Two Escaped
.Convicts Shot
To Death Sun.

NEW YORK Up - Two escaped
convicts were shot to death yester-
day in furious gun battle with
police after leaving a trail of ter
ror across part of Pennsylvania
into New York City.
A detective was MORALLY wound
ed IN the hail of submachine gun
and pistol fire.
The third member of a despera-
do trio was captured unhurt as 81
policemen blasted their way into
the apartment where the fugitiveS
were hiding with three Negro
women.
Joseph Nolen, 26, and his brother
Ballard, % - two gun-craZy bad
men from Harlan ounty Ky. -
died in the roaring five minutes
of close-range fire.
Detective Philip Lamonica, As,
shot three times in the chest, died
in a hospital a short time later.
Detective Nicholas Cotter, "a,
was seriously wounded
Captured was Elmer Schuer, 81,
of Chicago, who broke out of the
LewiSburg, Pa, federal prison with
the Nolen brothers on Sept. 10.
They had been serving long terms
for bank robbery.
There was an ironical twist to
the captures - the trio never in
tended to come to New York.
After their escape, they wanted
to head for Scranton, Pa, but took
wrong road turn in a stolen car
When they found themselves head
ed for New York, they figured they
might as well close themselves in
the crowds of the big city, police
said.
Schuer told police about the
trio'S movements.
Schuer admitted, police said, that
the trio stole dozen weapons from
a Bronx gun store last Monday and
looted a Bronx bank of $12,670 in
a daring daylight holdup the next
day.
A vast manhunt had been
pressed for the three men since
they escaped from Lewisburg. Ter
rorizing a large section of Penn
sylvania, they held a family of
seven captive for 10 hours while
they hid in their home, stole money
and at least three cars, and
stabbed a private-duty policeman.
New York police, converging on
a seventh-floor apartment in down
town Manhattan shortly after Sat-
urday midnight on a tip that the
fugitiveS were holed up there,
found the place barricaded.
The fugitives were surprised in a
tryst with three Negro women, all
of whom were seized and held as
material witnesses. The apartment
bore evidence of drinking bout.
Police said an unidentified sutton
of one of the women Arlene
Ball,32 gave the information
that led to the desperadoeS' hide
out.
A burst of gunfire - including
machine-gun blasts from at least
one of the fugitivess - met the

police after they broke down a
door of the apartment.
The Nolen brthers kept shoot
mig unit they fell dead. Schuer,
hiding under the bed with a nude
woman, fired severa times but
finally yelled: 'Pm not going to
shoot. l give up" The mattress
was shredded by bullets. The two
other women hid in the bathroom
during the gunplay.
Schuer was booked on charges
of homicide, felonious assault and
violation of the Sullivan (anti-
weaponS) Law.

Mommie & Poppie
Restaurant to Open

will"-that is the slogan of Cal
thersburg's newest restaurant,

DER word for it; go in and see for

Mr.. Ciarrocchi said one of his
aims is to make it cheaper to eat
at his restaurant than it is to eat
a home. Then too, he said he is
so sure his food will be good that
he will guarantee every meal.
What more could anyone ask?
Like every other good cook, Mr..
Ciarrocchf will not reveal the
secrets of his special dishes, but
he did say that among the spices
used in his shrimp are five import
ed ones, thus accounting for their
unusual flavor. In addition to
seafood, steaks and chicken (cook-
ed to perfection but still no recipes
were given) will be on the menu.
So that you may know what the
menu will be, weekly menus will
be published in the Sentinel later.
The restaurant will be open from
Z am. until II pm. Monday

closed on Sunday. Shrimp feasts
will be held on Tuesday nights,
