but was unconscious from the time
he was shot. Although three police
officers had the prisoner In custody,

Olivia, according to the meager In
formation gathered by the police, was
some distance from Christiana when
he is alleged to have fired the shot.
The wounded man fell TO the ground
while Olivia made a dash to get away.
Some accounts OF the affair which

companion. The sound OF the shot
aroused pedestrians and residents OF
the street. who started In pursuit. The
fleeing man turned once and waved a
revolver. It Is said, at his pursuers,
running up Washington street to
Third, then to West and thence to
Second street, where he jumped on
an eastbohnd car. He Jumped Off

ran into the arms OF Thomas Noschell

Voschell struggled. when the former
drew a razor and cut Voschell. How
ever, Noschell IA n large man and
clung TO his prisoner until the police
officers came TO his aid. Olivia was
searched on the spot but no revolver
was found.

Gates this loyalty in practical way

and he will throw open the pass
