AL STOLEN BY BUFFALD BANDIS Three Guards and. Policoman Shot and Wounded ROBBERS ARE STILL FREE Three Hold-Up Mon Pillage Taxicab Carrying Registered Articies Be- tween Railroad Stations—Value of Loot Not Yet Dotermined. Buftalo, N. Y, Oct. 15 (M—Three bandits, who held up a taxicab, in which registered mall was being transferred between rallroad stations last night, were at large today, They shot and wounded three guards and & policeman and fled in an auto- moblle with several sacka of the mail. The value of their loot was undetermined but police did not be- lieve it was very large. Search S An intensive search was started throughout western New York and a special watch set on the border to keep the bandits from escaping into Canada. One of the mail clerks, Ward Mc- Cartney, 32, of Elkhart, Ind, re- celved three bulléts in his body. Vincent Connors, a motorcycle pa- trolman, was shot five times when he attempted to halt the bandits’ jcar. The other guards were Francis E. Lieber, a Pullman porter, shot in one side, and Charles J. Kava- :naugh, a railroad detective, shot in one Knee. Loaded With Mall The taxicab loaded with mail, which is transferred under a con- tract system, had just left the Dela- ware, Lackawana and Western railroad station bound for the New York Central station where the mail was to have been placed on the Twentleth Century Limited. As the taxicab halted at a traffic intersection the dandit car drew alongside. The two men In the front seat waved revolvers at the guard¥ and ordered *Stick 'em up." The third bandit, in the rear seat, held a sawed off shotgun. The guards, disobeying the command, reached for their guns and the bandits pour- ed a hail of lead into the taxi. Push Body Aside One of them then jumped to the running board of the taxi and, pushing aside the body of McCart- ney, who had collapsed over the sacks, threw several into the ton- neap of his automobile. Several sacks lying on the floor of the taxi under McCartney's body were over- looked. The traffic light had changed to green in the meantime and the ban- dits sped away down the street. Connor, attracted by the shots, was knocked from his motorcycle at the first volley from the escaping ban- dits, who then pumped several more shots into his body as they sped past. Lieber and Kavanaugh exchanged shots with the bandits but so far as known none of them took effect. Lose Trail The bandit car sped eastward from the scene of the shooting but one answering its description later was seen in the north part of town headed for Niagara Falls, running past signal lights and traffic police- men. The trail was lost before the bandits got outside the city. POINTS LOADED GUN AT THE “WRONG' NAN Father and Son Arrested in Strange Domestic Tangle Rushing up to an automobile near the corner of Glen street and Rock- well avenue, about 11:30 o'clock last night, Walter Hutengs, aged 23, of 23 Rockwell avenue, brandished a loaded revolver at T. J. Vail of 1163 Broad street, Hartford, who was sit- ting in the car, and ordered him to “Drive on or I'll blow your brains out.” Vail, who is a member of the Hartford fire department, complied with the order but when he had gone around the corner with the gunman on the running board, the latter stepped off and told him he bad made a mistake and Vail was not the man he wanted. Vail reported the incident to the police .and Officers John O'Brien, Otis Hopkins and William Grabeck investigated. Vail identified Hutengs as the gunman but the police were unable to find the revolver. They found five bullets in possession of Henry Hutengs, aged 43, who is ‘Walter's father, and during the in- vestigation which followed, and in which Bergeant J. C. Btadler took part, it was learned that the father bhad taken the revolver out of his son's pocket, fearing the son would shoot his mother.

The spectators, for the most part, did not recognize the fliers and they entered automobiles and were whisked up Broadway to city hall. Seymour P. Danzig, representing Mayor Walker, and Mayor Burt M. Allen, of Rockford, boarded the liner at quarantine and accompan- ied them to the liner's dock at Ho- boken. There they went aboard the reception bout and were greeted by a group of Rockford citizens. Hassell was crippled in both legs from frost bite and Cramer’'s hands |bore more than a score of scars from the bites of Greenland mosqui- toes. But in the joy of the home- coming and greeting old friends, they forgot their handicaps. They reiterated their intention of making another attempt next spring, provided they get financial backing, to establish an air route to Europe via Greenland and Iceland. They said they regard this as the most feasible, safe and economical air route, Hassell recalled that they had caten 7% pounds of pemmican and had but two pounds left, when they made their fire on a mountainside one afternoon. This fire was scen by hunters. Their rescuers braved the storm whipped waves of an eight miles river in a small boat. This river, the Sondre Stonfjord, they later followed with Professor W. H. Hobbs, of the Michigan expedition to the mouth, where their ship struck a reef and sank. Esquimos conveyed them to Godthaab where they trans- shipped for Copenhagen. Mrs. Hassell and two of her chil- dren, John, 5 years old, and Victor, three, joined the fliers at Halifax. Among those who met them on the Manhattan were Mrs. Fannie Cramer of Clarion, Pa., mother of the flier, and his sister, Mrs. H. N.
