CHASED BY A DESPERADO.
Overtaken and Terribly Cut with a
knife.

On Monday evening as Edward Gregory
and Isarene Jones, colored, were passing
the corner of Liberty aud Jefferson street,
Gregory remarked to hts companion that he
intended to stop in q certain store on their
route and get some cigars. Standing on
the corner at the time was another negro by
the name of Lewis Gordon, who has the
reputation OF being adesperado of the vilest
type. Gordon heard the remark as the men
passed, and, moving towards them, said,
with fearful oath, "You had better get a
cigar, as l will cut your d-n;liver out" or
words to that effect. Gregory and Jones,
ing they would be assaulted, started into a
run. Gordon pursued Gregory, who
ran some distance and darted
into the yard of a gentleman on Tattnall
street, where he thought he would be pro-
tected. Gordon followed, and seizing him as
he entered the yard, threw him down and
deliberately began to hack him with large
knife. He gave him one cut in the eye,
three on the leg and one on the head.
Samuel Jefferson and Edward Martin, two
colored men who had witnessed this race,
followed the parties and succeeded In cap
turing Gordon, who was held securely until
policeman who was sent for arrived, when
he was delivered into the custody of the Of
Ger and taken to the barracks. Yesterday
morning Gordon was turned over to Magis-
trate Waring Russell, Jr., upon a warrant
charging him with assault with intent to
murder, and was committed to jail to await
the result of the injuries to Gregory, which
are considered quite serious.
It appears that after Gordon was captured
he cut himself in the leg very severely and
claimed that he had been attacked by
Gregory first. This assertion will, how
ever, be disproved by other witnesses.
