Hunn, William
Porter Killed By Chicagoan
Hotel Employee In Colorado Springs Shot by Charles X. Miller
Charles X. Miller, 34 years old, claiming Chicago as his home, shot William Hunn, a colored porter, killing him instantly. The tragedy occurred in the barroom of the Hoffman Hotel at Colorado Springs. Hunn was busy with his work when Miller with a flourish of his revolver denounced all negroes as worthy of death. Hunn fled in fear, but Barkeeper Pitman induced him to return. Miller was quieted for a time, but while the barkeeper went out to get Marshal Birdsill he became violent again, and this time emptied his revolver and fled. He was arrested after a brief chase. The coroner's jury held him for murder.
