Captain Parker Shot by Patrolman George Albright at 7:15 O'clock This Morning. The Climax and Bloody Culmination of the Bitter Quarrel in the Banks of the Police. THE FATAL MEETING. The Trouble Originated "With the Suspen-sion of Albright as Patrolman. And was Promoted in the Bitter Quarrels Resulting From the Late Investigation. PARKER THE AGGRESSOR, Shot Through the Bowels He Dies a Few Minutes Later The Hom-icides Story. At 7:15 o'clock this morning, almost under the eaves of police headquarters, W. B. Parker was shot and almost instantly killed by Patrolman George Albright. The particulars of the fatal meeting are easily summarized. Captain Parker had made his appearance at police headquarters under the influence of liquor, and made it quite apparent to those pres-ent that ,he was ripe for the avenging of some wrong, imaginary or otherwise, that rankled in his bosom. He summoned Sergeant Donovan, whose shift walked the earth like a king scarcely more f than an hour ago, was put into it. The w agon drove away. Its passage w as through an unbroken tile of curious people who, with bated breath, were asking of the next person to them if they knew any particulars of the bloody tragedy which had taken place but a short time before. Regardless of this curiosity the driver of the wagon hurried on to the rooms of the Utah Undertaking company on Main street below Second South street The gloomy chariot was closely followed by a Times reporter. Few people on the streets had yet been in-formed of the dreadful affair, but all looked after the wagon with a presentiment that something unusual had taken place. The remains were taken from that black prison and removed to tho basement of the undertaking rooms where bodies are prepared for their sepulchre. Taken out of the box the body was quick-ly stripped and an examination made to see if any other leaden messengers had arrived at their destination. One other had, but it took no part in hastening Cap-tain Parker's end, though had he lived it would probably have been necessary for him to go through the world with but one ana. That ball had passed through the biceps of the lglit arm, shattering and splintering the biues of that member iu a most terrible manner. "When the arm was moved those bones ground and grated in a most painful way to the ear When closely examined the arm was found to be shattered all to pieces. No other wounds were found. The hall which had entered the abdomen, had not passed through the body, nor had the one in the arm entered it. No certain statement can be made of the course of the ball which hit the captain near the navel, but it seemed as if it ranged slightly down and towards the left side. That bullet had passed through the overcoat near the second button from the bottom, through the undercoat and vest, and of course the shirt and undercloth-ing. "When tii's examination was made the bod still warm and limp.

As a reminiscence Appouyi'a failure soon faded away. Its consecration to the god of tragedy will remain through the cycles of political ages. Hundreds, yes, thou-sands have visited the scene during the day. The board walls, perforated by bullets, have been a study throughout the day of youth and age. Here was the fatal meeting grouud between the duelists. The hour was a timely one for tragedy. But few were abroad and, it is said, there were no specta-tors. There were only two who could tell the story. The mouth of one is hushed closed in densest silence. There may have been others but up to this hour they' have not reported at police headquarters, nor at the morgue where the body of poor Parker lies. Story of the Miooting. "iThc only living witness thus far devel-oped is Otlicer George Albright himself and to his steel-ribbe- d the reporter made his waj Upon tiie window sill was poised a basin of water, its contents col- - ored blood-re- d by the streams of blood that iiowed sluggishly from a scalp wound on the left side of the. slayer's scalp. The prisoner held a wet towel to his head and was treat-ing his injuries with hospital like skill when the visitor entered. The wound which the public ascribed to a bullet from Parker's gun was ugly. It measured 'bout an inch across the scalp and appeared to have beeu inflicted with some blunt instru-ment. "'Where' s the doctor?" demanded Officer Albright, as he hastily invoiced the physiog-nomies of his guests. "Gone to his breakfast," volunteered Mar-shal Young, whose face revealed new fur-rows of care. "The application of cold water is the right thing at this time, and is just what a doctor would prescribe. I'll send him up just as soon as he comes back, however." "I've only got one story to tell," said the prisoner, turning to the interviewer, "and" The speaker broke into hysterics. "My God! my God'." cried Albright in his paroxysm. "Why did he drive me to it. I told him not to," and he buried his face in hands. It "was fully a minute before the in-terviewer linally pursuaded the otlicer it.

Desk Serjeant Hilton undertook to quiet him, convinced him of the fact that he w as under the influence of liquor and un-dertook to disentangle a scarf that had yot mixed up in the holiday orgy. At this time Captain Parker was very drunk, and gesticulatively said: "These fellows have got to obey me. I'll make 'em do it." With this he staggered through the door and ambled on through the open hallway into the street. There was an elapse of a few minutes in which bloodshed was pre-cipitating. The captain moved to the cor-ner of First South and " State street - tiiat - was eliadowcd from the rising sun by a high board wall. Officer Albright was tripping rapidly down toward police station with a paper in his hand. He readied the corner on which Parker was standing. He nodded his head in dry salutation to his superior who addressed some speech to him and then moved up towards Albright, who stood still aud raising the paper disparagingly 'uttered something the spectators were unable to catch. Parker continued to advance, howev-er, and then his gun came forth. It brandished in the air a moment, then fell on Albright's scalp. There was a momentary struggle. The men separated, Albright re-treated toward the plot of green grass that fringes the sidewalk, while the captain leaned himself against the bill boards. lioth men had now presented their weapons. The duel began. The tierce reports of the six shooter were heard. Thrice and more the smoke belched from the muzzle, of the revolver held in A-lbright's hand. Parker fell to hij knees; the tiring ceased, and then the wounded man fell over upon his side. At this moment Desk Sergeants Hilton and Mc Curdy came from the aisle of city hall and as Albright stood surveying the tragic situation, they took hold of him. . Albright who was cool as a gust from the snowclad hilltops walked with them to headquarters and was removed to a cell on the upper floor o the city jail. Having caged the living the ofli-cc-went back for the dying. Captain Park-er was then breathing laboriously aud could only speak incoherently. The doomed body cn which death was peuciling its claim, was taken to the police court chamber, and a few minutes later the last 6park of life had flown. Captain Parker was dead; an eventful career was spent and the fight in the police force had reached its bloodiest climax. Origin of the Trageily. The origin of this moat lamentable tragedy is i:s plain as the gaudy legends upon the bill boards in the shadow of which it was enacted. For some time the police force have been embroiled in a fight between factions. The revolutionists claimed that Parker was too dom-ineering, , too dictatorial and charges were preferred against him. He was subjected to an investigation into which were dragged all the asperities of the factions. The committee before whom it was ventillatcd, brought in two reports. A tight followed in the council chamber over their adoption. It was long-live- d and stubborn. One side fought stub-bornly for Farker's conviction aud removal, the other for his exoneration. Farker felt keenly that he was beinfj removd from his position and was fcorrined Vt thb disgrace. The other side was an-gered at the prospect of de-feat, and so the tragedy was helped along and driven to its culmination this morning. In the face of the overwhelming volume of strife that was sweeping over every beat and demoralizing every shift of tho police force, snapping off the frail prophets of duty like frail reeds before the simoom this morning's tragedy could not be easily averted. The feeling between is not often set aside by a handshake or any of the pan-tomimic ceremonies over the glare of the "dead past," nor were the principals in this affair mi exception. They were pres-ent at a liberal convention two years ago next February. voted in a manner in which Parker did not concur and scarce had it ad-journed when they met at Smith's drug store corner. A few healed words were exchang-ed t- - .i C but the matter apparently died out ..id both maintained their positions on the police force. A vacancy occurred in the position of captain of police aud to that rank Patrolman Parker was sum-moned. The fact of his appointment seemed to raise disfavor in the ranks. lie was ap-parently always courteous but, advanced in years, probably yielded to his moods at, times when he became cross. It was during these sullen stages that the men took ex-ception to his mien and the row which led to the tragedy originated. One morning the captain awoke to find that twenty-fiv- e mem-bers of the force had taken up arms against him and that charges had been preferred. They were referred to the police, committee and an investigation that eat up the time in several weeks followed. In this Sergeant Donovan and Sergeant Ed. .lenney repre-sented the prosecution while with them ur. rayed all the members, with very few excep-tions, of the police forte. The committee to whom tiie investigation was referred were unable to unite on a report. The result was a split aud two reports were launched. They with those w ho fell into hi pathway and that he was .simply called upou now to relate the facts as they existed in his deplor-able case. lie relented. The Slayer's Version. "I'm in the custom of bringing down a paper each morning to one of the officers," si id Albright sinking upon the prison bunk, "ind this morning 1 forgot it, I went back after one and was returning when I met Parker. I saw that he had been drinking and that he, had his revolver; I i could see the butt of it saining uAder his hand. I bowed to him and quick-ened my walk, expecting to get by him and gt on to headquarters. ("Parker said, "AVhy don't you report here ? MI said, I have reported; I went up town to get a paper, and I'm, taking it down. "Parker said you're, a of a liar. i'But I have repprted, said I. Parker come yFtbcn and riuttiuai liis sixshocter to my utTJy pulle.cl it ;Oit. j It snapped the cart-ridge was bad. I caught hold of the barrel of the gun and shouted: 'Don't! Don't!" "He got the revolver out of my hand and hit me on tho head. I jumped back and Parker again tried to shoot. The gun snap-ped but didn't go off, and every time it snapped I shot. Parker feel on his knees and then I stopped shooting. He seemed to get miid at his gun because it wouldn't go otj and broke it apart, the shells falling on the ground on one side and the gun on the other. Parker then fell over and Hilton and McCurdy took charge of me." The slayer of Captain Parker had been re-moved to an apartment in .Mrs. Merrill's residence when the reporter ealled on him the second time;. His head had been bouu.l up in surgeon's linen, and he was lying on a bed, his lower extremities concealed beneath the bed clothes, and listened ncrvousiy to tiie account of the tragedy as portrayed in the extra edition of Tin: Times. Already under a terrible mental strain, Albright was agaiu overcome by hysteria, and it was with the utmost exertion that those in attendance succeeded iu quietiug him. "You don't know what it is," sobbed the prisoner, "to have a man's blood upon your hands; I told him uot to do it, not to do it." He was suffering the agony of the reign of death when the reporter retired and again stood in police headquarters, over which a dense aud impregnable gloom was hanging. The IJead Mao's Wife. "Where is Billy V This was the explosive inquiry made by a woman as she strode into police headquar-ters and hastily canvassed the narrow room. It was the widow of Captain Parker. The otlicer who wheeled in the re-volving chair that sat at the sergeant's desk looked at the solicitous face of the wife w hose divorce had been heralded in those pistol shots and then turned to the blotter that laid with open pages before him again He was not disciplined in the work of breaking news of this kind. Again the poor woman called for "Billy" and the response come that he was idiot. She reeled, staggered back and j The Head Captain. When The Times reporter arrived at the scene of the shooting Captain Parker's re-mains were lying ou the floor of the police court room. The wild abandon iu which they laid, the disarrangement of the cloth-ing, the white and pinched features were faithful records of the awfully fatal en-counter which had taken place only a sort time before. His mouth was held by a bandage and his teeth were set. Hi9 hands laid list- - lessly on the floor, where they had been thrown when the chill hand of death was laid on him. When first seen he had all his clothing on, and his lower extremities were partially covered by an old b.anket. Some one had unbuttoned his outer coats, vest and trousers to make a superficial ex-amination of his wounds. The trousers were open and the shirt and undershirt slightly raised. This disclosed a cruel and gaping wound in the abdomen on the right side, on a line and about three inches removed from the navel. There could be no doubt what caused his death, for if no other mis-sile from Allbright's weapon had reached its mark, this alone was sullicient. At precisely 8:30 o'clock the undertaker's i wagou drove up. Coroner Harris was al- -' ready on the ground. 4 A cheap coffin was taken from the car-- I j riage which only dead people rido in, and I the rcrauiui of him who was stalwart and went, uirougn a great many raninicauons and the investigation was hanging as a dead letter when Councilman Follaud changed his tactics aud introduced au ordinance, to abol-ish the oflice of captain of police. This was knocking the props from nnder the platform on which Parker stood and the structure was to fall this morning. It fell; so did the old man who stood upon it. In the meantime the troubles in the ranks continued to become more serious. They --vere aggrivated on street corners and in bar rio.i. In fact wherever the members of the factio-v- s met. Parker's tenure of office was expiring with each issue of the daily-pape-r in which was published the ordinance abolishing the ollice of csytain of police. That he was becoming more desperate each hour there was no doubting and, perhaps he sought comfort in the glass. Ou the other hand the luminaries of the opposing faction were exulting over the enemy's downfall. This fact was betrayed in a hun-dred triiles. Where the name of the captain appeared to an order posted in head-quarters, the pencil was drawn through it. 11 is attention was called to his dethronement and his disgrace at every opportunity. The derision of his adversaries became one living nightmare, and that bloodshed was inevitable became reasonably certain long ago. It was the. bloody issue of battle. The administration is to blame for it. The Scene of Death. The corner of State and First South, which fate seemed to have selected for its enact-ment of the sequel to the tight iu police cir-cles, is hooded on one side by rows of frost-strippe- d locusts aud ou tho other sido 9 then rushed in vain scarcn lor ncr pulseless companion who at that moment was lying lifeless in the morgue. A moment later she was made to realize all and sank to the ilir unconscious.

There was an unbroken column of human-ity sweeping cataract-lik- e to the morgue from the moment the body of tiie dead was deposited there. Stretched on a slab Captain Parker presented a picture of calm and quiet blumber. His lips were closed in peaceful resignation. There was not a mark upou his face to denote the cause of death. The temporary shroud removed, nn al-most matchless physique was revealed. On the right side of the abdomen blood was oliing ?com a bullet wound. There was an-other in his trm, that fell shattered and limp to his side. With these exceptions, it was Captain Parker in the peace and resignation of perfect plumber. For fifty-on- e years he had led r.n active life, first as a seafarer, in which role he girdled the globe, then as a seaman in the American navy, again as a member of the New Tcsk lire department, subsequently as a sol-dier, then as a citizen and tinally as a police oiliccr, iu which role he was dismasted and sent before the call of the ldl-ho- y to his Maker.
