RED BANK CHIEF
IN OWN DEFENSE
Says the Shooting Of Hughes
Was Accidental.

Red Bank, Oct. S:-Suit against
Chief Of Police Arthur L. Wymbs for
$4,000 damages brought by Joshua
Hughes, who charges the policeman
with having shot him, has been post
poned until the November term of
court. The chief asserts the shoot
ing was accidental. The postpone
ment of the suit is said to have been
due primarily to an alleged irregu-
larity in Hughes's complaint.
Hughes, the chief of police says,
was a participant in the midnight
browl in Riverside avenue on July 7
and was shot by accident. Residents
in the vicinity, alarmed by the noises,
sent for the police, Wymbs and Pa
trolman David Bray answering the
call. When the policemen drew near
they heard pistol shots and saw a
crowd scatter. Wymbs pursued a
man who proved to be Hughes. The
officer says his night stick tripped
him as he was about to fire in the
air. Hughes claims the bullet struck
and broke his arm. The fugitive vas
captured and taken to the Long
Branch hospital.
