serves TO come mp. Ono hundred
policemen In the block were armed
with rifles and revolvers. From his
brick fort Mcintyre kept up fire
on his besiegers who returned the
fire and riddled the windows and
doors of the fort with rifle fire.
Nearby was quarry. Police sent
for dynamite and quarrymen to ham
die the explosives. Sticks of dyna-
mite were hurled through the win-
dows but they exploded without
routing Mcintyre. Finally, protected
by rifle fire, qnarrymen crawlcd to
the doors and set four charges OF
dynamite. The explosions badly
shattered the building but apparently
did not injure Mcintyre.
Then Detective Sergeant Hughes
walked to the door, and protected
by heavy dfle fire, shot Mcintyre
down. Beside Mcintyre when he
fell lay the body OF his wife shot
through the head. Around her
waist was belt filled with steel
n0sed bullets for a Springfield 3O-3O
rifle which Mcintyre dropped as he
fell. On a table near the body of
Mcintyre lay an automatic revolver.
II is not known whether Mcintyre
shot his wife when he found that
capture was inevitable or whether
She was killed by the police.
While the battle was raging thou
sands OF people came from all parts
OF the city and formed a ring around
the block in which was located Me-
Intyre's fort. Braving bullets which
whistled from all angles auto par.
ties filled the streets.

Neighbors said he had been acting
strangely since Sunday and they be-
Iieved his mind, which was not very
strong normally, had been crazed
by the heat.
At the morgue to which Mrs.
Overmeyer's body was taken II was
found that she was shortly to be-

A letter found in McIntyre's house
was made public by the police;
