Mysterious and Deadly Assault on a
Prominent New Orleans Lawyer.
Special to the Globe.
NEW ORLEANS, July 26.-Albert Shaw,
a prominent lawyer, was the victim of
most mysterious assault which threatens to
result fatally. He has been prominent
man in New Orleans for many years and
leader in the Republican party since its Or
ganiZation. He has been sheriff of the
parish. comptroller of the city, city super
intendent of public education and district
Judge, and under the administration of Gov.
Flanders was his chief adviser. About
O'Clock last night screams were heard from
Judge Shaw's residence. The neghbors
who ran out saw person. they could not
tell whether a man or woman, dressed in
Mother Hubbard and sunbonnet. leap the
fence and rush up the street. In the mean
time the Judges old colOred housekeeper,
hearing shreks from his room, entered.
She found him bathed in blood from two
severe wounds in his head. The weapon
used was a large blacksmith hammer, with
which the Judge had been twice struck over
the head,
THE BLOODY HAMMER
being found on the bed near his side. It
was evident that robbery was not the aim
of the aSSailant, for the judges pocketbook
and watch were on the mantelpiece uD
touched. The victim of this outrage eX-
.ceSses profound ignorance of how it oc-
urred. Although he was badly disfgured
was not thought at first that he was
dangerously injured, and he was allowed to
visit his Office. 1t then became evident
that the wound was a more serious one
than thought. He soon became wholly de-
lirious. and doctors were hastily summoned
who pronounced their patient IN great dam
ger. The affair is wrapped in mystery,
but the police declare there is woman at
the bottom of it, and woman's screams
were heard by number of persons when
the assault was made.
