John Phelps Dies from the Effoct Of
His Wound.

Yesterday morning, at the almshouse,
obort fen minutes after 12 O'Clock, John
Phelps. who was shot one week previously
in card-room OH Franklin street, died from
the effects OF the pistol-shot wound then
received. He never recovered conscious
ness. but lay during the entire week in a
state Of coma. speaking i'm all the time but
one sentence. This was the day before his
death. when his attendant observed him
make characteristic motion with his hand,
and heard him mutter, as his mind wan
dered back to his old habits, "fll take
three cards.
As soon as his death was known DR..
Christopher Tompkins, acting coroner in
the absence Of DR.. Taylor, coroner, was
notified. aud pOSt-morfem examination
was determined upon. Drs. X. \. Lam
caster and George n. Pickercll, resident
physicians at the almshousc, and Drs.
Charles II. Chakley and j. :. ID. Cullen
were requested TO be present and assist.
A careful investigation disclosed the fact
that the man had lived week with bullet
i'm his brain. The course OF the bullet
showed that it entered the right corner Of
the left eye and passed transversely upward
through the brain, striking the right side
OF the skull and lodging there. In its
course through the brain the ball carried
along with it fragments OF bone that were
distinctly visible. Although the ball was
small. being only about 4 twenty-five cLli-
bre. it il remarkable that the wounded man
should have so long survived, especially
when il is remembered that a piece Of the
ball was found sticking in portions OF the
brains along with the bone fragments. An
inquest will be held on the body this morn-
ing at 10 O'CLOCK.

nisheS the following, which will be inter-
esting to many Richmond gentlemen who
have been warmly accosted by just such
young man:

dressed him iamiliarly rs doctor" and
inquired after friends Of the Doctor resi-
dent in Texas. The Doctor expressed
his surprise, but finally became convinced
OF the truth of his new-found friends
representations, and at his suggestion they
turned and StrOlled down Broadway. The
Doctor said that he was dcsirOus OF pur-
chasing medical works, and his friend said
that he would guide him TO II place where
they could bc purchased cheap. When the
Doctor said hc was also desirOus OF a copy
OF LonIclOW's poems the young man said
that lac had two eleganty-bound copies
that he had won at a church fair, and he
would make him Il present OF one. This
munifcent offer completely captured the
Doctor and he accompanied the young man
TO house, the situation OF which the Doc
tor could not exactly remember, but which
he believes was in Wooster street near
Broome, where the books were in charge
of friend. When they arrived at the
house the friend expressed his great sor-
row. as he had just sent The books to the
home OF the owner by express.
Then the game was unmaskcd. y ban

declined. The "stccrer" expressed de-
sire to try his luck, and finally induced DR..
Ghent to stake $40 for him. lie won, and
then he asked the Doctor to stake $40
more, in which case he would win $3.50;
but the Doctor, who had begun To see
through the game, refused. The " dealer J"
held on 10 the money rs stakes, and Dr.
Ghent and his friend left the house. The
Doctor, made suspicious by the steerer's
attempts to get rid OF him, accused him OF
being in the game to deiraud him, and
made demand for. his money. The
" steerer." alarmed at DR.. Clients loud
talk. gave him SO, and promised 10 refund
the remainder the next day, hut the Doc
tor would not rest content with this prom
ise. The "steerer" bade him "Good-
day" and walked away. DR.. Ghent fol-
lowed him up closely, and the swindler
took TO his heels. The Doctor followed,
shouting "StOp thief !" and Patrolman
O'Donncll, Of the Eighth precinct, arrested
him. When arraigned before Justice FORD,
at the jefferson Market Police Court, he
gave his name as Frank Hammond, and de-
manded an examination, which was set
down for to-day. In the mean time the
police are endeayoring to discover the
house where the game was played, and to
arrest Hammond's accomplice.
