on March 4. 1t seems that the consul's
residence adjoins the county prison.
The consul was fired upon by soldier
from the prison wall. The bullet
whizzed close to his head. The shoot
ing created excitement. Hall has writ
ten the facts to Secretary Olney. 1t
was reported that the shooting was
accidental and the soldier was firing
on an escaping woman prisoner, but
Taussig asserts that IL was deliberate
attempt on the life of Hall. The news
that congress is about to recognize the
Cubans reached st. John on March 3
and caused considerable comment.
When Consul Hall asked Governor
General Marin for an explanation of the
occurrence" said Mr. Taussig ''the
governor told him with a smile upon
his fact that the shot was fired at a
woman who was looking over the wall
at the side of the public highway into
the prison."
Marin, asserted that II was the rule
of the prison for the guards to fire upon
any person looking over the wall. The
wall is but four feet high. and q person
passing along the street could not well
help seeing the prison yard. so the
explanation vouchsafed by General Ma
rim did not satisfy Consul Hail. who
thinks that the shot was fired at him
intentionally.
