The Daily Dispatch: November 5, 1860., [Electronic resource], Serious assault. (search)
Serious assault.
--In Albany, N. Y., on the 2d inst., a lawyer of that city, named John Percy, entered the premises kept by John Canfield as a porter-house, on Broadway, and committed a violent assault upon him, throwing a handful of Scotch snuff in his eyes and then beating him over the head with a heavy cane, making three bad wounds.
Canfield drew a revolver and shot Percy twice, both balls entering the stomach.
Percy cannot survive.
The quarrel arose out of a suit for the possession of the premises occupied by Canfield.
