SHOOTING AFFRAY
Underworld Vendetta
SYDNEY
Phillip Jeffs, 32, known as “Phil the Jew” was shot in the chest and stomach at his home at South Kensington at six o’clock this morning. Only two hours previously he had been released on bail following a sensational trial at Darlinghurst, in which another man was shot in the leg. Jeffs was admitted to St. Vincent’s Hospital in a critical condition, and it is doubtful whether he will recover.
The wounded man refused to give any information concerning the occurrence. He was conscious when admitted to hospital, and Jennings, the bail magistrate, attended to take his dying depositions, but beyond the statement that he knew the man who shot him, Jeffs refused to speak.
