KILLED POLICEMAN E. T. McCAETNEV
SEVERAL HOUHS PREVIOUS,
' Murder was committed early yes
terday morning in Twenty-fourth
street near Folsom, the victim being
Policeman Edward T. McCartney,
who had been a member of the de
partment less than four months.
John J. Tansey, a picket for the car
nien's union, is behind the bars at the
city prison charged with killing Mc-
Cartney. He maintains that he is in
nocent, but the police say that they
have a clear case against him. The
shooting was entirely unprovoked, ac
cording to the story told by Police
!rjA" Petor J. Mitchell. McCartney and
.'jitchsll were standing at Twenty
fourth and Folsom streets shortly after 3
• •clock, and heard sounds of a disturb
ance in Howard street, & block away.
They went toward Howard and found
Tadsey and two companions intoxicated
-md making considerable noise. The po
licemen told them. to go home and not
disturb people, and Tansej' replied:,
"I-jpuess this is a free street and we
have a right to walk on it." McCartney
I put his hand on Tansey's shoulder, tell
ing him to go home, and accidentally
knocked off Tansej's hat.
Tansey and his two friends walked
'•along 1 Twent7-fourth street in the dl-
Vection ct Howard,, the two policemen
foJlowJrjg elowly. They saw ; one of
.Tanscy's companions leave at Folsom
rt.-eet and then they. lost sight of them.
= end McCartney stood at the
corner of Folsom street," and while they
*r?fe talking they saw Tansey. and his
remaining friend walking back on the
..opposite side of the etr^et. "I guess
these fallows mean trouble," remarked
Mitchell, es they 'walked across tha
strret .toward them. Again Mitchell
'loJd tliera to go home and not" make a
ilJsturbance. Tansey then pulled a re-"

dollars. He was the aristocratic head
of a gigantic graft administration of
which his keepers. were .the pages and
the lackeys. So he ruled- In the county
jail that when . he; went to dinner it
was at a private table and the food
was from the prison keeper's table. He
went downstairs by a/ back .; way and
his dignified ... figure was not seen

Schml tr met Glass last Monday. He
smiled and proffered his hand. Glass
did' not see it. Convict refused to speak
to convict. The shade of difference in
their outlawed position toward society
rendered Glass conscious of his supe

criminal point of view, and he. snubbed
his fellow felon! ' - :'.

not returned and on Labor day, the mis

I never subscribed to the

by. this chilly idea the cor-;

yesterday would have effect

not cold. He is one of those
unfortunate bundles ofj
warm hearted impulses that
go through life wholly mis-:
understood because the pack
age is done up in an exag

banks is so warm that he re
