"A Coiored Porter ON a Palace Car
shot at by "a New York Banker.

On Monday afternoon. when the Rens-
selaer, and Saratoga train arrived at the
Troy depot, about five o'clock. consider
able excitement was occasioned over the
report that New York banker had
shot colored porter in the drawing
room car, Hudson" The particulars
! of the affair are as follows: Mr.. r. F.
Jurant, a well known Wall street bank
er, accompanied by his wife and child
came down from Saratoga in the car.
and during the passage it was noticed by
the passengers, that the man. who was
under the influence of liquor, abused his
wife in terrible manner. Several of
the passengers demonstrated with him
but their talk had no effect. When the
train neared the depot one of the pas
sengers who had witnessed his proceed
ings the entire journey, went up to him
and told him that he must cease abusing
his wife or he would have him arrested.
AT this remark Jurant drew a revolver
from his pocket and pointed il AT the
mead OF the stranger. The colOred por-
ter, John Washington. who was In one
end oil the car, witnessed the struggle
and fastened to the scene. His an
proach made Jurant more angry and he
seized the porter, with the revolver still
IN his hand. The colored man released
himself and started for the door. As he
was crossing the threshold Jurant fired
at him, but luckily the ball missed its
aim, passing out the door, The ball in
It's course came within an inch of hit
ting Henry Gault, a car repairer, who
was on the platform at the time Officer
heehan, who was on duty at the depot.
rushed upon the car to investigate the
affair. Jurant said he. fired the shot and
the officer took him to the station house.
but not before officer Kelley had taken
the revolver from the wOuld-be murder
er. The prisoner offered Keehan 800
II he would let him 90. but Keehan
would not be bribed The officer was
obliged To make the complaint disorder
ly conduct. and on such charge he was
locked up and subsequently bailed by
Chamberlain BuTdett. 4 warrant was
secured by the colored porter this morn
ing for assault with intent TO kill. On
this charge the prisoner viii be dealt
more severely with. Jurant had on his
person a gold watch and. 1927. p In
money, which was taken by the police
for safe-keeping. Mrs. Jurant and her
child. who were glad to rid themselves
Of Mr.. Jurant's abuse. resumed their
journey to the metropolis. The prisoner
says that there was no trouble between
him and his wife and that the pistol was
accidentally discharged i'm the closet Of
the car.
Mr.. Jurant is a banker of considerable
celebrity at New York, and is said to be-
millionaire. When sober he appears
to be gentleman.
