PITTsBURG (Pa.), March 2I.-A desper-
ate shooting affray occurred in a house at
Peters Run, near McKeesport, tonight,
resulting in the killing of one detective,
the serious wounding of another, the
slight wounding of two policemen and a
woman.
Six weeks ago girl named Laura Hill
entered Smiths jewelry store, at Home
stead, and began pricing jewelry. While
the proprietor was thus engaged, three
men forced an entrance from the rear,
struck the proprietor down, and cleaned
out the store, and escaped with So, 500 in
cash and jewelry. The Wilkinson Detect
i've Agency was given charge of the case,
and not long after the girl was arrested in
Harrisburg. She confessed, and acting
on her instructions, tonight Chief De-
tective Wilkinson, with detective MUIR
ply and two McKeesport policemen,
went to the house of the leader in the
robbery, A. g. Budd, at Peters Run.
The girl must have warned Budd, for
when Wilkinson threw open the door
Budd threw up revolver and fired, kill
ing Wilkinson. Detective Murphy
leaped over the PROSTATE form, and fac
ing Budd, a terrible duel at short range
followed. Budd emptied one revolver,
and his wife, who was in the room, ran to
him with another.
Murphy, though badly wounded, had
also emptied his pistol, and STOPPING to
the dead body of his chief drew his re-
volver and renewed the firing. He was
firing blindly into the smoke, however,
while the burglar centered all his shots
toward the door. Suddenly the woman
screamed, and Immediately after Murphy
fell with a bullet in his breast. During
the panic that seized the two policemen
at this second loss to their ranks Budd es-
capped.
A review of the room showed that
Wilkinson was dead, Murphy shot in the
face and breast, while the woman re-
ceived a shot in the arm, and the two po-
licemen were slightly wounded by flying
bullets.
The woman was taken to Jail, while tel
egrams were sent all over to intercept
Budd. He is noted crook.
