Desperate Pistol Fight

Much excitement prevailed in the
business section Of Wilmington, last
Saturday, when Patrolman Francis
Ilerney was shot and almost instantly
Filled and motorcycle Officer Horace
Mcdaniel, Patrolman Willard Sharp
less and James T. Scott were serious
y injured by Peter Krakus, alias Peter
Melba, a fugitive who was being pur-
sued as a robbery suspect
The shooting began when officer
Sharpless attempted to arrest the
young man at Market street, near
Sixth. 1t is stated that when the off
Ger grabbed hold of krakus he pulled
an automatic revolver from his pocket
and shot the policeman, the bullet en-
tering his abdomen. The fugitive
then ran down Market street and shot
Officer Tierney, who made a grab at
him. At Fifth and Walnut streets,
Sergeant Massey and Patrolman Hor-
ace Mcdaniel caught up with Krakus
and placed him under arrest. but as
they did so the man shot Officer Nc
Dannell and James Scott. The pris-
oner, who had received bullet wounds
in his struggle for liberty, was drag
ged through the immense crowd to the
City Hall, and his accomplice, Bernard
Montvid, was arrested by Policeman
Washington, colored.
Patro.man kierney's funeral was
held Wednesday and Officers Sharpless
and Mcdaniel are dangerously ILL.,,
while Officer Scott is severely, al
though not seriously injured. Krakus
was unable to be removed from the
workhouse to the City Court, on Mon
day, as he was suffering from three
gunshot wounds. The murderer and
his accomplices will be tried in a spec
ial session Of the Court of Oyer and
Terminer next Monday morning. 1t is
thought that the two prisoners belong
to gang of gunmen and that they
are connected with the murders of a
Lithuanian priest and his housekeeper
in New Britain Conn.,. on February 8,
as they both carried drawback" tick
cts between New Britain and Water
bury, Conn.,, dated that date.

them drunk, and blocked their pas
sage. He had been warned to avoid
causes of complaint, but had paid no
heed The fine imposed upon him had
been made heavy enough to cause a
sting, and sentences in the other two
cases had been suspended with the
expectation that fear of their imposi-
tion would prompt him to take no
chances in future. At Sykes place
only two violations of the law had
been shown to have occorred and these
We're casual. The small fine imposed.
therefore, seemed sufficient. He would
advise him, however, to get rid of his
slot machine (Which Sykes had said
he no longer used).
Grand Jury Commended by Court.
In dismissing the Grand Jury, the
Court took occasion to commend them
for their efficient labors.
Judge Constable said he was glad
to learn that they had taken positive
and promising action upon the matter
of sanitary improvement at the jail
and Court House, which many of its
predecessors had urged in vain.
He further said that the States At
torney had duly notified parties seek
ing traders and similar licenses as to
the laws provisions, and several
Grand Juries had been charged to in
quire as to its violation. Traders pro-
fitted by delaying their applications
for licenses, but managed to avoid
trouble by securing them before the
September ter mof Court. Another
form of evasion of the law had been
uncovered by the State Tax Commits
sion which had notified 40 merchants
in the county that their stocks were
assessed above the amounts stated in
the licenses issued to them. With
taxes steadily rising all subject to
them should contribute their due pro
portion.
