Arriving there, he found his strength failing, Tyt he was able to wait several minutes while Lieutenant Bamforth felephoned vainly for physicians. The lieutenant had the ofticer taken ¢ 10 the hospital in O'Mearn’s car, and | word of the shooting was flashed to the patrolmen in all parts of the wity. Chiet W. C. Hart, Detective Sergeant W. P.

Wild Rumors Circulated I On learning the details of the shooting from the officer, Detective Sergeant McCue communicated with headqu: s and had Detective Ser- geant Ellinger and Sergeant Mec- Avay of the detective bureau sum- moned for duty. The story of the shooting had spread about the city was being exaggerated as the One report was r Doty had been shot by ho drove past him on Another story was had been killed while mak- Several of r reports lation and a large crowd side the police statlon re on duty until early morning running down clues, left their assignment with the man at large.

Rapping on the dewalk for assistance, the officer gave and as Officers George | Collins and William J.

He as kept at police headquarters until after midnight but proved an alibi so perfect the police are satisfied he had no connection with the shooting. His detention was reported about the city with such speed that the crowd about police headquarters was doubled within a few minutes. Cannot Break Alibi Throughout the grilling, however, he insisted that he had been at the Strand theater between § and 10:00 o'clock. Two policemen supported him in this declaration, as they had seen him entering and leaving, and ang man named Conway, who with him, was brought to the ion and verified the state- . Vidutis said he ran because he feared Officer McCarthy would arrest him for being between the buildings. He said it was necessary way be- chas: resiste 2bout |for him to go there. Faced by Officer Doty's father, who accused him of having made a disparaging declaration concerning the officer's connection with the raid at his store at 28 Franklin street| Tuesday afternoon, Vidutis ~ denied the truth of the report. Mr. Doty, however, said he recalled it very dis- tinetly. Vidutis, he said, told him he did not think much of the offi- cer for turning in information con- .cerning the alleged sale of liquor in the store, after he had treated the officer to “smokes” nunterous times. According to the police, the officer's father said Vidutis told him he would “get even” with the officer. Vidutis was discharged by Judge Hungerford vesterday morning be- cause the state failed to prove two counts of liquor law violation. Officer Doty, who was said to have had in- formation that would have had an important bearing in the case, was not called to testify, through a mis- understanding. Asked if he thought Vidutis was the gunman, Officer Doty said he positive he was not. He was certain he could recognize Vi- dutis, having seen him numerous times.

C. \\an(‘rufil heard that the threat had been| made, he reported to Sergeant )lc»z Cue, who went to the man's home last night but failed to find him. It| is said the man was in another city. Officer Doty said, however, that the | man in question did not resemble | the gunrman. Sergeant McCue said today that| Officer Walinczus had reported that the man had told an acquantance he was going to get his revolver ready and “shoot McCue.” It was pointed out today that Supernum- erary Officer James McCue, son of Sergeant McCue, was on the FElm strect beat for a few nights this week, Officer Doty having been filling n on the motorcycle during the absence of Officer E. B. Kiely, and it is possible that the gunman mistook Officer Doty for McCue, the theory being that he did Aot know Sergeant McCue from his son and | Officer Doty. The police are in- clined to believe that the gunman is a stranger in the city, because | several men who saw him last night said they had never seen him before. That he was imported to do the shooting is possible, Scen Earlier in Evening John Quilty, Jr., and his brother, James Quilty, told the police they saw the fellow in the rear of the building earlier in the evening, and Jehn Gabrauas of 17 Dwight street, who is a chef in a restaurant near- Ly, said he saw a stranger wearing light ciothes, about the neighbor- hecod prior to the shooting. John Quilty, Jr. was at the police sta- tion last night and was positive that Vidutis was not the man he saw Vidutis was lined up with three or four young men taken from the crowd ouside the police station, and Quilty said rone answered the description of the gunman. The Quilty family, attracted by the revolver reports in their rear | yard, went out on the rear veranda | and a shot fired by the gunman struck the brick wall so close, to them that mortar dust was scattered all about them. Sergeants O'Mara and McAvay were on the scene of | the shooting this morning but falled to find anything that would help in the gunman. They interviewed the Quilty family and others. The fire department searchlight | was used by Detective Sergeant El- | linger and other policemen in Ken- | nedy's ‘auto parts establishment at| the corner of East Main and Stanley | streets last night, the police sus- pecting that the gunman might be hiding there until the chance to run into the open presented itself. They failed to find any trace of him.
