Timothy Shortsleeves, the man shot by
Charles o'Neil in the latters bar-room on
Washington street, August 18th, died from
the effects of his wounds at 40 p. m. yester-
day. 1t will be remembered that Short
sleeves had peritonitis set in very soon after
the affair, but it was thought, some days
ago, that he might possibly recover as he
was so well. 1t appers that on Friday Short
sleeves began to fail. Yesterday his father
was with him and about 1 p. M. Shortsleeves
called him to him, told him he was about to
to die, and begged him to kiss his mother
goodbye for him, and, at the hour above
stated, expired Coroner Gould was notified
and the surgeons will make an autopsy this
morning. AT p. M. after the autopsy, the
coroner will hold an inquest. We do not
learn that the whereabouts of O'Neil have
yet been discovered.
