Moller, who was wanted for the shooting of Hans Jenson fu Ala- meda last Saturday aight, fired a bullet into his brain tonight. His death ended a man hunt in which the custodians of | Alameda County’s peace had beem en- | sagea for three days. é The tragedy took place on Sixty-first street, near San Pablo 2 o'clock.

Chief Vollmer en- countered Moller walking northward on San Pablo avenue, near Sixty-first street. “I want you, old man,” said the Chief. “Who are you?" asked Moller. “I am Vollmer,” the Chief replied. Moller turned and ran, shouting. “Don’t come near or I'l kill you and myself too.” As the hunted man fled eastward on | Sixty-first street he drew a revolver. Vollmer, who was in pursuit. shouted, “Stop, or I will have to shoot you." VOLLMER OPENS FIRE The Chief fired three times over the fugitive’s head and then aimed low, firing two shots as Moller turned as if to give battle. One of the bullets struck Moller in the left leg near the ankle and it is presumed that he then thrust the muzzle of his own weapon into his right ear and pulled the trig- ger. One shell in the cylinder of his revolver was empty. In Moller's pockets were found a box of cartridges and a rambling statement, dated today, giving a disconnected ac- count of the shooting at his home in Alameda last Saturday night. He blamed his sister-in-law, Mrs. Peirce, for the trouble and claimed that the me shooting of Hans Jenson was acci- dental. The police believe that Moller in- tended to kill Thompson. who was his landlord, and himself at the rendezvous tonight. The killing of Jenson was the sequel to an affray in the Moller home, Jenson having interfered to save Moller's wife from a beating at his hands.
