BENNE TT-MAY DUELIsTs IN COURT.
1t will be seen by reference to another
column that DR.. Phelps and Mr.. Oelrichs
have been taken into custody in New
York on the charge of being accessory to
the recent duel in this State. Some go
80 far as to express great doubts as to the
party having exchanged shots. Perhaps
the truth may be elected. DIR. Phelps
will not answer; but Mr.. Oelrichs will
perhaps do so.
NO BLOOD SPILLED.
The Baltimore Sun says on what is the
'most direct authority, there was but one
exchange of shots between the parties,
and neither was struck or bodily injured
in the least, Notwithstanding all other
statements to the contrary. This one ex-
change having taken place, and Mr.. Ben
net, the challenging party, it is inferred,
not demanding another, but indicating
that if his opponent was satisfied he was,
the affair then and there terminated. DR..
Frederick May, who acted as surgeon and
second for his cousin, and Charles H..
Tilghman, who accompanied them, were
both in in Baltimore yesterday. The
whereabouts of Mr.. Frederick May are
not known, and a rIlmor among Balti-
more club men that he is in Washington
IS ascertained to be without foundation.
1t is certain, however, as a friend ex-
pressed it, that 'he is in safe place"
