Near Murder is Staged on Isle-Only
prompt work on the part of the police
prevented a murder on City Island
when two drunken fishermen engaged
| in n desperate hal. TO hand combat
with razors, clubs aIsl bottles as wsap-
ons. Ben Williams was slashed across
the abdomen and across the left wrist
and was almost unconscious from loss
of blood when the authorities arrived.
His assailant, Bill Barnes, who was
battered over the head with a club,
was placed under arrest and this morn
! ing sentenced to so days in the county
jail on a charge of disorderly conduct.
Williams refused to appear against the
razor wielder and as a result was also
the recipient of a 30-day term on
similar charge. The fight was staged
in a shanty boat. Williams, Barnes
and Mike Murphy had been drinking
heavily and a quarrel was begun.
Barnes, who has only one arm, struck
Murphy in lhe jaw. You ought 10 be
ashamed of yourself for hitting an old
man." interposed Williams, who seized
club and started for the slugger.
Barnes threw two bottles and was in
turn smashed on the jaw with the
heavy club. Whipping out razor, the
one-armed man slashed Williams
across the stomach and also inflicted a
deep cutdn tie left wrist. The battle
was at its height when the authorities
arrived. Tie floor of the shanty boat
resembled a slaughter house. Williams
told the court his nets were out in the
river and that If he could not take
them in. he would lose his only means
of livelihood. AS a result Magistrate
Roddewig granted him until o'clock
this afternoon to store away his prop
erty and get back to Jail.
