his niece by the marriage. s

DEATH AT THE POLLS.
Joseph Day, COlOred, Murdered by Dick
DOherty at the Fifth Ward Polls
A Case for Imme diate Prose-
cutiOn.

At the polls of the fifth ward yesterday, at
about half past three O'Clock, a fatal shooting
affray occurred between Dick Doherty, white,
and Joseph Day, bright mulatto, In which
the latter was fatally shot, dying In twenty
minutes afterward. From Mr.. Black, an
eye witness of the affair, we learn the follow
ing particulars: AT the time | was standing
upon the frame that served as an approach to
and exit from the polls. challenging in behalf
of the Democratic ticket. | saw Joseph Day
come up TO the polls with tickets in his hand
for the purpose of casting vote. AS he
walked up to the POLLOCK he was accosted by
Dick Doherty in a very disorderly manDer,
who also used very abusive language, and
said he would not allow Day to vote; he
would rather kill the id s-n-of-a b-h
first" At this remark Day reached for his
pistol, as also did Doherty. Doherty was
grappled hold of by some bystanders:
Day was free. Day fired the first
shot at Doherty, the ball missing
him and striking the pistol OF
Policeman Bob Ellis, who was standing near
by. The pistol was afterward knocked from
the hands OF Day by some one, name I'M
known. In the meantime Doherty had re-
leased himself from his friend, and fired his
pistol at Day, the ball passing between my
legs and entering Days left side about three
inches below the nipple and immediately
below the sixth rib. Immediately after the
x,
small house in the rear Of Miller's saioon,and
placed on couch, where he lay twenty min
utes and expired, without having uttered
word from the time OF the fatal shot.
We called upons Doherty, who was con-
fined IN the stationhouse, last evening, but
he had nothing to say, pro or con. He only
knew that several shots had been fired, but
who did it he could not say. 1t may have
been Bob Ellis, and it may not. Doher-
ty was receiving the attention of his friends,
and was perfectly cool, calm and collected.
There are other conflicting statements IN
the above affair, some contending that Day
did not fire shot from his pistol, as it was
found loaded and intact; also, that the shot sup
posed to have been fired by HIM was that Of
the policeman's pistol, which received con=
cussion 10 jumping from the railing to sep
arate the parties. The case deserves thor
ough investigation.
