Brighton died at 11:45 o'clock last night at the Holy Cross hospital, Just hours after he had been twenty-foshot. He was not able to make a statement other than thnt already reur ported. .The authorities are agreed thHt a lynching was averted only narrowly. The 300 employees of the Consolidated Ballway & Power company were thoroughly Incensed and bent on summary vengeance. They pointed to the action of Governor Wells, Attorney General Breeden and the other members of the board of pardons In the James Lynch case as an example of what might be expected If this murderer was allowed to take the regular legal course. "If one man who committed murder In trying to carry out a robbery is let go with a commutation of sentence, they argued In the street in front of police headquarters, "this man is likeout, too." ly to get The sentiment in favor of quick action found a widespread echo, and there was an angry mob In front of and watching the the rear for several hours. A guard was placed around the jali by street car men. The only thing which kept them from storming the stronghold was the lack of positive evidence that the right man was in custody. Ah the officers who have anything to do with the case are convinced that Shockley Is guilty. They admit, however, that the case is as yet incomplete. They hope that work now in progress will complete the chain and make a conviction certain. The first clew came in' shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. A man walked Into the station, giving his name as Bert Prothero, and told Captain Burbidge he knew who was the man guilty of the street car murders. He accused John Shockley, who occupied the same room with him over the Occidental saloon on East First South street, near Main street, of having committed the crime. Shockley was afterward pointed out to the police on the street by Prothero nd both men were taken into custody nd "sweated' separately. The statement of Prothero Is as follows: Shockley and Prothero separated bout 10 o'clock on the night of the murder, Prothero going to their room. About returned to the rom.

Corbett on that occasion knocked Terry out In eleven rounds. On Tuesday night last at San Fran- cisco, before the Hayes Valley Athletic club. Corbett fought and defeated Eddie Hanlon. They weighed In at 129 pounds at o'clock on the night of the battle, and by the time the two entered the ring they muat have tipped the at least four pounds more, which was above the lightweight limit, which is 133 pounds. The only legitimate claimants for honors in the featherweight ranks are Harry Forbes, Abe Attell and George Dixon. Forbes was formerly the bantam champion, and a year ago he did' not have the slightest trouble getting to 116 pounds. Like McGovern and Corbett he rapidly took on flesh. He fought Frankie Neil of California for the bantam prise and was knocked out Now Forbes confesses that the best he can do is 122 pounds at 3 o'clock in the 8t away. that he can He Mid e thought he had killed afternoon.
