mp. mcGuHnn tnen leaped Tor the
door and ran toward an automobile,
in which the officers had come to the
scene.
By this time four other policemen
had arrived, and with number Of
boys rushed for the fleeing man, who
turned and quickly emptied his pis-
tol In the crowd, the first bullet kill
ing Cunningham, and the second dis
abling DaShWOOd
McGuffln was on the point Of start
ing the machine when an unidentified
man leaped forward and fired both
barrels Of shotgun full into his
breast. The crowd believed McGuf-
fin had been killed and quickly dis
persed while the officers took the In
jured man to the hospital for atten-
ton. There he remained until dark,
when some Of Cunningham friends
learned for the first time that Nc
Guffin had not been killed. Threat
ening talk then began.
Surrounded by a dozen determined
men with drawn revOlvers the pris-
oner was then rushed by circuitous
route to the county jail, where he is
under heavy guard.
