Chicago, July 19.-Henry Mcintyre,
full blooded African negro, was over
come with a mania to anihilate the
world at go a. m. Four hours later
he and his wife were carried out of
their home at 800 North Irving ay-
enue. He had killed four persons, ono
of them policeman; wounded three
others and kept an Infatuated posse
of 100 police and 100 neighbors armed
with rifles shotguns and revolvers at
bay during that time. He was captuc.
ed after three charges Of dynamite
had been exploded over his head and
under his feet to dislodge him. Dur
ing the siege the vicinity for a radius
Of two blocks was filled with terror.
Hundreds of Shots Exchanged.
Hundreds of shots were exchanged,
Mcintyre firing at every exposed body.
The police surrounding him with a
circle of guns, waited for him to show
himself. He stuck behind his barri-
cade until Captain Wesley H. West
brook of the Warren avenue police
station, set off two dynamite charges
over his head and one in a tunnel un-
der his feet. The posses then rushed
forward shouting.
The first two policemen inside tn
riddled and shattered house were
Eddie Hughes and Michael Court
ney. On the floor, her body perforat-
ed with bullets, her head nearly blown
off and a heavy cartridge belt around
her waist, lay McIntyre's wife. Her
husband was still alive-still on his
feet. He had been partly stunned by
the explosion. He was staggering,
trying to raise his gun to fire when
the two policemen came upon him.
Eddie Hughes let go and the bullet
caught Mcintyre in the head. He died
a few minutes later in the Park av-
enue hospital.
Curious Neighbors Slain.
The neighbors were first aroused by
Mcintyre and his wife singing and
shooting. Alfred Matthews, negro,
went to his front door to see what it
was about, and bullet passed
through his head killing him instantly
Another negro neighbor, Hampton
Knox, his wife, Sadie Knox, and a
niece were also drawn to their
porches, when Knox was instantly
killed, and his wife seriously wound
ed. Crowds gathered by this time, and
the police had hardly reached the
spot and tried to enter the house, be-
fore Officer Stuart Dean was killed on
the threshold of the Negroes door.
