FATAL ARRAY
Between VIM. Weeks and Geo. E. Paris.
Weeks Receives Seven CHASTITY Wounds,
Which Cause Death.

A desperate ARRAY took place on Sunday a
3 A. NJ. between VIM. Weeks and Geo. E
Paris, in two-story frame house situated a
No. 80 Where street, in which Weeks was
butchered in the most terrible manner with q
large-sized bowie-knife
1t appears the men had a quarrel and hard
words were used, whereupon Weeks struck
Paris blow in the face with his fist and then
drew his revolver. They were for the time
separated by Mr. Baquie, who was present,
and taking Paris into the adjoining room,
bathed the blood from his face While they
were thus engaged Weeks entered the room
and leveled his pistol at Paris and snapped it
| twice, but it did not explode.
Paris was then struck by Weeks over the
head with the butt of the pistol. Mr. Baquie
| again begged that there would be no fighting,
and stood directly between them and directly
in front of Weeks, held him and begged him
to desist.
Paris at that moment drew large bowie
knife, and, reaching over Baque, stabbed
Weeks in the right shoulder, inflicting
CHASTITY wound of about four inches in length.
Mr. Baquie, unable to hold Weeks longer
released him, when Weeks made a rush for
Paris The combatants then closed, and
blows of the knife and pistol were exchanged
Weeks receiving one stab in the back and one
in the arm. After short struggle Weeks
dropped to the ground. He again made an
attempt to rise, but was only met by the
descending knife, inficting wound of five
inches on the lower part of the back.
One more effort was made by Weeks to re-
cover his feet but Paris again drove the six
inches Of the blade through his breast, cut |
ting completely through two of his ribs
After this Paris desisted from further
butchery, when his victim dragged himself a
few steps, staggered to his feet, and fell dead
It the gate. Assistance was called by Mr..
Baquie, but Paris made his escape before it
arrived. The body was taken to the Charity
Hospital
HOW FAME IS MANUFACTURED.
How it is that biographical sketches Of men
folding prominent positions are gotten up, as
