LONG LIST OF VICTIMS


Killed and Another Captured.
Boston, July 24.-After three deadly
battles between three desperadoes,
the police and small army of citi-
zens, the first encounter being in a
Oarroom, 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 a
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 a yell,
began firing on all sides. The first
person hit was Mrs. Della Fallon, who
was walking down South street. Off
Ger Ingliss then received a bullet in
the leg. The men passed through Cum
ningham 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 fired shot after shot.
They commanded everybody to hold
I'D 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-
ceived bullet in the leg. Michael
gTlinn 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
his hat Patrick McGinn was shot in
the wrist, Thomas Flemming in the
hand and John Nolan received bullet
i'm the arm, while John H. Wrightman
carries two bullet holes in his trouse rs
to show where the bullets grazed the
calf of his leg.
Seek Refuge in Cemetery.
The men continued on through New
Keyes street to 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 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
quarter of an hour later man sprang
ND in front of the Off GERS at the south
side of the cemetery and started off
on the run. The man was barefooted,
a broken derby covered his head, a
torn and ragged coat was on his back
and in one hand he carried a heavy
revolver, while from the other dan
FLED reel of cartridges.
For more than a mile across the
cemetery the man raced madly over
graves, around shrubbery, through
gulIeys and over mounds, an ever in
creasing mob of policemen following
in his wake All at once he disap-
7peared in ravine not two hundred
yards from the main Morton street
entrance to the cemetery grounds.
But one bit of shrubbery marked the
lower level of the ravine and into this
the man sprang to make his final
ktand. In moment the sides OF the
ravine were lined many deep with the
bluecoats, revolvers were brought to
bear upon the bush In the gulley and
shot after shot was poured into it.
: When the rain of shot was over Off
GERS approached the bush and, parting
the leaves, found the desperado's
body pierced by hundred bullets.
Almost at the same time another
commotion was created on the oppo-
site side of the main gate, within the
confines of the main cemetery, and a
man who had refused to throw up his
Hands had been seized and disafmed |
Both the dead body and the captive
were taken to Jamaica Plains station.
Some doubt arising, however, as TIC
