ledO, Ohio, and had in custody a ne
gro, believed to be Lonnie Lewis, the
man who Is alleged to have SO foully

once, that one shot causing almost
instant death Although, while fall
ing the faithful officer pulled his
gun and fired five times at the flee
ing form. One bullet was believed

ONE OF L0NDON'S SIGHTS
IS ARRIVAL OF WOUNDED
(By Associated Press.) J

London, Aug. 5.-One of the
sights of London is the arrival of
wounded soldiers at Charing Cross
station. The crowd gathers there
about 5 O'Clock every afternoon AL
though not day has passed since
the early part of the war without
the arrival of a varying number of
victims of shot, shell and gas, the
crowd never lessons.

the brightest and most interesting
station in London, for most of the
travel with the continent passed
there. 1t stands just off Trafalgar
Square in the Strand, near the CEN
ter Of the went-end shopping dis
trict. Before the arrival of the Red
Cross train, the ambulance motors
form in line in narrow side
street. Ordinary motorcars are used
for the slightly wounded, and am
balances for the badly wounded
The platforms in the great station
are kept clear. but the sightseers,
who are largely women, gather in
the forecourt waiting for the big
iron gates to open and let out the
stream of slow-moving cars, which
pass from the side street into the
station and then out.
People are attracted to Charing
Cross less from curiosity than to
show their sympathy. The men in
the crowd always raise their hats
as the wounded 60 by.
