POLLING PLACE
Colored Man Arrested for
the Murder At Second
and King

A riot at Second and King streets
which was started by a crowd of ne
groes early this evening resulted in the
death OF Harvey Miller. colored. who is
alleged to have been shot by John Bell,
also colored. Miller after being shot
was removed to the Delaware Hospital.
where he died and his body was then
taken to the morgue. Bell who is said
to have done the shooting, was placed
under arrest by Ofcer Daniel Eakin
and is now in a cell at the police sta
ton.
The shooting took place shortly after
the polls were closed at the voting
place, No. 10 East Second street,
which is the first district of the Sec
ond ward A number Of persons who
were in the vicinity at the time, say
as far as they could learn. it was
started without any prOvocation.
About 615 o'clock crowd OF probably
thirty colored men congregated at the
corner of Second and King streets.
They then walked down Second street
to the polling place. which was locked.
and without any warning hammered in
the door. This started a riot at once.
and during the excitement two shots
were fired and one Of them hit Miller
in the breast.
A number of officers were on the
scene in a few minutes, but the crowd
had already scattered. officer Eeakin
ran up from the railroad station and i'm
turning the corner at Second and
French streets ran into Bell. The lat
ter had a pistol in his hand and is said
to have attempted to shoot the officer.
Eakin placed him under arrest and
took him to the police station. It is
said that Bell tried to shoot Thomas
Rafferty,. who is inspector OF the dis
trict. but the bullet went astray and
hit Miller
Miller was found on the sidewalk and
died in about thirty minutes after be-
ing shot. When the crowd broke in the
door someone upset lamp. which
started a fire. but it was extinguished
before it gained any headway.
The dead man was identified at the
morgue by some of his friends Both
Miller and Bell lived beyond Third
street bridge. The former drove a
wagon for Charles Colbourne.
