It developed today that Albert J..
Allguyer Of Brooklyn, N. Y, who
was wounded in the Market Square
riot, Oct. 6, and who Is believed to
be near death iM st. Anthony's hos

sponsibility for the rioting.
Allguyer Is conceded only a
slight chance for recovery, and
the authorities are said to be anx-
ious to connect up scattered EVIL
dence to show that he was not an
innocent spectator, as he claimed.
Mr.. Mosher is said to have visited
Allguyer in the hospital Saturday
