intruder retreated. firing once wild. ly as he backed out the window.
 The bullet, from g .3S calibre re- volver. buried itself in the wall about knee high from the floor.
 Didn't Follow Him
 Dempsey and Fitxsimmons, of De- troit. said they did not follow the intruder because they were unarmed and there were no lights on the grounds. They did not telephone police at that time because 1t would have been necessary to go through doorway in the direction from which the prowler and his supposed accomplice approached. Dempsey said,
 The theory was advanced that the man was a burglar and that he did not know he was entering q room occupied by Dempsey.
 "I have no enemies" the former champion told police. II believe the man picked my room by accident, hoping to make an easy cleanup"
 Nevertheless. two plain clothesmen have been assigned to guard Demp- sey.
 Dempsey later was quoted by friends as saying he believed two men intended to kidnap him and hold him for ransom. until after the sharkey-stribling fight. The men returned to the Moir home a half hour after their visit. flashed the lights of their automobile on the house and drove away, Dempsey said.
