brought into the world and a half
dozen are seriously wounded as the
result of thrilling gun, rifle and dy-
Mantle battle between n. j. Mcintyre,
colored religious maniac, and his wife
and the police of the Warren avenue
station about 5 o'clock this morning.
1t all took place at McIntyre's
home, 800 N. Irving aV. At 4:30 the
maniac set up a howl and started
shooting out his front window with
a high-powered rifle. His wife stood
at his side with a cartridge belt
about her waist. She was feeding
her husband the bullets. .
Aroused by the shots, Alfred Math-
ews, also coIored, of 324 N. Irving aV.,
stuck his head out his front door.
Mcintyre picked him off with a bull
let through the head. He dropped
dead.
Then Hampton Knox and his wife
Sadie, coIored, who live four doors
north, came out of their home. Nc
Intyre turned his rifle on the pair.
Knox dropped like a log, dead. His
wife retreated, but was badly wound
ed by a bullet through her side.
And then probably the worst trag-
edy of the affair happened. Mrs.
JOS. OVenneyer, who lives directly
back of Mcintyre, came to her back
fence. She was in a delicate condi-
ton. The stork was expected at her
home very shortly. But everybody
looked alike to the raving maniac.
He fired twice at Mrs. OVermeyer.
She dropped dead in her tracks. The
stork will not visit the OVermeyer
home.
A riot call was sent in shortly after
the first murder was committed. Cap
tain Wesley Westbrook, with two
wagon loads of police arrived on the
scene. They stormed the house. Nc
lntyre, however, seemed prepared
for this He oDaned fire on the offic-

ers and picked off Officer Stewart
Dean with a deadly bullet. Dean died
almost instantly. Officers Crabtree,
Clements and Moran fell badly
wounded.
The maniac had barricaded the
doors and windows of his home. He
was strongly set for a siege. His aim
was almost perfect. The police were
up against a crack shot.
Capt. Westbrook obtained high
powered rifles and his officers, with
the assistance of about 200 armed
citizens, stormed the house. McIn-
tyre kept returning the fire from va
rious windows. His wife could be
seen handing over bullets.
Finally Capt Westbrook ordered
tunnels dug underneath the house.
He threatened to dynamite the struc-
ture if Mcintyre didn't surrender.
The maniac's answer was another
fusiIlade of shots.
Westbrook was seen to break away
from the crowd. In an instant he
appeared on the roof of the house
next door. Without any delay he
tossed a large hunk of something
into a window of the Mcintyre home.
With a loud report the structure
shook and partially crumbled. Capt.
Westbrook had carried out his
threat to dynamite.
Police rushed into the house. Mrs.
Mcintyre was dead, all torn to pieces.
Her husband, though badly wound
to show any more fight.
He was taken to the Park avenue
hospital, where he died.
Writing on the walls of the McIn-
tyre home claimed the maniac the
king of the Negroes"

scene of the five killings. Police were
forced to run lines to keep the crowd

factor when the final choice is made.

That Baltimore followers Of the boxing

Ing Ertle in action is apparent. They
want to see for themselves Just what this
kewpie Of the West is made of. Reports
from the various places in the East
where Ertle has appeared in the squared
circle have been glowing as to his abil-
ity and the bout here next week will af-
ford the opportunity Of the Baltimore
critics saying yes or no to what others
have written and spoken.
Mike aMcNulty, manager of Ertle,
knows the sort of game he is sending
his man up against. He made 1t known.
further, when negotiations were on that
Ertle is undoubtedly being given one Of
the largest guarantees ever offered to a
boxer to appear in a bout In this city
Ertle played no small part while nego-
tiations were on, for he was most desir-
Gus to appear in Williams town." as he
continually remarked.

comes a matter OF history Johnny ErtIe
will have made 1t plain that he stands
ready to meet any boy in the country at
llS pounds. the legitimate bantam-weight
limit He proposes to make this part Of
the argument SO certain that there will
be no further quibbling over II, and some
lively times are looked for In the .pugi-
listic world when he hits town to COM
plete his training for the setto. It may
surprise some folks, but Ertle considers
ia pounds his best fighting weight In
asmuch. however. as the bantam-weight
limit is 116 pounds, that is the weight at
which he insists all of his matches be
made.

PARK ANSWERS CLAIM
MADE BY TRUXTONS

To the Sporting Editor of The WASH
ington Herald-In answer to the dispute
published in Thursday mornings Herald
in regard to the recent claim Of the
Truxtons as not having been scored
upon, the Truxtons state as follows:
When We journeyed to Potomac Park to
play the eleven representing the Park A.
{. we expected to meet a fair and square
opponent, but were disappointed. When
the Parks found themselves beaten in
the last period Of play they resorted to
unfair tactics. Their timekeeper and
others present set back their watches
fifteen minutes, making the Truxtons
play twenty-five minutes in the last quar-
ter. When this was done three of the
Truxtons left the field. having been in
structed by the umpire that the game
was over. 1t was after the official clos
ing Of the game that the Parks scored
their touchdown against the eight Trux-
ton players. This statement will be cor
roborated by Mr.. Borland, of Tech, the
referee
