Rescue Prisoner.
WIIlSkEY IN BAG SEIZED
Heads Broken and Boat Up
turned in Desperate Strug-
gle With GangSterS.

Five armed customs guards early
this morning fought a desperate bat
tic with about fifty members of the
Gopher gang" who attacked them In
an effort to rescue a prisoner the Gus
toms men had seized in a raid on
smugglcrs on the North River front
near 57th Street
Shots were fired by both sides and
the police reserves and the harbor
! police were called out. The customs
men were beaten and their clothes
were almost torn from them, but they
clung to their prisoner and the gangs
ters finally were beaten off with
broken heads and wounds.
The customs men were George
Barron, John McAdans, william
Mangin, Walter Semsey and Edward
! Staracc. The prisoner. who was
locked up at the Barge Office. said
he was Charles Lyon, IA longghore-
man, OF No. 1853 West SD Street.
! The gaurds were hiding on Pier
| No. 81 at the foot of 57th Street,
suspccting that some of the crew OF
the steamship Caserta, which arrived
few days ago from Naples, were
cooperating with the smugglers.
| Shortly before midnight the watch
ers heard the splash of oars and a
/ rowboat without lights nosed its way
/ to II coal barge lying alongside the
Clserta- In the dim light they saw
four men carrying packages from the
steamer to the rowboat. Waiting un-
til they thought the smugglers had
loaded full cargo the customs men
rushed them.
There was a fusilade of shots from
the smugglcrs. who leaped into their
boat and pulled away. The customs
men fired at them, but n tie dark
| ness their shots went wild. The
smugglcrs headed out into the river.
One OF the customs men summoned
aid from the harbor police. Lunch
No. 3, in charge OF Patrolman John
Penn, came speeding towards the pier
and the smugglcrs turned back and
ran their boat under the plling.
While the launch crulsed up ant
down the river, cutting of escape in
that direction, the customs guard;
searched the piers. AT Pier No. 8;
they found the men hastily unloading
their boat. They again rushed the
men, who threw their bundles intc
the river and again diyed for theii
boat. One man went overheard and
swan under the piling. Another
headed out, apparently in an attemp
TO swim to the Jersey coast.
