his mind and was Ia a serious condition.
/ According TO reports, the negro Hunter
a who shot Guards Hastings and McCul-
J. loush had fancied grievance against
Hastings because he was taken from his
r employment In tho shop in Docembcr
last. Guard Hastings was ON shop duty
at the time, and detected strange actions
I on tho part Of Hunter that resulted In
r Warden Crawford condning Hunter to his
o cell during the winter. II is thought that
8 Hunter harbored this against Guard Hast
p ngs and attacked him at tho first oppor-
e tunity.
Hunter lay for FIVE hours in the work
house hospital before receiving medical
\ treatment. Drs. Rumford and McCulley
gave their attention to tho wounded
guards and accompanied them to the Del
aware Hospital. after which Or. Rumford
returned to tho worlShouse to attend Hun
ter. The negro's condition was such that
, he was beyond medical aid. however
