Steel Vest May Have Saved Him
Riot squads secured the neighbor-
hood until dawn but found no trace
Of the slayer. whose protective vest
was believed to have saved him at
the time of the ShanAhan shooting.
Shanahan, who attempted to question
Durkin about Il stolen automobile,
fired at him at short range, witneS ses
said, without apparent effect.
The ambush last night was laid
after information was obtained from
Austin that Durkin and Austin's
niece, Betty Andrews Werner, might
come there for clothing in pre-
paration for IL flight from the city.
Austin was ordered to greet Durkin
and invi," him in on his arrival. when
the detectives would close in.
Jumps Through Window
Sergeant Gray, who was wounded,
recognized the slayer before Austin
could give the prearranged warming
and he and Durkin began firing.
The woman attempted to push down
Gray's shotgun and Austin got into
the line Of fire, receiving eleven
wounds in the right side.
Durkin leaped through an open
window as Gray fell and lodged
through the hands of detectives wait
ing below. They fired at him twice.
Search of the neighbOrhood failed to
show any blood traces and the police
believe Durkin'S arnlOred vest again
stood him in good stead.
Austin died early this morning of
gunshot wounds caused by slugs in
tended for Durkin. Twenty-Five
squads of police were mobiliZed at
the Englcwood police station and
sent after Durkin.
Mrs. Werner, who had been held
with her l5-months- old son since the
Shanahan killing and released last
Tuesday when she convinced, federal
authorities she had no knowledge of
Durkin's hideout, was arrested again
and held for questioning. She ad
mitted she had been living in no
tel with the slayer since her release.
Her interference with Gray's shot
gun probably saved Durkin, the po-
lice said.
