Six Shots Ring Out In West Sixty-Second Street Poolroom Fight
Early morning gunfire near Louis Becker's poolroom on West Sixty-second Street led to three men being hospitalized. Victims include Thomas Vernon, 35, whitewasher, with two bullet wounds. Andrew Richardson, 29, a cook, shot in the temple. John Davis, alias Lamplighter, manager of Woods's Dance Hall, cut with a razor and badly bruised. Police dispersed a crowd of about 300 after lights went out. Davis, Richardson, and Vernon say Davis fired in self defense after quarrel over a woman escalated to a razor attack and gunfire. Davis claims Pierson and Richardson attacked him. Pierson allegedly seized him, Richardson slashed, Davis fired, then more shots as they fled. Police seek Davis's cousin, said to possess the revolver used.
