tempted to enter a noted bagnio kept by
Abbie Howard. They were refused en-
trance, and disturbance followed, re-
sulting in several fights among the party.
A police whistle brought to the scene
! Capt. Grim and Patrolmen Holland, Green
and Martin. The crowd scattered, but
soon the officers found young man lying
/ on the sidewalk nearly dead, who proved
! to be Bart Wall. He was bleeding from
| number of severe knife wounds, and was
evidently badly hurt. He was carried to
the Ivy Street Hospital, where he was
examined by Drs. Roy and Nicolson, who
| pronounced his condition critical. The
officers arrested Luther Ellison, G. W.
Brooks, Hugh Craig and j. A. Prater,
and locked them up.
DEATH ENsUEs.
This morning all but Ellison were re-
| leased. Ellison was held on suspicion.
| At noon to-day Wall died of his wounds,
| one OF which had penetrated the lung. He
was % years old, and for several years
past has been freight conductor on the
Central. He came in from trip yester-
| day. The Coroner summoned jury this
! afternoon, and after examining two wit
nesses adjourned till tomorrow. The
evidence 80 far is that when the party was
refused entrance to the bagnio Wall, who
! was drinking, insisted on breaking in.
| Ellison tried TO keep him from it. Rough
words followed and a scuffle ensued, in
which it is believed the stabbing occur
red. Ellison, when arrested by the officer,
resisted vigorously.
| The evidence now points very strongly
to Ellison as the murderer. The inquest
tomorrow is expected to clear up all
! doubt.
