HAMMER BLOW KILLED HIM.
Malcolm Kelley Was Attentive to An-
other Man's Wife.
Malcolm Kelley, the railroad laborer who was injured in a fight with Frank Harrison at 1736 1/2 Madison street last Friday night, died at the general city hospital Wednesday afternoon, presumably as a result of his wounds. The fight arose because Harrison thought that Kelley had been unduly attentive to Mrs. Harrison and started hostilities when he found the railroad man talking to the woman at her home. The injured man received a heavy blow from a machinist's hammer that fractured his skull and led to his death.
Harrison was given a preliminary examination before justice Miller yesterday morning on a charge of murder in the second degree. He pleaded self-defense and was admitted to bond for $5,000 on his own recognizance. He asserts that Kelly attempted to kill him with a razor.
