his way in, declaring that the couple
were under arrest, Vogel struck tht
detective over the head with q black
jack and then grasped magazine
pistol which lay upon the bed. His
first bullet struck Allen in the head
and he fell probably fatally hurt. De-
tectives Fay and Gerade rushed into
the room, followed by Proprieto,

every one taking effect. Fay ane

fatal wounds in the abdomen. Ger
ade was shot in the leg and back anf
Butler received q bad wound in the
hip.
The woman, also armed, had free
several shots, some of which, 1t j.
