ON ACCOUNT OF A BET.
Trolley Car Conductor John z. KEEL
Iy Stabbed by j. ID. Quisenby.

Iy Stabbed by j. ID. Quisenby
John f. Kelly. a trolley car conduc-
tor living at No. 9OS West Broad
street, was seriously cut yesterday by
J. D. Quisenby, another conductor.
The trouble occurred at the Bolton
junction of the Savannah, Thunderbolt
and Isle of Hope Railway Company.
Quisenby was sent to the police sta
ton house on charge of assault with
intent to murder. Bail was refused
because of the critical condition of
Kelly.
The men had gone to the junction
TO receive their salaries, and got into
a dispute over a bet that had been
made. Although there were quite a
number of conductors and motormen in
the Office at. the time of the trouble
there seems to be a difference of opin-
ION as TO who struck the first blow
II appears that Kelly made the state
ment that he was receiving 49, cents
an hour, and that Quisenby doubted
that he was getting more than 49,
cents.
A wager was laid, and when the men
received their pay Kelly proved the
assertion that he had made, and claim
ed the money that had been put up.
This caused an argument, and angry
words were passed, Quisenby. it is said.
obJecting to giving up his part of the
wager. Blows were passed, and it is
| said that Kelly made an effort to get
at Quisenby with a barrel stave. 1t
was about this time that the knife was
drawn, and the cutting done.
Kelly was cut in two places, and al
most bled to death before a physician
could be secured. One wound is six
inches in length. The blade entered
just over the right eye, and was drawn
in zigzag fashion around the cheek.
and under the chin. Another stab was
made in the throat. The services of
( DR.. j. c. Stothart were finally secured.
and the wounded man was removed TO
his home on West Broad street. 1t re-
| quired % stitches to close the two
wounds, and Kelly's chances for re-
| covery were looked upon as slim. His
| condition is still regarded as serious,
| although he has a chance for recovery.
