shooting in a station House.

Yesterday afternoon at 3 20 O'Clock,
Wallace OWinfs of Calvert County,
Md. formerly a member OF the Leglsla
tnre shot and pI obaDlJ fatally wounded
Jerome Kuhn, a bartender, in Justice
Hobbs's room, central police station, Oh
North street, Baltimore. OwinRs war
present as a witness to testify against
Kuhn on the charge OF having assaulted
and cut hun with intent to kill, and
with his face and head bandaged, sat
on the bench in the Justices room
against the wall towards the Lexington
street side of the building.
Suddenly a revolver was discharged.
A moment before Turnkey Manning
had entered the room with Kuhn, and
took his position in front OF Wallace
Owings. Kuhn, as he neared the desk
turned his head little towards Owingt
and was about to speak to him, wher
Justice Hobbs called for the case Il
20 on.
Just as Kub n turned his eyes to fac'
the Justice, Owings, quick as a flash
extended his right arm towards kubr
and fired, without rising nom tn,
bench. The pistol almost touched
Kuhn. The discharge made q lou6
report, and the room was thrown int
great confusion. Turnkey Manning
turned and grabbed the right hand o
Owings while the smoking pistol wa
still in it.
He squeezed the hand until the pisto
fell TO the floor, and then, releasing hi
hold upon Owings, picked up tn
weapon and gave It to Lieutenant Blu
sick. He then grabbed Owings agaiI
and held him, with the assistance o
Sergeant Frank Toner, who ran owe
towards them. Kuhn ran towards tn
door to the right of the room sgains
Detective Droste, who WAS entering.
Tho detective and officer Cassidy
who were near by, caught hold o
Kuhn, thinking he was the man VIII
had done the shooting and was tryin
to escape. "Oh! my God" exclaime
Kuhn. The exclamation led his car
tors 20 make an invt stiRation, whic
resulted in finding that Kuhn was tn
man who had been shot.
The wounded man was taken int
CaPsAin Farnan's private room, and ID
Alexander Hill summoned. The woun
was found to be in the left side, betwee
the tenth and eleventh ribs. Probin
was out of the question, and the exat
