With Bullet In His Heart Man Lives Ten Hours After Being Shot

Savannah, Feb. 18 – Lived with a bullet hole through his heart is the record in 
the case of Harry Fender, who was fatally shot by Henry Brooks, a negro.  A 
post-mortem revealed that the bullet which ended Fender’s life passed through 
the left lung and the lower portion of the heart.  Fender was kept alive for 
ten hours by the use of a salt solution.

The police have found an eyewitness to the shooting, M.H. Patterson, a white 
man, who positively identified Brooks as the man.  Patterson says that he heard 
the negro threaten to shoot if Fender attempted to arrest him and that he saw 
the shots fired.
