Arizona silver belt., 1886-10-30

ana n&Muel ., bullock, wen known
citizens oCGlobe, were the participants.
MIR, Hatch was the aggressor and fired
the first shot. The next shots were
fired simultaneously, that of Bullock
taking effect in the right groin of Mr..
Hatch, cutting the epigastric artery,
from which he bled profuSely and was
very soon afterwards PROSTATE The
wound was Of such a nature that DR..
Adler expressed no hope for the recov-
cry Of his patient, and as an evidence
Of the correctness OF his diagnosis, Mr.
Hatch died within six hours after re-
ceiving the wound. His remains were
inferred in the Globe cemetery, on the
/ 9th instant. Public opinion in re-
gard to the action of Mr.. Bullock IS
sustained by the verdict Of the coro-
ner's jury, which pronounced it justi-
fable, as also by that of the examin-
ing court, which discharged Mr., Bull
lock from arrest.
| It is, however, possible, but not
! probable, that the grand jury may
take cognizance OF the case. In that
/ event it will result in no bill, as the
testimony already adduced, and neces-
sarily the same that will come before
the grand inquest Of tue county, must
acquit Mr., Bullock on the ground that
he acted in self defense, and was forced
| to jeopardise his life by taking that Of
Hatch.
| The fact is established that Hatch
after using abusive words to Bullock
said, 81 will see you later and went
in quest OF a pistol, He asked Charles
Holborn for ons, and being informed
by Mr.: Holbprn that he hal none,
Hatch went elsewhere and n about
three to FIVE minutes after thu appli.
cation to Holboru, the latter gentle
man heard the report of Firearms,
which he OWNED was the result Of a
difficulty between Hatch and omeone
else.
! FROM the testimony it appears that
Mr.. Hatch, who was under the in
fueDce Of liquor, entered MclNelly's
( saloon, and approaching Mr.. Alonzo
I Bailey and John Isaacs, who were
I standing at the bar talking, offered to
\ make bet with Dir. Bailey oi the
election. This the latter refused,
when Hatch became insulting, and
( accused Bailey Of selling out his party.
/ Whereupon NJ Bailey called hatch a
/ har and the latter made a movement
as though to strike him.
I 1t was at this iuncture that Mr..
Bullock interfered. He approached
/ from behind, pinioned Habh's arms
and turned him about. Ha.ch, there.
upon grew very angry and addressing
Bullock, demanded why he interEered
in his fight. Bullock replied that be
didn't want to see him whip man
half his size. 1t was then that Hatch
said an see you later, and went af.
ter a pistol.
Hatch returned in a few minutes,
entered the saloon and asked, Where
| is the s.. Of a B." Bullock was
not then present, but returned after
Hatch had gone out and was stand
ing at the corner Of the bar when
Hatch retuEued the second time. THE
latter approached him and demanded,
"why did you interfere With my fight. =
Bullock replied a did not waht TO see
| you lick a man half your sizsH Hatch
sald, "you had no business Interfering
with my fight" and then asked Bullock
if he wanted to fight bullock said
mo ! don't" Hatch then passed Out
Of the door, pulling bis /pistol at the
same tame and upoa reaching the
street, turned and remarking "this IL
the way / fight, leveled his weapon
and fred. Mr.. Bullock stood AZ the
corner Of the counter, Just inside the
door and in the full light of the lamps,
an excellent target for bis assailant
who was not more than twenty-five
feet distant from him, and IL was al.
most a miracle that Bullock was moi
hit, The ball passed close to his left
leg and buried itself in the counter
Bullock then drew bis pistol, advanced
to the door and fred, Hatch firing al.
most simultaneously. The latter kept
up fusilade, meanwhile retreating
until he reached Van Wageneas store
which be staggered into, aud placing
his hand upon bis groin from whicl
the blood was streaming, said to MI
Blacklidge, I've got it this time, ant
they have given it to me good, ol
words to that effect, and Immediately
fell TO the door. The wound was d
such nature and the loss Of blood *
great that medical aid was unayailing
and Mr., Hatch died at a quarter pas
twelve o'clock a. III, On Tuesday Mr
Bullock fred three shots, tue first be-
ing the one that struck Hatch.
