TN SERIOUS CONDITION
CHAS. W. BROWN SUFFERING
FROM STAB WOUND.

Charles w. Brown of 927 New Jersey ave-
nue. and Charles F. Taggart of Baltimore
met at the corner OF 9th and d streets and
engaged in an alteration last night Their
meeting on the corner followed a quarrel
that had occurred in saloon on D street
few minutes before II o'clock. Blows
passed between the men and then Taggart
drew knife and stabbed Brown in the alb
domen after he had slashed his wrist. Po-
liceman Downs and Special Policeman
Young reached the corner In time to pre-
vent the wounded man from falling TO the
sidewalk.
Taggart is employed in the navy yard
and has room at All c street northwest.
He left the vicinity of 9th and D streets
shortly after the trouble occurred and
went to his home Sergt. Lee went with
two officers to the c street house as soon
as the wounded man had been removed
to the Emergency Hospital and found Tag
CART, who had just reached there. Taggart
admitted that he had cut Brown, and said
he had done SO in self-defenSe.
When Brown reached the Emergency Hos
pital it was found that his condition was
serious. DR.. White, the resident surgeon,
decided that it was necessary to perform
an operation on account of the nature of
the wound in the abdomen, but the pa
tient positively refused to be operated
upon. He told the surgeon that he and Tag
CART had met in saloon on ID street and
engaged in an argument as to which was
the better man. He said he had INDUCED
In only two glasses of beer and that he was
not intoxicated. In his statement he blamed
Taggart for having caused the trouble. 1t
was stated at the hospital this morning
that the patient was still In serious con-
dition.
Taggart's Statement.
Taggart, whose age was given as TWEEN
ty-nine years, told the police that he had
done everything in his power to avoid
trouble with Brown. He said Brown was
under the influence of liquor while in the
saloon and that he caused trouble by MAX
ing fun of his CTaggart's) white hat. He
made himself so disagreeable. he said, that
he was ordered from the saloon. Brown,
he declared, waited at the corner of 9th
and d streets until he came along and re-
newed the difficulty. The prisoner told the
police that Brown threw a brick at him
and then struck him with his fist, and it
was not until he feared he was In danger
of bodily harm that he used his knife on
him.
Because of Browns serious condition the
police thought 1t best not to send the pris-
oner to the Police Court today, but to hold
him al the station to await the result of
the wound received by Brown. Should the
wounded mans condition improve by to-
morrow morning Taggart will then be taken
to court and committed to jail or released
on bond for his appearance.
