 Policeman Draws Gun
 ohicer Cosgrove gave a graphic description of the fight and was submitted to . searching cross ex- animation by Attorney B. J. Mon- kiewicx, who represented Grabow- ski. The officer testified that he was in . store at 24 Clark street about driven by Charles Grabowski turn into a driveway below the store after having come down Clark street hill. William Grabowski was in the rear seat.
 Going into the driveway, the off, cer saw William get out carrying a five gallon can covered with coat. Drawing his revolver, the officer commanded Grabowski to stop but instead he dropped the can and ran towards the rear part of the prop erty. "stop or I'll let you have it, Ao Arr, ol hn e L turned around and as he advanced towards the officer, muttered: Cos grove, you'll never take me alive "Well. nobody wants to kill you. Billy" the officer answered and put his revovler back into his holster.
 Threatens With Axe
 Picking up the can, the officer commanded Grabowski to precede him to the street but Grabowski re- fused. As the officer maneuvered around to lay hands on him without letting go of the can, Grabowski spared with him and kept a dis tance. The officer told him he would arrest him later if he escaped at the moment, and Garbowski sud- denly seized an axe which was near . pile of wood, and raising it up over his head, swung it in a down. ward arc, eXclaiming with a vile phrase: ''I'll give it to you" "Oh. that's the way you feel about it is it." the officer replied, stepping backwards out of the way of the axe and raising his nightstick to de- fend himself at the same time set- ting down the can. The axe struck the can. and broke d slit near the top. and Grabowski fled.
 Picking up the can, Officer Cos grove walked across the street to- wards Meehan's Monumental Works. intending to use the telephone to summon the patrol wagon. In the meantime, Charles Grabowski. who had not left the sedan, had driven away. As the officer reached the monumental works yard. William who had come out on Clark street and evaded him behind truck jumped on him and the battle was on. From the officers description and that of witnesses. it was one of the fiercest hand-to-hand fights local policeman has been in for long time.

The can, from which the fumes of alcohol emanated, according to the officer, was on the ground nearby and several persons in the crowd which was rapidly gathering at the scene were called upon by Grabow- ski to spill it.
 Women Help GrabOwski
 Two or three women in the crowd pitched in to help Grabowski and several men came to the officers assistance but the women pulled them away. One man who was called on by the officer for assistance could not respond on account of an in- jured hand and the officer called on him to watch the can. During the battle, a woman spilled the contents of the can onto the ground, and when Ora abowski was finally subdued. there was only small amount of alcohol left.
