THE NEW YORK HERALD. WHOLE NO. 6758. Terrible Encounter of Pugilists in Broadway. BILL POOLE MORTALLY WOUNDED. THREE O THERS SHOT. ARREAT OF SEVERAL OF THE PARTIES, EXAMINATION BEFORE JUSTICE BRENNAN, EXCITING SCENES, &., &o., Mo. \At @ late hour on Satur‘ay night the drinking saloon uaown aa Stanwix Hall, in Proadway, opposite the Me- tropolitan Hotel, was the scone of one of the most ter- rifle fights that ever occurred between puvilists, and which in ail probability will terminate iv the death of one of the principal actors in the fearful drama, From the most reliable sources we have gathered the following facts and circumstances of the case, which has created the most intense excitement among the residents of the vity and its suburbs. On Saturday evening, while Fill Poole and some of his friends were drinking in Stanwix Hall, 579 Broadway, Jobn Morrissey entered the place, and it is sJuged inaultea Poole, when a light row occurred between them Morris- wey drew a pistol and presented it at Poole, who also drew a revolver and presented it at Morrinvey, Both parties dared each ctber to fire, but neither eeemod vill- ang to take the first shot, when the proprivtors of the house, Mesers, Dean & Dengle, stepped in between the belligerent parties, and, with the aid of a few of the friends of both parties, succecded in separating them. A message was seot to the Eighth ward station house for avsintance, which was quickly responded to, and a num ber of policemen going to the sceuw of the disturb ance, they found that Poole and Morrissey were uvendy ‘in the custody of two detailed policemen. Poole, in the custody of officer Hoyan, one of the Chief's shadows, was conveyed to the Fighth ward station house; but no one coming thera to make a complaint against him, ho was discharged, and went back to Stanwix Hall aga'n, for the purpoae of ma- king an apology to the preprietor of the house for the disturbance be bad caused. Morrissey was taken into custody by officer Rue, of the lower police court, much against the will of the Kigbth ward police, acd was taken by this detailed officer to the Fourteenth ward, where he was relearcd from actual custody, and set at liberty by the officer, Poole, thinking that officer Rue would take his prisoner to the Eighth ward station house, as the spot where he was arrested is situated in that ward, went there for the purpose of making a complaint against Morrissey for assault and battery, but found that he had not been taken there at all, but had been set at liberty inthe Fourteenth ward, and that he was them at Johnny Lyng’s place in Broadway, corner of Canal etrest. Poole then proceeded to Stanwix Ha'l again, and commenced talking about the muss he had with Morrissey to several of his friends that were in the saloon, Wine was drank, and the remainder of the evening was spent in talking the matter over. About half past 12 o'clock a carriage drove up to the door, and ix men alighting, entered ‘Le barroom where Poole and his companions were yet taluing, As they entered the room they were recognized as Louis Baker, late a police- man, Janes Turner, Patrick Mclaughlin, alias Paugene, Cornelius Linn, Charles Van Pelt and John Hyler. Poole ‘wae at this time standing with his back to the bar, and Jeaning on the counter, when McLaughlin, alias Pau. gene, came up to him in a threatening manner, and, catehing him by the coat collar, asked him to fight, used very opprobious epithets, and finaliy, when Poole would not return the as-gult, spat three times in his face. ‘Poole, however, seeing the desperate crowd that were sround, took no further notice of McLaugh- an’s acts than by saying, ‘That’s fine, isn’t te? It appears that Turner at this juncture pulled Mclaughlin away from Poole, and the latter at the ssme time moved towards the centre of the room, where he stood quietly. Turner seeing that it ‘was impossible to exasperate Poole #0 as to make him commence the affray, then cried out, ‘Let us sail into Lim anyhow,” and at the sams time he threw aside a cloak that he wore, drew out a large sized revolver, and Placing the muzzle of it over his left arm, so as to take a correct aim at Poole, who exclaimed, ‘For God's sake don’t wurder me,” he fired the revolver. but instead of the ball taking effect in the objett fired at, it truck Turner himeelf in the arm oa which he held the pistol at rest. It is supposed that some one coming bebind him at the moment of his pulling the trigger, the muzzle was lowered so as to point it directly against the arm, when, the weapon going off, bis arm was badly shatter- ed, Turner fell on the floor om being wounded, aod commenced firing his weapon at Poo e while in that po- ion; one of the balls taking effect in Poole’s leg, he was brought to theground, Baker, it is alleged, thea ran to where Poole was lying bleeding, and placing the muzrle of a revolver against his breast, and saying, ‘I will put you out of the way now,” palled the trigger, and the pistol ¢ischarging, the ball entered Poole’s left nide, just below the heart. The scene that took piace at this time baffies description. Turner, who was lying on the ground wounded by himself, fred his weapon at al around him, end succeeded at last in hitting his own friend, Baker. Charles Lozier ran to the assistance of Poole, who was in ® dying condition, and while endea- voring to lift him from the ground was fired at three or four times, but one ball alone took effect, and that atruck him in the head, producing a scalp wound, which looked very much like as if cut with a knife—a round piece of his scalp, about the size of « dollar, being en- tirely cut away. Seeing that the work of execution bad ‘been cone, the whole party left the house by the side door ; but it seems that even here they turned back, and discharged a few more barrels at the body of Poole, as be lay bleeding on the floor As the entire affray did not occupy more than afew minutes, Poole’s arsailanta escaped before any polico- men made their appearance, and on attempt being made to stop one of them after leavicg the saloon, the revolver waa again brought int» use, but fortunately without apy bad result, as the ball, going wide of the mark,-entered the barroom door of Peter Farlow, on the corner of Prince street, without doing ary lnjury. Toe number of shote fired, and the genera! excitement attending the fracas, attracted the atten- tion of the Bighth ward police. A party of men, headed by Capt. Tornbull, entered the premises a few minutes “after the party had escaped. Immediate attention was paid to the wounded. Poole was placed on the counter, where he Iny almost lifeless. Medical men were sent for, and in a few minutes Drs. Cheeseman and Putnam arrived on the spot, and rendered all the assistance in ‘their power, The wound was probed, and it way found ‘to bave penetrated to the depth of about an inch and « half, where all traces of the ball, or its copree, were lost, The wounded man, previous to thelr arrival, hat fainted away, his hands and feet became cold, and at *thought he was about to breathe his last, but they were astonished to find that in » few minutes after he opened his eyes, and spoke to them in @ manner very encouraging to them. Attended by three physicians, Poole remained here for the remain der of the night, and towards moruing, contrary to the expectations of the doctors, he became much better and seemed so cheerful tha: it was thoagbt bis remors to Bf dangerous, and accordingly, morning. eda » he war taken to hia residence ia Trrin.ap) er atreet, carefully attended during the w soln time by the physicians, Captain Carcbuil, seeing ths the he was in quest of liad ovoaped mai w by time he arrived at Stanwix Hail, secarely « to the residence tintd, proceeded of Jastion Bre White street, and waking him a relate yb £ the fair to bi the same time stating new where the fugitives were coneraled, but he thought it would require the presence of » magistrate to e'fect an entrance to such houses as be might suspect to be the bi lace of Baker and the rest of the party, Ac- cordingly Justice Brennan got out of bed and went —_ with the captain of the Eighth ward police, an ‘he men under his commacd commenced a strict search after these individuals. The house of Jobony Lyng was visited. The outside of the emisea were atrictly guarded while Capt Rimnboll and Justice Brennan enterel the house commenced a search after the parties. Melwughlio ant ‘Turner were found without much trouble, bot Baker wax fot to be found, although every nook and corner of the were oil searched ‘nking it probable that through the rear, @ posse of men were smutenaeb te tee rear, while nnotber party commenced « rigorous search among 8! the yards Of the buildings ad joining. ‘The entire block, bounded by Broxdway, Ca wnd Walker streets, was searched, but wisrout suc the bird bad flown before the arrival of the police, aud Was, ere ibe oftivers were aware of it, safe beyood the precincts of the city, as it was reported yesterday af- ternoon that his friends, engaging a carriage, had’ bim conveyed from the city. ‘ibe police have’ traced bi; flight os far os a drvg store, where he got his wounds dressed, aud then crove off wt @ rapid rate, for fear the ‘police should overtake him, m0 suppese, however, that Baker st:il remains concealed in tbe city, ond will not leave his hidiog place until he bears of the result of Poole’s injuries, ‘Turner, who was fount to have been badly wounded, was al- lowed to remain at Lyng’s piace in charge of two oill- cer until morning, but Paugene, alias McLaagalin, was taken to the Eighth ward station house, as was also Van Pett, alleged to have been one of the party, but who, it appears, did oll in hia power to prevent blootshed, From the Eighth ward station bouse McLaugblaa and Van Pelt were conveyed to the Jefferson Market police court prisen, where they are now incarcerated Justice Prepoun, thinking it probavie that Turner might by some chance escape irom the oflicers whil ng’ place, rent down a commitment for Lis conveyance to the Tombs in the bands of Captain Dowlivg, of the Sixth ward police, whe accordingly brought him to the city prison, and locked him up, although much against the wish of the physician who attenced him, who considered the removal of his patient highly dangerous, but never- theless the mi ‘rate thought the most prudent man- ner to dispose of hitn was to have bim confined in prison, where he could receive all the medieal assistance he needed. Aa Baker coulé not be found yesterday, Captain ‘Turnbull decided to vend on a telegraphic cespateh to Philadelphia, warning tue authorities in that city of the excape of Baker, with a caution to be on the lockout for him should he have started in the five o'clock train yes- verday. The arrangements for the capture of Bater are such that it will be almost impossible for him toescape from the bands of justic Poole, up to last evening, is slowly reviving, but it is the opinion of the doctors attending him that be can- not live although be himself declares that he ‘will not cie,” and will “soon be well’? Itis astonishing that be “not receive more wounds than he ¢ai, for no less than ‘our bullet holes are plainly visible in his coat tails, showing that at least half a dozen shots must have been frcd at bim, Voole’s pistol, on the occasion, was found on tke floor by the police, with all barrels loaded, and not a cap exploded, show'ng conclusively that he cid nct fire a shot in the melee.

PROCEEDINGS IN THE POLICE COURT. During Sunday morning the most intease excitement prevailed throughout the sity, irom the imperfect aod exaggerated rumors afloat, which had spread like wild- fire. It was anid that Poole was shot dead, and no less than four others fatally wounded, aud that the fight continued, at intervals, for three or four hours; and’ morcover, that the police officers bad been shot at, and were unable, or fearful, of performing their duty and arresting the offending partics. ‘Tho ‘fancy’? were, of courte, greatly excited, and the scene of the fearful encounter was visited during the moraing by a number of persons avxious to learn all the particulars, Here it was ascertained that Captalo Turnbull, of the Fighth ward police, had eflected the arrest of soma of the par- ties engaged in the affray, and numbers found their wey to the police station to inquire into the facts. The Jeilereon Market Volice Court was also visited, where it Was said the investigation wae to come oil at halt-past Owing, however, to the fact that the witnesses of t fray were in no condi- tion to ap. to testify, the examiaution was post poned until & o'clock in the afternoon, at which time the Valice Conrt was crowded to excess with persons anxious to learn something in reference to the encoun ter, as the stories in circulation were coutradictory, though not more astonishing than the facts really proved them to be. The examination was conducted before Justice Iscen- nan; and the testimony of Messrs Deagiv, Ackorson and Campbell, was listened to with iatease foterost by the crowded auditory. it will be recollecte 4 that it was in this court that Turner and Baver were tried, but a few weeks ago, tor an attempt on the life of Tom Hyer, and were held to bail. ‘The following are all the affidavits taken in the case avd eworn to before Justice Breanan:— AFFIDAVIT OF JACOB ACKEASON, Jacob Ackerson, ot No 24 Charles stréet, being duly sworn, «ays, that oa Sunday morviag avout one o'clock he was prosent during an allray that occurred at Staa- wix Hail, 570 Browdeay, aod kaw officers and t with bia back against the counter, when Paug five others came into the house; Paugene sai he entered as #000 By ‘there is the black muzzled sou of a b—h;” no reply; Pargene said he wanted to tigat ‘ene then seized Poole by the cost collar aad spat in bis face three times; and then Mr, Campbell in between them; also Charies Van Pelt teed to get ‘eugene avay from Poole; Paugene then attempted to strike Van V'cit; Vools then got aay from Jaugene; aad then Turner took off his c at and turew it on the coun- ter, and drew a pistol aod sais, ‘ now let's sail in,” and discharged his pistol_ond received ths contents in his arm, and fell on tne floor, and while on the tloor discharged hie pistol ‘again, and shot Poole in the Poole staggered and fell, aad Baker said, ‘1 guess I will take you aayhow "’ and put hi knee on Poole while he lay on tue flcor, and fired h pistol at bis breast; Jeponent then saw’ Paugene di charge a pistol at Charles Lozier, ths contents of wh entered his head; Lozier then stepped up to depo- nent and said, “Jake fozier is gone,’’ I then turoed around and saw Poole standing, hold ng on to the door, about tea minutes, and afterwards fell, aad ceponent arnisted in laying him on the counter, Aud further de- ponent eaith not.
