Trailing Alfred Beck, Jr, of Milton

Surprised at the sudden appear
ance of Frank Collabelli, an apart

accompanying Beck through the
building, the gunner started a free
for all fight.
Stepping clear of the melee, the
leading holdup man fired a shot at
Beck, wounding him in the right
leg. He turned to flee as he did so
but suddenly crumpled to the
ground, shot through the head. His
companion fled. Police were I'M
able to account for the shot that
killed the thief. Beck and Colabelli
heard only one shot and witnesses
in buildings along the court bear
out their story. One theory which

he was the victim of another gang
of holdup men who were aware of
the holdup and planned on hi-jack-
ing him of the loot.
