His asaailant, Joseph Calamango, of 183 Vanderv* nter Ave? nue. was captured, pistol in hand. by a shopkeeper. who ran out with his re? volver, Shreyer, who lives at 504 Flushing Avenue. Astoria, bought an automobile recently and last night ho went to an accessory shop on Steinway Avenue to get some bolts for ar attachment to his car. The mere accident that when he reached the shop, ot about 7:30 p. m., its proprietor had not yet opened it for the evening, precipitated the ? ragedy. Wh le hc was standing in fronl of the shop a young woman came along she was bareheaded nnd evidently on i eighborhood errand, for sh" carried a Bcrewdriver in one hand as though ' she had just borrowed i1 from a friend. Several of the scores of people jn front of the theater saw her pause be? side Shreyer, but neither gave sign of recognition. Whether Shreyer spoke to her or she to him, none could say certainly. Husband l.cts (HT Streetcar In the instanl that she paused a streetcar stopped and a man got off. He w;.< Calamango, ihe young woman'" husband. At. sight of' her standing beside Shreyer he drew a revolver' ami started on a run toward tl e couple. ir.e young woman fled, screaming. Shreyer turned in surprise. Cala? mango, without a word, loveled his re? volver and fired two shots. The first went through Shreyer's right. arm. The second struck him in the abdomeu anrl he fell. Calmango stopped firing, but con- . tinued to run toward his victim.1 Shreyer eathered himself together and strugglcd to his feet. His assailant lcvcled his revolver again and Shreyer ran south on Steinway Avenue to Grand Avenue, Calmango in hot pur suit. Al Grand Avenue Shreyer, almost on hausted, darted into a pcrfumery shop. Calamango was on his heels. Clerks disappeared bchind the counters at sight of the chase. Two women cus? tomers sank to the floor, faillting. Shoots Yictim Again Shreyer dodgcd around a central showcase, gaining a little on his pur suer in the turnings and reached the dooi again, Beforo he could slam it behind him Calamango was on the threshold. Shreyer was reeling from: weakness and loss of blood, but his pursuer apparently was. resolved to take no further chances of losing him. As soon ns he emerged from the doorway of the pcrfumery shop he br'- ! gan to tire. His first shot went wild, but his second struck Shreyer in the j abdomen and brought. him down. Calamango was almost at his side' when Charles Lederer ran out of his music shon at Grand and Steinwa*. Avenue, with .?*. revolver, which, lie had snatched from a drawer at the sound of the shots. Lederer took in the situ-; ation at a glance and made for the; man with the revolver. Before < alamango caughl Bight of him Lederer had his revolver jammed | rnto his side and was ordering him to put up his hands. Calamango hesi tat.ed, but before he could use his revolver again. if he intendefl to, Thomas Curley, h special patrolman atl the Astoria Theater, twlated the weapon out of his hand. About thi? time .? policeman ap-| peared and took charge, Shroyer was | taken to St. Jo-hn'a Hospital, where it wnr. said hia chance for recovery wa r | small.
