i)R. KIEFFER SHADOWED.
TOM FOGARTY’S FRIENDS THREAT
EN TO TAKE HIS LIFE.
The Victim of a Murderous Assault in
Danger Again—The Doctor Meets
Fogarty’s Brother and Shot Guns Are
Brought Out-The Shadow Asks an
Explanation—The Victim Announces
His Readiness for a Shooting Match
but Asks for Notice.
Dr. Edward J. Kieffer. the 'West Broad
*treet druggist, who was shot in March last
by Thomas Fogarty, and who only recovered
by a miracle, says he is being shadowed by
certain persons, and that his life is in con
stant menace. Several very suspicicious
events have occurred lately, and Mr. Kieffer
is constantly on his guard against any assas
sin who might attack him. In reply to inter
rogations, Mr. Kieffer makes the following
statement in substance: About a month ago
himself and a New York friend drove out
to Woeltjen’s store, about a mile out on the
Central railroad. They drove up to the
front of the store and Mr. Kieffer alighted,
leaving his friend in the buggy, and entered
the store. As he passed through the door
he first saw William Fogarty, a brother of
Thomas, drinking a glass of water. As soon
as Fogarty saw Mr. Kieffer enter he set
down the glass and, peaching behind him,
Sicked up a double-barreled shotgun.
tr. Kieffer says his feelings at that trying
moment wore thrilling to the extreme, but
he passed dose to Fogarty, who seemed not
to mind him, and went out of the store.
Mr. Kieffer then called his friend in and
explained the circumstances to him. How
one brother had already attempted to kill
him and that he hud thought another was
going to try. The friend urged him to
arm himself, and if any attempt was made
against his life to defend himself. Accord
ing to this advice a shot-gun was borrowed
Of Mr. Woeltjen as they rose to leave. They
got in the buggy without any molestation,
though they saw Fogarty a short distance
off. They drove home safely, but the inci
dent impressed itself on Mr. Kieffer's mind
and made him doubly careful.
A THREATENING REPLY.
Shortly after this episode he noticed that
one John Drury, who iof ore this had
seldom been around his drug store, began
to linger near there a good deal, walking
around the door often and seeming to lie in
the neighborhood more frequently than his
business would call hint there. Another in
cident occurring at this time, made him re
gard young Drurv with suspicion. On
July 4, he and Mr. Walsh, his clerk,
were standing by the door watching
the crowds. Drury was on the opposite side
of the street, engaged in an altercation with
a negro. He knocked the negro down, and
picking up an ax swuug it as if to hit the
prostrate negro on the head. Mr. Kieffer
uttered an exclamation of horror, expecting
to see the negro killed. Mr. Walsh then
said to him that Drury didn’t
intend to harm the fellow.
Drury said to someone standing by: “I
ain’t going to kill him: it’s t hose two
on the corner I want,” evidently alluding to
Kieffer and Walsh.
Mr. Walsh is the man who nursed Dr.
Kieffer when he was shot and to whose care
ful and untiring attention, in part, he owes
his recovery.
SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES.
A few evenings later Dr. Kioffer started
to catch a car, nut was detained. A mo
ment after a lady, who was familiar with
the case and who was passing at the time,
stepped into the store and said:
“Doctor, its a good thing you did not
lake that car. Drury got on it just in front
of the door.” The doctor was suspicious of
this, as it was unusual for Drury to go out
in the southern part of the city at night,
when he lived in the immediate neighbor
hood.
Many of the people in that section thought
he was trying to kill Walsh. (>ne ilay pass
ing there with Mrs. Fogarty he abruptly
started to go in as they passed the distr. but
Mrs. Fogarty took hint tty the arm and led
him along. Some remark then was
made about killing someone, either
Mr. Walsh or Dr. Kieffer.
KEEPING A WATCHFUL EYE.
One evening as they were closing up the
•tore the small boy employed there told Dr.
Kieffer that Drury mid another man were
out iii front, that they acted suspiciously,
walking around and peeping into the store
and keeping themselves screened as much
as possible. He armed himself and went
home, the parties leaving as soon as he
came out. Although no assuult has been
made. Dr. Kieffer has been informed by re
liable parties that thnstts were made to kill
him anti Mr. Walsh, and ho feels convinced
that attempts will l>o made.
John Drury walked into the store yester
day and asked Dr. Kieffer if he had told the
neighbors that he threatened to kill him.
Dr. Kieffer replied that he hail told his
friends just what he had observed in regard
to Drury’s suspicious movements. That lie
had heard of many throats lining made
against him, and he therefor made tho best
Interpretation of his actions be could.
ARMED AND WELL PREPARED.
“Furthermore.” said llr. Kieffer. “I ntn
now armed ar.d thoroughly aware of tile
threats made against me. But I want you
to give mo fair wattling. If you desire to
kill me, say so, and I’ll lie ready for you
anytime. Just give me a fair chance and
you can go ahead whenever you wish to.
Don’t shoot me in the back as Tom Fogarty
did.” As he was speaking to Drury, a lady
came in bir a prescription, and ite asked
Drury to emit a moment as he desired to
talk with him further. As soon as lie had
put up the prescription he returned to see
Drury, but he had gone. Afterwards he
saw him passing the store once or twice
but he did not got another chance to talk
with him.
Mr. Drury is a young man about 2d years
old.and isan employe of tlieCentrol Railroad,
and lives on Garrard street. Dr Kieffer
think* that tho reason Drurv is after him is
because tho police searched'lus house twice
while Tom Fogar*y was at largo.
Death of James R. Raines.
Mr. Jamesß. Koines, u well-known citizen,

does not know when he goes from one cur to

IVlMiAlilt'S PUNISHMENT
THE SENTENCE IMPOSED UPON
THE PATRICIDE.
Four Years He Must Serve in the
Penitentiary His Counsel Appeal
for Leniency—A Juror's Competency
Questioned—An Affidavit Regarding
Wingard’s Health—Judge Adams’
Opinion.
Judge Adams sentenced Willie Wingard,
the boy who shot and killed his stepfather,
Edward E. Thomas, to four years in the
penitentiary. At 12:30 oVJoek the boy was
taken into court from the grand jury room,
where ho hud been waiting for about half
an hour. S. B. Adams, Esq., the prisoner’s
counsel, addressed the Judge and briefly re
viewed the evidence in the case. He re
called the testimony that the provocation
for the killing was Thomas’ brutal treat
ment of his wife. He said that the only
fault he had to find with the jury was that
one of tyie jurors had said before the trial
that the defendant ought to bo hanged.
Mr. dußignon said that he could produce
affidavits from the juror and others that
ho had never made any such statement.
Mr. Adams raid that it hail come to his
ears that tho remark had been made by the
juror, but if he was mistaken he withdrew
wlmt he had said. He further stated that
the defendant had omitted some things
from tils statement that would have had
their effect with tho jury; but that was nat
ural, as the defendant was a liny. He asked
the court to be as lenient as was consistent
with in -.tico. He aided that ho did not
think Wingard could give bond, and unless
lie could, no motion for anew trial would
he made, as lie could not remain in jail.
the Prisoner’s affidavit.
lie presented an affidavit from Wingard
in which tho latter swore that he did not
shoot Thomas while he was asleep, but
waked him up with thp first shot and fired
the second when Thomas had risen almost
to a sitting posture. He further says that
his grandfather did not instigate the shoot
ing, but that he did it because Thomas’
treatment of liis mother goaded him on,
though he shrank from taking human life,
but Anally he thought he ought to do it to
save his mother from further degradation
and from death, lie denies that lie
has ever said that he believed
he had done wrong. On the contrary
he has and does still believe that he did
right. He realizes how sad a thing it is to
take life, hut he does not feel that ho has
lieen guilty of any crime, for he thinks that
he has only done what he had to do.
Mr. .Adams also submitted an affidavit
made bv Dr. William Duncan, in which he
states that the action of Wingard's heart is
irregular and the force and volume of its
impulse is above normal, indicating a de
rangement of that organ. The doctor
thought that hard labor would increase the
derangement.
Mr. dußignon made a few remarks in
which he urged that the verdict of the jury
was rendered from a sense of duty, though
every one of the jurors deeply sympathized
with the defendant, and if ever n verdict
was rendered despite sympathy that was the
one.
JUDGE ADAMS’ OPINION.
Judge Adams said that he had never had
a case before him which had given him so
much trouble and anxiety as this had. The
discretion which is imposed upon a judge is
very wide and the responsibility is very
groat. He had a very keen and earnest con
•eption that it was his duty to enforce the
laws nnd mete out justice, hut justice is not
always severity nor is severity always jus
tice. The judge then said: “The
jury convicted this defendant of
voluntary manslaughter, which the
statute defines as killing under that
sudden, violent impulse of passion, sup
tKised to be irresistible and with considera
ble provocation. I have considered the
question of the circumstances surrounding
this individual and how strongly they opoi
nted upon him. My judgment does not con
demn the verdict of the jury. It was a case
which appealed ;>eouliuny to those functions
which the law vests in a jury. The jury
trying the case was above the averago one
in intelligence and standing.
HIS RULING PASSION.
The provocation upon which this defend
ant acted finds its origin in the treatment
of his mother hy his stepfather. 1 have no
doubt as to the truth of the statement of
that treatment. It was no doubt cruel and
brutal. Probably the strongest sentiment
in this defendant is his affection for his
mother. There were others at fault no
doubt. The mother remained with her
husband and there was fault there,
hut it is hardly fair to ascribe that
fault to this defendant. It is a serious
thing to take human life, but in this case I
have considered the youtli of the defendant.
Where there is no provocation in the Hiking
of human life the extreme penalty of the
law should lie imposed. A man or a vouth
who will take or attempt to take a fellow
being's life without provocation shows an
abandoned and malignant heart, and
that forbids the ho|>e of tiis reformation.
Hut in a case of this kind where a party acts
in tile heat of passion under considerable
provocation, I think that the youth of the
individual is a circumstance to lie taken
into consideration. Is there anything in
this case that forbids the idea that ho may
become a useful member of society t There
was nothing in the evidence in this case
which forbids the entertaining of
tliis hope. Ido not believe that the inter
est of society demands that this promise
should Ik- destroyed by a severe sentence.
The conclusion at which I have arrived, in
view of all the facts and circumstances, I
lielieve is a just one. It is certainly not the
offspring of sentiment or sympathy.’ -
The prisoner was then commanded to rise,
and he was sentenced to four years in the
penitentiary.

Charleston Sprays.
The colored inhabitants of Morris street
are greatly exorc.sed over the mysterious
sounds that come welling up at night from
the ground. According to the statements of
the inhabitants of the “infosted district,”
groans, cries, lamentations, etc., have been
heard. The first indication of subterranean
trouble was report*<l from tho premises of
John Wightman, who lives at No. 5 Morris
street. According to the most trustworthy
statements the peculiar noise was heard on
last Sunday morning. At least a dozen colored
people have testified that they heard a
sound as if proceeding from the deaths of
the earth. It was compared by different
hearers to that of an animal and to the voice
of a human being in “great distress.” One
of the colored persons on the premises said
she was confident it was a “spirituous” voice,
because she had been informed that her
house hail lieen built over a burying ground.
The sounds as alleged have changed their
point of observation since Sunday. On that
day they were heard on a remote part of
the lot and since then have been heard
“under the house” and in v arious other di
rections. The colored people are greatly
worried over the matter.
The Citadel Cadets will celebrate their
farewell to the summer with a “hop” nt the

and up to Friday, next week, the Cadets
will be almost exclusively occupied with the
commencement exercises’ of the Academy

dress parades, etc. It is stated on the best
authority that the generous rivalry of
each successive class will make the souvenir
ball this season something to be pleasantly
remembered

TROUBLE OVER BAGGAGE
A LAWSUIT WHICH CALLS OUT A
NUMBER OP CARDS.
Statarawiis from Both Sides—An Open
ing' for an Invitation to a Hostile
Meeting—Lawyers Give an Opinion
on a Point Involving Professional
Etiquette.
A goo! deal of interest was manifested In
the following card which was distributed in
circular fonn yesterday and it was the sub
ject of any amount of comment and gossip:
A CAKD.
To the Public:
Charles N. West, a lawyer of Savannah, Ga.,
has recently taken advantage of a legal oppor
tunity to perpetrate an outrage upon me of
such a character. as required an emphatic de
nur.ciation from me.
This outrage was the seizure of my personal
ba;*ga#?p by process of law. declining to accept
my statement that it contained only wearing
apnarel and articles necessary to the comfort of
a gentleman and instructing the Marshal to make
a personal examination—a proceeding outraging
decency, and unheard <>f except in cases where
defendant was unworthy of reflect and
credence.
Seeking to shield hi fused f behind the cloak of
professional duty he lias failed to reset it au in
sult. put upon him, in consequence of his course
ns aliove, stated, thereby proving himself to be
a * deficient in courage, as full of venom.
I hereby denounce him as a liar and hypocrite,
unworthy the respect of gentlemen, and a dis
grace to the honorable profession whose mis
f< irtune it is to bo afflicted with lien ring bis name
upon its rolls. Perjiy M. DeLeon.
Savannah. Ga., July 21, 1887.
Upon seeing the circular Mr. West pre
pared the following card which he submits
to those to whom it is addressed:
TO THE PUBLIC.
Mr. Perry M. DeLeon having assailed mo by
means of a printed circular addressed to you,
and distributed through the mails, 1 deem it
only justice to myself that a full statement
should be made to you concerning the subject
matter of bis circular, and I subjoin such a
statement and a cony of letters pasacd since the
occurrences mentioned.
So far as my professional conduct and reputa
tion are involved, I am always willing to leave
them in the hands of my professional nrethren.
Touching Mr. DeLeon a charge, of shirking a
personal issue with him, I submit myself to the
Judgment of the public whether I should be
authorized in any degree to tender or accept
from him an issue upon the basis of this case,
except when required by the ordinary and plain
usages of self protection.
Charles N. West.
On .Tune last, licing the plaintiff's attorney
in the unsatisfied judgment for $1,097.07 of
Heller. Hirsh & Cos. vs. Perry M. DeLeon. I was
instructed by my clients to have the execution
levied upon Mr. DeLeon's baggage. This in
struction arrived in the afternoon, and I imme
diately placed the execution in the hands of the
United States Marshal, Mr. Frank Lamar, with
instructions to levy it upon Mr. DeLeon's bag
gage in case he should Attempt to leave the city
without satisfaction of this judgment. At the
same time I gave the Marshal a letter to be
handed to Mr. DeLeon, of which the following
is a copy, and explains itself:
Savannah. Ga., June R, 1887.
Haller. Hirsh dk Cos. vs. Perry M. Dc Leon, Esq.,
City.
Dear Sir—l am instructed to-day by telegram
from the plaintiffs to levy upon your personal
effects if you leave the city without settlement
of their judgment. And ‘in pursuance of this
instruction, the matter has been turned over to
the Marshal.
I shall regret greatly if any personal incon
venience be created to vou, but as the instruc
tion is one that clients have a legal right to give,
my only course is to place their execution in
the hands of the proper officer, with the men
tion of the plaintiffs' requirements.
Very respectfully,
Chaki.es N. West.
Late in the afternoon of the next day, I re
ceived a call from Mr. DeLeon's attorney, who
informed me that the Marshal had levied the
execution upon Mr. DeLeon's baggage, that lie
w’as informed by Mr. DeLeon that the trunks
contained nothing but clothing. He stated that
he would offer his jiersonal check for such
amount as I claimed the contents of the trunk
were worth. I replied that I w ould take the re
sponsibility of instructing the Marshal to
release the levy, so far as it covered
clothing, first satisfying himself
upon this point, and I declined the check offered.
Tie then asked if I desired to be present at the
search of the baggage. This i refused to do,
considering it out of my province. Further
conversation occurred between us about the
matter relating to the effect of the proceedings
upon the personal relations between Mr. De
l/eon and myself Upon the arrival of the Mar
shal I explained to nim the nature of my con
sent, and handed him the following note:
Savannah, Ga„ June 9, 1887.
Heller. Hirsh rf Cos., vs. Perry M. DeLeon, to the
United States Marshal:
Dear Sir—Your levy of the foregoing execu
tion upon any property of Mr. DeLeon's in the
nature of clothing or property usu'd by gentle
men for personal comfort is hereby released.
Ciiart.es X. West.
Plaintiffs' Attorney.
Some conversation took place between the
Marshal and myself as to the probable contents
of the trunks, and be left my office to execute
the release, if desired. I understanding that, ns
a matter of course, his duty would require him
to satisfy himself by personal inspection in case
Mr. DeLeon should wish to avail himself of the
release offered by me.
The Marshal returned after a time and re
ported that the baggage contained nothing but
clothing, and that he had released it.
Charles N. West
Savannah , July 22, 1887.
Mr. West having received peremptory orders
to make the levy, we consider his conduct, as
set out in the foregoing statement, strictly pro
fessional. Henry R Jackson,

The day the*levy was made Mr. DeLeon
was called to Atlanta to attend to the busi
ness of the Alabama Coal Company, of
which be is pr 'sident, and when that busi
ness was concluded he returned to this city
to settle the matter with Mr. West. He ar
rived here Thursday, July 14, and immedi
ately wrote tliis letter:
Savannah, Ga., July 14, 1887.
Mr. Charles X. West. Savannah, Ga.:
Sir: Imperative obligations to my business
associates necessitated iny leaving Savannah
wit bout the prolmbility of answering your note
of Junefl, (received as I was about taking the
omnibus) or of disioslng of you otherwise. My
return to Savannah, where 1 shall be until Sat
urday afternoon at Itviat, bos been delayed by
the causes referred to until yesterday afternoon,
but neither the unnecessary outrage imposed
upon me. nor the insincere apology you offer for
it,havebecn forgotten at any time in the interim.
I am well aware that a lawyer owes certain duties
to his clients, but I decline to believe such duty
requires any reputable lawyer to allow himself
to be made an instrument for gratifying the
malice ot such client as you represent, of whose
vindictive but futile legal attacks upon me for
six years just you are aware. The privileges of
ihe law doubtless tit your eaav conscience and
excuse you to yourself (if not exposed) for out
raving tli‘ feelings of a gentleman, but v>ur
note proves that even you felt ashamed of the
servile part you were playing, and your
actions further prove that the professions of
regret contained in said note were false and
hypocritical. I use these terms in their most
emphatic sense. Having thus erpressed my
opinion to you of your strictly professional sense
of dutv. 1 add in conclusion that I bliali, when
ever I feel inclined, expose your conduct in the
matter without reserve.
(Signed.) Perry M. DeLeon.

Mr. Clin*. X. City.
Sir: Your absence lins delayed the delivery
of enebwed note. I shall he hi the city until to
morrow night or later.

To this Mr. West made the following
reply:
Savannai!, Oa., July 19, 1887.
IXrry if. /V/>on, Emj.. City:
Sir: lam In receipt of your letter of the
14th lnt., with note of 18th. Th- purpose of
these notes is unmistakable, and { lie* to say In
reply t hat I decline to IHI held responsible,
directly or indirectly, by you for the discharge
of what 1 assume to ho my duty toward
clients. Whether it is a duty, and for the man
ner of its peit'ortuauce, I hold myself at any
time subject to the Judgment of inv own pro
fession, hut certainly not. to that of the defend
ant against whom the proreedlng was adopted
1 l*-g to point out that what you have men
tioned as an expression of regret for the pro
eedure was in fact not such, hut explicitly an
expression of regret for any Inconvenience that
tnight lie thereby caused. Tlie feeling was nat
ural. and I li.td not thought Its expression a mis
take until the receipt of your notes.

C, N. West.
Mr. DeLeon wrote the card that appears
lelow last night and sent it in for publica
tion :
A CARD.
I shall not fatigue the public further with a
matter purely jiersonal between Mr. West and
myself, except to say that the card signed by
several members or the Savannah bar of high
professional and social standing, which appeared
in yesterday s Times, was based on an ex parte
statement.
The first knowledge. I had of it was its
publication: their opinion would probably have
been changed had they heard both sides before
signing their names to the card. Other attor
neys of equal standing, who are conversant
with all th* facts, have expressed an entirely
different opinion. A number of facts have been
suppressed and others colored by Mr. West to
suit the purposes of his publication.
Among others, I have a letter from Mr. La
inar, the Deputy United States Marshal, stating
that after receiving his written instructions
from Mr. Weit, as published in the Times , Mr.
West, in a verbal conversation, “insisted” that
he should search my baggage, thus falsifying
the record he endeavored to make. This so far
a$ relates to his conduct as a lawyer; of his con
duct ns a man I have already expressed my
opinion and find no reason to change it.
