WALKER, THE sTABBER.

William T. Walker is another splendid
specimen of the improved police force
Walker is desperate character and his ex-
perience at Police Court is only surpassed
by that of Adams. Walkers best known
escapade is his attempt to murder Michael
Malloy. The affair took place in Malloy's
saloon on French street, near Twelfth, on
July 4, 1881, year ago with the exception
of three days. Walker, with a drunken
crowd. of boon companions, kicked up a
fight, and he emulated Adams example by
refusing to pay for drinks. Walker was
arrested for stabbing Malloy by officers
Springer and Lynch, and was given a hear
ing, when 1t was found that the wound
would not have fatal result. He was held
in $500 bail for court.
William Walker has been before the
Mayor for cruelty to dumb animals and for
being drunk and disorderly.
