Habeas corpus proceedings in the case of Louis Uzzell, colored, being held in the Wayne county jail on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill on one James Hill, also colored, were heard before Judge F.A. Daniels in the city yesterday afternoon, and the defendant admitted to bail in the sum of $2,500.
The arrest and incarceration of Uzzell followed “a shooting bee” at a colored baseball game in New Hope township on last Saturday afternoon, after Uzzell and Hill had a disagreement as a result of the game.
Witnesses stated that the two men engaged in an altercation which resulted in Uzzell drawing his revolver and shooting Hill.
The wounded man is said to be in rather a serious condition at the present time.
The case was set for trial at the November term of court.
