TOM SORRELL SHOT IN BALTrMoRE-The
baltimore Sun of this morning says: Geo Ash
ton, coiored, was arrested yesterday on the
charge or shooting with pistol, with intent TO
kill, Thomas Sorrell, Ne. Sc North HOLIDAY
street. He was committed by Justice Hagerty
for the action of the grand jury. 1t appears
that the atray took place about quarter-past
of Eliza Brown, colored, where SorrelI is living
as her husband. Ashton. who is from WASH
INF ton, went 70 the house yesterday to see an
acquaintance there. SOrrell, is alleged
thought he had come to see Eliza Brown ami
Oeing jealous OF him cursed and abused him
ana finally knocked him down twice. Ashton
then drew pistol and fired three times at Sor-
rel, the balls penetrating the left side of his
mead, his left arm Eea the elbow, anG the right |
thigh, without, however, infictiBg any seri0us |
wound. Sorrell, on being shot, procured a |
KNIFE and attacked Ashton again, who ran out |
OF the house in his stocking feet, and was metz
at the oo0r by man named George McGlone
who tried to stop him, hearing cries OF murder.
DIT s,s. when Ashton knocked out of the way
Ashton then ran to the middle district police |
sation-housc and gave himself up to Officer /
frIce, who was standing at the door. He al |
Ie9es that ne shot S0rreli and knocked McGlone |
eorrell is well known Washington rough, |
AMI u might've from justice on a charge now
pendi0g against him for assault and battery,
With intent to kill his wife, who had been di, /
vorced. Ashton Ia well known as q yery ouiet

- he was never known to invite an assault.
