William Jackson, the colored Constable of the second ward who had the fight with 
Justice Landry reported in the Chief of Jan. 9, published a card describing the 
difficulty. He claims that the Judge struck him with a loaded cane, knocking him 
down, and then fired three shots at him besides beating him with the cane before 
he returned the fire that he fired while lying on the ground and after this got up 
and disarmed his antagonist. Both parties to this affray have about recovered from 
their injuries.
