Brooklyn Union-Argus 13 March 1882 SHOT BY MISTAKE James MCMANN, of No. 452 Hancock street, was awakened early
yesterday morning by a domestic, who told him that a man was attempting to enter the house by forcing a window. Mr. MCMANN arose and saw the supposed burglar at work trying to open a shutter on the side of the house. MCMANN as he says, ordered the fellow to leave and then fired a shot for the purpose of frightening him. The shot took effect, passing through the man's right thigh. The wounded man then left the place and went to his home, No. 677 Herkimer street, where he was subsequently found by Detective KELLY. His name is Samuel WILGRES. He was intoxicated and it is supposed mistook MCMANN's house for his own. The latter
was arrested for shooting WILGRES and WILGRES was held for
attempted burglary. I am not related & have no otehr info.
