Failed to Report Shooting.
After getting Holsinger into the
hospital, F'inkS and Mcintosh returned
to Fairfax County without reporting the
shooting to Washington police, as, &C
cording to the latter, is Customary.
Both officers were badly bruised and
Finks was taken to the Alexandria Hos
pital where several stitches were re-
ouired to close head wound. Both
were heavily bandaged this morning
when taken into custody.
The policemen said they were forced
to shoot HolSinger because he was
beating them numerically with the
blackjack he had snatcned from Finks.
They denied that Mcintosh was on Hol-
singers back when Finks opened fire,
Finks claimed Mcintosh had been da2ed
by a blew from HolSinger and that he
realized he was no match for the giant
sized man., he was forced to resort to
the use of his gun.
Holsinger denied he had whisky in
his car or had he been drinking. He
admitted that he ran afoul Of the law in
Fairfax County four years ago and
served three months at hard labor for
selling whisky.
The shooting occurred yesterday near
the spot where Policeman Mcintosh
was shot by W. E. Smith, Treasury
Department clerk, on March ID last,
