Boston, July 23-That there Were
| four desperadoeS instead of three con-
cerned in the shooting up of Jamaica
Plain and West Roxbury on Tuesday
night and that one of them is under
arrest in the person of Guisippe Di vi
cio a second is the man shot in For
est Hills cemetery this morning and
that two are now at large is the gem
eral conclusion reached tonight as the
result of developments through the day
| Several of those who had followed
the despcradoes and were shot by them
on Wednesday night failed tonight to
identify the man killed as one of the
| desperadoes who had run amucll
through the streets. He was, however.
| identified as one the men who entered
| the bar room the night before and
| smashed the cash register Di Vicio
has already been identified as one of
the men who shot up the bar room.
| That still two other men were concern
ed and are still at large was made GER
tain early this morning by the discov-
| cry that the home of Mrs. Lucia
| Sprude OF As jamaica street had been
entered and two coats and two hats,
one a straw. had been stolen. In their
place were found two coats, both of
which were badly blood soaked and
| bore bullet marks.
| officer Buckley also states that soon
after the killing of the man in the
| cemetery this morning he met two
suspicious looking men near the en-
| trance of the Arnold arboretum, who
refused to answer his questions and
| instead covered him with q revolver
and backed away. Later it was found
the men were wearing clothes which
| corresporded in description to the
coats and hats stolen from the Sprudc
| home. The men answer the description
| of those who did the shooting up of
| Kcyes and Washington streets last
night.
! The hunt over the hills of Arnold
arboretum and Mount Benedict ccme-
terry through the day brought no sue
| cess
| The police are therefore confronted
with the fact that apparently after q
long night Of searching with 400 police
officers they have failed to apprehcnd
| the two men who shot up Jamaica
Plain and West Roxbury last night,
killing one man and wounding eight
or 10 others.
| Boston, July 23-Whle one of the
| frenzied assassins who tcrrorzed the
Jamaica Plain and West Roxbury dis
tricts of the city for two nights and a
| day, killing two men and wounding IL
other persons lies dead in the city
morguc tonight, riddled by tha bullets
of 100 officers in Forest Hills cemetery

confronted with the apparently certain
evidence that the dead desperado's two
companions are still at large ard they
have absolutely no trace Of their
| whereabouts.
The police hold in custody two men
who were thought to be two Of the
desperadocs. One, believed to be Guis-
| eppi Di Nicio, was arrested at the
| South station Wednesday night Late
| today parties came forward who claim
ed thar Di Vicio is a resident of SOM
| erviIle, and claim to have a full alibi
| for the man The second suspect is the
| man who was seized in Forest Hills
cemetery soon after the shooting this
| afternoon, when he would not hold up
his hands, and who it is claimed by
| many, is a former elevated road en-
ploye named Hugh McDougal. The fact
| that the man carried an ordinary re-
volver, while the deSperadOeS used au-
tomato guns and that he had fired but
| two shots, would seem to substantiate
his story, and that of his friends. that
| he was but one Of the party of citizens
| and had Joined in the hunt.
| The police gave evidence of their un-
| certainty today by continuing the
search with officers through Arnold
arboretum and Mount Benedict cemc-
terry in West Roxbury, although they
had little to work upon except the
| statement that a strange man had been
seen crossing the fields in the direction
| of the arboretum. Just before 6 O'Clock
the details were called back to the sta
tions and the search was called off, as
| it had furnished no clues.
| As the man who was killed in Forest
Hills cemetery is believed to have at
least once changed his clothes during
| the progress of his raid by stealing
from houses in Jamaica Plain. there Is
| little reason to believe that the rame of
Edmund Gutmann found in his hat
band is the mans right name. and no
one has been found who can recognize
him. He is believed to be an Italian.
however.
| De Vicio and McDougal were ar
| raigned in the Jamaica Plain court to-
| day AMI both were held for further
examination. DeVicio without bail on
the charge of murder and McDougal
| on the charge Of assault with intent to
kill an officer.
