Bandits Kill Two Persons and
Wound Eleven Before Be-
ing Shot Down.

Boston, July 23-After three deadly
battles between three desperadoes,
the police and a small army of citi-
zens, the first encounter being in a
barroom, the second in the peaceful
streets of Jamaica Plains and the
third in the quietude of cemetery,
one of the bandits was riddled with
bullets and killed. a second, believed
to be wounded, was being searched for
in the cemetery, while the third was
captured.
The desperadoes left behind them
in their trail of over a mile and
half two dead and eleven wounded.
The desperadoes' career of terror
started by the shooting up of the
saloon of Winterston & McManus on
Washington street. Shortly before the
closing hour, when the barroom was
full of men, three men, apparently
Italians, made their appearance at the
door and shouted "All hands up
When the shooting was over it was
found that Frank j. Drake had been
killed, Patrick Doran had received a
bullet in the abdomen and Thomas
Winterston had been shot at the base
of the skull and in the left arm.
The police made a careful search
all night long without result, but later
two men were discovered in Calvary
cemetery. When the desperadoes
found that they were pursued they
drew their revolvers and, with yell,
began firing on all sides. The first
person hit was Mrs. Della Fallon, who
was walking down South street. Off

bingham field, Lee street and into
New Keyes street, down which they
ran directly into Washington street.
On Washington street, where electric
cars are passing almost necessarily
and hundreds of people were walking,
the two men fred shot after shot.
They commanded everybody to hold
up their hands and even ordered the
motorman of an approaching car to
stop. The motorman dropped behind
the dashboard and the conductor.
Thomas Moore, who stepped off the
car to see what was the trouble, re
eeived a bullet in the leg. Michael
Film picked up stone to hurl at the
bandits and received one bullet in the
head over the right ear and another
passed over the left ear, knocking off
bis hat; Patrick McGinn was shot n
the wrist, Thomas Flemming in the
hand and John Nolan received bullet
in the arm, while John H. Wrightman

The men continued on through New
Keyes street to a sand hill, where
they stopped and, according to some
men and boys who watched them,
loaded four automatic revolvers with
rolls of cartridges. Through Williams
street the men entered Franklin park
and thence passed into Forest Hill
Cemetery.
Herbert B. Knox, the Waterman,
who had been on the lookout for the
men, came upon one III them unex-

For more than d mile across the
