CHARLES T. DAVIS HELD

as Acting Queerly.'
MYSTERY OVER MOTIVE
Police Investigation Fails to
Unravel Incidents Pre-
ceding Shooting.

Joseph Bridgetts, acting detective
sergeant of the Parkville station,
Brooklyn, was shot and killed late
yesterday afternoon by Charles r.
Davis, a manufacturer of surgical sup
plies IN 2l7 to 221 Duffield street,
Brooklyn. while he was trying to take
rife away from the manufacturer
In the latter's office. A few moments
later Davis also shot Detective Ed
ward @. McGlone OF the Parkv.lle sta
ton and George w. Horsn, an In
surance ad1uster for the Sheridan
Adjusting Agency OF 60 William
street Both McGlone and Horan were
shot in the foot and We're not Sc
riously hurt.
The Brooklyn police have not been
able to learn the details of the trouble
that resulted in the killing of Brid-
gets and the shooting Of Horan and
McGlone, although they do know that
it followed an interview which Brid-
getts had with Davis in Davis's pri-
vate Office regarding an automobile
which was stolen from Davis in 1919.
Davis is locked up in the Adams street
station and will be arraigned this
morning in the Adams Street Court
lon charge of murder Last night
he was on the verge Of collapse and
would not answer questions. What
talking he did to the police was more
or less incoherent and disconnected.
stolen Car Behind shooting.
The automobile which was at the bot
tom OF the shooting Of Bridgetts was a
Ford sedan. reported by Davis as hsv-
Ing been stolen In November. 1919. Ac-
cording to the Brooklyn police. the car
was found by Davis without the aid Of
the department. and later traded by him
for another make. II II alleged. how
ever that he collected the 1000 theft
insurance from the Phoenix Insurance
Company. and that the police were
drawn into the case by reason OF hav-
ing searched for the stolen car. Last
week petective Bridgetts went to see
Davis and talked with him for some
time about the stolen car. but It Is not
known what transpired then. as Davis
refuses TO talk about the visit
Bridgctts. McGlone and Horsn went
into Davis's Offices and factory on TIE
fifth floor OF the Duff1eld street build
ing. yesterday afternoon about o'clock.
and Bridgetts asked TO sec Davis. An
ONCE boy brought out word that the
manufacturer was busy and could not
see them.
Tell him am a police officer," said
Briosetts, and I intend TO see him."
The detective pusned past the ONCE
boy and went into Davis's Office, while
Detective McGlone and Horan waited
behind partition which divides the
main Offices from q sort of waiting
room OF vestibulc near the elevator
shaft. A few minutes after Bridgetts
went inside McGlone and Horan heard
a noise. II sounded as II two men
were struggling, but before they could
run I'm they heard Bridgetts shout:
"oh. Eddie. he's killing me-"
