This photograph takes in only 100 Police, Aided by Citizens, Hunt Radio Burglar as Fourth Victim Is Wounded By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April &.—Citizen volunteers and more than 100 police- men, all heavily armed and carrying lanterns, torches and flashlights, searched unsuccessfully in Queens early today for the elusive ‘radio burglar” after he had shot the fourth policeman since he began his depre- dations two months ago. During the two months the burglar has stolen approximately 150 sets, al- ways choosing the smost expensive ones he could find. Detective Charles McCarthy, one of the scores of police- men who have been on guard for the man in recent weeks, was the burg- lar-gunman’'s fourth victim. He was shot shortly after midnight after he went with two other detectives to the home of a woman who had tele- phoned the police that she believed she had heard a burglar in her home. As the detectives neared the house they saw a man walking away hur- riedly,. When the police started to question him he fired three shots. McCarthy fell with a bullet wound in his neck. The two other detectives fired a dozen shots at the fugitive, but he escaped through a dark alley. Policeman Arthur Kenny, who was shot by the burglar early on the morning of March 25 in the Wood- haven section of Queens, where to- day’s shooting occurred, is in a serl- ous condition in a local hospital, and 50 policemen have volunteered their blood to save his life. Both Kenny and Policeman Frank Donnelly, who was shot at the same time, also were wounded in the neck. Five weeks ago another policeman was shot by the burglar. s DR. BLUM TO GET MEDAL.'
