ley went to the Brockett street house.
Kopen told the details Of the shooting
of Cyzak and Maher and Bradley en-.
tered the house. just as they stepped
on the stairway the rain Of bullets be-
gan again. "I've got it too" shout
ed Maher, who was in the lead, and
blood trickled from a slight flesh
wound in his neck. By this time
the chief and half dozen officers had
arrived and the house was surrounded.
Mumbling out oaths and shouting de-
iance to the officers, Spina held his
fort on the second floor of the build
ing. Every time there was a light
from one of the police flashlights it
was answered by a bullet. Kopen had
emptied his revolver before the rest of
the officers arrived and with reinforce
cents and more ammunition the fight
with Spina was renewed.
Spina had taken refuge behind the
the door at the top of the stairway
and this made it possible for him to
get an air at. the men at the foot Of
the stairway. Chief O'Hare stood at
the base of stairway and flashed his
light repeatedly and every time the re-
vo!ver above flashed back.
The officers repeatedly returned the
fire Of Spina, but they were unable
to get chance to hit him. Finally
the shooting ceased and the officers
decided that the Italian was out Of
ammunition. With cooked revolvers
in their hands Officers O'Hare and
Bradley led the way up the stairway.
They had discovered that Bruna An
drae, brother-in-law Of Spina, was
in the room with him and the chief
called upon Andrae to disarm the other
Italian. At this time Mrs. Spina came
to one Of the windows and shouted to
the officers to go away and return lat
err in the morning. "We won It go
away until we take that man with
u.s." Officer Bradley shouted back and
the trip up the steps continued. At
the landing the police found that door
locked. The chief was at the head of
the procession and the door gave way
When they entered Spina was stand
ing with the empty gun in his hand.
His supply of ammunition had been
exhausted. O'Hare and Bradley made
a rush for the fellow and he was treat
ed with little consideration. He made
no resistance and he was hustled in
to the patrol wagon and taken to the
city lookup. He appeared to be par

Andrea was also taken along by the
police officers and held as witness
