BATTLE WITH YEGGMEN.
Officer Fatally Shot and Two of the
Gang Wounded.

Rochester, N. Y, May 2J.-Hornell
was terrorized during the night by a
gang of yeggmen. Night Watchman
John Hendy was fatally shot, Night
Waterman Thomas Kelly was badly
beaten and several others were in
jured. Three yeggmen were arrested
after two Of the gang had been shot. =
The robbers first appeared at a
grocery and meat market, where they
blew open a safe and obtained $40.
The residence of William F. Purdy
was next entered, where some articles
OF value were taken. Here an ala IN
was raised and a woman living next
door put her head out of a window,
whereupOn three shots were fired at
her, which broke the windows, flying
glass cutting the womans face. The
gang then broke into the Steuben
silk mills where they we're surprised
by Night Waterman Kelly, whom they
beat into insensibility. They secured
no plumber at the silk mills and later
appeared at the Street Railway COM
pany's offices, where they were con-
fronted by Night Waterman Hendy.
Firing began on both sides and Hen
dy was fatally shot,
By this time the town had been
aroused and pursuit of the robbers
began. They jumped on moving
freight and the police and posse fol-
lowed on switch engine. One of
the robbers was seen to jump into the
river from the freight. He was fol-
lowed by policeman, who swan 100
yards and arrested the man at the
point of his pistol. The two other
robbers escaped in the direction Of
CanisteO. The Canisteo police were
and both were wounded with buckshot
before they would give up.

HANG ALL ANARCHISTS
Opinion OF Talesman Called In
Haywood Murder Case.
SURPRISE IN NOTED TRIAL
Both the Prosecution and Defense Ac-
cept Juror Who Opposes Capital
Punishment in Cases of Organiza-
lions Seeking Destruction of Society.

Boise, Ida, May 27.-Two more
talesmen qualified as jurors and the
fourteenth and fifteenth peremptory
challenges were expended at the
Steunenberg murder trial during the
morning. The state has but two per.
emptory challenges left and the de-
Tense only three more, SO that the
completion of jury building is finally
in sight.
y, Talesman Finley Mclean, who
qualified to the satisfaction of the
state, was not long in passing muster
to the satisfaction of the defense. AS
soon as it passed Mclean the defense
challenged Juror John Whitlociz OF
chair No. and the filling of the va
cancy created one of the most remark
able discussions Of the entire jury
quest. After two talesmen had been
dismissed for bias because of fixed
opinions J. E.. Tourtellotte, architect
of Boise, was called. Under exanina.
ton by Senator Borah he said he was
opposed to capital punishment. Re-
CARELESS of this he was passed.
Hang Anarchists on Sight.
Clarence barrow, who examined
Tourtellotte for the defense, went di
rectly to the attitude IF the talesman
on capital punishment. Tourtellotte
declared that he could only justify
capital punishment in time Of wal
and when society must protect itself
against organizations seeking its de-
struction. 1t developed that he re
ferred to anarchists in the latter con
nection and Tourtellotte said that he
was prepared to hang an anarchist on
sight, Other than in war and anarchy
society had no right, he thought, to
take human life; no right to take any
thing 1t could not give.
Mr.. barrow made sure that the tales.
man did not mean the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners when he referred to
organizations that made war on so
ciety and after a conference with his
colleagues suddenly announced that
the defense passed Tourtellotte. AS
the latter clearly disqualified himself
for jury duty by his attitude toward
capital punishment it was not clear
why the state passed him. The state
then challenged Juror George H. Nc
