Story of the Case.

saturday, December II, 1894 was cold
clear day and about II o'clock there were
number of people or Weybos street
who were surprised To see or hear pistol
shots on that highway. Osceola r. Cook,
colored man, weighing 369 pounds who
was well known on the street came down
Weybosset street and David 4. Lingane
manager oil The Telegram was on his way
up the same street To the Arcade which
building he intended To pass through i'm
order that he might go TO the First Ma
tional Bank in the Brownell Building on
Westminster street. Ii was not the
shortest way To the bank but il was the
way Mr.. Lingape generally took TO go
there. George Wallace was in the com
pany OF Cook, who seemed TO have de-
sire to look upon Mr.. Lingane. Cook left
Wallace and crossed To the curbstone.
Lingane was but eight feet away, and
testimony differed as to what immedi-
atcly followed. The state testimony in
troduced at the many hearings was TO the
ELECT that LinRane, without any overt
act on the part Of Cook pulled revolver
that he carried in his coat pocket and sho;
at Cook, one of the bullets from the five
cham bered weapon taking effect in Cooks
chin. Lingane claims that as he was
going up the street he suddenly saw
flashed In his face something that looked
bright. This was rawhidc whip that
Cook had carried for several days, and
Llngane says that Cook struck him with
the whip and then the pistol was used.
simply To defend himself from danger
Gus weapon in the hands of big fellow
who had threatened him with bodily
harm. The shooting caused intense ex-
citomcnt.
Lingane went to the city hall and told
his story after the shooting COMPLAINT
was made against him and he gave bail.
Coo. was taken Co the Rhode Island Hos
pltal and his wound dressed. Owing TO
the massive size of his jaw the wound
which would TO an ordinary person prove
pretty serious affair, did hot trouble
him great deal.
Inc city police authorities refused Co
enter u complaint against Cook owing

Lingane. The latter then made a private
complaint Both complaints were heard
