Puter of San Francisco. who is wanted
by the United States government as a

egon, was arrested here last night by
United States Marshal w. B. Burns of
Washington, d. c., but after being in
custody less than half an hour, Puter
drew revolver and succeeded in es-
Gaping. 1t is alleged that the Oregon
State authorities want Puter, who was
a broker in connection with the forg-
cries of school certificates involving
$4,000.
Marshal Burns was detailed by the
government at Washington to come to
Boston and search for Puter. He To-

Agreed to Accompany
Burns to a private room in the postof-
fee. Burns understood that Supt.
Swift of the branch Office had gone
for the police, but it developed later
that Swift did not understand that
Burns wanted the assistance of the
police. Supposing that two officers
were outside the building, the marshal
placed Puter under arrest and took
him to the sidewalk. After asking a
question or two about his removal to
Washington the prisoner suddenly
drew revolver, and, leveling it at the
marshal's head, exclaimed: I'll kill
you, Burns, If you dare to move"
Crowd Is Overawed.
The crowd about the two men was
quite dense, but fell away rapidly at
the appearance of the revolver, but
Burns, although considerably older
than his prisoner, jumped at him and
pushed up his hand Puter struggled
and succeeded in pointing the muzzle
of the revolver at Burns breast for a
second time. Again the officer closed
with his man but he could not wrench
the weapon away. Puter finally got
free from the grasp of the marshal
and gradually backed away, with the
revolver still pointed at Burns. He
suddenly turned and darted down the
street, followed by the officer and
many other persons. The fugitive,
however, escaped.
