Hattiesburg, Miss., August 17.—After receiving one bullet straight through the heart and another entirely through the head, Charles Williams, a negro, of this city, has survived for three days and will probably recover.
The wounds were inflicted by a 32-calibre revolver, fired at short range. Williams fell over as if dead. The undertaker was telephoned for, but a surgeon had arrived in the meantime, and when the undertaker's wagon arrived the wounded negro was able to sit up. Since then he has been eating heartily, and the physicians venture the opinion that he will recover if no complications arise.
