Lieutenant Patrick McKenna of the Central
! District last night, when he was brought In
by Special Officer Murphy on the charge OF
assault to kill.
Thomas DAILY, railroad conductor, who
refused to give the police his address. lies
at the City Hospital bearing every evidence
that Callahan's statement to Lieutenant
McKenna is the truth. His throat is cut
from ear to ear and the hospital surgeons
have little hope of saving his life.
Knowing his condition to be serious. Daily
refused to talk Of the fight, and although
Callahan was brought before him for iden-
tification, he refused to say whether the
prisoner was the man who cut him. He IL
held as a prisoner at the hospital.
Callahan had washed the blood from
Daly's wound Of the razor with which he
cut the patient when Special Omcer Murphy
arrested him. He was standing on the cor
ner OF Sixth and Market streets when found,
q witness pointing him out to the officer.
why did you cut this man. Lieutenant
McKenna asked the prisoner when he was
brought into the Central District Station;
he so GEaR eaeK to and s sai4
ne would kill me- answered Callahan
Il tried my best to cut his head on when
he said that. only acted in self-defense.
The cutting occurred on the corner Of
Sixth and Market streets. in the midst OF
q crowd of men, women and children. VINO
were watching the fire at Mound City Snoe
-Companys factory.
The police were unable to find any per-
SON who could give any Information as TO
lne cause of the fight. but from remarks
made by Callahan and DAILY It is believed
the quarrel started in a saloon on the
corner OF Sixth and Market streets over
the merits OF two bartenders, and was re-
ueved on the sidewalk.
Callahan told the police that he had been
ernpIoyed as q brakeman and came to st.
