in the lookup, on Wednesday, shows some
symptoms of ultimate recovery at present.
He was removed to the inner court of the
Jail where he is now lying under the carr.
of the City Physician and n nurse employed
by the Mayor. WheE first examined, his
head and face were so mntilateIi and swot-
len that it was impossible TO ascertain the
true extent of his injuries, but il is now
found that his skull is not fractured, and has
eyes are probably yet sound. He was able
10 talk yesterday and give some account Of
himself His name is William Ludwig, snd
he says he has respectable relatives in st.
Louis He states that the two fellows in the
lookup began by attempting to rob him o.
his money, and finding some difficulty in
getting at it, one of them struck him on the
head with wooden bucket, and after that
he knows no more He must have been
struck and kicked twenty or thirty times
He had only Is cents, and the brutal Tilains
robbed him OF even that.
