and Policeman Paul Mendlesohn Is the
victim. John w. Chambers. non.
union motorman. and his conductor,
George Weberndorfer, were pounded
almost into insensibility.
The scene of the crime was at For
est Park, the terminus of the North
Main street line. The spot is isolated
and when the car reached the end cf
the line the crew made preparations
for the return trip. Immediately after
the conductor turned the trolley and
the motorman reversed his levers,
eight masked men sprang from the
bushes by the roadside, entered the
car, and discharged their revolVers,
Every Man Being Armed.
Officer Mendlesohn fell at the first
report, and, as a later examination
showed, the first shot was fatal, having
pierced his heart. The mOtorman was
also hit, and leaped from his car with
a cry of pain. Some of the men fol.
lowed him while the remainder turned
their attention to the conductor. He
was thrown TO the floor of the car and
pounded and kicked until he was al
most unconscious. The men then left
him and joined their companions out
side. From this point in the attack
their actions are wrapped in mystery
and are causing considerable appre-
hension.
The conductor regained his feet with
difficulty and went to the side of the
wounded officer, but he saw the officer
was dead. The conductor,
Hardly Able to Stand,
went 10 the controller and started the
car back toward the city with the dead
officer. On the way back he met an
other car, the crew of which relieved
the injured man and hurried TO the city
for assistance.
The body of the dead officer was car
ried into police headquarters and the
conductor, Weberdorfer, was also
taken there. An alarm was sent around
the city by the police and in few mo-
ments the entire detective department
accompanied by thirteen policemen,
were at the scene of the murder
Despite the diligent search Of the 20.
licemen and detectives not a clue
could be found as to the perpetrators
Of the murder.
At the time OF the shooting the
streets were practically deserted be-
cause of the heavy downpour OF rain
which had been falling all evening, but
