Selby was informed; and the lady and gentleman were shown to the parlor, in which were at the time three or four other persons.
Five minutes after two shots were fired in quick succession, and there was a rush to the parlor from which the reports came.
Col.

Selby was found lying on the floor, bleeding, but not dead.
Two gentlemen, who had just come in, had seized the lady, who made no resistance, and she was at once given in charge of a police officer who arrived.

The persons who were in the parlor agree substantially as to what occurred.

They had happened to be looking towards the door when the man--Col.

Selby--entered with his cane, and they looked at him, because he stopped as if surprised and frightened, and made a backward movement.
