Jacob Ebinger, No. 235 Thirty-seventh Street; shell wound in back of
left hand; not serious; wife and three children.
John J. Kelley, No. 194 Sheffield Avenue; shell wound on left hand;
not serious; wife and three children.

Officer Terrehll had a shell wound in the right thigh.
Patrick Hartford had an opening in the ankle joint. The shell was
removed. A portion of his left foot, with the toes, was carried away.
Arthur Conelly had a compound fracture of the tibia. The shell struck
him about two inches below the knee, tore away a piece of bone of the
fibula, perforated the tibia and lodged about the middle of the large
bone of the leg, a short distance below the knee. A piece of shell was
removed.
Lawrence Murphy had fifteen shell wounds, one in the neck, three or
four in the arms, and one in his left foot; the last, weighing almost
an ounce and a half, lodged at the base of the great toe and left his
foot hanging by a piece of skin. The foot had to be amputated about
two inches farther back. He had a piece two inches square taken out of
the anterior surface of his leg. He had two perforating wounds in the
left thigh and a number in the right.
Edward Barrett had two shell wounds in the neighborhood of the knee
joint, turning out large pieces of flesh and leaving ragged wounds on
the surface.
J. H. King was struck in the chin by a piece of shell which went
through his upper lip; another piece carried away about an inch of his
lower jaw-bone.
J. H. Grady had severe flesh wounds, both in the thigh and legs. Some
pieces of shell were taken out of them.
John Doyle had several wounds about the legs, in the neighborhood of
the knee joint.
The list shows the character of the wounds and the condition of the
officers just after the eventful night. Some of those who died lingered
along for some time after, but the name of Timothy Sullivan was the
last to add to the death-list. Some of the sixty-eight wounded men
have since returned to active duty, but many are maimed for life and
incapacitated for work.
