pipe, with his rifle poised for action.
He fired several shots. which were re-
turned by the police and deputy sher-
ifs After five men had been wounded
by the squatter, Sergeant Fitzgerald
obtained an automatic rife from the
torpedoboat and, approaching the
house, ordered Taft to surrender.
Taft fired at Fitzgerald, and the lat
ter former United States soldier, re-
turned the fire. Taft fell dead.
The police said tonight that Taft
probably had been mentally unbal-
anced, due to his failure to perfect the
invention of Pin" propeller for mo-
tor boats He wasted his money, it was
said, in futile efforts to have the pro-
peller placed on the market.
A judgment for $500 had been OBJ
tanned against Taft. This was followed
by a court order to show cause in sup
Elementary proceedings. He was fined
$3.50 for failing to appear and his nom
appearance in court again to pay the
fine led to the issue of the writ which
caused the tragedies today.
