BABYLON, l.. J., April 4.-Willlam
Donley, a hunter and guide. lay dead
today in his home, where he had wound
ed 1--WE persons and fought long hat
tie with the sheriff and fourteen depu-
ties who attempted to arrest him.
Armed with rifles, shotguns and re-
volvers, Donley withstood siege by the
county authorities from noon yesterday
until early this morning. When the at
tackers, after a long silence, forced
their way into the house they found
DOnley had almost blown the upper part
CT his head off with a shotgun. The
tody lay at the head of the stairs, where
DonIey had for hours kept the be-
siegers at bay.
The townspeople. who had been ter
ror-stricken for more than twelve
hours while the battle went on, f1ocked
to the Donley house today to view the
scene.
Donley's friends believe he was driven
10 temporary insanity by his recent ar.
rest for shooting ducks out of season
and the imposition of a fine of $500
which he could not pay.
He accused two of his neighbors Of
making the complaint against him and,
opening fire on them with a shotgun,
wounded both. a third who interviewed
also was wounded. Donley then fired
several shots at his wife ard at the
wife of a neighbor, slightly wounding
the latter For hours thereafter Donley
tired at any person who came near his
home. A policeman attempting to ar
rest him was shot in the arm and leg.

AWtul Suffering
Of ShdckeltOn
P0rty Revealed
(By Associated Press

LONDON. April 4.-The account of the
voyage of the Shackelton Antartic auxil-
larry steamer. Aurora, published here to-
day reveals the sufferings of the party
on board from cold, hunger and lack OF
water ard coal.
The pressure of the ice pack on the
vessels during the period of months was
so severe that many times the party was
on the point Of abandoning the ship and
taking to their sledges. AS to the loss
of the rudder the account says:
Heavy floes, ten feet thick, closed n
on us. nipping the vessel fore and aft.
The force must have been tremendous,
for the steel bound rudder weighing six
tons was bent over to starboard and
twisted like a corkscrew."
On one occasion j. r. Stenhouse first
officer of the Aurora, wrote in his diary:
II am afraid the ships back will break
if the pressure continues. We have
