JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, May 27-John
Collins, one of the best-known young men
of this city, last night shot and probably
fatally wounded Joseph Craycroft, colored.
Collins claims that Craycroft was trying to
break into his house when he fired. Cray
croft, however, tells a different story. Both
he and his wife say that Collins sent for him
in the afternoon and asked him to come
back that night and carry some notes and
papers over to the Gait House, in Louisville.
Collins was arrested, but at once released on
bond The shooting took place about mid
night. The affair has caused quite a sem
sation. Collins is the Beau Brummel of JEFF
fersonville and considered quite high roller
in social circles.
