Downs Suydom's Office Mate, Who Grap- ' pled With Him Two Shots Were Fired, One Bullet Going Through the Window, the Other Striking Buydam Just Below the Heart. (By Leased Wire to The Times) New York Dec. 19 Harry Suydam, a curb broker, of Plalnfleld, N. J., with offices at No. 39 Broad Btreet, was shot and fatally wounded. today by J. C. Lumsden, an inventor, of 315 Mtnat o(At Tim ehVI Inff Wflfl uune wane uuuiaueii was niruggiiuB with George A. Downs, Suydam's of fice mate, who had grappled -.; with him. Two shots were fired, one bul let going tnrougn a wmaow. ine other struck Suydam juBt under the heart.":. The motive for the shooting was a mystery.' Suydam was unconscious when taken to the Hudson street hos pital and could tell nothing of the trouble between him and the in ventor.; Downs, who was in the office when Lumsden entered, did not hear his conversation with Suydam. Lums den doggedly refused to make any statement after his arrest. ' The office occupied by Suydam and Downs overlooks the curb market In Broad street, where Snydam. operat ed. He bad been out in the street. In charge of the office. Lumsden en tered the office two or three times be fore 10 o'clock. Downs, busy at his desk paid lit tle attention to Lumsden, who kept his right hand in his side pocket of the coat In which he carried his re volver.' '. . When Suydam entered shortly af ter 10 o'clock and went to his desk, Lumsden arose and walked over to him. Downs looked up when he heard the inventor begin to talk ex citedly and In loud tones to Suydam. Suddenly Suydam jumped from hisi seat and cried out to Downs: "Grab this fellow, George, he's go ing to shoot me." j Two shots were fired in quick suc cession. The first shattered the wln dow. The second struck Suydam, who fell to the floor with a cry of .pain,' William H. Collins, a printer, with offices on the third floor, heard the. shots and rushed down stairs. He went to the aid" of Downs and both men grabbed Lumsden, forcing him into a chair. The crowd of curb brokers and others in Broad street began to throng into the building, and in a few minutes two policemen arrived. " j Downs said the man offered no ex planation whatever of his attempt on, the life of Suydam. I Suydam was about fifty years old and one of the best known brokers in ' the curb market. A telephone message was sent to Mrs. Suydam at Plalnfleld and she came to New York at once. The sur geons at the Hudson street hospital performed an operation on Suydam Immediately to remove the bullet, but said that there was but slight chance for his recovery. Lumsden comes from Raleigh, N. C. Half a dozen policemen under Cap tain Hojan took charge of Lumsden and police reserves were called to clear the way througbrthe turbulent crowd that gathered In Broad and Wall streets. They seemed bent on taking the prisoner away from the police, and as he was led through the crowd he was kicked and beaten and hooted at. He was considerably bat tered by the time he reached the sta tion house. ,-, Statement "by Lumsden. After his arrest Lumsden made a statement, in which he said h was ' attacked by Suydam, Downs and Col- lins before he drew his revolver. He aid: "I am the inventor of an electrical vibratory massage device and last April I was Introduced to Suydam and told that he would be a good man to promote the invention. I turned over my patents and papers mA nlmi trt him mnA rnr.iilVQff notes in return. A company War Incorpor ated and a man named Jekjns was - put in as president. "I never received any dividends from the invention and was put off from time to time when I asked for money. ; "I had been promised $650 at his office this morning and I went there to get It. When Suydam came la we went over to the window to talk about the matter, and he called the other man over. The first thing I knew the three men jumped on me and began to beat me and throw me about the room. I don't know how I happened to get my revolver out and shoot. I did not go to his office with any Idea of shooting him." After making this statement to Captain Hogan at the John street sta tion, Lumsden . was taken to the Tombs police court and held to await the result of Suydam's Injuries. A Raleigh Man. John C. Lumsden was born and reared In Raff igh and has parents ' and several uncles and cousins living ! here now. His father Is Mr. Charles j F. Lumsden, who lives at 216 north ; Harrington street. He is a travelling man and The Times was unable to reach him today. Through a rela tive, however, we learn that the address given above Is the address of the Raleigh man and he is sure tiiat he is the one who did the shooting. Although Lumsden has been away from Raleigh for about six years, there are many people here who re member him and he has a great many friends In the city, who will ragret to hear of the unfortunate occurrence of this morning. He was at one time connectod with the First Regiment band here. After leaving Raleigh be spent about five years in Birmingham, Ala. While there he Invented an electrical hair brush and massage machine that is said to have been a great success and paid well. He.went to New York last March. He was about thirty years old and married, hl3 wife being! a Miss Miller, of South Carolina. He was regarded as a very quiet man and those who knew him say. that there must have been some great provoca tion to cause him to shoot a man. STATUS OF RATE Richmond, Va., Dec. 19 Judge R. R. Prentiss, of the' State Corporation Com, mission, in a statement defining the present status of tho 2-cent rate fight in Virginia says: "There has been no proposition from anybody to make a compromise. There has been no secret Inquiry. The Cor poration Commission was organized to hear any complaints that the railroads may make or that the people may make at uny time. The railroads appear dissatisfied with the operations under the 3-cent rate and seem to wish the commission to reopen the question. They also desire to Introduce new evidence and hope to be able to con vince the commission that they should have a higher rate. They will fight for the best rate they can get without waiving any of their legal rights." The railroads. In the event a new hearing is granted them by the com mission, will not ask any particular rate but will endeavor to secure the best terms they can.

ANNIS WILL BE RECALLED Wife of Murdered Man is Now Looked Upon as Strong Witness MAY TELL THE STORY Mrs. Annis is Said to Have ft Letter From Thornton Hains Which' Was a Warning if Not ft Threat When She Goes on the Stand Again She is Expected to Go Back to the Time of the Conception of the Murder. (By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, Dec. 19 Mrs. William E. Annis, widow of the man who was i shot by Captain Peter C. Hains, Jr., i U. S. A., at the Bayside Yacht Club, ! will be recalled to the stand by the ' prosecution in the trial of Thornton j Jenkins Hains, Indicted for complicity j in the murder when the trial Is reBum i ed on Monday. Mrs. Annis has nqw loomed up as the ! stror, Test witness for the prosecution. The . testimony of several other wit nesses of the state has been riddled by John F. Mclntyre, chief counsel for Hains, but there is a story current today that Mrs. Annis has a letter written by T. Jenkins Hains to her husband which was a warning, If not a threat. Mrs. Annis is expected to go Kont at- Ilia Itmd n thA uilv n. u 1 ine JL (lie Uliv.cjll.iv.11 of the tragedy the time when, it is alleged, T. Jenkins Hams revealed to his brother ' thft pnntnln. the flpnniijil ( connecting Mrs. Peter C. Hains, Jr.'s, iname with that of Annis. Justice Crane up to this time has closely guarded every effort on the part of the counsel for the defense to get on the records the stories of dissipation and Intrigues at Fort Ham ilton which preceded the killing of An nis. ... If Mrs. a.ni haa sucba letter- from. T. Jenkins Hahis; it ' lv compelled ' ;to go back to the time Cantata Hains decided to do harm to Annis, these scandals will be brought to ilght. Mrs. i Annis may not know them, but Mr. j Mclntyre has heard them, and It is ' expected he will draw her out on so cial functions at least functions which appeared significant to her at the fort, and then; by Introducing other wit nesses, the bomb of scandalous doings will explode. It Is said that more than one man of high standing in the army will be powder-burned should there be such an explosion. Mr. Mclntyre is determined to get at the full story the stories of the nights of orgies, the days of repose, the smoking and drinkng among men and women, the card playing, the quar rels, the gossip and everything else. If Mrs. Annis has such a letter from T. Jenkins Hains it may go hard with Hains, but it will go pretty hard also with certain men and women who took part in affairs at the fort during the absence of Captain Peter C. Hains in the Phllipp'nes, when it is charged Annis came into Hains' home, stole his wife's love, and besmirched his honor. Up to this time the chief weapon of the state is the evidence that T. Jenkins Hains levelled his revolver at members of the Baysidu Yacht Club while the brother was pumping bullets into the body of Annis. Another strong point in the prose cution's evidence is the statement that T. Jenkins Hains made Inquiry, just before the shooting, when he and Cap ta'n Hains entered the Bayside Yacht Club, as to the whereabouts of Annis. More than once it has been testified he had Annis pointed out to him as the latter was coming Into the dock in the boot. Mr. Mclntyre has not been able to tear down these two props In the state's case, but tie did knock the pins from under three of the prosecutor's own witnesses when he made them swear ! they did not hear Thornton Hains threaten to kill if any one lnterferred , as testified to by Charles Blrchneld and others. Mr. Mclntyre already has I injpeted a strong Inference regarding the alleged Illicit relations between An. I nla and Mrs. Claudia Hains. (By Leased Wire to The Times.)
