to have been watching on the outside
of the car, was shot also and seriously
wounded, supposedly by a special agent

moved to the Hilman hospital last night
for medical treatment. 1t is expected
that he will die, as he is suffering from
four bullet wounds.
Sheldon told Officers DeGroat and Pat
terson at the hospital, according to the
police records, that he went to the car
with Brown, and that Brown had broken
the seal and was on the inside when the
man who did the shooting approached.
He jumped from the car and both were
shot when they attempted TO run.
Brown was picked UP on Twelfth street,
between Fifth and Sixth avenues and
Sheldon ran into a negro house on Fifth
avenue between Twelfth and Thirteenth
streets He was removed to the Hill
