He Killed the Conductor and Later
He, Himself, Was Slain.
Wilmington, Della, March 24.-An
exciting battle in which three men
were killed and several injured oc.
Cured on northbound Baltimore &

mington, Della, was shot in the hand,
and Matthew Haley Of Wilmington
was shot in the leg, while others were
grazed by flying bullets.
eethea Was Drinking.
Bethea, who had been drinking heav-
lily, had quarreled with the porter and
shot him through the heart, killing him
instantly. Conductor Wellman remon-
strated with Bethea, who, without a
word, shot him through the heart and
the conductor fell dead in his tracks.
The murderer then stood off the
passengers until the train reached Will
mington. When 1t came into the sta
ton hurry call was sent to the po-
lice station and squad patrolman,
reinforced by park guards and a posse
of citizens and trainmen, ran to the
scene. .......
Fires On Police.
The police called upon Bethea to
surrender. AS an answer he opened
fire at the police and the crowd from
an automatic revolver Bethea Is be-
lieved to have had at least 100 rounds
of ammunition, for he succeeded in
holding the posse at bay from 5:17
until 6:35. During this time many
shots were fired on both sides until
finally all the windows of the car were
riddled and travel over the Baltimore
& Ohio was tied up.
When the battle had lasted about
an hour the police asked aid from a
fire company nearby. The firemen,
barricaded behind trucks and boards,
played a stream of water into the win.
dows of the car and Bethea, drenched
with water, staggered to the platform.
The police once more called him to
surrender but his reply was several
shots in quick order from his revolver
Shot in Face, Still BIazes Away.
AS Bethea emptied his revolver Pc
lice Captain Evans fired load of shot
into his face. Notwithstanding this
injury he kept on blazing away. Pa
trolman Boughman opened fire with a
pistol and struck Bethea in the right
arm. The desperate man tried to fire
again, but the police closed in and a.
they lay hold of him he fell dead in
the arms of a patrolman.
When Williams was shot he fell into
seat in the car and all through the
battle the dead porter sat with the
appearance of one looking from the
window.
Bethea Well Dressed.
Bethea was we'll dressed. While 1t
was believed by some of the passen-
gers who fed when the train reached
Wilmington that the desperate was in
sane, other passengers stated that he
appeared to be sane, but had been
drinking.

DELANEY MAY TAKE CHARGE

the BOilermaker.

be Jeffries' chief trainer when the boiler
maker begins strenuous work in Cali
fornia for the Johnson fight? Mutual
friends will try 10 bring the trainer and
the big pugilist together when the latter
reaches the Coast, for II is believed that
Delaney is better qualified to guide JEFF
in his preparation for the championship
fight than any other man.
Delaney is free agent now, and says
he severed his relations with Kaufman
some time ago, and is anxious to take
hold of the former champion. Sam
Berger, however. is opposed TO the en-
gagement Of Delaney, II is said, because
he Is anx Gus TO get some OF the credit
himself for putting Jenries back in win
ming form.
Berger has never trained a champion
ship candidate, and ring experts say ne
is simply a good business manager.
There IS a growing impression that JEFF
may have too many advisers at his
training camp, with nobody in particular
in command and for that reason De-
laney has numerous advocates.
