Walter Derosier, l9, Shot By Policeman As Bandit Gang Sends Fusilade of Shots Into Lunch Cart.
Companions of Youthful Robber Leave Body and Stolen Car in Alley and Make Their Escape
Bv ThA Assncisteh Prnsn

By Ths Associated Press.
 Worcester, Aug. 2i-Walter De- rosier, l9, one of the John Troy ban dit gang that has been terrorizing Worcester and Worcester county the past two weeks, was fatally shot ip gun battle with Patrolmau Daniel Sullivan in the lunch cart of the Pa.. trolman's brother at Cambridge and Harding streets at 1:3O this morn- ing.
 His lifeless body was found in . touring car which had been used by the trio for new series of holdups just prior to the hodup at the sul- lican cart.
 Abandoned by Pals.
 He was abandoned by his pals in crime in the driveway leading to the barn of William F. Lyon, 13 Pratt Court at 2:S0 this morning. as MT. Lyon heard a car drive into the court at that hour. But it was nearly four hours later before the body was discovered and the police notified.
 Bleeding from wound under his heart and two wounds in his right arm, Derosier escaped from the lunch cart to an automobile which was stopped at the curb and in which were two Of his pals. believed to be John Troy and Dennis Britt.
 Escape in Hail of Lead.
 While Derosier was making his escape from the lunch cart his pals poured fusillade of bullets into the cart.
 As Derosier tumbled into the car he dropped his automatic on the sidewalk. Patrolman Sullivan had put three bullets into him at close range.
 One or both of the pals may be wounded. as l5rolman Florence | Driscoll emptied his revolver at the fleeing machine from close range as 1t sped past him at the corner of Cambridge and Southbridge streets a few minutes after the final des- perate holdup attempt which proved to be the end of the trail for De- roSier.
 Machine Siddled
 Three bullets struck the ma chine and one went through the rear side curtain and might have struck cne of the riders, No blood was found in the car, however. Patro}man James r. Sheehan, who answered the call to Pratt Court of the police patrol, positively identified the body as that of Walter Derosier of Bowker street.
 The car, which was stolen yester- day from in front of the Packard sales station at Shrewsbury, bears the marks of four bullets.
 One bullet in the top, at the right rear side of the car. bears smoke marks, and the police believe that the shot that caused it was fired from inside the car. A second hole is In the small triangular piece of cur. tain at the right side. A third shot is embedded In the right rear hub cap and from the twisted appearance of the hole, would seem to indicate that the shot was fired while the car was in motion. The fourth shot passed into the spare tire from the left.
 An Ohio and a Massachusetts reg istration plate were on the floor in | the rear of the car and automobile sales literature was strewn on the floor. A pair of tortoise shell rim med spectacles were found on ths rear cushion. The car bore no stains Of blood, nor was there much dirt or dust on the body af the car or | wheels.
 Derosier's pals apparently have made 2 clear getaway.

OAK GROVE
Unique Birthday Gift

Tuesday will go down in Oak Grove
annals as a decidedly unusual day
for it is doubtful II a birthday was
ever celebrated in more unique style.
Last week when a rumor reached
Mrs. Owens room that her girls
were planning fine birthday pres
ent she sent an ambassador to beg
that she might name her gift. Mrs.
Owens wish was that from the time
each girl awoke until the day was
done, each would try to cultivate the
poise, the grace, the gently modu-
lated voice and the whole charm of a
proverbial princess. The novelty of
the idea met with a warm response
and some of the girls began to get
in practice for what they had soon
affectionately termed "Lady's Day."
The fact that Mrs. Owen had to be
taken to the Sisters hospital in Wa
terville on the eve of the great day,
increased the devotion with which
her girls observed the day. Dozens of
letters carried pledges Of loyalty and
cheer to the hospital and the girls
succeeded very noticeably in their
observance of day which will I'M
doubtedly become an annual event at
Oak Grove. The hockey victory in
the afternoon gave a bright dash OF
color to the day and the program
closed with a little party arranged by
Mr.. Owen. The assembly hall was
decorated with large vases Of cut
flowers which had been sent Mrs.
Owen during the past week END.
John Choate Of Waterville gave de-
lightful musical program.
At the close of the concert Mr..
owen served refreshments and the
girls, mindful Of their manners, ex-
pressed their appreciation most
gracefully. The sincere enthusiasm
of the girls in making a perfect birth
day present to Mrs. Owen was
beautiful tribute.
The regular French chapel exer-
cises were conducted by Miss Meader
head Of the department of French.
After the assemblage had sung lie
cantique "Tel que je suis," Miss
Meader read from the scriptures,
les beatitudes from lie sermon sur la
montague. The student body Joined
in reciting fOraison Dominicale after
which Misses Norcross and Smith
rendered la chanson, "Au clair de la
lune." The exercises were concluded
with the announcements for the day
which were given in French.
A treat extraordinary was rendered
lecture demonstration recital by
John F. Choate of Waterville. After
the evening study hour. a new ortho-
phonic Victrola and an old type ma
chine were brought into the assembly
room. Mr.. Choate briefly and clearly
spoke of the Improvements in this
latest masterpiece of the Victrola
family. The program consisted of
choruses, band and orchestra selec-
lions, readings and ranged from light,
popular numbers to such classical
numbers as Saint-Saens' "Danse
Macabre''
After the Victro1a concert. Mr..
Choate graciously acceded to a .pson-
taneous request and sang two num-
bers. THE Bells Of st. Mary" and
THE Old Fashioned Garden"
The regular mid-week services
were held in Sophia Bailey Memorial
chapel with Few. Mr.. Haynes, pro-
lessor of Biblical literature, Colby
