicion of having been impli cated in the attempt to blow up Mrs. Emlly Heisler's residence at No. 3750 Evans ave nue. Chief Desmond refused to give the names of the witnesses in either of the cases, say ing that he wanted to use them further In gathering information for arrests which are to follow. "We have witnesses," laid the Chief, "who overheard Hogan mako tho remark, 'We blew up Mrs. Helsler's house.' I don't care to have their names made public until we can use them further. AVe have not yet applied for a warrant against Hogan, but will do so to-morrow. "We have several new witnesses in the conspiracy case, which will surprise Fin nessey and a few of the others. AVe not only have witnesses to show that he was In the conspiracy to blow up the St. Louis Transit Company's tracks, but others who will testify that he went along with Bren nan, Schwartz and Northway. But I don't caro to discuss the case further until I get things In better shape. You may expect further arrests now at any time." Hogan became ill from the heat In the holdover last night and was removed to tho City Hospital, where ho is guarded by two policemen. In their signed confessions Brcnnan and Northway state that thev made the bomb In Brennan's house at No. 3723 Lucky street. where Schwartz, Finnessey and a man known only as "Dick" wcro also pres ent. After fixing the bomb they walked to Grand avenue and south to Easton avenue, where they waited in Dalton's saloon until Finnessey could go to John AVhalcn's sa loon, nt No. 3700 Easton avenue, to get a revolver. Finnessey, according to their statements, gave them the revolver and re mained In tho saloon while they went on. In their statements they say that this man "Dick" wanted some dynamite to do some work in the North End, and they gave him live sticks. He was present at tho talk about blowing up the Olive street car, but was not to take a hand In It. If he used the dynamite which was given to him that night It is not known. Chief Des mond has several men In search of this man "Dick." and it is expected that he will be apprehended at any time. James Schwartz, one or tho four men charged with tho Olive street dynamiting, and also with conspiracy, was admitted to bail in both cases yesterday.

Fitihting Lasted Three Hours Be fore Any Arrests Were -Made Fifty Persons Were Injured, Twu Seriously. New Vork. Aug. IC-Sucli a furious ebulli tion of iacf hatred as found vent in the rioting that occurred here last night, the outgrowth of tile murder a few days ago of Policeman Thorpe bj a n,;.-o named Ar thur Harris, has not been equaled in New York in many years. As a result of the disturbance, which raged from midnight until 3 o'clock and burst out in a flame of passion and violence at intervals until daybreak, there wero about fifty persons injured by pistol balls, razors or knives, rocks and clubs. Of thess one negro, Lloyd Lee, may not recover, and Policeman Kennedy is also scriouily in jured. Ice is alleged to have made threats against the lite of Kennedy because he was the particular friend and associate of Thorpe, the murdered officer. Thorpe was the third white man murderously assaulted in the vicinity by negroes. In less than an hour from tile time the trouble began last night the whole of the West Side from Twenty-eighth street to Long Acre Square, above Forty-second street. Including Eighth and Ninth avenues, was in an up ioar. Forty or more arrests wero made. r.ilict- AVith the AVUites. Tho charge is made that police reserves. iiumDe-ring oW. wero In the mob chasing the blacks. No arrests wero made until after three hours rioting. At 2 o'clock this morning the police had tho riot in hand, although there was a feeling that danger was far from past, and .t heavy police guard was mounted. Wher ever there were negroes collected together they were swearing vengeance. Fortunate ly, about 3 o'clock, there was a heavy down pour of rain, and it is the opinion of the police that this did more to dissipate tho mob and quiet the riot than a thousand men would have been able to do. A dispatch from AVashington to-day an nounced the arrest there of Arthur Harris, the alleged murderer of Policeman Thorpe. David II. Carr, a negro, charged with hav ing- had a hand in the stabbing of Police man Kennedy, was held without ball to await the result of Kennedy's injuries. Lee, the othor negro charged with stubbing Po liceman Kennedy, has not heen arraigned. T-no Seriously Injured. Notwithstanding the extent and excite ment of tho riot, but two persons, so far an known, were seriously injured. These wero Policeman Kennedy, stabbed in the left side, and Lee, the negro, with pistol shot wounds in his breast and a scalp wound. All tho prisoners Interested In the riot last night, except Lee, were arraigned in tho AVest Sido Court to-day. A majority were fined 510; a few were held in bonds to keep the peace, several were discharged and Carr was held to await the result of tho injuries of Olilcer Kennedy.

This trial is a preliminary hearing on a charge that defendants lived unlawfully together. Mrs. Ustick held frequent conferences with her attorney and Mr. Thompson. Aft er the last witness of the day had testified. Attorney Todd, for the defense, said he would probably not place the defendant' on the stand at the present hearing. K they are not acquitted in tho lower court, strenuous efforts will be made to present a strong defense in the Criminal Court. "When Attorney Frank "Walker, for the prosecution, called to the stand Constable Charles E Turk, one of the officers who made the arrest, tho courtroom was1 full of spectators, men and women, about equally divided as to numbers. Turk said that when he and Constables Gard and Neff rang the door bell of flat No. 2. 2315 Wabash avenue, on the evening of July 31, Mr. Pat terson came to the door armed with a re volver, which ho held threateningly. After a few words from the Constables "he threw the weapon on a bed in an adjoining room where Mrs. Ustick was lying." An Affectionate Conplc. "How was Mr. Patterson dressed at that time?" asked Attorney Walker. "He wore a loose-fitting oriental robe," was the reply. The Constable gave a description of tho flat and of Its luxurious furnishings. "There were four rooms," he said, "a front parlor, with an alcove, back parlor, duiins-roum and kitchen. ' He then went on to explain that there wero two beds In the fiat, one in tho rear lo-jm. which had not bttn disturbed. In the oilier, tne wit ness explained, Mrs. Ustick was lying. The witness said he remained in tho apartments while his lellow-olitcor, in com pany with Mr. Patterson, went in quest of tail. Mrs. Ustick. he said, claimed she woe ill- . , ... , Such exclamations as "dearie and "darling" passed between them, according to Constable Uard, who was the next wit ness. He said Mr. Patterson stooped as it to kirs .Mrs. Ustick, but as to whether tho kiss was actually implanted or not he was not able to state. "In his absence." said the witness, "Mrs. Ustick told me that he was subject to faint ing spells and Instructed mo to send for a certain physician if anything happened to him. , , "After awhile Patterson returned, and, taking off his coat and vest, sat down on a bed. He had not been there very long be fore one of his 'spells' came on him. He tossed about in the bed. groaning and kick ing. I overpowered him with difficulty, and Mrs. Ustick sent for the physician. Whllo we were waiting, a colored woman who acted an a domestic in the house, appeared with some small capsules containing a liquid '-.instance. Sho took one of these capsules, put it in a handkerchief and cracked it on a door knob, just as ice is usually broken In a rag. The odor emitted by tho liquid was sickening. The domestic put the hand kerchief to Patterson's nose and It brought him out of ills spell, though he remained in a sort of a stupor." Attorney Todd exhibited a capsule similar to those used in the room and it was broken for tho benefit of the witness, who testified that the odor was the same. The "Glory" Letter. Attorney Walker then introduced the famous "Beautiful Glory" letter and, after tho h-iniiwritim in the fourteen-nago missive had been identified by Doctor Tul- ( ler as that of Mr. Patterson.

As he proceeded. Mrs. t stick joined In tho laughter nt hk odd expressions, which put the courtroom in a roar. Mrs Clara Barley said she had been the housekeeper of the Wabash avenue flat.
