OFFERED BRIBE TO POISON HIM row Only Question Whether Par ish Shot Toward Denipscy to Scare Him or Pistol Went Off Accidentally. The warrant against R. !. Parish, tho young man whose pistol killed J. K. Deinpsey In the office of the Sea board Air Line at Johnson street, was drawn today by City Attorney Snow. The charge in the warrant is murder, but there seems little doubt that the evidence will show that the killing was entirely accidental. The only question seems to be whether Parish Bred the pistol In the direction of Dempsey to scare him or was examining the weapon when It was accidentally discharged. If tho former, It appears that it would be murder In the second degree; if the latter, it would be manslaughter. The only witnesses seem to be the two boys. Richard Riddle and Wesley Squires, who were only partially awake In the room. They say they heard Par ish say he was going to shoot and scare the man asleep in the corner. Demp sey exonerated Parish before he died. Parish himself says he was examining the pistol to see if it was loaded when his arm hit the wall, and the weapon went off.

Instead of complying, the con ductor, quick as a Mash, knocked the revolver from the robber's hand, threw himself upon the man and bore him to the car Moor. The two men struggled fiercely while the passengers were In stantly In a phnic. Finally the dozen male passengers in the car came to the conductor's aid. and the robber was lit erally pinned to the: tloor. When Armstrong was reached at 12:50 a. in. a marshal boarded the train, and Truehart was tied hand and foot and taken to the station. He refused to talk except to berate the passengers for cowTfdke and to declare that Heywood was the only nervy one among them. The money and Jewelry was taken from him, and after more delay and confus ion among the excited passengers, the train continued. Truehart was taken to Glasgow on the next westbound train and at 3:50 this morning, not quite four hours after he boarded the eastbound train at Slater, he was placed in jali. The remains of Dempsey were sent to his home in Portsmouth Saturday night by W. 6. Parish, a brother of It. B, Parish, who did the shooting.

The players In this extraordinary tragedy of real life are each of them in teresting. Harry Thaw, the ever way ward son of rich and indulgent par ents, had become widely known throughout the country prior to the killing of Stanford White by reason of the publicity given to many of his es capades by the newspapers. His father, the late William Thaw, was one oil Pittsburg's richest men. He had early seen that Harry was not to be entrust ed with a large Income lest he give him self over to a life of luxurious idleness and liberty. So when the elder Thaw died he provided that Harry Thaw should have only $2"iOO a year. The bulk of the estate went to Mrs. William Thaw, whose indulgent love for her children was soon made apparent in the manner In which she lavished money upon them. Harry Thaw had but to ask whatever sum he chose and the mother gave it to him. He abandoned his $2,500 a year income from the estate to his valet. It Is said that young man's expenditures often averaged as high as fSO.COO and $100,000 a year. e Four or live years ago the family came into unusual prominence through the announcement of the engagement of Harry Thaw's sister to the Karl of Yarmouth. This young English noble man had been In America for two years or more at that time. He was enter tained at Newport and at the end of a successful season there, during which he had led the gay set in many amateur theatrical productions, he decided to go upon the professional stage to earn a livelihood in this country.
