revolver Before Lachac.9.s lawyer had time 10
seped % BEHIND Mr. Sanders and pacns e
weapon against the back oil his victims neck,
fred. the report reveroerating sonorously
the ancient building. On receiving the shot
Mr.. Sanders, who is large and powerfully built
man, fell forward on his hands and knees, and in
this position the terror-stricken man scrambled
up on the platform and benlnd the Judges desk,
enemy. The latter followed him, however, with
THE FERoC.TY OF A TIGER,
and when within a step or two OF him fred again,
his lelt side and lodging in the abdominal cavity,
causing the wounded man to cry out III piercing
tones; "on, I'm 1o shot S send for doctor" Mean
bench when Mr.. Sanders first crawled behind it,
followed by the boodthrsty Frenchman, was
standing In a further corner OF the court room,
MUTELY HoRRIFIED AT THE SCENE,
when Lach3 ume, satisfied that he had mortally in
jured his victim, walked rapidly towards him,
pistol in hand. 1t was moment OF unltterable
suspense to the unofTendng Judge, who certainly
thought that his destruction at the hands OF the
niuriated FTenchman was inevitable, In this aw
lu belief the trembling Judge was about raising
botn hands in supplicating manner when La
chumes features Instantly assumed friendly ex-
preston, and quieted his lears by
REVERSING THE REVOLVER,
and, handing IL to him with a bow, remarked
blandly, '.No, Judge, not for you.n The echoes oi
the pistol shots had scarcely died away before hun.
dreds OF citizens had gathered in and around
Manor Hall. ANXIOUS 10 see or at least ascertain
the condition OF the wounded man, who Is widely
known and universally respected in Yonkcrs. The
utmost excitement prevailed over
THE DASTARDLY DEED,
and during its continuance Lachaume walked un-
mOested out OF the court room and across the
square TO Police Headquarters where he surren-
dered himself TO sergeant OSBORN, saying, sanders
mad been trying to rum him Tor the last fifteen
years" He was promptly locked up physi-
can, having been hastily summoned to the court
room, examined the wounded man, and found
that the first shot had poughed through the flesh
In the back OF the neck, without lodging there.
The second ball
ENTERED THE LEFT SIDE,
between the nip aud the lower rib, and had found
q resting place IN the body. On probing Jor the
bullet 1t was ound in the tissue OF the outer
covering OF the abdomen, and extracted without
causing much pain to the sufferer. 1t is
not known as vet whether this ball passed
through the intestlnes, IN which latter event the
wound must OF course, prove fatal After this
operation had been performed Mr.. Sanders was
assisted into a carriage and conveyed to his
home. Up 10 a late hour last night the attending
physicians still were hoping that the patient had
not been wounded in a vital part. Mr.. Sanders is
one OF the Oldest lawyers in YOnkers, having re-
sided there for nearly twenty years. He is also
a prominent member OF the United Order OF ODD
Fellows, in which organization he has for some
order In the United States.
The prisoner, VINO expresses no regret for his
crime, but rather seems TO goat over 1t, will un-
dergo an examination before City Judge T.. =.
Baird this morning.
