Of GU
The tragic death of Mr.. Tully was the
topic of conversation in every mouth yes
terday. 1t was stated at police head
quarters that thousands of expressions of
sympathy poured into police headquarters
throughout yesterday and that the peo-
pie have manifested desire to cooperate
with the authorities In abolishing the law
less element in Birmingham.

amputated.
The other participants to the shoot
ing affray, Detective Carl Ray and Of
ficer Edward Lyons, were at work yes
terday as if nothing had happened.
However, both men were visibly af-
, fected especially Carl Ray, who had
been Mr.. Tullys partner for years. It
was to save Rays life that Mr.. FULLY
lost his. There was strange quiet at
headquarters yesterday and the usual
j tests were missing. AS one detective
said:
"Tt hurts, it hurts. I left Hugh last
night in the best of spirits and this
morning l read in The Age-Herald in
the street car on my way to the office
of his death. The question that comes to
us at this time is not only that Hugh
Tully, our beloved friend and COM
rade. is gone forever. but the feeling
that death Is lurking always in our
midst and we wonder who will be next.
1t is a terrible feeling, this wondering
of who will be next"
BOdeker Badly Hit
Chief of Police Bodeker was very
much affected yesterday over the death
of his friend and subordinate. He said:
I'VE all have to go some time, but
never saw man take death more
calmly than Hugh Tully. He died like
a man should in the discharge of his
lduty and attempting to save brother
officer from possible injury. He was a
hero in the highest sense of the word
and it is not the pleasure of every man
to have known such a man as Hugh
Tully
"As he lay on the operating table,
just after Father Downs had admins
tered the last rites OF the Roman Cath
Ollie church to him, 1 went in and shook
his hand. He opened his eyes and, look
ing me full in the face, he attempted
to smile and said:
! "'Chief you have been good to me-
to all of the boys Keep 1t up, chief.
keep it up
And his hand gripped mine as tight
as his weakened condition allowed.
Words fail me In attempting to de-
scribe the conflict of emotions which
possessed me at the time I had been
the partner of Tui1y in days gone by
and had always been his friend because
l felt proud to be his friend. 1t was
mighty good to har him on his death
bed appreciate what l mad tried to be
| to him."
City Physician Charles Whelan. a per-
sonal friend of Tully. who attended the
deceased until he died, said:
''rhey don't make men like Hugh Tul-
ly but once in a great while. He lived
a clean life and was the embodiment
| of what l understand to be an honest
man. He died as honest men should
die, without fear of the great I'M
| known.
After Tully had said good-by to
Chief Bodeker, Will Murphy. Carl Ray
and the other officers and the lone
! newspaper man in the operating room,
approached him and said:
Had Nothing to Fear
Hugh, have you made your peace
It'll your Colds everything all right
it'll your
