GREAT CROWD WAITS IN FRONT OF PRIGON. During the execution a crowd of 2,000 men, women and children stood in front of the prison im @ hard rain, but ge sound of what was happening in- eide reached them. After the execution the Rev, Johnson gave out a statement as a Fesuit of @ conference with Richoson end with the latter's permission, in which he said Richeson had suffered feat one collapse while in prison, That dalowed the announcement that his Lu Montinued on Second Pegs) Meemen had to retreat, and in the end Amundsen went down, had himself to be rescued and was only revived by means of artificial respiration admin- fatered in the street. Koch and Amuidsen started to chase several young tougshs who were making trouble on One Hundred and Twenty- elghth street between Second and Third avenues shortly before 1 o'clock. As Second avenue was reached cries of re!” arose and !n an instant flames burst from windows on th window except those on the seconcSioor People were crying for help. Patrolman Koch realized that on the fecond floor the residents must ha reome, the very they had been chasing, Koch and Amunsden rushed up the stairs. At the hallway of the second floor they were met by a sheet tron fire door that was locked, The policemen threw them- selves on it, but it would not budge. The gangsters added thelr shoulders to the door, With a crash the door fell in and the rescuers upon it, Flames shot out over the men struggling in a heap on the floor, On up the stairs the flames went and met the familles who were now hury- ing down and arove tnem back to seek & new Way lo safety by the roof, CREPT THROUGH THE SMOKE TO REE VE THEM. A faint cry from an apartment on the burning second floor was heard. Koch, on his hands and Knees, crept along the corridor to @ reas room, whence the ery had come. Amunsden lay on the floor beneath the flames. Some of the gang lay on the stalra, others stood tn Iino below, as Koch and Amunsden oniered, Koch groped his way until he ca: to Mrs, Amelia Carlson, forty-fivi widow, lying on the floor unconsctous with her three-year-old daughter Jen- nie in her arms, He dragged the mother and child along until Amuneden could reach them and pull them along to the nearest of the gangsters, who passed ‘hem down the stairs and out into the street. It was the cry of the child that had been heard Meanwhile Policeman Martin, of the same station, had sent in an alarm and was helping families es roofs, Some tried to get down by the front fire escape bu: the flames trom| the windows beneath converted the es-| oragsing: pe into @ veritable gri!! and drove ack to the roof, Having left Mra. Carlson with Amund sen, Koch crept back and {n another room in the rear found Oscer Wator- man, thirty-six, a boarder with the Carlsons, and dragged him elong un- de the to Amunaden, Waterman's nightshirt was afire and he was badly burned, Amunaden and the gangaters beat out the flumos and m1 him out, By that time the smoke and heat hat become #o intense that neither Kooh or Amunsden could tear It, One of them got a pedl of water and the pollce- men eoused their faces, Then Koch knelt down once more and arept back again into the burning apartment.
