Bridgeport and New Haven Police
 Riddle BOSWOrth With Bullets IS DYING AT HOSPITAL
Officers Use Supposed Friends to Call Him From Haunted House, in Stratford, and Then Fire Volley Into Him.

Bridgeport Nov. 1.-Riddled with bullets as result of resisting cap ture at Avon Park, Stratford today, L1ndel BosWorth, alias Honey" Bud- long, slayer of Detective Bennett w. Dorman of the New Haven police force, is dying at St. Vincent's hos- pital in this city.
 The capture was made near the Haunted" House where Bosworth had made his headquarters since ar irving here about noon Saturday. He was called from the house by SUD- posed friends. The police, some from New Haven and some from Bridgeport were hidden nearby. AS he emerged from the house the police began to. close in on him. He drew an automatic revolver but as he start ed to fire he slipped. The officers opened fire on him and half dozen or more bullets were sent into him. He was then made prisoner and con- veyed in an ambulance to the hos pital. Physicians there say he has practically no chance for recovery.
 Tells of Shooting.
 Bosworth on his arrival in this city went to restaurant which is close to the line between Stratford and Bridgeport, and while there met three young men with whom he soon became on good terms. He met them again in the evening when he got sev- eral newspapers from them and after reading the accounts of the shooting of Detective Dorman at New Haven on Saturday morning told them that he was the man who had done the shooting.
 Later the young men said, in their story to the police, Bosworth planned with them to rob a nearby saloon and a garage the following night. Meantime he went to Avon Park and made his headuuarters in the 'Haunted'' House, where he stop ped over Saturday night and Sunday. Yesterday, the young men changed their minds about the robbery and, according, to their story, telephoned the police at New Haven of Bos- worth's presence at Stratford.
 Police Use Ruse.
 Two Or three New Haven police came down from that city today and having been reinforced by half a do- zen officers from the local force went to Stratford taking the three young men with them. They instructed the latter to go to the "Haunted'' House and ask Bosworth to come out for dinner.
 Bosworth responded to their call and had gone only short distance from the house when he saw the po- lice, who were emerging from hiding to take him. He at once drew an automatic revolver and attempted to fire, but he was running on the troll ley tracks at the time and slipped and went down. Before he could rise or again use his revolver the police fired | a volley into him. The ambulance l was then called and he was brought ! to this city.
