POLICE BALK LYNCHING.
CROWD TAKES ITALIAN
Coney Island Reserves Recdpture
Him-Shot q Nan.

An attempt the part of a crowd of infuri-
ated men at Coney Island last night to lynch an
italian. George Bove of No. 30 Mott-st.,
stopped only by sending to the scene almost the
entire police forde of the precinct. The trouble
started over a dispute between Bove and one of
the employees of a show in Surf-ave.
Bove with his brother Mike. and Michael
Ferralli. of No. II Oak-st.. who is employed in
the Street Cleaning Department were seeing the
sights, and had an argument over some change
with Richard Martin. the at the door of
one of the shows In the course of the argu-
n1ent Ferralli struck Martin the forehead
with some blunt instrument, inf1icting a bad
wound.
In the mixup which followed George Bove
drew a revolver. but it knocked from his
hand before he could fire. The band in front of
the show. twelve pieces. which had stopped
playing to watch the fun, decided when the gun
appeared that they were needed elsewhere. lad
decamred with more speed than grace. several
Of them jumping from the balcony to the street,
and huddltng among the crowd which packed
the avenue.
Bove regained his weapon and started a
run across the street, toward the terminal of
the Sea Gate line and the Manhattan trolley
lines. where an immense crowd was waiting for
cars. AS he came down the street. Pat Burns,
another employe of the show. who sitting
a Il
stepped into the street to stop Bove.
Bove recognized the uniform, hung his
heel minute, and fired almost point blank
Burns's head. Burns dropped like a log and
Bove started to run on. He had hardly moved
rod when he was caught from behind by
James Vance of Twenty-third-st, Coney ISL
and. who tried to throw him. The Italian
ducked and doubled and. throwing Vance COM
pletely over his head down the avenue.
An immense crowd of men was following him
by this time. and he was headed down Eighth
St for the water. The crowd at his heels,
and there were many cries of Lynch him, Kill
himr' Several men finally caught and overpow-
cred him. and the crowd seemed about to make
good its threat when three policemen, Batter
sea. Adams and Snyder. got to the place and
charged the crowd rescuing Bove.
The crowd drew off, but soon got togethel
and after severe struggle, took the man away
the ocean. They were met by the reserves from
the station before they had gone far and finally
surrendered Bove without further trouble. Bove
and his two friends were taken to the station
and locked up.
The streets were crowded at the time, and il
was regarded as miraculous that more were not
hurt Bruces wound did prove serious, being
a long cash plOughed by the bullet on the left
side of the head Several hundred persons were
and three women tainted. Several women and
children were run and trampled on by the
mob in the chase after Bove and the fight with
the police.
