"a Knife.
At 7:15 yesterday evening, r. S. Tay-
lor, living at No. 670 lin Street, was cut
four times with a pen knife. by w. A.
Rabbit, a resident Of Rockville. Taylor
was taken to Freedmen's Hospital, where
it was found that !oneiof the cuts pene-
trated the left lung and made an ugly
wound. The man is IN a very dangerous
condition, though his chances for recov-
cry are good unless other complications
set in.
1t seems that an old soldier named
Riley at one time lived with his wife in
the house with Taylor. but something oc-
Cured to mar the otherwise tranquil life
of the old man and he separated himself
from the wife of his bosom by going out
to Rockville and takingsa room with WA
Rabbit. Riley and Rabbit were in town
together yesterday and they drifted up in
the vicinity of Elm Street, and Riley
called to see his wife. There are several
stories as to what occurred when the
husband ard wife met
One is TO the effect that the husband af-
fecuonately threw an empty beer bottle
at the head of his spose. Another story
is to the effect that Rabbit threw the
beer bottle and was put out of the house,
together with Riley, and that Rabbit was
arrested and locked II at No. 8 station,
charged with disorderIy conduct. AT any
rate Rabbit was released from custody
at o'clock and left the station house, go

He met Taylor at the corner of Seventh
and the Boundary and straightway pro-
ceeded to stab him. There is one cut on
the mans left arm and three in the left

the heart OF his victim. who was able to
defend himself in a measure, though the
