Thomas Malone, of 2172 Eighth Ave
nue., was shot in the back early yester-
day morning by Patrolman Edward j.
Cassidy, who identified him as one of
two men who had taken his watch and
S37 at the point Of revolver. Malone's
wound is serious one.
Cassidy was off duty and out Of uni
form when the hold-up took place. He
had been to q dance and escorted
young woman to her home in Eighth
Avenue. There was no car in sight and
Cassidy seated himself on the steps Of
2077 Eighth Avenue to wait for one
He was half asleep when the sharp
command: "Put 'em up" aroused him.
Two men confronted him and one of
them had him covered" Cassidy "put
sem up" without delay. Finding his
watch and money promptly, the high
waymen did not prosecute their search
further and failed to discover that
Cassidy carried a revolver. AS they
made off he drew it and ordered them
to halt.
Refuse to Halt
The fugitives merely increased their
pace and Cassidy sent bullet over
their heads, which seemed to inspire
them to greater efforts. With his next
shot Cassidy took pains and Malone
dropped. He was taken to Harlem
Hospital. When he recovered con-
seriousness ne denied that he was one
OF the men who had robbed Cassidy. He
had neither the watch nor the money,
nor was revolver found on him
Two men with burglars tools were
caught at rear window of shoe
store at 1856 Bowery through the alert
ness and presence of mind of Patrol
man James Pellegrino, of the Elizabeth
Street police station. They said they
were Frank Kennedy, of $40 East
Twenty Street, and Thomas
O'Rourke, of 403 West Fifty-eighth
Street. They were held in $4,000 bail
each in the Tombs Police Court for ex-
ANIMATION on charge of attempted
burglary.
Pellegrino saw them enter q tene-
anent on Spring Street which he knew
to be occupied almost exclusively by
Italians. Neither of the men looked to
him like an Italian and he followed
them. He found that the rear entrance
of the tenement opened on an alley
bordered by wall, on the far side Of
which are the rear entrances of the
stores on the BoWery.
Peeping over the wall he saw Ken
needy and O'Rourke examining the rear
window of the shoe store. The patrol
man summoned the reserves, had the
block surrounded and then informed
the pair that they were under arrest.
AN iron bar and several small panes\
of glass had been removed from the
window.

hours of the morning was that of John
Doyle, of 779 Tenth Avenue, and John

cry. They were arrested by Detective
