LIFE QUICKLY EBBS AWAY
Aged Proprietor of a Da It a* Rooming
Houeo Rsfuae* two Men Lodging,
Saying Ho Did Not Have Intoxicated
People For Gueatc, and Murdered.
Dallas. Dec. l4.-‘My Ood! Help!
help! My throat has been cut!”
This was the startling cry which
8. r, Hutton, a roomer at the rooming
house at 112 1-1 Commerce street
heard.
Jumping from bla bed and hurrying
down the stain leading to the aide-
walk on Main street be was horrlfed
at the sight that met bis rase.
Lying In a fast-widening pool of
Mood was W. fil. Andoraoa, proprie-
tor of the rooming house several years.
There was s ghastly wound In his
neck from which the crimson riuld
was gushing In a large stream, and
Mr. Hutton quickly realised that An-
derson was badly wounded.
Mr. Hutton made the following otate-
ment:
‘The first lntlmstlqn I had of any
trouble wa* when 1 was awakened by
what appeared to be Three persons
talking In the hall. I heard Mr. An-
derson say: ‘No. I cannot let you
have a room. I don't pprmlt drunk-
en men to sleep In my hbuae.' They
continued to talk for seme time, the
old man (Mr. Anderson) telling them
that they would have to leave his
bouse. I could hear three voices in
the conversation. They Anally agreed
to leave the house, and Mr. Ander-
son evidently followed the two mon
down stairs. About half way down the
stairs Is s door to which Is attached
a bell cord with a bell In the room
occupied by myself and Anderson,
which rings every time the door On
the stairway Is opened.
“Two or three seconds, or proba-
bly a little longer after the bell rang,
indicating that the door on the stair-
way bad been opened. I heard the
piercing scream of the old man when
he exclaimed: ‘My Ood! Help! help!
my throat has been cut!'
“I Immediately jumped out of bed
and ran down the ateps and found the
old man weltering In a pool of blood.
He was still able to speak, and did
speak a number of times, even after
I had come back from my unsuccessful
efforts to secure a doctor. A man by
the name of Charlie Pool, some kind
of an oAlcer, I believe, came up about
this time and asked Anderson who had
cut him, He replied: ‘He was a heavy
set man with a black moustache.’ or
something to that effect. When I ftret
reached the foot of the stairs no one
was In sight”
Mr. Hutton says that Mr. Anderson
had a wife and son at Cleburne, but
he had not lived with hi* family for
some time. He was about sixty years
old. and of peaceable disposition.
AH Indications are that Anderson
had retired for the night, as he was
attired only In his underwear. This
from the throat down was blood soak-
ed and stained, as was also the long
gray beard of the unfortunate man.
Standing near the foot of the stairway
was an ordinary barrel. One side of
this was covered with a large splash
of blood, as though the fatally wounded
man had fallen over against this be-
fore dropping to the pavement The
blood which had gushed from the
wound covered a large space on the
pavement. Mr. Anderson expired as
he was being taken up stairs
A white man named Snowberg
and BMward Cano, a Mexican, were ar-
rested. Both empfaaUcnlly dented be-
ing guilty. Snowberg says he and
the dead man were warm personal
friends several year*.'and never had
any dlfAculty. The men were arrest-
ed a square sway, on Commerce street
while walkiog along, shortly after the
tragedy.
later on Cano told officers that he,
with n whits man, had gone .to the
place seeking a room and bed. Ac-
cording to his story, they were slight-
ly under the Influence of liquor, and
for that reason were denied s room by
Anderson.
The Mexican says that Anderson
used some force Is getting them down
stairs Os the sidewalk the cutting
took place.
