JUDGE BRockMAN is DYING.
Well Known Houston Attorney Re.
ceives Six Bullet Wounds.

Houston, Texas, Oct. 25.-Judge
James B. Brockman of this city, one
of the leading criminal lawyers of the
state, is dying at the Houston Infirm
airy as the result of six pistol wounds
received in the stormach and right
side on Tuesday night at 11:40 o'clock
near the corner of Franklin avenue
and San Jacinto street. Henry Ran
some, an eX-ranger and at present
employed by Mayor Rice for special
police work, surrendered and was
taken to the county Jail shortly after
the shooting.
The shooting is an outgrowth OF
the killing of Night Chief of Police
Murphy on last April 1, for which
Earl McFarlane is now in Jail await
ing trial, the case being set for No
vember 16 at Galveston. Ransome
was accompanied by Jules Baker, an
other special officer employed by
Mayor Rice, and so far as is known
there were no other eye-witnesses to
the shooting Both men declined to
make statement.
After he had been struck by several
bullets Judge Brockman ran from
the middle of Franklin avenue onto
the sidewalk of the Crown bar at the
corner of Franklin and San Jacinto
F. S. Crook, the proprietor of the bar,
was the first to reach the wounded
man. Mr.. Crook states that Judge
Brockman came running to the side
walk crying Murder" and fell par
TALLY through the front door of his
place. When Mr.. Crook reached him
the wounded man was lying oh his
back, holding both hands over his
stomach, and upon being questioned
stated in calmer tones that he had
been shot by Henry Ransome.
A policeman arriving on the scene
from up Franklin avenue arrested a |
stranger and brought him before |
Judge Brockman. No. said Judge
Brockman, that is not the man. l
tell you Ransome shot me-"
Immediately after the shooting
Ransome and Baker walked into the
freight office of the International and |
Great Northern railway, directly
across the street from the Crown bar,
and calling up the police station over
the telephone informed the clerk of
the occurrence. Two officers were
rushed to the scene, which is only two
blocks from the station, and Ransome
placed himself in their charge
