Halsey street and Saratoga avenue, Williams
burg The story of the fatal shooting. as told
by the patrolman and tho reports from eyeUit-
ncSses differ.
Recently several complaints have been made
to the Ralph avenue station about rowdies con
gregating I'm the park and around the entrances
and insulting young women and passersby.
Patrolman Shuttleworth had been instructed
to break up these gangs. He said that last
night about twelve Of these toughs were annoy

Jaffo Tho policeman told Thorn to move on.
They did not obey his orders Immediately. he
then placed Jaffc under arrest and was starting
of TO the station with him, when several friends
of tho prisoner came to his rescue. II was said
that they punched the patrolman and took away
his night stick They kicked him and beat him
with his own stick the policeman says.
In the fight Jaffc broke away and ran across
tho lawn. Shuttcworth said nc drew his re-
voyer and fred in the air. Jaffe dropped in his
tracks
Shuttleworth was immcdiately surrounded by
threatening crowd. The prompt arrival of
Captain Stcrnbrook and the reserves from the
Ralph avenue station probably saved the patrol
mans lie. The crowd scattered about the park
heard the shot and fastened 10 the spot from
all directions.
An ambulance was summoned from the Ger

The ambulance surgeon said that Jaffc had been
killed instantly. The bullet struck the young

was Immediately placed under arrest
In the station house several eyewitresscs OF
the incidents that led up to the shooting told
Captain sternbrook "a different story. They
said that Jaffe was going through the park
when Shutteworth told him not to walk on the
lawn Jane turned and said something TO the
patrolman.
The witnesses say that Shuttleworth used
abusive language in talking TO Jaffe and han
died him roughly. Jane protested against the
manner in which he was being treated and said
jokinsly: Don't ruffe my clothes so. I'm going
TO my girl" The patroIman. according TO
the witnesses started to take Jaffe to the sta
ton house. when the young tried to break
away. Finally he succeeded in wrenching him.

park.
They told the police captain that Shuttleworth
then drew his revolver and fired straight at
Jaffe.
Word was sent TO the young mans home and
there was pitiful scene at the station house

She completely prostrated
Patrolman Shuttleworth has been on the force
since 1896 He appointed on October 30
of that year. When he asked about the
shooting he held to his first story. and did not
seem to realize that he might be arraigned on
the charge Of homicide.

seem to have thought lynching possible. and
the police paid no attention to the rumors that
were afioat.
Only Deputy Sheriff Adam Hendley was at the
jail when, after midnight a crowd OF less than
one hundred men, a few of whom were disguised
IN one way or another, appeared and demanded
the keys. These being refused. telegraph pole

the building was forced. Other negroes IN
neighboring cells were careful to guide the
lynchers to that Of Burns. and there again the
battering used. The lynchers found

him by the feet, dragged him up and down stairs
