WRONG MAN SHOT,
. HOLD-UP EVIDENCE
New York Policeman Blinded
and May Die on Michigan
Trip With Family.
BY the Associated Press.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, September 10
A possibility that Peter j. O'Rourke,
New Yor. policeman, who was blinded
and seriously wounded by gunner early
yesterday, may have been the victim Of
mistaken identity, was considered by po-
lice here today.
O'Rourke, who was motoring with his
family, was shot through the head by
two young men, whom Mrs. O'Rourke
thought to be robbers. She pleaded
with them not to take her money-$50
and they complied.
This, together with the experience of
another motorist who was stopped on
the same road between here and Ply
mouth, Mich, the same night and was
not robbed caused police to believe that
the gunner might have been asSassins
looking for a certain man instead of
highway robbers.
ORourke, his wife and three children
had been visiting Mrs. O'Rourke's par
ents in Battle Greek, and were on the
return trip to New York when attacked.
His 11-year-old daughter, Betty, was
grazed by one of the bullets fired at
her father.
The policeman's condition remained
critical today. Even if he should re-
cover, he will be blind.

ance agent are regretting that
the strange noises they investi-
gated in the basement of the
agents home Tuesday night were
not made by burglar as they

the agent, and the three police
men, found on entering the base
ment a mephitis mephitica, more
commonly known as a skunk,
which had caught its head in a

approached, thinking they were
dealing with an ordinary house
cat.
Although all four fired, killing
the animal, discovery Of their err
ror was too late, for the damage
had already been done.
