William Hotchkiss Shot At Williamsburg.
William HOTCHKISS, formerly of Burlingame was fatally shot Satruday night in
front of a cafe n Williamsburg, following a disagreement with Harry GRIFFIN, the
origin of which is not known. Mr. Hotchkiss, who was shot a number of times
through the stomach died early Sunday morning from the wounds. Harry Griffin who
following the disagreement went home to get his gun is lodged in the Franklin
County jail awaiting further action. It is not known what defense he will offer.
William Hotchkiss, known to many as "Bill" lived at Burlingame all his life
until two years ago, when he married and moved to Williamsburg. He worked at the
coal mining business while in Osage County, and has continued in it while at
Williamsburg.
Very little is known of the disagreement or quarrel which preceeded the
shooting. None of his friends and relatives know of any former misunderstanding
and are at a loss to explain the motive. The cafe proprietor who was the only
person who gave an account said that before Griffin went home for his gun, there
had been some talk of the price of coal.
