Peter Gerlett, Arrested After
Chase, Blamed Broken Home
on Intended Victim.

II saw a lot OF pluck when I was
over with the boys in France, but
for pure unadulterated courage
you've got>to give it to Mary Martin"
This was the tribute paid to-day
by John ]. Burns, a Fighting Goth
Regiment hero, to his sweetheart,
who shortly after midnight this
morning insisted on shielding the
former soldier from shots fired at
him from an automatic and who fell
with three bullets in her body. Tho
girl is in tho Metropolitan Hospital
and although her condition is serious
the latest reports state that she has
fighting chance for recovery.
II thought the world and all OF
Mary, but now l worship her" said
Burns, "and when she gets out Of
the hospital I am going TO ask her
10 marry me at once"
Burns, Mary Martin, twenty-SN
years old, Of No. 1920 Avenue A, and
Eurns sister, Mrs. Peter Gerlctt, Of
No. lO1S Avenue A, were returning
from the theatre At Avenue A and
Fifty-hfth street, as the trio were
humming a tune they had heard at
the playhouse, Peter Gerlett suddenly
stepped from doorway and pointing
an automatic at Burns, remarked:
"Iu give il to you this time Jack
Burns"
Mrs. Gerlett ran screaming down
the street. Burns scizing Mary Mar
tin by tho arm pushed her behind
him as a shot whistled past his right
ear. Miss Martin, however, rushed in
front of her stalwart lover when Il
second shot pierced her left arm.
Again Burns pushed the girl behind
him.
But she insisted on acting as 4
shield and as she placed herself in
front Of Burns once more two shots
struck her, one in the, left side and
the other in the left breast. The girl
crumpled at the feet Of her lover.
Then, with Gerlett standing over him
Burns deliberately turned his back
and picked the unconscious girl up
in his arms.
The demonstration OF nerve un-
manned Gerlett and placing the auto
matte in his pocket he turned to
make his escape and was seized by
Patrolman Healy who had run up at
the sound Of shooting.
Gerlett was locked up in the East
5ist street Station and later taken
to Headquarters. He charged that
Burns had interfered between him
self and his wife and had caused
them to separate Burns emphaticaly
denies that he had interfered beyond
assisting his sister and her three chill
dren financially. Gcrlctt has been
living at No. 4O5 East 79th Street.
Jack Burns was wounded seven
times during his service with the 165th
infantry in the World War and had
the Distinguished Service Cross and
the Croix de Gucrre conferred upon
him for bravery. On one occasion
with two other men he Went into the
