J. Henry Morgan, negro, was shot and seriously wounded by Lester Johnson, another negro, as the outcome of a reported gambling game near the Seaboard roundhouse Saturday evening about 7 o’clock. Johnson ran after firing one bullet and had not been located by policemen Saturday night late.
Morgan was taken to the Good Samaritan hospital where an operation was performed in a search for the bullet. The ball entered the chest. It was not known if the lungs had been penetrated.
