ra. SSSs DREW A REVOLVER ON HER HUSBAND. Mrs. Ella D. Little Daughter Begged Her Not to Shoot Exciting Incident in Warrant Office Sequel to Domestic Quarrel.

i mi-, i Ml aasnLnrctt 3f nBBVyVLBf nr If JkBBL, 'L 1 1 1 'faiMHr- lliii MRS. ELLA D. MRS. TURNER YESTERDAY BREW A REVOLVER ON HER HUSBAND IN ASSISTANT PROSECUTING ATTORNEY JOHNSON'S OFFICE. One of tlie most dramatic scenes ever enacted In the office of Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Richard M.

Johnson at the Four Courts occurred yesterday morning, when Ella D. Turner of No. 3121 Chestnut street drew from her bosom a bulldog revolver and pointed it directly at her husband, Henry Turner, apparently with tho intention of shooting him. In the office at the time were Turner and ills 13-year-old daughter, Louine, Mrs. Turner and her father, jolin JlcFall, and Henry Johnson, the ton of the Prosecuting Attorney.

When Mrs. Turner and her father entered the room they were not aware of tho presence of Turner and his daughter. As boon as Mrs. Turner her husband she exclaimed, "There ha Is now!" andWlrew her revolver. None but the little girl noticed the pistol.

Springing between her mother and father, tha child screamed: "Don't shoot, mamma; don't shoot!" The cry of alarm directed all eyes to Mrs. Turner, and the gleam of tho rcvoher dazes them for an instant. Only an instant, however, as Henry Johnson, son of tho Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, grabbed tlie woman's arm and forced her to put away the weapon. M-f. Turner shoved the revolver under her jacket.

was so quietly done that Colonel Jonnson, who was sitting in the next room, was not attracted by the scene. A few minutes later when he came Into tho private otllco to Inquire Into tho troubles of flirt Turnprs ho k.ib infnrmpil itf tiifl tnrt I that Mrs. Turner was armed and demanded her revolver. She loosened her Jacket to gtvo it to him. when the guu fell to the floor.

Picking it up, Colonel Johnson handed it to McFall, her father, Willi tlu! auiuonl tiou that units lie kept it from his daugtller a homicide would likely result. Quarreled Tuesday Uvcninsr. The gathering of the Turners and their friends at the Four Courts yesterday was the result of a quarrel which occurred between the wife and husband at No. 3121 Chestnut street Tuesday evening, at which three or lour shots were tired by Archla Cowan, who lives at that address. Turner and his wife have been at odds for many months, and thu course of their domestic life has been so stormy at times that the aid of the courts had to be Invoked to restore peace.

Mrs. Turner has tiled suit for divorce several times, but each timo has relented ind withdrawn the suit. Some three weeks ago their troubles, again became acuto and Turner endeavored to get a. warrant against her husband for malicious destruction of property. The warrant was not issued, but about that time she filed unother suit Tor divorce, alleging cruelty.

Hearing: Given liy Interstate Commerce Commission in Xev" York. New York. Nov. 14. The Interstate Commerce Commission opened the hearing today in tho general post office complaint made by the Palmer Dock and the Hay Produce Board of Trade against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.

Fifteen days were given In which to sum up the cases and present briefs, and the case was adjourned. This hearing was followed by a general Inquiry into underbtlling of merchandise. In an effort on tlie part of the commission to learn to what extent under-billing was practiced. Robert C. Stcvenrort of the Trunk Lino Association wns first called, nnd stated that lie had found in New York from 13,000 to eases per month of misrepresentation ot Headache Pan.

Tuesday night Turner called at his wife's1 residence with a view of effecting a reconciliation. Ho was accompanied by a friend.Russell Baedel. llaedel first entered tho house and engaged Mrs. Turner In conversation. While this wan in progress Turner himself entered.

At this point the btorles of what occurred differ materially. Turner said he was talking to his wife trying to persuade her to withdraw the divorce suit, patch up the disputes of thu pubt and consent, withe sake of their children, to live together; that while urging her to such a course. Cowan appeared at tho door of the parlor and opened fire on him. Standing only a few feet from him. Turner avers that Cowan pointed a revolver directly at him, lirlng three or four shots.

Mrs. Turner said that her husband entered tho room and after she had refused to consent to live with him he tried to drag her from the houe bodily. She screamed murder, police and the like, when Cowan rushed In and fired blank sheds to frighten Turner, which, she adds, were entirely effective, as Turner retired as speedily as possible when the firing began. Went for Peace, Found "War. Baedel, who was in the house nt tho time the shooting began, frankly admits he doesn't know what took place.

"1 went there on an errand of reace; I found nothing but war," he said. "When the shooting commenced 1 beat a retieat through the rear of tho house. In going out 1 saw a young man standing in tlie hall wita a big butcher's knife, apparently ready tor business. I didn't stop long enough to see who It was." Mrs. Cowan, the mother of Archie Cowan, conducts the house, and Mrs.

Turner boards with her. Mrs. Cowan said: "Archie only fired to scare, and be accomplished his purpose beautifully, as everybody scampered at the first Fourth of July cartridge." A careful Inspection oftEo room in which tho shots were discharged failed to dlscluso any bullet marks on celling, walls or lloor. Both parties applied yesterday for warrants. Mrs.

Turner asked for and obtained a warrant against her husband for assault, while he asked for a similar warrant against Cowan. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Johnson said he would make further investigation beroro granting his request, as he was inclined to think tho cartridges vere blanks, in which case ho could not lssuo the warrant. Turner and his wife have been married fourteen years. She is the daughter of John McFall, who at one timo was Marshal of St. Louis.

They havo thrco children, ttwo daughters and a son. Tho eldest child, Louise, a beautiful girl of 13 years, is living with her father, who conducts a cigar store at No. COS Chestnut street. The otiier two children aro with their mother. Mrs.

Tur-nei's pister, Laura, married Richard Sylvester, who is now Chief of Police In Washington, D. C. tho description of freight, whereby a. lower rate was obtained than would bo possible otherwise. 31 r.

Stevenson testified that per cent of tho merchandise shipped out of New York was misdescribed, so tnat a lower freight rate might bo obtained than the shipper was entitled to. 31anager Joyco of tho Pennsylvania Railroad said that tho report ot the inspectors was not final; that the roads were notified of the change m.ide in tho billing, and they then decide whether the shipper or tho inspector had made tiio proper classification. Hu said that there were very few cases where ho could aay positively that tho shippers intentionally mlsicprcsented the character of tho freight shipped, and when tney did it was done at the mstancu of the merchants to whom the goods were shlrped. Nathan Guilford, generul traffic manager of the New York Central road, testified t.at lie knew of no cases In which large shippers who loaded on sidings mist eprcsented goods shipped. Where goods were misrepresented he was inclined to think It was generally done by occasional shippers, and in any cases this misrepresentation was not intentional, but was dono because they wero not fumiliar with the various classifications.

31r. Guilford further tated that it was expected that Frank Harriott, chairman ot the New York Grain Committee, would look after all grain which came into Buffalo for shipment to New Y'ork City, whether for domestic consumption or export. 3Ir. Hat-rlott. he said, was to act as tlie joint agent of tho railroads on the lloor of tho Produce Exchange here.

He also said that prior to 3Ir. Harriott's appulntmciit rates had become demoralized on account of sharp competition between the several railroads, and It wns partially to keep a uniform rate and prevent the cutting of rates that tho roads decided to have one Joint agent Instead of each road having a special agent on tlie lloor of the Produce Exchange. The instructions which wero given to 31r. Harriott wcto not reduced to writing, he said, because each member of the committee thoroughly- understood what his duties were to be. It was decided that the wheat, rye.

corn, oats and flaxseed should be divided between the several railroads, but ho refused to say what per cent ot the whole the New York Central would receive. Ho was aked If he remembered what proportion of the grain was allotted to the Erie, and he replied: "I remember what per cent each road was to have, but I decline to answer because If was an agreement between the several reads and I have no right to answer that question without tlie consent of all tho roads Interested in the agreement" Jlr. Guilford said that the rate was frequently cut by tho competing roads, but to his knowleedge the published rate was never changed. "Were you enabled after pooling your interests to raise tho rate?" "Wo did raise tlie rate from 3 to 4 cents In November." "And you have been able to maintain that rate ever since?" "Yes." Mr. Guilford nlso said that tho several roads did not receive grain for shipment to New York except fjom the elevators In tha Buffalo association.

The elevators not In the association, with the exception ot tho Kellogg Elevator, were very small. In reply to questioning, Jlr. Guilford said that tlie committee representing the several roads In this pool has not, as a committee, refused to accept freight from the Kellogsr Elevator, but that the New York Central road has. The West Shoro road has also refused. Mr.

Guilford then said that since tho agreement between tho roads tho traffio had been distributed as nearly as practicable in accordance with that agreement. "There is no pool." he said, "nor payment of money by one road to another. According td the agreement, each road Is to have) a certain proportion of the business, and that Is being done as nearly as possible." The commission then adjourned until morning.
