HOW WAS MULLEN SHOT?
He Has a Bullet in His
Lung.
WAS WOUNDED WHILE RUNNING
DR.. Biooksom Thinks Harry Mullen. who
Gave HIS Name as John Duff, May
Possibly Recover From bad Wound
Although He Cannot Get the Ball.

The "John Duffy" who dragged him
forty-eight hours ago. gRsping
has proved to be Harry, better known as
"Whlskers" Mullen and he Is lying at
his home, No 525 West Front street. 10
any ything but an encouraging condition
Mullen has studiouslv avoided all
questions as TO how the ugly wound was
n fcted and positively refused TO tell
how he was shot.
Some Of his companions informed an
EVENING JOURNAL reporter to-day that
thsy had sesn Mullen trying TO walR In
from the West Yard, holding on to bis
back, Just before it WAS known around
DR. Blocksom's Office that man was IN
there who had been shot
The shooting. It Is said, could not have
been accidental and was not done by
"Whlskers" himself as the ball entered
his back below the shoulder blades
and took a downward course lodging in
the pleura He was therefore shot at
shot range and while running at lively
rate.
DR. Blocksom, who has probed for the
ball and is still attending the wounded
man, canuct recover the bullet.
aud II Mullen does succeed ttm
porarily In his battle for life,
he must 60 about with a bullet In his
lung.
Another man lives In Wilmington,
however. who carries a bullet IN his
laug, almost parallel case aud
one that has gone down In medical his
tory as a remarkable one. He Is Nell
benny, the man who was shot ia quar-
rel with his neighbor William J q,
Dun seith. fs years ago
DR.. Blocksom has hopes for Mullen,
whose previously strong constitution
may be great help to him
Ia this seige. He was better
to-day than last night when, II is said
there were grave fears Of his recovery.
