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.
