1t may have been meant for a diver
sion i'm favor of the prisoner, John
Evans, whom Patrolman Saul, accom-
panied by Lieutenant Williams, was
bringing along South Main avenue at
230 o'clock yesterday morning, or it
may have been meant for something
else. Anyhow, just as the officers were
seen coming along the avenue towards
it's intersection with Luzerne street a
crowd of young fellows, who were
standing in front of DeckelniCk's hotel,
started a fight, or at least two of them
mixed matters UP" and the others
abetted them.
Lieutenant Williams ran toward them
and they dispersed, but one. William
Sayers, thinking himself safe, stopped
after running a short distance and
wanted to explain matters. He was
taken to the West Side station house
and given time to explain both the first
trouble and also why he ViCiOuSly as

was walking. Alderman Davies did not
understand his explanation very well

did it to his friends.

John Evans, the young man who was
arrested early Wednesday morning,
charged with stabbing his two boon
companions. is still detained at the
West Side police station, having had
no hearing. The reason given is that
the condition of William Williams, one
of the men injured, is such that his at
tending physician, DR.. j. j. Roberts,
prefers to wait until this morning be-
fore pronounCing him out of danger.
The young man is suffering from eX-
treme nervous prOstration as a result
of the assault
William ]. Hopkins, the other in
jured man, is not at all in danger Dr.
p. J. Moylan, his attending physician,
considering his single wound merely
superficial. Hopkins wound is on the
left side, between the seventh and
eighth ribs, and is about an inch and
half long and about half an inch
deep. He lost considerable blood. Will
liams is wounded three times, one be-
ing a simple abrasion of the fleshy
part of the groin. The other two are
each about two inches long and from
an inch to an inch and a half deep.
one is situated near the clavicle bone,
near the left shoulder, and the other is
between the sixth and seventh ribs.
Evans himself received wound
which is nearly as dangerous as either
one of Williams He is left-handed,
and when he struck the blow at Will
liams near the heart the knife blade,
which is short, struck the rib and
glanced out, thus closing it on his
thumb. He split the thumb from end
to base, and DR.. Moylan had to put
four stitches in it to draw it together.
Evans claims that he got angry he
cause Williams spoke sneeringly to his
tEVansD mother when she objected to
beer being brought into her house, cs
pecially when she stepped out for n
few minutes. He further added that
when he gets angry he does not know
what he is doing, and does not remem-
Der what he did this time. He once
struck his brother with a stOve-lifter
in difference they had and made a
dangerous wound. Williams says that
the three We're together in the South
Side early in the afternoon and he had
drank some wine, but was not drunk.
He and Hopkins left Evans over there
| and went to Evans home, where they
were chatting with the women Of the
| household when Evans came in about
| $50 o'clock.
Mrs. Evans went out to a ncighbOr'S.
| and Hopkins proposed the getting of
! some beer and Evans went for it. 1t
! was poured out, but no one had drank,
! when Mrs Evans came back and see
! ing it, demonstrated. Williams says he
! told her she was misjudging him, and
did not take the beer. Evans jumped
up and, according to Williams, said he
would stab him for that.
Hopkins said, not him hut me, and
| Evans did. Williams jumped in and
| got his cuts. He left the house and
went to the residence Of Harry II.
| Browning. on Storrs avenue, about five
/ blocks away n queer feeling came
over him and he felt the blood for the
first time and tainted He has suf-
| fered from the shock ever since. Evans
