ISHOT TO DEATH BV A LUNATIC
Love crazed youth kills Judge Emory of Seattle, while
in search of his sweetheart to slay her? Son of
prominent citizen the murderer
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan]
Seattle, July 9? Chester Thompson,
a youth, 19 years of age, son of attorney
Will H. Thompson formerly chief
counsel for the Great Northern on Sat
urday night shot to death Judge George
Meade Emory at the latter's home in
this city. The tragedy was the result
of a lore affair which it is thought has
turned the head of the young man. The j
object of his infatuation is Char
lotte Whittlesey, niece of Judge Emory,
acd daughter of Charles Whittlesey,
lormerlv city treasurer. The young
woman has been living with her uncle
.'or some time. Young Thompson wis
lesperately infatuated with; her and
had made himself something of a
nuisance about the house, in so much
that he had been forbidden the house
He continued his visits, however, aDd
took every ^opportunity to see the
young woman clandestinely until the
youth came , to be regarded by the
i young woman as burden to her life.
Positive orders were given that he
should not bg permitted near the house.
On Saturday evening Judge Meade
was silting with his faintly on the
porch m front of his residence when
young Thompson, hapless, coatless and
breathing h?rd came running up the
street and made a da?h into the house,
calling his cweeth.arl by name, "Char
lotte!" "Charlotte."
Judge Emory rose quickly and fol
lowed the boy intending to eject him
from the house. The boy ran up the
stairs and Judge Emory followed com
manding him to stop. At the head of
the stairs the boy turned, drew a re
volver from his pocket and began de
liberately firing at the judge who was
[close behind him on the stairs. Three
shots were fired, the first two striking
Judge Emory in the lung and the arm
pit respectively. The third went wild
as the victim fell to the floor.
The youth then ran on, entered the
room where the young children of
Judge Emory had been put to bed and
putting up a barricade for an hour and
a half he defied the police, declaring he
would kill the children if they broke in
the door.
Finally the boy's father arrived and
cai line upon him to surrender he did
so and allowed himself to be taken to
I the lock-up.
! Judge Emory died at one o'clock this
1 morning. He was conscious through
out and to the end. He made no refer
j ence to the tra:edy but endeavored to
console his wife and children and at
the last kissed them goodbye.
There is no douot but the mind of
young Thompson is unbalanced. It is
known that his intention was to ki t
the girl and then commit suicide.
