An Evicted Tenant Takes the Law Into His Own Hands. SHOT THROUGH THE 'BODY. Alexander Hupe’s Awful Revenge for His Family’s Ejectment—The Owner of the Apartment Couldn’t Wait a Few Days for a Few Dollars. NEW YORK, May 4,—Alexander Hupe, a dispossesed tenant, walked into Landlord Kretschmar’s apartments, at 335 East Eighty-seventh street, and - drawing a heavy revolver fired four shots at the land- lord, one of which passed clear through his body, injuring him fatally. After the shooting Hupe returned the pistol to his pocket and cooly walked down stairs into the street. The Reason for the Deed. August Gribel, owner of the flat next door, grabbed Hupe as he reached the street and handed him over to a police- man who came running up at that mo- ment. Hupe turned to his captors and the excited neighbors and said: “I did it for a principle. I shot the man who made my little ones homeless because I was a few days behind in paying my rent. He deserved it, the brute. He deserved it.” Hupe is a drummer, employed by the Edison Electric Light company. Last August his family, consisting of his wife and two children, Lizzie and Annie, aged respectively, fourteen and fifteen years, moved into Landlord Kretschmar’s flat, 1,575 Avenue A. The Landlord Couldn’t Wait. ' They paid their rent promptly until April 17, when Hupe, being away on a business trip to Boston, Mrs. Hupe told Kretsch— mar that he would have to wait a few days for his rent. The landlord is said by his tenants to be a stern man, and demanded his rent at once. Mrs. Hupe finally per- suaded him to wait for a few days longer until she could communicate with her husband. Fearing the latter might have experi- enced some trouble in getting his money, Mrs. Hupe decided to go out to work and earn the few dollars’ rent to pay Kretsch- mar. Put Into the Street. It was during her absence from home that Kretschmar and two marshals put in an appearance, and moved every article of household furniture into the street. It began to rain hard a few hours later, and when the mother returned she found her children crying on the street beside the furniture. She pleaded with the landlord, but he was obdurate. Grocer Strauss, on the ground floor, al- lowed her to put the effects into his cellar. Hupe came home on Friday. His trip had been an extensive one, and he had not heard of his family’s misfortune. He went to the flat and was dumfounded when he learned what had happened to his family. He Swear vengeance. “My children thrown out like dogs!" said he to the grocer. “I’ll be revengedl" He found‘his wife and little ones living with her folks in Brooklyn. When he again entered Grocer Strauss’ store he was pale and agitated. He thanked the grocer for the kindness he had shown and then left. Subsequently he appeared opposite Kretschmar’s house. He passed in unob served, and went direct to the landlord’s apartment on the first floor. He knocked. Willie, the landlord’s five-year-old son, opened the door. Hupe pushed it back and stepped into the room, revolver in hand. Shot Through the Body. “I have come,” he said, “to take the law into my own hands.” The landlord was seated at a table. His children were play- ing about the room, and his wife was as- sisting in the preparation of the evening meal. The presence of Hupe, armed as he was, caused Kretschmar to shout in alarm, “What is it?” Without aword Hupe fired. The first shot struck the top of the heavy oaken table and glanced upward, imbeddiug it- self in the wall opposite. The second shot struck Kretschmar directly in the abdo- men, but hit a button and fell to the floor. The third shot struck the landlord abova the right hip and went clean through his body. He fell to the floor unconscious. Then Hupe fired the fourth shot, which shattered a mirror. BRIEF MENTION.
