Stevens Is at the point of death in the Grady hospital. McDonald, for whom the police had been searching all day. denied abso lutely any connection whatever with the case. He declared he knew noth ing of the stabbing until he read of it In the newspapers. Stevens was taken to the .hospital with a gaping wound extending several inches across his abdomen. Glen Bul lard, of College Park, who was with Stevens, made the accusation against McDonald, and the police began a city wide hunt for the waiter. At Grady hospital the physicians said Stevens had little chance for life. Stevens gave a remarkable exhibition of nerve on the operating table, refus ing Ihe use of an anesthetic. He urged the physicians to keep the affair a se cret from his parents and smiled grimy ly as the gaping wound was sewed to get her. According to Bullard’s version of the shooting. Stevens. McDonald and three other young men stopped in a cigar stand on Pryor street to get some ciga rettes. Stevens and McDonald got into a row. No one thought the affair was at all serious. Stevens displayed a shoe buttoner as his ‘'weapon” and McDon ald drew a small pearl-handled pen knife. Out on the sidewalk the argument was renewed and Stevens is said to have slapped McDonald across the face. McDonald pulled out his knife and slashed Stevens across the abdo men, according to Bullard’s story. The wounded youth, gasping in pain, ran toward the Black apartments, with several of the party close behind him. He dashed up two flights of stairs to lhe room of a friend, where he fell in a faint. Policeman J, D. Kilpatrick stated he saw McDonald back toward Peachtree street, remarking that "it was a. shame for a friend of his to have been cut that way."
