FREE, THOUGH He SHOT A Man.
No One Appeared to Make {
Charge Against Wright
Henderson May Die as the Result of
Barroom Fight.

Samuel Wright, saloon-keeper of S66
Hudson avenue, Brooklyn, was dis
charged from custody by Justice Tighe,
in the Butler Street Police Court, Brook
Ign, this morning because no one ap-
peared to make a charge against him.
Justice Gaynor's doctrine that a magis-
trate has no right to hold a man on in
formation and belief dominated the pro,
ceedings.
John Henderson, negro, of 20 Navy
street, is in the homeopathic Hospital
in a very critical condition, having been
shot by Wright last night during bar
room fracas.
La Mott, visited Wright's saloon, drank
several times and refused to pay for
their liquor. A row ensued and the
negroes left.
In about an hour they returned and
demanded more whiskey. Wright re-
fused to give 1t to them, and he says the
men threatened him.
He retreated behind the bar, picked up
a Colts 44-calibre revolver and prepared
to repel boarders. Several other negroes.
who had heard the noise, came into the
saloon, and Wright says things began to
look ugly for him.
bottles and other articles of barroom
furniture, and finally drew razors upon
him.
He says he fired two shots in the air,
but a third bullet struck Henderson in
the right hip. He fell to the floor, and
his associates ran away.
Policeman McGrath, of the Adams
street station, arrived in time to arrest
La Mott and Wright. Henderson waE
taken to the hospital. His life Is de-
SPARED OF.
La Mott refused to make a complaint
against Wright this moring, and he was
discharged.
Policeman McGrath could only tell Of
what he had heard and that would not
satisfy Judge Tighe. Henderson could moi
appear in court. Wright was discharged
but may be rearrested later, when some
one appears who is willing and compe.
tent to make a charge against him.
The revolver. raZors, tops of settler
bottles, and other weapons made a
very formidable array on the Judges
desk.
