Cihcaoo Oc- 17. Amid a thronaef peo-
ple ol tbo door of Ibo Third ProiJyteiUn
Church and of tho most fashlonaolo con-
gregations In Chicago at Ibo cloe of th
Mrvlccs yesterday morning a grey-halrcd
millionaire bank prosidont wns remorse-
lessly shot down by his stepson to avenge
or shield tho wlfo of tbo banker shot and
mothorot tho assailant charged with eon.
tlnUeil forgotfulncss of her marrlsge vows.
Th bunker was Stephen XT. Itawaoo presi-
dent Of tbo Union Trust Company ol
Chicago anil Iho stepson William
Leo ngod soventceu. Bankor Raw-
sou with flvo bullets In hit

tion was hfcstlly taken from tho bloooV
spattered curb and placed hi ono of tbe
score of carriages that hatl been vfaltlr.it
for thd wealthy worshipers while young
Lcc. with IhO empty still smoking re-
volver In hand was hurriedly thrown
into a patrol wagon.
Danker lUwson nan long peen a ir-auiuy
light of tho church and an honored member
notwithstanding that ho bad been charged
by his wlfo wlta perjury and other offemsee
enough to makd him if truo ft veritable
whlted Aopulchcr Ho on tho other hand
alleged that sho although prominent In
sOclsty and a beautiful woman In appear-
onoo Was really ft disreputable blasphe-
mous dovillsli-tcmpcrod adventuress whe
coveted only his monoy. For a year ex
moro tbo two had been fighting each other
In tho dlvorco courts and within n woak
tho banker had Hied nculnst her additional
charges of adultery.
Little attention was paid to young Leo ae
be stalked backward and forward past the
church entrance nnd ho was lost In tbe
crowd when tho gaily dressed congrega-
tion began to coma out among them tba
well-known form ot tho bank president
llatvsofl was about to step to his corringd
when camo tbe sharp crack of a revolver
followed by a deep groan. An earthquake
could scarcely havo produced moro con-
fusion at the moment among tha throngs
Of gonllcmcn ladles nnd children and thn
long tiers of carriages and coachmen that
lined the sidewalks In every direction. A
diu of screams began but subsided almost
instantly ns slender well-orossca youin-
ful Leo was aeen U quickly but coolly
steady his shining pistol with his left
bind wMle with his $ J-" Zan and
ogam pdilod tbu fatal trigger.
With th3 stilled cry "I'm killed" the
aged mllhonalro fell prostrato on tho stone
flags upturning his agonized whlto face at
tho cold let countenance of his stepson.
Mot till Ibe last of tho flvo chambers had
been emptied Into tho old man's body did
Leo seem to breathe. Tho crowd seemed
looted to tho stones ir horror helpless till
a policeman camo running to tbo scene.
Then begun a wild clamor and Leo turn
Inrr to tbo officer hoarwily whispered:
"Tako mo to Jail quick." It seemed
scarcely a moment till tho patrol wngox
bora him away.
When tho dying banker reached his horn
six physicians had been called. They probed
for tbo ballots and found that all baa
lodged In tbo legs or arms save ono; that
entered near tho small of tho back and
nearly ns could bo Judged had plunged
through his abdomen. It his llfo was saved
It would bo llttlo short ot a miracle.
Over at tbo police station young Le
asked a reporter to carry Mrs. Rawson hit
mother tho news. Bho occupies apart
ments at tho Continental Hotel. Tbo re
porter sent up word that ho bod extremely
important business nml was presentee
without delay to a plump dark complex-
loncd handsomo woman In tho prime of
life tho most noticeable feature of whoa
was ft pair of snapping black ees. Bin
was clad la a tasteful tight titling dura
ilrraa nnd whlto lltckct.
"Woll what business havo you I" said thi
woman.
"Tbor. you havo heard nothing of youi
son I"
"No what is It!"
"WoU ho has got into t litllo trouble
Ho"
"Go on what has ho dono!"
"Well ho Is arrested. Ho hail sorai
trouble with Jlr. llawscn."
"Go on and tell mo what he has dona
Don't keep mo in suspense" eagerly brokt
In tbe woman.
"Ho shot him but it is not sarioas"
quickly added tho reporter as Mrs. Itawsou
closed her eyes aud trembled with excito
mint. .
Tbe last portion of tho sontenco caused
Mrs. ltnwson's eyeuas 10 raise aim su
brought ner hoad up with a Jerk as sho ox-
claimed! "Oh don't Co alarmed. I am all
right. Go on and UU mo alL"
"That I about alL Ua shot him several
limes amf "
"Is he dead I" eagerly broko in tho woman
again.
"No but ho Is probably fatally ip.larcd.
Ha can not recover from his woundi."
Then: thero was a pauso. Tho reporter
stood and looked at Mrs. Rawson whllt
sho coolly returned bt look of Inquiry
with a slight sneer ot her dark handsome
fa co.
"Well" tho woman calmly and haughtily
ejaculated aftur a inomout "is thoro any
thing raorot" and In a posture of graceful
indolence sho leaned againyt a dressing-
caso and watched tho reporter whllo he
was collecting his thoughts. Bho looked
positively sleepy.
"I would Ilka to ask you what you have
to say about itt" Iho young man finally re-
pllol. "What do you think it wa dons
fori"
In an instant Mrs. itawson was trans-
formed. Hoc black eyes Hashed tho lira ot
deadly hatred and sho soometl to qulvoi
from head to foot. "What do I think of lit"
sho cried. "I am glad of IU Ua deserved
lu" Bho stopped Just long enough to catch
her breath. "What was It dona fori Be-
cause Rawson has mado mo out on the
streets to ba n publlo prostitute. I'll stand
by tho boy" she cried raising hor arm
with a drqfnatio. gesture. "He did more
than any boy would do. Ho la tbo son ot
bis mother."
Than the woman began to pace to and
fro over tho heavily carpoted floor. "I in--tended
to do U myself" sho exclaimed
suddenly stopping in tha middle of the
room.
Again sho asked about tbe details. "Did
all tho shots hit hlml" sha exclaimed with
a look of tigerish expression.
"Yes I Hllovo thoy did."
"I'm glad of It. H? deservca nil ho got."
At this Juncture Mrs. Ilawson'a lawyer
arrived and tbo reporter was promptly ex-
cluded. J
