Gordon Bennett and Frederick May met at
Slaughter's Gap, Deleware. at p. M, yes

met, and / am all right. Bennett also tel
egraphed his sister that he was unhurt
From the fact that only one shot was fired,
it is believed hat Mays injury must be Sc

of the wound or where May was carried to.

accepted statement is chat the duel took
place near Elkton, Cecil county, not far
