Further Particulars of the Assassination
at Philadelphia. fsas#ai su3 2
Tho boldest attempt at assassina-
tion ever made in this city took place
shortly after noon to-day. Revenue
officer James T. Brooks, at half.psst
II o'clock entered the liquor store of
Mr.. Keenan,, on Front street, below
Arch, which was under seizure, and
was holding conversation with the
son Of MIR. Keenan,, when two men
dame into tho place and commenced
talking with the lad. They asked if
Mr.. keenan, was in, and on being told
that he wa not, they turned to
leave. During the interview Mr..
Brooks was standing with his right
side toward them. One of the ecoun-
drels drew revolver, and aiming it
at Mr.. Brooks, pulled tho trigger, tho
ball passing in under Mr.. Brooks
right shoulder blade, and lodging
somewhere in his chest. The assas.
sins Immediately ran out of the store
And jumped into cab, the driver Of
which piled the whip, and the horses
started in jump. Up Front street
they went to Callowhill, and along
Callowhill to St. John, and up that
street. On Callowhill street detec-
tives franklin and Tryon were stand
ing, and noticing the immoderate
speed of the animals, called the dri-
yer to pull up. They did not at that
time know of the occurrence. The
driver slackened little and turned
into st. John street. Noticing an
immense crowd coming out Of Front
street, detective Tyron Immediately
turned and followed after the cab,
while franklin run down Callowhill
street to Front, and down that thor.
oughfare to the store of Mr.. Keenan,,
where he found Mr.. Brooks lying in
critical condition. Obtaining assis.
tance, he conveyed the wounded man
to his residence on Fourth street,
above Spruce, where physicians we're
called in. Fears are entertained that
he will die, as hemorrhages have al
ready set in. E7'.
Mr.. Brooks did not know cithor Of
the men who assassinatod him, but
