Cavanagh. One Of them struck Cavanagh
fierce blow in the mouth, drawing the
blood, and the latter, struck and knocked
down his assailant.
Upon this Squires interposed, and as he

Knocked down arose to his feet and, draw
ing heavy revolver from his pocket, fired
three shots at Squires as rapidly as he
could pull the trigger.
Before the smoke from the weapon had
cleared away, Squires
Was Lying Dead
on the narrow brick pavement of Webster
avenue, and the three Italians who had
created the trouble were flying from the
scene.
Tho murderer carried the smoking
weapon in his hand as he ran, and not one
of the crowd, which nearly filled the place
and its adjacent alleys, attempted to stop
the fleeing men.
Two officers. hearing the shots, were
making their way to the scene, when two
excited Italians ran almost into their
arms These two men, Lucito Colarusso
and Alasandro Briole, were at once ar
rested and sent to the station in the patrol
wagon, and Squires' body and Cavanagh
were also taken to the station.
The Italians refused TO talk at the sta
ton, and professed to know nothing Of the
shooting. They are believed to be those
who were with the man who did the
shooting. This man was seen by a woman
TO enter house on Fleet street. The
house was searched, and the revolver was
found secreted under a table, but its owner

most exaggerated reports of many per-

four score of women had been
extricated it was found that about
eight persons had been more or less in

probably none seriously.

greatest pain. She, with one or two
others, were sent home in a carriage.
