O'Clock last evening, the report OF pistol shot
was heard on st. Charles street, IN the neighoor
hood of Commercial alley, followed by another
louder report and still another Then came the
cry, ''stop thief" and man was seen running up
81 Charles street. At the corner OF Poydras,
smother shot was fired, and then the man wno was
running was seen turning down toward Poydras
Market. moment after, ffth shot was fired,
and two men were seen running out INTO the mlo
die Of the street about midway between st;
Charles and Csrondelet. There were heard
proaps as of O man wounded, a,cab drove rapid
off containing wounded man, crowd moved
of toward the police station, surrounding
man who had been shot and was bleeding:
Upon arrival at the station. II was discovered
that the man who had been running and VINO was
shot was Day Officer Sutherland. ball had en-,
tered his back on the right side, and passed
through TO his right breast. On his person were
about five hundred dollars in currency. HIS
s,etemept. as he sat grooming in his chair at the
station Office, was, that an attempt had oeen
made TO rob him, and that in his endeavor TO
escape, the cry had been started. He WAS suose-
auenty removed to his home on Dry AIDES street.
Meanwhile Mr.. John Price, once member OF
the police, before Col. Adamss removal by Sheri
dan hsd been found to be shot in the body, aud
was taken of, as previously stated, In cab to a
drug store near Poydras Market, where surgicai
attendance was procured.
No arrests had been made at the time our re.
porter left the station, and singular mystery
seemed to envelop the origin Of the affair.
Afer the occurrence a gentleman was standing
in front of tue theater telling friend that the man
who was shot and at the police station was po-
lice officer. One Of group OF policemen return
ing from the station, overheard him and denied
the truth Of the assertion at the same time sezng
a Younger brother of Mr.. Hyams by the lapel of
the coat and shaking him, and was about arresting
him. with the remark that such trash caused all
disturbances. The boy however. was rescued by
his brother. What prompted this conduct OF the
officer we are at loss to know. All attempts 10
find the true cause Of the shooting affair were un'
availing and it must be investigated before the
recorder before the truth Is ascertained. rne
fifth shot which wounded Officer Sutherland, Is
said by st. Charles street policeman 10 have
been fired when Sutherland was surrounded by
several persons attempting to arrest him. Suther-
land and bis party said to have been under the
influence of liquor.
