The New York Times of November 6, 1892 carries a story telling of the
shooting of Arthur Williams by Edward Treiter. Williams had been fired
by Steinitz, and Treiter was going to replace him. What more is known
about this tragic and violent incident? This was the first I had heard
of it, and I thought I would check out what is known before trying to
dig deeper on my own. I am no expert on Steinitz, especially from this
time period.
