The patrol was met at the corner o( Fourth South and Fifth West streets by Mrs. David H. Cook, from where tho tele phone message had been sent. The squad of man hunters was divided, flvu going to the front of the house by way ol Lovo'a court nnd six to the rear through a lane opening off Fourth South street.

The hunted mar. dashed out of ihc dooway Jit the ca.st end and, doubling, ran west between the .shanty and the house in front. A flashlight In tho hands of Detective Kecd Billings revealod the fusjillva as he dashed through the narrow lane. The first shot was fired by Detective Moroni Gil lespie. Too fast to count, other shots rang out as the man cleared the end of the shed and tried to dash through the illumination of many flash lamps and es caped round the corner of the house to tho south. Saved by Pocketbook. A bullet that would have ended the life of the terrorized man but for the strength of a heavy billfold in his coat breast pocket struck the chest of the fleeing man. That he was not riddled by leaden death messengers was duo to the fact that he was hit by one of the first bullets fired and dropped out of range of the others. Unmindful of the weapon carried In the desperado's hand, the policemen rushed to where he had fallen. As he lay where he had slumped down in a puddle of mud and rain water, the wounded man's eyes rolled in terror mixed with a baleful gleam of hate that was revealed by the lights from the elec tric flash lamps. Not Fatally Wounded. Before he could aim the heavy Colt's revolver held in his hand, it was wrenched from his hand, and he was lifted to his feet by Captain Emil Johnson and Pa trolmen IJendrickson and Emery. He was found to bo not mortally wounded and was forced to walk through a back lane to Fourth South street, where the auto patrol was standing. Quicklv the journey was ibegoin to the county Jail, the patrol, filled with the men who had made the capture, many of them holding to the prisoner, ns If yet unable to realize that tho slayer of Pa trolman Griffiths was secure within the grasp of the law. Though the feollngs of the policemen was reflected in the grim expressions on their faces and their silence, no act of roughness or threatening expression was directed toward the captive. Was Able to Walk. At the counYy jail Anselmo was turned over to Sheriff Smith. He was rushed to the emergency hospital in the jail, where Dr. R. W. Ashley dressed the wound. He was of the opinion that the bullet was a .38, and believed that it lodged In tho groin toward the front of the left side. , j The -wound did not provent Anselmo from walking, although he limped and showed signs of being In great pain, which frequently caused him to cxtch his breath and stop talking. He was taken down to the sheriff's office, where Sheriff. Smith asked him some questions. "What did you shoot the policeman for?" was the llrst question asked. Denies the Shooting. Anselmo looked blankly at tho sheriff, then leisurely around tho room. "I didn't shoot policeman, I shot at fellow T was playing cards "with," he finally answered. But he Immediately amended this an swer by declaring' repeatedly, "I don't know, L don't know," and then said that he was drunk during the day and could not remember anything about a police man. It was evident that ho was weak and sick from the effects of the wound and would not talk. He was taken to a cell In the rear corridor. Confesses Murder. Later in the evening Sherlf Smith, de termined to get more from him, ques tioned the prisoner again. Then, accord- would accept tho position of special prosecutor 'were it tendered him by President Wilson.

"Thus terminates the most useful as well as tho happiest year of my public life," said John I... McNab boforo United States District Judge Van Fleet today, announc ing that his resignation as United States district attorney for the northern district of California had been accepted by Presi dent Wilson. "I retiro content in the knowledge that T have done my best" McNab paid trlbuto to the court In hl3 farewell for Its Just treatment of all liti gants "without regard to wealth or sta tion or their position with the govern ment." In reply, Judffo Van Fleet said In part: "Mr. McNab. I would bo stating less than the truth if I did not say that It Is with most sincere regret that I learned of your resignation. Without referring to tho circumstances of your departure, I muBt say that the government la losing a painstaking and efficient officer at this end of the department of Justlco." Later McNab issued a statement to tho press branding the explanation sent to the president by the attorney general as "lame and puerile," "One of two things Is true," the state--ennAD?liesr, 'Either the attorney general withheld from the president my repeated meseages of warning that cor ruption and influence were de6troving the cases and postponement was fatal; or official Washington is neither sensitive nor responsive to the charge of corrup tion Itj. its public service." , ' Ing to Sheriff Smith, he confessed to tho shooting, declaring that he had made a mistake, that he Intended to shoot Peter ! MasI, the man he was playing cards with, : and who ran along with Patrolman Grlf ' fiths when he was taking Anselmo lo tho i police box. Ho repeated his declaration that he was drunk and did not know what he was doing. I A search of his pockets revealed tho fact that he had narrowly escaped death, A pocketbook in his Inside coat pocket i was all that saved him. A bullet had penetrated tho coal, hit the pocketbook, tearing through It and glanced outward again. It. even lore n ?20 bill that was In the purse. Bought Revolver Yesterday. Nothing of particular importance was found in the "purso. A receipt from tho Western Arms & Sporting Goods company, dated June 2fi, showed tha. he had pur chased the .3S-20 with which he did the shooting yeBlerday, supposedly early In the day. Ho was wearing a brown coat when captured, but had on the trousers of- the blue coat In which the black masks were found, Anselmo denied all knowledge of tho masks. Shorlff Smith asked him why he had them. He quickly replied that he did not. When he was told that, his father had said they belonged to his son, ho raised his head and opened his eyes wider. "My father no, somebody put them In my coat. I never had them," and he re lapsed Into silence again. Appeared Dazed. Comments were freely made In his pres ence at the county jail that It was too bad one of the bullets didn't wound him fatally. Dcsplto the fact that he evident ly heard and understood evory remark made, he paid no attention to anyone. Although he did not appear to be particu larly terror-stricken at the Jail, ho seemed to be dazed from the excitement of the day, and ncted so until ho was helped to a coll for the night. At the police station nothing was dis cussed during the evening but the capture. Gloom and happiness were curiously In termingled In the discussion. Officers, detectives and patrolmon discussed the capture and their gratification over the fact that the police had captured the slayer of their comrade. But the gloom was aptly oxpressed by one patrolman who, after the exciting events of tho evening had been fully recounted, re marked: "But, boys, all this doesn't bring little Griffiths back, does it?" Scene at Police Station. And at this remark the men who, a short time before had bravely risked their lives to catch tho murderer, became silent, dropped their eyes and shook their heads sadly. Commanding officers expressed their appreciation of the scp'-control exercised by the policemen and detectives who cap tured AnscJmo. Fjecllng ran high, and many of the men confessed that if they had acted on impulse they would have ended the life of the slayer. But they remembered their duty, and stood by it. It was another demonstration of the de termined manhood which brought about the capture of the young Italian. "It was a great fight, said. Captain Emll Johnson, who headed the posse. "Not a man In. the posse thought of per sonal safety. They were after their man, grlm and determined." He continued: Wo separated at the corner of Fourth South and Fifth West. Ap proaching the place, the first thing I 'heard was the sound of a pan or washtub. Inside the shanty. I made up my mind that our man was get ting ready to move. Wc waited un til the other men. coming up from the front, closed in. Billings turned a light on Anselmo. The first shot cam a Immediately after, It was fol lowed by a scream of pain, and I knew wo had wounded the fugitive. Other shots followed, but I Immediately or doreI tho men to stop firing, be cause T know wo hnd our man. and was afraid that ono of our own party might get in the way of a stray bul let, fighting In the dark as we were. Every man was on tho Job. It was a caso of Anselmo killing all of them or being- captured. I hate to think what the result might have been had It been In daylight, where he could have seen us coming and had an op portunity to fire. It would -probablv have meant that one or two more men might have been killed. But it wouldn t have changed their brav ery any. They were after the Uni on, and they would have gotten him although I don't believe he would have been taken alive. Sho went to the home of her husband s fathor to stay last nlhgt. after the excitement was all over. D. T,. Cook her husband, is a blacksmith in the Den ver & Rio Grande shops. Ho was work ing night shift and had not been told up to a late hour last night of what had happened. The chase began centering round the uncles homo last night shortly before 0 o clock, when Patrolman Richard Bevnon, brother of Mrs. Griffiths, the widow,' tele phoned to headquarters that ho suspected that the man was hiding there. Mr. Bey non was called off the case, as the evi dence of a climax bogan to show and went home at the order of Chief Grant ' After slashing Peter MasI In tho Sham rock saloon, 219 West Second South street, with a razor shortly after 10 o clock yesterday morning, Anselmo ran out tho rear door and into the Milwaukee cafe at 217 West Second South street, by the rear way. He was found there and arrested by Patrol man Griffiths. Mnsl was afraid of An selmo and tried to get tho patrolman to securn him with handcuffs. Italian Broke Away. "I guess he will come along all right," said tho good-natured policeman. Within six feet of the alarm box where the po liceman headed to send In a wagon call, the Italian -broke away. He ran south on First West street for n short distance and then across a vacant lot to the roar yard of the Sweet candy factory, pursued by Patrolman Griffiths and MasI. Near the rear of the factory building. Patrolman Griffiths grappled with the fleeing man, raised his club and said, "Hands up." The Italian broke away and fired as he backed off With deadly ef fect he continued to press the trigger of his revolver. The first bullet struck tho patrolman in the right side between the seventh and olghth ribs, just back of the arm, and ranged upward through the lungs, emerging abov0 the right breast. The second shot inflicted a superficial wound In the left shoulder. Third Shot Fired. The patrolman had fallen forward on hands and kneos. Tho third shot was aimed at the fallon man's head nnd the bullet entered at the top and left, shat tered the left side of the skull and lodged below the left ear. The stricken man collapsed to the ground on his face and rolled partly over. ilarry Rawllngs. shipping clerk or tho Sweet Candy company, had witnessed the killing from tho rear doorway of tho fac tory. He loaned over the patrolman and spoke to him, but only a groan answered. A Touring Salt Lake car was requisi tioned by the quickly gathered crowd and the dying man was taken to the emer gency hospital nt police headquarters, Drs. II, B. Spraguo and R. W. Ashley were In waiting, but the patient died as ho was being1 lifted from tho auto. The body was removed shortly afterward to tho undertaking, rooirm of Ebor W. Trail. Word of the tragedy had been taken to Mrs. Griffiths, and she reached the emer gency hospital bofore the bodv had been removed. She fainted, but revived with in a few minutes, and was taken home. Several Eyewitnesses. There were several eyewitnesses to the shooting. Dolly Jackson, waitress In tho Milwaukee cafe, waa at the rear door of that place Mary Blanchard was in the rear yard, two doors south. Both saw the shooting and their testimony as taken at police headquarters yesterday afternoon was almost Identical and de scribed the killing as above.

OTTAWA, Ont., Juno 25, .Thirteen Scotch and Irish Immigrants arc known to have been killed and more than forty others were seriously Injured when tho Imperial limited of the Canadian Pacific railroad was wrecked three miles ea3t of here today. Several persons arc miss ing and it is believed they are in the wreckage of the train, part of which was burned. Nearly all of the ucai were Scotch and Irish immigrants who were on their way to the Canadian northwest. Railroad officials said tonight the ac cident was caused by tho spreading of the rails at a point which was being re paired. The track gang hnd neglected to set n caution signal and the engineer of the train, which is ono of the fastest on the Canadian Pacific, was running about fifty miles an hour when he struck ihe weakened track. The engine and five cars rolled down an embankment and Into the river. Nearly all of tho known dead were drowned, whjlc many wero Injured in the cars which plied up along the bank of the river. Several persons showed great heroism in saving tho lives of those thrown into the river and of others beneath the wreckage. One of these was a Mrs. MacFnrlane, a Scotch Immigrant. She saved the lives of hor two younger sis ters by keeping them afloat In tho river until aid could reach them. After be ing taken ashore, Mrs, MacFarlane aided in caring for the injured.

Running across the street, he went into the block and stopped behind a tent near the barn of the Clover Leaf dairy. There he was seen to reload his gun and later he continued through the block southwest to Second West street, where he took off his coat and saun tered away south. Father Shadowed. Frank Anselmo, father of the slayer, was taken to police headquarters short ly after the search of the Anselmo home and questioned. Later he was released. Patrolman Trip, attired as a laborer, fol lowed the father all afternoon and even ing in the hope that he would visit his sons hiding place. Word was telephoned to police headquarters shortly after the capture last night by former Police Cap tain John Hompel that tho elder Anselmo had been trying to reach a railroad sta tion without being seen. It waa thought that his intention was to buy a ticket for his son. The search for witnesses of tho murder of Patrolman Griffiths was rewarded with a degree of success that has followed few similar searches during the last few years. As soon as tho alarm was sound ed, a detail of policemen began a search of the vicinity for those who had seen the deadly assault. Among those whose statements have been taken by the police are Kenneth Russell, 221 West Second South street, adjoining the Shamrock saloon, where tho arrest was made, and Mary Blanch ard of the same address, each of whom saw the arrest. Their statements are similar in detail. Witnessed Shooting. Others are IT. G Goddard, W. A.

These men saw tho policeman take the prisoner to tho box; they saw Griffiths ring the box; and they saw Ansolmo jerk lose from the policeman's grasp, draw a pis tol nnd fire three shots. Georgo Tinkey, Italian, was arrested within a few minutes after the shoot ing while he was changing his clothing in nn unoccupied barn near Third West and Second South streets. The arrest was made by Patrolman W. E. Jukes. Tinkey was taken to police headquar ters. He was later released. Eighth Officer Killed.

On June 12, 1!)07. he was appointed a. patrolman and on Fobruary 14, 191.1, he was promoted from second grade to first grade, a promotion that he well merited. Ho was a fearless, faithful officer and everybody who knew "Tommy" Grif fiths, as ho was called, loved him. He was always genial and kind, and would go out of his way to do one a favor. For many months he was on dutv in what Is known as Greektown, and "was counted one of. the most competent mem bers of tho department because of the fact that he always displayed rare good judgment when trouble occurred in that turbulent section of the city He made arrests only when necessary, and tho number of private quarrels he has set tled without resorting to the strong arm of the law, will never be known. Tic knew everybody on the west side and everybody knew him, and loved him for his gentle ways He looked on tho bright side of things and It can truly be said that the world was made better by his having lived in It.

TIiopc four would be chosen by per mitting the directors of each of the twelve regional reserve banks to nomi nate ono man, and from the total twelve the prosident would be em powered to select four. Tho bankers virtually wcre in ac cord on tho idea of increasing tho amount of federal reserve treasury notes above $500,000,000, of placing no limit on tho issue and retiring tho $712,000,000 of currency now secured by 2 per cent bonds within a period ot scvoral vears by refunding tho 2 per cent wih ' per cent bonds, having no circulation privileges.
