The shooting had attracted several thous

would fire a shot at the officers and inn
mediately a volley would answer il. but
no one was hit. With revolvers in hand
the officers watched every window and
tried several ruses to draw Taylor's fire.
Most of these were Euccessful. for he
seemed to have an talimited supply OF
ammunition. While he realized escape
was hopeless. he was evidently deter
mined to hold out as long as possible.
Finally. concluding that he would not
surrender the police prepared TO fire the
premises. A mattress was saturated
with oil. and the officers began to remove
the furniture. Seeing his game was
hopeless. Taylor surrendered. Sur
rounded by officers with revovers, he
was hustled out of the hotrse to the patrol
wagon. The crowd surged forward with
shouts OF Lynch him; burn him" A

desperate effort to place IL around the

was badly dlsfgured by blows from the

When questioned by the police in re-

Brown $50. Upon searching the prem

His conflicting stories az to his nove-
