JEALOUS MAN ATTEMPTS
MURDER AND SUICIDE
Variety House Performer Shoots Down Wife in Crowd
ed Balcony of Empire Theater and Tfieh Turns Gun
on Self—Woman at St. Joseph's Hospital Will Re
cover—Would-be Murderer Is Dyin^ at City Hospital
Dashing into the crowded balcony
of the Empire theater at 11 o'clock
• last night •'ProfT" Edward E. Herr,
hypnotist, shot his wife, known as
Blanche Lamont, and, after wounding
her seriously, turned his revolver upon
himself and inflicted a wound which
will probably prove fatal.
Herr fired two shots at the woman
from behind as she sat near the rail
ing, one of the bullets taking effect in
her head and the other in her neck
and hand.
Before any of the spectators coulu
reach him the would-be murderer
turned the revolver to his head and
fired a third shot into his right ear. .
The shooting is believed to have
been" the result of* a jealous quarrel,
for a short time before the woman
went to the gallery the two were seen
quarreling in the dressing rooms in
the basement. Herr spoke to the
woman in an angry tone. and. as soon
ap she had changed her clothing, she
left the room and went to the «main
floor and from there to the balcony,
where she took a seat near the railing
near a man.
Herr was seen to follow the woman
as she went up the stairs, and actors
who witnessed his actions said he ap
peared to be in a jealous rage.
Atoout two minutes after the woman
had taken the. seat in the balcony he
followed her from the wings on the
second floor, and coming up. behind,
drew the revolver and fired two shots
at her.
Waiter Tells of Shooting
"The woman came out from the
stage room on the second floor alone
and took a seat halfway back on the
left side of the house," said Eddie
Burns, 2032 Clinton avenue, Minneap
olis, the waiter on the balcony, "and
phe had been there about two minutes
when Herr followed her. Without the
least hesitation he drew the revolver,
and before I or any of the other men
in the balcony could cry out, pulled
the trigger twice. In an instant he
stepped back, turned the revolver on
himself and fired.
"The woman shrieked when she was
struck ai.d jumped up. Sljp.ran up the
aisle, jumping over his body, and made
for the stairs. There were about fifty
tnen in the balcony and there was a
stampede for the stairway as soon as
the shooting began. I ran to the wom
an, and with another man, Frank
Dubey, 291 South Robert street, stop
per her and then she was overcome.
We carried her down stairs and called
the police."
Other witnesses give the same story
of the shooting.
"It's all his fault," gasped the La
mont woman, as she lay on a table on
the lower floor of the theater, before
she was taken away in the ambulance.
"I picked him up out of the gutter and
made a man of him, and this is the
way he treats me."
She declined to give any further ac-
BUTCHERSTO STRIKE
Western Packing Plants May
Be Idle Today
CHICAGO, July . 11.—A general
strike of the employes of all the big
packing plants throughout the coun
try was ordered tonight by Michael J.
Donnelly, president of the Amalga
mated Meat Cutters and Butchers'
Workmen of America. Unless the
packing companies offer some sort of
compromise to the wage demands of
the union, the 49,600 men affected by
Donnelly's order will go out tomorrow
at noon.
The following companies affected by
the order have branches at St. Louis,
Kansas City, Omaha, St. Paul and
Fort Worth:
Armour & Co., Swift & Co., Nelson,
Morris & Co., Schwarzchild & Sulz
feerger. Cudahy Packing company and
the National Packing company. In
Chicago alone these companies employ
more than 14,000 men, all of whom will
quit work at the same time as the
employes of the packing companies
outside of the city.
Tonight Mr. Donnelly said:
"For nearly two months we have
been carrying on negotiations with
the committee of superintendents rep
resenting all the packers in order to
secure new agreements for our mem
bers, the old contracts between the
unions and the companies having ex
pired on May 28. Since that time we
have been working without any agree
ment and have tried in every way to
reach a satisfactory agreement with
the packing Interests, but they have
held out on every proposal."
Supt. J. J. Conway, of Armour &
Co.,- made this statement:
•Neither side wants a strike. I think
fl further conference will be held to
morrow and in all probability a satis
factory settlement will be reached."
OMAHA, Neb.. July 11.—The pack
ing house managers of South Omaha
have notified the committeemen that
there will be no live stock market on
Tuesday on account of the threatened
strike of 6,000 packing house employes.
This notice was given early today in
order that commission house men
might notify shippers to withhold
shipments of live stock to this mar
ket until the threatened trouble was
•ettled.

I sent judge Parker, as follows: "Tour

sage arouses enthusiasm, t look to

dential messages assuring the country
of peace with honor, both national and
financial. Accept my congratulations."
John Dewitt Warner—Parker's nom
ination on an aggressive platform
should assure every legitimate busi
ness interest and stir every Democrat.
Now that the money issue Is recognized
as dead, radicals and conservatives can
work-together for live causes. They
have agreed upon opposition to trusts,
tariffs, subsidies and every other phase
of imperialism.
James •Byrne—The action of Judge
Parker in sending his telegram to St.
Louis has put the Democratic party in
a good light, and its candidate for pres
ident in "the best possible light before
the country. The chief issue in this
campaign, in my opinion, will be which
candidate, if elected, will be more like
ly to give the country a safe and sound
administration. I believe Parker will
carry this state.

AUTHORIZED STATEMENT
IS MADE BY SHEEHAN
Explanation of Judge Parker's Ante-
Convention Silence Is Made—He
Sent His Gold Standard Telegram
to Counteract Bryan's Statement
That He Was Tricking the Conven
tion and the Party
ESOPUS, N. V., July ll.—An explanatory statement of the
long silence of Judge Parker was given by a close personal
friend of the judge this afternoon.
As' a judge, said the authority, Judge Parker had kept si
lent on political questions. He believed that it was not com- i
patible with the dignity of a judge on the bench to discuss
such questions. When he was prominently mentioned as a
candidate for the presidency Judge Parker thought that the
people of the country knew his full views. He realized that
the Democratic party would be composed of two elements
when the national convention assembled—radicals and con- •
servatives.
He- knew that he was regarded as the^ candidate of the
conservatives and became convinced that it -was not neces
sary for him to. make any statement of his views. Judgs .
Parker had voted for Mr. Bryan in 1896 and 1900 and he ;
had done so not because of, but in spite of, the silver plank. He
did not think that anyone had any doubt as to where he stood,
and had hoped to maintain his silence through the campaign
preliminary to the convention.
SHUNS SUSPICION OF TRICKERY
Judge Parker had no intimation of the subject matter of
the platform until after he had been notified by a reporter of
his nomination. When he had gone for his. horseback ride he
realized that if he allowed the convention to adjourn without 1
knowing his financial' views} the people would regard as
true Mr. Bryan's statement that the judge was tricking the
convention and the party. He was not willing to profit by
the nomination and thus be regarded as being guilty of trick-*
cry. It was then that Jiidge Parker decided to send a tele
jgramto the convention. He returned from his ride and with->
out consulting anyone Wrote the telegram, to Mr. Sheehan,,
which was filed at Esopus at 11 :SO a. m. on Saturday.
SHEEHAN DOES SOME "NAILING"
William F. Sheehan arrived at Esopus from St. Louis this
afternoon. He was- met at the station by Mrs. Sheehan and!
was driven to his summer home near Rosemont. On the way,
Mr. Sheehan met Judge Parker, who was driving. The two
gentlemen alighted and greeted each other. Mrs. Parker and
Mrs. Sheehan then drove to the Sheehan house in one car- ;
riage and Judge Parker and Mr. Sheehan in the other. Later*
Mr. Sheehan made this statement:
"I am authorized to say that no telegram was sent by
Judge Parker to Senator Hill on any subject while the latter
was in St. Louis."
HOW JUDGE PARKER
SENT THE TELEGRAM
Spent Moments in a Brown Study
While Riding His Horse
ESOPUS, N. V., July 11.—Light was
thrown on the history of the now fa
mous Parker telegram and the reply
to it of the Democratic convention at
St. Louis by a close friend of Judge
Parker, who said:
"When Judge Parker went to bed
at 9:45 Friday night he did not know
anything at all about the financial side
of the platform which had been agreed
upon, more than was outlined in the
very brief bulletin telephoned from
Kingston. When informed at 6:50 a.
m. of his nomination "he knew no more
and the first real knowledge he had of
the action of the convention on the
financial plank in the platform was
when he read the New York morning
papers. Immediately after breakfast,
a little after 9 o'clock, he started for a
horseback ride. Before mounting a
telegram was handed him giving a
concise outline of the platform.
From the moment of his reading of
that telegram It was noticed that he
wag very much preoccupied and as he
rode off his head was bowed as if in
deep thought.
"About 10:30 o'clock he rode up to
the railroad station, asked for tele*

grams and received a bunch of them.
None of them gave him the informa
tion he wanted. He chatted with tne .
reporters and it was afterward recalled i
that some of hie questions to them be- i
trayed his lack of first-hand knowledge
of the convention's action. He waited I
about the station, almost irresolute in
bearing, for ten minutes and then sud- j
denly galloped back toward Rosemont.
An hour afterward his famous tele
gram was .filed with the operator and
the remarkable series of events was
under way.
"That night while the convention
tossed and billowed with the sensation'
he had produced he sat up until after I
3 a. m. closely watching the bulletins
and did not retire until after the ac
tion of the convention upon his tele
gram was made plain to him. It ia
not true that Judge Parker Bent a
message to Senator Hill demanding!
the insertion of a gold plank. His tel- I
egram to William F. Sheehan was his
first communication with the conven
tion."
Judge Parker received today the fol- i
lowing message from former Presl*
dent Cleveland at Buzzard's Bay:
"You must permit me -to express my.,
gratitude and admiration for the splen- |
did manifestation of honor and courage
you have given to your countrymen
and to the Democracy in your St. LOUI9 •

So far as his plans have as yet been
made Judge Parker will not tour the
country making speeches. His per
sonal campaign will be conducted in a
way similar to that of President Me- j
