GAITER IS ARRESTED

Negro Charged with a Murderous Assault.

John Gaiter, colored, who on April 15, laid in wait for Eugene Brown at the rear door of the Westcott hotel and slashed Brown with a knife, was arrested at Marion yesterday and brought back to this city Sunday by Officer Westenberg. He was arraigned this morning in police court, through his attorney, and his bond fixed at $1,500. He is charged with felonious assault and battery with intent to murder. Gaiter and Brown had had an argument last Monday about an order. Both are employed as waiters at the Westcott hotel. Gaiter went outside the back door that evening, and laid for Brown. When Brown came out, Gaiter slashed at him, wounding him over the heart, on the left leg above the knee and several other places, none of the wounds however were dangerous. The one slash over the heart would have resulted fatally if the knife had not struck a rib and glanced off. Gaiter disappeared and went to Marion where he secured employment as a waiter under the name of McNary. He sent for his clothes, Ninth and South B streets. They were shipped to Marion and he was arrested through this clue. He will be bound over to circuit court and tried there.
