set out in pursuit. The father became
winded and did not run far, but his
sons kept up the chase. Herbert says
that he also got winded and gave up
the chase before Grove street, in Mont
clair, was reached.
John H. Lockwood, who fired the
shot, says that he and his brother. Will
lam, continued the chase. although the
younger Italian had fired twice at them
during the run. Just after passing
Grove street, John continued, n two
young men who were hunting joined
with them. Both these men had shot
guns. When Christopher street vas
reached the younger italian, who turned
out to be De Angelo, turned around and
faced his %pursuers, and raising his re-
voiver fired directly at him. Then one
of the young hunters, whose names
have not yet been learned, handed his
gun to Lockwood, shouting:
Here, defend yourself!"
He then took the u and fired, just
as De Angelo was about to shoot again.
After I shot at the man he dropped
to the sidewalk and the other Italian
ran away says Lockwood.
No revolver was found on the dead
man. Lockwood said his Italian com
