SINGULAR SHOOTING AFFAIR.
A Mystery to be Explained-A Mistake
ArO.,uA

ALI Around
few days ago information was received at the
Coroners Office that Carrie Johnson, then supposed
to be Julia Smith, had died in the Charity HOSPITAL
Black ellis Island, from the effects of pistol shot
wound OF the left side. On the 18th day of Deem.
Der last John Harrington, In q fit OF jealous rage
shot Julia Smith at 81 Bayard street. and made his
escape. He was subsequently arrested, tried, con.
victed and sentenced to ten years IN State Prison.
Fully believing Julia Smith to be dead
Captain Kennedy, of the Sixth precinct telegraphed
TO sing Sing and learned that Harrington had been
transferred to Clinton state Prison and died there
two or three months ago. Captain Kennedy. not
being satisfied OF the demise OF Harrington, tele-
graphed direct to Clinton Prison and received
reply that Harrington was not dead. Another
singular TACT In the case is that the dead woman
was not Harrington's victim, Julia Smith having
recovered from the pistol shot wound and s now
walking the streets again. So OF both the parties
thought to be dead neither OF them are defunct
nor likely to be so very soon.
Carrie johnson, the woman who really did die in
the Charity Hospital had been shot in the lett side
about fifteen months ago, and few weeks pre-
Wilson, also inmates OF the Hospital that she had
been shot by her jealous lover. The woman Smiley
thought she heard the name OF John Hogan men,
toned as the man who shot Carrie, at 81 Bayard
street, and the latter said the reason she did not
have him arrested was because he had escaped to
England
Dr. Church, resident physician OF the Charity
Hospital, who attended deceased for a time de-
scrbed the wound deceased had received, the
DulleL HdNiux WOuHutu Kidney, spleen anu
other organs The injuries were the OF death.
In brief, on the facts as presented before Coroner
Kessler, the jury found that Carrie Johnson was
fatally shot at the hands OF some person unknown,
but recommended that the police authorities
make efforts to arrest John Hogan, suspected OF
completely in the crime. There Is no certainty that
deceased was shot by Hogan inasmuch as she was
deliriOus at intervals during the time she was in
the hospital and 1t is possible she made the accu-
sations against him while out OF her mind. Ii Is
CERTAIN however, that Carrie Johnson was shot
but the Sixth precinct police that nothing OF
the kind has occurred within their boundaries

The closing event OF the regatta-the final heat
Tor the diamond scus-came next, and the ladies
on the barge became quite excited wagering
gloves and perfumery In the most reckless manner
on the hna result. The starter finally marshalled
the three contestants at the starting post, and
alter SNORT delay they took POSITIONS as lollows:
koaol on the New York shore, Curtis III the centre
ana keator on the Westchester side. At the word
'Gol' they all got away well together, but the
chicago representative presently began to show to
the 'front.'. with keator hanging close to him and
Roach bringing up the rear. Curtis, however
crept gradually away widening the gap between
him and keator who was also dropping the iavorite
Roach Passing the stand Curtis led by about
two lengths, followed by Keator, who was pulling
grandly for a comparatively green oarsman, and
Roach brought up the rear looking as II he found
the company too good for him. Keator finally
made . squirt and endeavored to lap Curtis
but the champion litter put on little
extra steam, shot away, passing the post
the winner OF the Diamond Challenge Souls for
1878. keator was about four lengths behind, with
Roach. badly pumped, bringing up the rear.
The Judges steamer, now that the last race was
decided steamed over and took the barges ia tow,
eventually landing the guests at Mott Haven, from
where they took the cars IN New York.
