Both Carrello and the boy we're

on Columbia Street, heard the shots.
Crowd Gathers
When he arrived at Sackett Street
large crowd was jostling at the inter-
section of Sackett and Columbia streets
They were fighting for a chance to
catch sight of the wounded man and
child, whom Patrolman Lyon found ly
ing about twenty feet apart on Sackett

After calling ambulances Lyons de-
tanned as witnesses Mrs. Sydney Sal

These witnesses said that they be-
lieved three shots were fired. The first

elbow and the second the child The
third went wild. All the witnesses
said that the shooting took place so
suddenly that no attempt was made to
stop the man who fired the shots. He
is said to have sought refuge in
building near by. The police searched
this building later, but no arrest was
made.

Own Shots Scare Hold-Ups
we're mistaken by persons in Furman
Street, Brooklyn. yesterday for foolish
youths trying to be funny, entered the
grocery store of Joseph J. Johnson, 339
Furman Street, fired two shots at him
and fed without touching a thing in
the then deserted store.
The two youths, with their masks
on, are said to have come out Of the
hallway at 341 Furfnan Street. No one
In the busy street paid them the least
attention. They entered the grocery
and, without waiting to make any ex-
plantations, greeted the proprietor with
two bullets from pistols which they
had drawn. Johnson dashed for the
door in the rear of the store Two bull
lets were lodged in the door.
Two men attacked Philip BLY,, pro-
prietor Of the Alliance Sash and Door
Company, of 245 Java Street, Brooklyn
yesterday as he was returning from
the Greenpoint National Bank, and
when he refused to relnquish his hold
on a strong box, in which he had the
pay roll of the company, amounting to
1900, they pursued him for several
blocks
Flees for Police Station
Bly, was passing 1872 Java Street
when the men attacked him. He told
the police that one Of them struck him
a glancing blow with a blackjack. BLY,
frightened his hold on the box and be-
gan to run. When he gained the steps
of the Greenpont police station he
turned around. There was no one in
sight for blocks. BLY, said he was sure
that the men pursued him for several
blocks at least, and thought that they
were at his heels every step of the way.
The police of Brooklyn sent out
general alarm for Louis Agnessa, of
26o Navy Street, yesterday, following
the rem moval of his wife Phili-nina,
forty-one years Old, and his daughter

nessa from bruises on the head. Ac-
cording. to the police, the husband at
