NOVEL BY PHILLIPS
CAUSE OF SHOOTING
New York.—David Graham Phillips,
the famous American author, who was
shot yesterday afternoon by Fltzhugh
Coyle Goldsborough. Socialistic grad
uate of Harvard university, is expected
to recover. He Is resting comfortably
at Bellevue hospital today and the at
tending physicians profess confidence ’
that he will bo able to pull thru.
The mystery surrounding tho shoot
ing has thus far. been unsolved, but the
theory on which Coroner Holtzbauscr Is
working Is that Goldsborough shot the
author In the belief that he bod por
trayed himself and his mother and sis
ter In his novel, “The Fashionable Ad
ventures of Joshua Craig.”
So far os tho coroner has learned, the
assassin comes of a prominent Mary
land family; formerly lived In Wash
ington, whero his father. Edmond K.
Goldsborough. resides at present, and
one time played In the Pittsburg or
chestra. Goldsborough had been resid
ing in this city less than three months,
and fellow residents of the rooming
house where he lived, at 112 East Nlnc-
teenth-st, told the authorities today
that he seeiqd to act queeriy at times.
Goldsborough apparently had studied
carefully the routine of the novelist’s
daily activity—In facL' he had lived
within a few doors of Phillips' domicile
for several weeks in order to be within
striking distance of his victim. Tho
novelist did not know who was trailing
him. allho he had received threatening
letters.
Indeed, yesterday afternoon shortly
before he was shot he received a tele
gram signed with his own namo In
which he was- warned to look out for
his life.
Until Goldsborough had read “The
Fashionable Adventures of Joshua
Craig” he had pored over every lino
written by Phillips, whom ho fairly
worshiped as a literary mentor. This
attitude changed to one of unreasoning
hatred when he Imagined be saw In the
character of Joshua Craig a portrait of
himself, and tn the heroine, Margaret,
and the Martinet grandmother, respect
ively, his sister and his mother, whom
he In his madness believed Phillips hod
used to enact scenes In which family .
skeletons were revealed.
