ningham field, Lee street and into
New keyes street, down which they
ran directly into Washington street.

cars are passing almost necessarily
n hundreds OF people were walking,
the two men fired shot after shot.
They commanded everybody to hold

The men continued on through New
Reyes street to a sand hill, where
they stopped and, according to some
men and boys who watched them,
loaded four automatic r%evolvers with
rolls of cartridges. Through Williams
street the men entered Franklin park
and thence passed into Forest Hill
cemetery.
Herbert E. Knox, the Waterman,
who had been on the lookout for the
men, came upon one of them unex
%pectedly and before he was able to
use his pistol was shot through the
abdomen. Knox died three hours
later.
About daybreak the officers who
had been guarding the cemetery to
prevent the outlaws escape were
given the order to advance toward the
center of the cemetery. Scarcely a
