fact that he fought so desperately for
his life and shot so accurately seems
TO leave little doubt that the right
man was put to death. Sergeant Gabe
Porteous, one of the best known Off
GERS on the force, and Sergeant John
+. Lally. who has a fine record for
bravery were informed during the day
by n negro that Charles was in hiding
in a house on Clio street, near Sara
tOga street.
Determining to take him alive if pos
sible. the officers summoned q number
Off patrolmen to their assistance and
went TO the house where Charles was
supposed to be in concealment. The
negro informant of the policemen ac-
companied the officers. They entered
the side alley OF the house, and were
surprised in practically the same way
as were Day and Lamb. Before the
officers were aware of their danger.
Charles who was hidden behind n
screen on the second floor of the build
ing, raised his Winchester and began
a furious, but accurate fire. Lally fell
with Il bullet in the right side OF the
abdomen. PorteuS was shot through
the head and dropped dead across the
body of Lally. The other officers and
the negro fled from the scene. The re-
ports Of Charles Winchester and the
fact that two officers lay bleeding in
the yard. raised tremendous excite
ment. Hurry calls were sent 10 the
mayor, the chief of police and Colonel
Wood in command of the special police.
and as fast as possible armed help was
rushed to the scene. IN a little while
there was an immense armed crowd
encirclng the square in which Charles
was located. In the meantime Father

summoned to administer extreme
