The Murderer Fled and Fired from His Hiding Place on His Pursuers Before Giving Himself Up—¥is Story of the Tragedy. Wire Prams, N. Y., Nov, 19, —Louls White, a wealthy and well known resident of Armonk, Westchester county, and who lives alone a long distance from neighbors, was shot Sunday evening by William See, a youth of the vicinity, while Mr. White was sitting in his home. The weapon used was a shotgun, and the right side of White's face, ear and eyes were carried away by the charge. White, however, retained con- sciousness, and as he fell his assassin re- marked: *“Curse you, I have fixed you just as I intended.” The Murderer Lodged in Jail. White staggered to his feet and reached for his pistol, when See made his escape. The injured man, though bleeding profuse ly, armed himself to prevent further attack from his assailant and ran to Farmer Knowlton’s, a distance of half a mile. Here he was cared for and a messenger dispatched for a physician. Deputy Sheriff Bradsell was notified, and with his assistauts and the enraged citizens hunted the vicinity for White's assailant. He was not caught till morning, when the deputy and his posse dislodged the boy from a cleft of rocks after an exchange of shots Bee was lodged in the White Plains jail about noon. An Interview With the Assassin. To a reporter he made the following state- ment: “I went to White's house to get warm; was quite cold at the time from hunting, and did not let the hammer of my gun down for fear I could not control it with my benumbed hands. I soon fell asleep, and suppose in some way I discharged the gun. That is all I know about it.” “But why did you run away" was asked. “I was scared and I ran like blazes.” See isabout 16 years of age, and is al ready a hardened criminal. The circum- stances indicate his purpose was to murder White for his money. Early on the day of the shooting See had shadowed White with a club in his hands. He will be examined before Justice Haviland. White isstillalive, but cannot survive the day. Working for Chicago.
