BURGLARS DEAD AFTER BATTLE
 WITH OFFICERS
Officers Also Wounded in Pistol Duel in Greenwich
 Cellar.

Greenwich, Feb. 1.-Two men are wounded and two dead today as the result of a revolver duel early this morning between State Policeman Alexander McMurtrey and Addison Bacon and two burglars, Antonio Ter renzfo and Giovanni Martillo, the lat ter two being dead and the two for mer slightly hurt.
 McMurtrey and Bacon were at the Sound Beach fire station last night and received g. telephone message that someone had broken into the house of Eliza G. Morris at Rocky Point. They started immediately fot the building and on reaching 1t be- gan a search which eventually led them to the cellar.
 On entering the cellar the two in vestigators found two men crouching in a corner and when commanded to throw up their hands the burglars opened fire. McMurtrey and Bacon responded end in all about 50 shots were exchanged.
 Terrenzio was first to fall. g. bullet wound through the stomach killing him almost instantly. Martillo was wounded five times before he gave up the fight. He died in the ambulance on the way to the Greenwich hos pital.
 Search of the bodies of the two dead burglars revealed the fact that they came from Stamford and police there instituted a search which un- covered $5,0O0 in table linen and sil- verware stolen from summer houses in Stamford and Greenwich. It is thought that about eight robberies were committed by the pair before their career was ended in this morn ing's battle.
 McMurtrey was wounded in the right arm and Bacon was struck 1T 1 the neck Both men are reported to be in no danger as a result of the shooting.
