MAY DE TRIED AGAIN.
EN-POliceman Terry I'm Danger of
Further Punishment.

Ex-Police:ran Chas. b. Terry who SHOT
Willis Washington. a young colored man,
i'm December last, on L rear 14th street
may now be called to answer a more s, rious
charge than that of which he was convict
ed tn, 2:,d Of last May, Washington having
died from the effects OF the wound night
before last.
Terry, 1t will be remembered shot Wash
ington during the Jack the Slasher'
scare. The ball strr ok Washington in the
back. iniuring the spinal column. For some
time it was believed that the wound was a
mortal one. end Terry was committed to
Jail to await the result of the injury. Wash
In gton recovered sufficiently to allow his
removal TO his home. but the physicians
stated that he would be laralyzed for life.
and that it was not improbat lie that deaf tn
would ensue. as a result of the injury, In a
comparatively short time
Terry was admitted to bail upon Wash
ington's discharge from the hospital, and
subsequently, tried upon an indictment
charging him with assaulting Washing ton
with intent to kill. The trial took place be-
fore Judge McComas, wbo upon Terry's
conviction. sentenced him, the sth of June
last, to three years in the Albany pen-
ten tiary, the sentence to take effect from
the day of imposition.
Upon a motion for a new trial being over
ruled an appeal to the Court of Appeals
ton of District Attorney Birney, the Court
of Appeals directed that the appeal be dis
missed because the appeal had not been
perfected within the forty days granted
therefor by the trial court. That action of
the Appellate Court. 1t is understood, killed
all chances of Terry for a new trial.
Upon being questioned this afternoon
as to whether Terry's conviction of the
charge of assault with intent to kill pre-
vented the eX-policeman from being tried
for graver ofense, District Attorney Biz
ney stated TO Star reporter that it did
not. Washington, explained Mr.. Birney
having been shot in December last his
death night before last occurred within
a year and a day thereafter. Hence: there
was nothing to prevent trial of Terry for
homicide, murder or manSiauShter OF
course, said Mr Birney, Terry could only
he tried after being indicted for either
crime. Whether he would be SO indicted
Mr.. Birney stated that he could not now
say. That would be matter to be further
considered. but he was of the opinion that
Terry'S conviction on the charge of as
Sault with intent to kill would not, upon
an indictment for murder manslaughter
prevent him from being tried and convicted
of either of the two graver Offenses. Terry,
since his conviction. has remained in JAIL
awaiting the disposition of his appeal.

called him an insulting name. Witness saw
toxicated. Shortly afterward Patterson
came cut of the saloon. when Brooks fol-
lowed him a short distance down the street,
ana struck him with brick or with his
fist, knocking him down. A crowd gathered
about him, among whom were Dasher and
Jones.

woman, testified that she saw Brooks strike
Patterson several times the latter came
out of the saloon, knocking him down. A
crowd followed Patterson out of the saloon
and gathered about him. one of them being
Dasher. Whether Patterson was struck or
kicked after being knocked down witness
did not know.
Catherine Patten, white woman, stated
that she saw Brooks strike Patterson two
or three times just outside the saloon.
Patterson, she said, did not strike back
but attempted to get away. moment
later she saw Dasher strike Patterson with
brick, knocking him down. and kicking
him while down. She also heard Dasher
