which went in pursuit. Pstterson's
brother-in.law fired the fatal shot after
he himself had been wounded by shot
from the abductor.
The affair was sensational in the ex-
treme. Patterson, at the point of a re-
volver, compelled hotel keeper to assist
him 10 taking the woman from a car
riage and placing her in his automobile
The posse pursued In an automobile,
and a running fusillade of shots was fred
between pursued and pursuers before the
abducior WAS killed ia the flying shoot
ing battle.

boat plying on the waters OF Lake Wa
wsssee. Mrs. Sergeot was resident of
the town of Lake Wawassee and par.
tlcular friend OF Mrs. Patterson. Re-
Getty Patterson and his wife separated,
and Patterson blamed Mrs. Sergent Tor

ed to murder her.
Yesterday aft rnoon Patterson pro-
cured an automobile and drove to Ligo-
nitr. He went straight to the Hotel
Goldsmith, where Mrs. Sergent hal been
stopping, only to find that the woman
had gone to the home of DIR. Frank,
Mrs. Pstterson's father. Telling S II.
Hoover, landlord of the Hotel Gold
smith, that Mrs, Sergent was danger
GUS connterfeiter, and that he (PattersOn)
was detective, he compelled Hoover
to go with him to DR.. Franks house
They started in the automobile, and on
the way met carriage containing DIR
Frank and Mrs. Sergeat. Stopping the
carrisge Patterson, with drawn revolver,
ordered the woman to get into the auto
mobile with him.
She refused. He thereupon covered
the doctor with his revolver and by
main force pulled Mrs. Sargent from the
vehicle. Dragging her to the sutOmo-
bile he compelled Hoover to assist him
in putting the woman in the back seat.
Then he started the machine at tull
speed toward Millersburg.
The news If the abduction spread
quickly aud posse, headed by Ernest
Franks, Mrs. Pslterson's brother, startt d

Pstterson's automobile was overtlken
by the posse just outside OF Millersburg,
near the Wabash railway station. See
ing iat his pursuers we're gaining upon

opened fire. A shot struck his brother
in.lsw in the thigh. Franks returned
the Ere and PET erson fell dead at almost
the first shot. Mrs. Sargent was not
injured.
