Blood Stained Razor and Two Revolvers Found The razor used by Goldman was found, broken In two, under a chair by the po- Hce. The handle was. splintered, and the blade was covered with blood. Goldman's revolver, a blued steel weapon of 38 caliber, was lying on the floor within a few feet of the man's outstretched right hand, and Snow's revolver was lying near the door, out of which he staggered after Goldman had fallen to the floor. Both revolvers were of a cheap type, and were still warm when picked up by the of fleers.

John Kelly, special officer st the Or pheum theater, volimteered his services Immediately after the shooting, and until the regular policemen came, held back the crowds at the door of the church. He remained at this post while Inspector Tom Wood, Inspector Bock and the other men sent from headquarters conducted their Investigation. Terrified by rumors that spread about the streets, the church people attempted to force an entrance, but were held back by the special policeman, who permitted no one to enter. Rev. Herbert Jump arrived and addressed ths crowd, telling what had Happened, and that, on account of the tragedy, no prayer meeting would be held.

Tells of Strange Infatuation of Adolph Goldman 'ActlngChlef of Police Peterson told of the events leading up to the shooting this morning. He said: "Snow was a graduate of an eastern University, and a man of refinement and cultrue. In his better moments this affair was utterly distasteful to him, and he tried in vain to break away from It. "This was one of the strangest in tarnations that could be Imagined. Much has been said about It that was false.

The facts will never be known. "Snow was a good mayor and a good auditor. Nothing could be said about his conduct of his office. He had the respect of the community. SCANDAL BREAKS.

"Then this affair began to gain publicity and the shooting occurred In San Francisco. The publicity and the scandal hurt him, both for his own sake, and that of his fumlly. But Goldman was a man of lesser refinement, and he was possessed of this strange infatuation. "Two weeks ago Snow came here, told where he was, and that he was tired' ot being pursued. He said he would kill Goldman If the man continued to bother him, as that was the only way to settle the matter finally.

"Snow went to the district attorney's office and asked for protection. He had his mall received through my office. About' a week ago I sent for Goldman, and had a coneference with the two men In mv office. They agreed to let each other alone, but Goldman did not keep his promise. 'PHONES FOR HELP, "Last Monday Snow called me on the telephone from the First National bank pulldlng, and asked that an officer he sent- there.

He had seen Goldman waiting for him below. I sent the man and Goldman went away. "Goldman hired this man Wyner, telling him that he had loaned Snow andwbls daughter money, and wanted to recover it. Wyner did not even know Snow's name, and had no Idea of the trouble is which he was mixing." "Goldman met Snow when Snow was mayor. Goldman was a good business man, and had a store In Washington street between Eighth and Ninth streets.

He has wealthy relatives In China, and wished to travel there. Ho came to the office of Mayor Snow to get a letter from him that would make It possible for him to gain Introductions to certain officials that would facilitate his plans for travelling. "That was the way the two men met. The strange association resulted Immediately from Goldman's extraordlnarv Infatuation, which commenced from their first meeting."

When the former Mayor returned to Oakland Goldman met him at the station and the nalr went to Snow's home.

Goldman attacked enow as tney were about to enter the house, beating him severely. Goldman, explained that Snow owed him money and that financial matters formed the basis of their trouble. Snow declared that Goldman was Insane. "For the past year I have lived in dread of the man." said Snow.

GOLDMAN BLAMED Excerpts from letters which passed between ex-Mayor Snow and Goldman during the last two weeks were given by Acting Chief Walter J. Petersen today as follows: From Goldman to Snow, undated, written on Palace Hotel stationery: "I cannot stand the continual misery for which you are responsible. I have prayed God to put an eiftl to It all. Either way, I am ready. God knows I can't stand it any ionger.

I believe it Is preferable to end It all than to endure the misery of having you threaten me with proceedings to place me in the Insane asylum. You may hear from this matter another way within two days and from another source. God knows I am not responsive. I have done the best I could." Goldman to Snow, undated, on Hotel fit. Mark, stationery.

"I have no desire to see yon again. Let us end It all. If I meet yon on the street we will not bow. hut if you are lonenome and want to see me you can telephone." Goldman to Snow, undated: "You must see me, or I will not be responsible for what happens. I cannot endure the situation.

You owe It to me to see me. Yon had no right to take this matter up wHJi Captain Petersen and the police. This is between us." From Snow to Goldman, dated March 7: "Xo person in your position could expect, or have right to eipfVt, any consideration from me. Your Insane attacks upon me with guns and razors show that my blood and my life has been spent for you without avail. The attacks of your trouble have not ceased or become less In fury.

"I have nlade every arrangement for your appearance before the lunacy commission. Should you escape commitment' you will be arrested for crime. Should yon escape conviction I shall kill you. I wish always to avoid this last, but I am fully prepared. "Should you come to tlTbt side of the bay or bother me the above order will be carried out to the letter." There are many portions of the correspondence which Acting Chief Petersen suppresses In reading the excerpts, refusing to divulge the nature of the expurgated Items, his chin.

Between the there had been, very little left of his face. LOCATED BY SLEUTH. The shooting In the church last night came when Goldman finally located Snow through Reginald Wyner, a private detective of Ban Francisco. Two weeks ago Snow came to Oakland and letters were exchanged In which the two men threatened each other with death. Snow told Acting Chief Walter J.

Petersen that he was tired of being harassed and that he Intended to end the whole affair, one way or the other, In the city where the two men had originally met. Snow was a member of the Congregational church, and after coming to Oakland he sought the Rev. Herbert A. Jump and asked advka The Rev. Jump gave Snow his sympathy and counsel and Snow attended the prayer service in the church.

A few days ago Goldman located Snow In Oakland through the private detective, and later learned of his visits to the church. Early last evening, before the c6m-tnencement of the meeting, Goldman and Wyner, whom he had hired to shadow his Intended victim, went to the church. Goldman watched one entrance to the chapel while Wyner was stationed at the other door. Goldman had accurately described Snow to his assailant. Snow went to the church shortly after 7 o'clock and entering the chapel, took a seat in the second aisle from the door, removing his hat and sitting In silent prayer for a few moments.

At the time C. S. Lewis, sexton of the churoh, and Mrs. S. Cassidy were standing about sixteen feet away by a stove.

Snow entered through the door watched by Wyner, Without removing his hat Goldman walked swiftly across the rear of the chapel room and placed himself beside Snow. Goldman commenced to speak to the former mayor earnestly, urging him to leave the chapel with him, according to the dying statement made by Snow-later at the Receiving Snow kept his eyes fixed on the altar in the front of the chapel and refused to answer the man who had trailed him so many years! Then Goldman threw back his coat and displayed a revolver and again said: "I want you to come with me. You've got to come. with me. I must talk with you." FATAL REITS AL.

Snow shook his head in negation. A moment later Goldman flashed the revolver from his pocket and fired three times In rapid succession at his former friend. In less than two minutes the chapel of the church was turned Into a Shambles." From far up near the altar to the door, out through the vestibule and over the lawn, blood was trailed. In the aisle leading from the seat occupied by Snow the floor was fairly saturated. A broken raor and two revolvers were on the floor, and Goldman toy In his death Outside on the lawn, Snow was struggling in his blood, and at the opposite end of the church Mrs.

Cassidy, a fear-crazed woman, was screaming frantically for aid. It is thought that after emptying hlg revolver In the five shots at Snow, Goldman drew the razor, and when 8now fired at him he had Strength enough left to attack the ex-mayor with It. ARTERY SEVERED. Goldman's death was to the first shot fired, the on which cut the carotid artery. Two shots following took effect in the right and left sides of the chest.

Any one of the three shots might have been fatal. Goldman was dead before he was removed from the church. Acting Chief Petersen, who had been a friend of the ex-mayor for some years, took Snow's dying statement, which was as follows! "I have never injured any living (Continued From Page 1.) but Snow, with two' bullet wounds in-his body and his ace bleeding from 'a razor slash laying open the entire left side of his jaw" and check staggered with almost superhuman strength from the chapel and made his way to the lawn outside. Snow died about 2:30 this morning after making a dying statement to Acting Chief of Police Walter J. Petersen, in which he declared that he had never harmed any human being, and that although he had killed Gold man, it had been in self-defense The duel between the twqfmen was a last of a series of fights in which they had engaged for the last ten years, in one of which Snow was almost fatally wounded, and in several of which 'Snow disarmed his assailant in jtime to prevent a fatality.

The jtwo men alternated in their relations between friendship and the most bitter enmity, and both the closeness of the friendship and lthe death-like hatred which suc ceeded it formed one of the grave (puzzles to their acquaintances. TWO WITNESS TRAGEDY. The tragedy of last night took jplace in the chapel of the First 'Congregational church at Clay and Thirteenth streets, the rchurch of which Snow had at one time been president of the board of trustees. The duel was witnessed by only two persons jC. S.

Following the duel the police were called and kept the of the congregation who fivere assembling for the Wednesday night prayer, meeting, from entering the blood drenched chapel where Goldman was gasping out his last breath. The Rev. Herbert A.

Jump, the pastor, hastened to the church and dismissed the crowd of frightened worshipers who had gathered before the door, stating that on. account of the tragedy there would be no meeting. The tragedy had been impending for some, two weeks, during which Snow bad been 'living in hiding in the Verritt hotel, Ninth and Franklin, streets, under an assumed During this time the two men had exchanged letters in which threat! of murder were made by both, and a consultation had been Jield in the office of Acting Chief of Police Walter J. in which each had agreed not to interfere with the other. Acting Chief Petersen acted as far as possible as a protector for Snow, end all the letters to Snow were tddressed to Petersen and passed 'o to Snow, who was in hiding.

"God knows I can't stand It any longer," Goldman wrote to Snow a few days before the murder. "Xou left me and threatened to have me iput in the Insane asylum. I hare prayed God to put an end to it all. illther way Is preferable to this continual misery. I have done the best I could."

"I did all I 'could to ward it off, but It was almost Inevitable. It has been almost a.

certainty for many years. "Snow was a good mayor: He was m. rood friend. The strange associa tion of these two men was one that has perhaps never before been duplicated in any place or time. Cnly four men know the details of that affair, and two of these are dead.

Neither of the two alive will unseal their lips. $now made me captain of detectives and stood my friend. I shall remain 'silent as to this matter." FAILS TO RALLY. Following an operation performed at midnight in the Receiving hospital by Dr. W.

H. Irwin, Snow failed to rally and he died at 2:30 o'clock this morning without regaining consciousness. Owing to the seriousness of the many wounds and their location In vital parts, the operation was a most delicate one. Dr. Irwin was assisted by Chief Burgeon O.

IX Hamlin and Brs. A. C. Smith and G. Relnle.

Steward J. J. Travers was on duty and hief Steward Sam Pratt was called in for the operation. The wounds Inflicted upon Snow by Goldman consisted of a gunshot In the middle of his upper Hp, the bullet emerging below Ms right ear. An other bullet struck him In the right thigh, ranging upward into the abdo men.

It pierced the intestines in twenty different places and, according to the surgeons, was the Immediate cause of death.

The date for the services will pot be' set until he receives word from Snow's daughter, who is on her way here from Nevada. Detective Trails Snow to Church and His Death SAN FRANCISCO, March 28. That Adolph Goldman had been searching for Ronald W. Snow, for several weeks was made known today by the local police and by R. Wyner, a private detective residing at 447 Eddy street.

It was AVVner who finally located Snow for Goldman and notified Goldman that his victim was In the First Congregational church st Oakland last night. According to the local Goldman endeavored to get them to locate Snow. He reported to Chief White that his room on California street had been entered by Snow and asked that Snow be arrested. Detectives were detailed on the ease but were unable to locate Snow. It Is now supposed that Goldman made a false report to the' police for the purpose of learning the whereabouts of his former friend.

SEARCHES FOR SNOW. Wyner was originally hired by Goldman who, however, did not give the defective his real name, on Saturday, March 16, and the detective searched everywhere for Snow until he finally learned of his practice of attending the First Congregational church at the Wednesday evening prayer meeting, and Informed Goldman of the fact. Wyner this morning, told of his connection with the affair. "This man came to see me at my hotel on Saturday, the 16th, having been led to seek me out by an advertisement In a morning paper," declared Wyner. "He told me he had a financial matter to settle with R.

W. Snow, If he could hut find him, but he old not tell me that Snow was former mayor of Oakland and I did not learn that until last Saturday. He paid me daily my fee In advance and promised be a bonus of $E0 If 1 could locate Snow. I first looked for him at the Grand Union (hotel In this city where I found he Had been a week before. Then I went over on Regent street, In Berkeley, where he had some relations, but that was a false clue as he didn't go thee.

GOLDMAN IMPATIENT. "Goldman was very Impatient over the delay. He used to come and see me every day for a report and seemed to think I could find a man whom I had never seen almost at a moment's notice. Finally I learned that Snow got his mall at the Oakland postofflce at the general delivery window, I watched for him there and last Monday he came. This was the first time I had ever seen him and I followed him about the streets for a long time until he entered a building which I thought must be his lodgings and I thought I had hltrt located.

He must have gone out by another door for I missed him and I didn't see him again. "On the previous Wednesday I had watched for' him at the First Congregational church, but he didn't go to prayer meeting that night. I was pretty sure from my investigations, however, that he usually went, and I told Goldman to be on hand. I had stationed myself nearby last night snd 1 saw Snow go into the church. In a few minutes Goldman came along and I conveyed the information that Snow was there by a nod of the head.

I Spoke to Goldman afterwards. He' -palii me my fee for every day except lite last three. "I did not know What he wanted Sno for. If I had I would never have mixed in the affair, lie told me that It was a financial difficulty and I believed him. He did not Inform me who he was, but as he paid me every day but the last three I had no cause for complaint.

The fee was a pretty stiff one and I was satisfied." Sexton Lewis Gives Graphic Account of the Fatal Duel Sexton Lewis today gave ths following account of what happened In the church: -I was standing talking with Mrs. Cassidy, about fifteen feet from Mr. Snow, when Goldman "Came ii and walked over to him. Goldman did not remove his hat, and that attracted my attention. I saw him engage Snow In earnest conversation, but Snow would not respond.

Then Goldman put his hand to his hip porket, as though Indicating that he waa armed. "I started to walk over toward the two men, to urge that there be no altercation there. Suddenly, when I had gone only a step, Goldman pulled his revolver from hhj pocket and fired three shots I saw Snow plunge forward up the alale. turning as he neared ths altar, and falling face downward with' his head toward his assailant. His arms were wrapped about his head, as thong! to protect It, and he was emitting' s'-' sound something betwen a wild cry and a moan, "Snow lay there moaning for something Ilk fifteen or twenty seconds: -I started for Goldman, thinking the man had not been wounded, and that Goldman had fired uslrtfc.hla.nk cartridges to frighten the man.

THREATENS SEXTON. "Goldman saw me coming toward him and turned Jha smoking revolver upon me. At that' moment Snow commenced to struggle to his feet and Goldman turned back to him. "As Snow arose Goldman fired at him twice, and then rushed at him with the rasor', which he pulled from his pocket. Snow had taken the revolver from his pocket as he drew himself up from tnt floor, assisting himself by holding to a chair.

"With deadly aim, made certain by-a last determined call upon Ills- falling faculties, Snow drew a bead on his assailant and fired. Then he fired twice again. One bullet took effect In Goldman's neck, severing ths caratold artery, and ths blood spurted from his throat. T.ers were too many revolvers speaktn at once, and I ran from the place to tail the perllce. "After telephoning for the police I came back again.

Goldman was lying at the end of the aisle nearest the north door. He was bleeding profusely, and breathing heavily. I the trail of blood outside, through the vestibule, down the steps, across the sidewalk, and over the lawn to the place where Snow lay blending and guplng, A few min-' company the former Mayor. several occasions Snow was forced to repel with force the attacks of Goldman and to take revolvers and razors from him. Snow was arrest In San Francisco In 1903 on a charge of criminal libel on complaint of Goldman.

This case was compromised and the charge dismissed. A serious climax to the relations between the men came on June. .13, 1904, when Goldman shot Snow In the Clarendon hotel, San Francisco. pair had quarreled and Snow had brandished a revolver and threatened Goldman In a house at 29 Grant avenue. On the night SnowJ was snot tie had been out walking with his daughter Gertrude.

They were pro ceeding along Post street on their way hom when Goldman appeared. The latter commanded Snow to accompany him to the Clarendon and Snow obeyed. His daughter followed a short distance In the rear. At the hotel Snow remonstrated with Goldman and begged him to leave him forever. Snow started to walk from the lobby fit the hotel to the end of ths corridor, when Goldman drew a revolver and began firing.

-The first two missed their mark and the third bullet brought Snow to the floor. Then Goldman rushed to where his victim lay snd sent two more bullets into his body. GETS B-YEAR 8ENTENCE. Snow lingered between life and death for several weeks and finally recovered from his wounds. Goldman was tried for assault to kill and convicted.

He was sentenced to serve five years in San Quentln. Vpon Snow's recovery he issued a statement In which he said that he had been persecuted to the limit by Goldman and that friends had advised him to kill the man. He acknowledged that the trouble between Goldman and him resulted because of his own companionship with his daughter, whom Goldman disliked. Miss Snow had been forced to leave town and live In Santa Clara. She was preparing to leave for Manila when her father was shot.

Goldman's increased by reading a letter that had been written to Snow by his daughter. In which sffb expressed her opinion of the man who was Causing all the trouble. He had found the letter in the former Mayor's pocket. TROUBLE AT RAWHIDE. Goldman asserted that Snow's friendship had caused him great financial losses and had practically Impoverished him.

It developed during the trial that the two men had had many disputes and that violence was done on several occasions when razors were wielded and revolvers drawn. When Goldman was sent to prison Snow left the state and went to live with his daughter in Nevada. Goldman served his time and was released from San Quentin early In 1909. He went to live In San Francisco. He learned that Snow was at Rawhide.

with his daughter, and went there. Again he took up the old svstem of annoyance and persecution. The condition became unbearable, and the citizens of the town, hearing of the affair, ordered Goldman to leave, under penalty of being tarred and feathered. Soon afterward Snow went to Chicago. Goldman was in ths hotel lobby waiting for him -when he got there.

Snow moved to a house in the suburbs. He came home one night and found Goldman standing on the front porch. Disheartened the former official hurried to the Coast His nemesis arrived a few days later and took up the trail again at the St. Francis Hotel. Snow waa compelled to call upon the police for protection.

Once during their acquaintanceship Snow had Goldman arrested on an insanity charge. When Judge Kerrigan, then sitting on the superior bench of this county, heard the story he ordered Goldman's release from ths detention hospital. FRIENDS INTERVENE. During the last year the two men had been in each other's company a good part of the time. Friends tried to arrange matters so that the strange friendship could be discontinued, but all efforts along this line proved unavailing.

Goldman appeared before Chief of Police Whit of this city nearly two weeks ago and asked for protection against Snow, stating that he was afraid that Snow was aolng to do him bodily harm. Because of the fact that Goldman was unable to present what appeared to the chief to be practical proof to that effect, no action was taken. "Goldman appeared to be unwarrantably excited when he came before me more than a week ago," said Chief of Police WHite last night, "and he stated that he thought Snow might do him some injury. I questioned him as to his reasons for thinking so, and be was unable to advance any tangible reason. I thought at the time that the man was suffering from some form' of mental hysteria, inasmuch as I was acquainted with the relations of the two In the past." Snow Berved one term as mayor of Oakland, taking the offics In 1900 and serving until his successor was elected two years later.
