REsCUING A PRISONER AND WHAT CANE
OF IT-Early Sunday morning Officer p.
McCabe, sixth precinct, whose beat was on
Leyee street, was rudely accosted by
Michael Handley between Second and Third
streets, finally ASSEMBLING the officer with
cotton hook, an instrument which, in the
hands of an angry man, is one of the very
worst kind of weapons, but McCabe sue
ceeded in wrestling the hook from him.
While the sufie was progressing two ether
men appeared and also assailed the police
man. one of them gaining possession OF the
officers club, which he used to beat him
with. John Clarity at this juncture made
bold attempt to rescue Handley, and
McCabe, finding himself about overpowered
and liable to be murdered, drew his re-
voIver and fred at Clarity, the bullet
hitting him in vital part, causing death
soon after. The officer was Immediately
attended by DR.. Ames, at his home, and it
was found that his wonds were very seri-
ous-so serious that the doctor would not
permit him to be removed. Handley was
arrested, and it seems that he was Quiae
drunk when he assaulted Officer McCabe.
