Gen. Badger was ascending one of the
side entrance stairways from the lower
aoor to the main Office of the custom
house, he was suddenly met by Will
liam Brown, an ex-metropolitau police
man, who, with the remark, '.rve got
you now," drew revolver and fired at
the head of the collector. Seeing the
mans movements, Collector Badger
caught his arm and diverted the shot
oyer his shoulders. Gen. Bldger took
the pistol away from Brown and threw
it below. Blown lost his leg on the
fourteenth of September, 1874. under
Badger and was among Badgers first
appointees as postmaster. Becoming
collector, Badger left Brown in the

by poverty to attempt the rash act and
he was unwilling to prosecute him.
Brown evidently thinks Gen. Badger
should have given him place in the
custom house.
