Mr.. Burke'8 movement must have
aroused Ferrer to action for he whipped
out his revolver, fred four shots at Mr.. e.
Burke and then turned and ran toward
Lackawanna avenue. After taking q
few steps he fell. cutting his left eye
brow, but he was up in an instant and
running at the top of his speed.
Frank Robing, jr aud james Moir,
jr., were standing on the front platform
Of the car, but as soon rs Ferrer turned
they alighted aud gave chase.
Others joined them and before Fer.
rer was half way down the block there
was howling mob a5 his heels, and
cries Of "Stop the Murderer" rent the
air.
Ferrer. becoming alarmed, drew a
razor, which had the tendency Of
causing the timid to keep away from
him. He crossed Lackawanna avenue
and started down Washington avenue
but stumbled, and before he could re.
trieve himself WAS grabbed and given
twist by Ben Kerr that took MIN off
his feet. As he fell young man named
Roser wrested the razor from him.

A score of persons pounced on the
fallen man, and cries of Lynch him
and Kill him' were heard. At this
moment a man with rope made his
appearance from soms quarter. Frank
Robling, jr, and james Moir, ir.,
grabbed Ferrer, took pair of scissors
from him, and began to pull him out of
the dense crowd. while Colonel L. II.
Ripple and others endeayored to quiet
the mob and restore order. A police
officer came along and Robliug and
Moir assisted him to take the prisoner
to the City Hall.
After being locked up Ferrer called
for knife and said he wanted to cut
his throat. He declared he had no de-
sire to live and would kill himself.
When seen by TRIBUNE reporter last
night Ferrer was tossing on his cot ap.
parently in gr eat agony Of mind. He
said that he did not want to think of
what he had done. Mr.. Burke had sl-
ways been kind to him, he said, but he
wanted work.
The firing of the shots at the car
caused great excitement. Ladies
screamed and became hystsrical and
men alighted as quickly as possible.
IL was found that three persons had
been injured and those on the car at
once turned their attention ro them.
Timothy Burke was assisted into Dr.
L. NJ. Gates office, close by, where the
bullet was removed. The sufferer was
then removed in a cab to his home on
North Adams avenue. where last night
many Of his friends called to tender
their congratulations on his narrow
