LUCAS CONDITION CRITICAL.
Maxwell Says That He Was Forced
to Use His Revolver

William Lucas, the negro who was
shot Tuesday night at Liberty and East
Broad streets. an account of which was
published in the Morning News yester-
day. is in a serious condition, and it is
not believed that he will live.
John Maxwell is still held at the police
station for having fired the shot that will
most likely cause the death of Lucas.
Maxwell insists that he was forced to
use his revolver and stated to a represen-
tative of the Morning News yesterday
that Lucas had been quareling with him
for several days. The prisoner says that
Lucas struck him and was advancing
when he drew his weapon and fired two
shots. The second ball entered Lucas
abdomen and he fell to the ground
Maxwell made no effort to escape and
was placed under arrest by Patrolman
Jernigan. The negro was employed as a
bartender by A. Mendel and bears a good
reputation with the police. Maxwell says
that he has no fear of an investigation
In the courts.
