BOATMAN IS SHOT IN FRONT ST. SALOON
BOATMAN IS SHOT IN FRONT ST. SALOON. John Hennessey of the Lehigh Valley Tug Ganoga is in the City Hospital with a Bullet Through His Right Lung—Charles J. Hathaway Arrested Charged with the Crime. John Hennessey, of the Lehigh Valley tugboat Ganoga, was shot in the right breast yesterday afternoon. Charles J. Hathaway, chief engineer on the same boat, is locked and accused of doing the shooting. The bullet went through Hennessey’s right lung and is now somewhere in his back. An effort will be made to remove it today. The shooting occurred in Fritz Speer’s saloon on Front street, about 4 o’clock. Officer William McDermott heard the shot and ran into the place as the bartender was coming out for help. He found Hennessey on a lounge in a side room where he had been helped after the assault. Hathway had fled from the saloon after firing and gone to the boat which was lying at Hall's dock. He had hidden himself in the lower hold and was found in his concealment by the officer who immediately arrested him. The two men. together with a third boatman, met outside of the saloon and entered together. They called for drinks and Hathaway and the other man are said to have drank theirs. An argument started and Hennessey struck Hathaway with his fist, it is alleged. Without any warning according to statement made the man jerked out a small thirty-two calibre revolver and shot. Hennessey fell to the floor. He was picked up and taken to a side room. Word was sent to police headquarters and Sergeant Dunham responded. Officer McDermott returned with his man. Hennessey identified him as the one firing the shot The wounded man bled but little. Dr. G. W. Fithian, who was called, examined the wound and had the man taken to the hospital. While his injury is very serious he may recover. When the officer arrested Hathway he is said to have admitted having committed the deed. This morning in court he refused to talk without consulting a lawyer. He is held. Bad blood has existed between the principals for some time according to the stories told. Hathaway was hired during the marine strike on the Val-i loy and considerable bad feeling has been held against him because he is known as a non-union engineer. Shortly after he was engaged, Hennessey was reduced from his position as pilot to deckhand. For this he claimed Hathaway was responsible and the two have had several clashes. The revolver was found this morning shortly before noon. It had five chambers, one of which was empty. Hathaway said he had thrown the weapon overboard. A search revealed it beneath some coal in one of the bunkers. The chief detective of the Lehigh Valley railroad, O. Lyden, ; and Superintendent of Tugboats, John T. Clark visited Hathaway in his cell at noon. After carefully investigating they found the case did not concern them, as it happened off the boat. This afternoon it was stated that the doctors did not think it advisable to attempt to remove the bullet today.

BOLD ATTACK AT FLORIDA GROVE. Woman Complains of an Assault – Struck Man in the Face and He Ran. Mrs. Richards, who lives at Florida Grove, says she was attacked by a man Monday afternoon. She was alone at the time and she had gone out to the woodpile. As she started to fill her arms with wood, a man came up the bank from the river. He was half drunk, she says, and demanded beer. When he was told the beer selling days of Florida Grove were over, he seized the woman by the throat, according to her statement and began choking her. Mrs. RIchards is an invalid but she had strength enough to strike out with a stick of wood which she held in her hand. The blow landed across the man’s face and blood flowed. The man, finding things going against him, ran, and Mrs. Richards returned to the house. She is suffering from the shock. Detective Huff investigated, but the man left no clues and it is not likely that he will be caught. Since the old Florida Grove has been closed the place has not been frequented. The Richards family lives in the house as a caretaker. The spot is lonely and well adapted to assault without fear of arrest.

Police Summoned to North AMboy – Man Said to be Her Husband…Met Her in the Woods as She was Going to Work – Her Cries Scared him off and help Arrived – Said to have Bad Record…Is now Awaiting a Hearing. Mrs. John Takac, who lives in North Amboy, near the Woodbridge junction, was attacked in the woods between her home this morning while on her way to work in the local cigar factory. The assailant is said to be her husband and the police arrested him this morning. The woman was slashed in the face twice with a knife. She was carried to her home where she lies in a delirious condition. A telephone message from the railroad tower summoned the police to the scene. The woman , it is said, does not live with her husband. She started to work about 6 o’clock this morning and was met in a lonely place in the woods. The woman called for help when assaulted and this scared the man away. Some of her friends hurried to her assistance and she was taken back home. An effort was then made to get medical assistance. In the meantime the husband returned to the house and fearing that he would do more harm, the police were summoned. At the sight of them the husband fled. He was employed at the American Smelting and Refining Company’s plant and the police went there in the hope of getting him. The man was evidently watching them, for when they left the house, he returned. A News reporter found him there later, but he could not speak English and he refused to talk through an interpreter. From a woman who lived in the house it was learned that the man was supposed to be living with several different women that a few days before the one who was attacked took him to task. The prisoner is now held in the lockup awaiting a hearing. It is thought the woman’s injuries are not serious.
