TWO BULLETS
IN A ''RUMPTY
JACKSON" MAN
Negro Janitor Tells Of Shoot.
ing Which Wounded AssaiI-
ant Tries to Conceal.

whsa Billy Flynn gets a of l:elle,
u Hcspita1, he will take the law in
his own hands and there probably will
be another shooting somewhere about
Fourteenth street and Third avenue.
Flynn walked into Bellevue Hospital
late last night with a bullet wound in
his back and another in the arm. He
declared he did not know who shot him
said he saw a fight at Fourteenth
street and Third avenue; ''butted in
and got shot"
Besides, IL 1 did know, I wouldn't
tell" said he. I'D get even with the
skate myself
The police learned there had been a
fusillade of shots in Thirteenth street
and arrested William Hines, the negro
janitor, of No. go East Thirteenth
street. Hines said:
'Sure, l shot a man. Three OF them
came in here and one of them had a
knife. so l Just plugged away. Last
Thursday l was down at the police sta
ton and asked for protection. / knew
1t was coming"
At the hospital Flynn looked at the
negro and refused TO identify him.
Later the police arrested Edward Far
rell and the negro identified him as one
of the three that came TO his place. and
said Farrell had a carving knife. Then
Farrell told the police that Hines nae
shot Flynn.
Farrell was charged with attempted
felonious assault, and Hines. who had
six fresh cartridges in his gun, was
charged with felonious assault. The
police say it was an outbreak of the
remnants of the "Humptv Jackson
ang hey expect another one when
Flynn gets out.
