best known officers on the force, and
Sergeant John L. Lally, who has Il fine
record for bravery, were informed dur
ing the day by n negro that Charles
was in hiding in Il house on Clio, near

Before the officers were aware of

behind n screen on the second floor

and began Il furious but accurate fire.
Lally fell with a bullet i'll the right
side of the abdomen. POrteau was
shot through the head and dropped
dead across the body of Lally. The
other officers and the negro fled from
the scene. Hurry calls We're sent to

In the meantime schemes were set
on foot to get Charles out of the

that the only way to get Charles was
10 burn the building in which he was

some scruples about resorting to this
method of getting him. owing To the

As soon as the negro fell numbers OF
people armed with Winchesters and

of people ccngregated in the vicinity
and il seemed as if there might be L
clash between the officers and the mob.
The police, however. pushed the
crowd aside. picked up the body and
threw 1t into the patrol wagon. The
driver whipped up his horses and the
wagon started of with 5000 people
running after II and clamoring for the
cremation OF the body. The wagon
ultimately made its way in safety To

corpse of the negro from the wagon
into the morgue. When Charles body
was stripped 1t was found TO have been

Shortly after the body of Charles
had been taken away, 4 report spread
that there we've still some negroes i'll
