edges His Crime.

At 8 o'clock Sunday night, Officer Blanchard
of the Third Precinct .srrested negro man
named Henry Robinson at the corner of Front
and Crossman streets, for having stolen goods
in his possession.
While the officer was on his way to the sta
ton, and at the corner of Decatur and st.
Louis street, while STOPPING over to give
call rap, the negro prisoner shot the ofhcer,
the bali entering the left shoulder and rang
ing downwards, lodged below the right
shoulder blade. The prisoner then made
his escape, but was recaptured by Officers
Shannon and Coleman on St. Louis, between
Dauphine and Burgundy streets, and locked
up in the Third Precinct Station.
Officer Blanchard was taken to the Charity
Hospital, where his wound was pronounced
not dangerous and thence to his mothers
residence on Toulouse street, near Villere.
where Dr. Schumacher visited him and pro-
nouuced his injuries dangerous.
Lasl night the negro Henry Robinson de-

was one Bill Matlock alias Red Bill
Monday morning, when speaking to one OF
the off GERS he acknowledged having done the
shooting. and said, 81 am tired of living,
and I wish the officers had shot me last night
when run of, and wish they would hang

The cause Of the arrest was quantity OF
tobacco which Robinson had in his possess
sion, which the officer supposed was stolen.
