this way Four or live negroes came in and ordered beer and throw down a quar q ter As drinks are25 cents each to colored men my father who was the bartender asked them to put up the balance of the

for the drinks One of them said Go 10 1 you of a Thcn tho small ost one a I little bit o a fellow began to crowd up to me and I said Stand back little follow Hland back Just then I heard the report of a i gun and felt something strike me here on the head Then I opened lire at them and emptied the five shots In my gun That Is all there la I to It While Maddlck insisted that he was struck in the head by a bullet Dr Wllcher who examined his wound says tho Injury was probably Inflicted bv a iwk or some burnt instrument The physicians diagnosis Is also borne out by Jake Flohn who saw the beginning be-ginning of the row and declares that one of the negroes struck Maddlck over the head with something that icseni bled a slungsot Flohn says however I i I that he only heard four shots and that I ho didnt see any of the negroes do any shooting The boy who was shot Is Andrew Roy White aged about 1C years and who Roy White aged about Id years and has had a varied experience During the Cuban war he

ond South street car Conductor Pas I coe saw the affray I was about 908 I I I p m and the car had stopped Capt Samuel Paul and a Tribune reporter I were on the car as were also several ladles and children The first noise heard was a mufilcd shot followed by another These sounded exactly as if I something had broken on the roof of the car The first sight was a party of men bursting from the swingdoors of the Link saloon Almost Instantaneously Instan-taneously a white man stood far out and with swinging arms fired at tho fleeing forms Four shots rang out making six In all He was seen to distinctly dis-tinctly raise his arm each time and the flashes were easily seen The man gave the appearance to the excited onlookers on-lookers of a crazy man and remarks to that effect were made by several In the car The man after firing four times went back into the saloon and almost Immediately reappeared with a pistol In his hand and made a movement move-ment to start shooting again At this tho people In the car were told to get down below the windows and Capt Paul told Conductor Pascoc to hurry I and get out of range with tho car By this time dozens were running to the I scene and five or six police ofilccrs were quickly there when the man who nrovcd to Maddlck was quickly disarmed I EYEWITNESSES STORIES I What a Barber Says He Saw from Across the Street John Burns the colored barber glyos the foHowIng statement of the shooting as he saw i from an upper window across the street I was sitting In the window when my sisterinlaw called my attention to the fact that five soldiers sol-diers were going Into the saloon and she remarked at the time there was liable to be trouble I saw the men go up to the bar order drinks and then n few seconds later they made a rush for I tho outside The old man Maddlck ran out with R big gun and appeared to hand it to a man who stood In the doorway door-way or near the doorway A few seconds sec-onds later the man began to shoot and fred five shots in all hitting White and Peaisall The latter was standing near a telephony poleMn the center of the street in company with some other colored men They had nothing to do with the affair however one way or the other As I remember it the old man said to the young one not to shoot but he did Two of the shots appeared to be I fred In a very wild manner and It Is 0 wonder that more people were not hit as there were several people waiting for the car at the time I heard five shots Jim Bradley also colored Bald I Pearsall and 1 were standing near tho telephone polo In tho street when the I men came out of the saloon The old man followed them with a gun which1 he either handed to the young man or the young man took It from him Anyway Any-way I heard some one say Dont shoot and joon after that the shooting shoot-ing began When Pcarsall wan hit he was close to me and I heard him say Why lies got me Then he got another anoth-er lot and then ho started toward the I crowd The five men went east and were ordered back by tile man who had the pistol but they refused to obey him saying that he might go to hell for all I they cared Then it I was that White stopped up and said that rather than havd any trouble about it he would pay for the drinks but the young man started shooting and did not stop until ho had emptied the gun His actions I man than were more those of D crazy anything else I can think oL I Maddlck will probably be arraigned before Judgo Tlmmony today but the preliminary examination may not beheld be-held for several days el Ills friends expect that he will
