NEW YORK. April 19-The latest
phase Of the once celebrated shooting az
fray between Major William Hancock
Clark and Wilton Randolph. in front OF
The clubhouse Of the Southern Society. is
the proposed dismissal OF the indictment
again Malnr Clark. The charge of as
sault in the first degree, and the punish
ment for the offence is not less than nVc
nor more than ten years in State prison.
Major Clark first appeared in this city
nearly twenty Years ago. lie comes OF
an illustrious Southern family ana he
saw service in the late Confederate army.
lie was an inspector in the customs
service for some years. and he has also
served as a clerk in the New York city

earliest members Of the Southern So
ciety.
Wilton Randolph another prominent
member of the Southern Society. became
involved in a dispute with Major Clark
I'm the societys clubhouse on January 10,
1880. No one has yet told Of the origin of
The trouble. Whatever the cause OF the
quarrel. the principals walked out on the
stoOp of the clubhouse, both much oX-
cited.
Mr. Randolph aimed a blow which
struck on Major Clarks cheek with a
loud smack. The Major fell back dazod.
and with a slight cut caused by Mr.
Randolph's ring.
Mr.. Randolph walked triumphantly
down the stoop and sauntercG towards
Broadway. Major Clark drew q rCVol-
Yer and fired at MIR. Randolph. Mr..
Randolph's saunter became a brisk walk.
Another crack of the pistol and Mr.
Randolph began 10 jog. a third shot
sent him into the Hoffman House 81 a
tremendous pace. pale big-eVcd and pant
ing.
Give me pistol. sir he said TO the
clerk land III teach the cOwardly scoun-
drol to shoot at an unarmed man"
But porters and clarks held Mr.. Ran
dolph None OF the bullets had hit him.
Major Clark sauntered home. II was not
until three days later that Major Clark
was arraicned in jefferson Market FoSce
Court He declared that he shot only 10

blow. and that ne ceased firing as soon as

Nevertheless. the Major was indicted
on January Is. 1890 and held In 5000 bail.
which was furnished by Broker Vernon
X. Stevenson. The case was set for
trial on March 70. 1890 but when the time
came il was found that Major Clark had

Mr.. Randolph died June 10. 1896. Major
Clark returned TO this city few months
ago. The case IS on the calendar before
Judge Mcmahon in the Court OF General

be practically impossible TO secure con-
viction.
