A., in pursuit of a deserter at Thirty-eighth Street and Broadway, at 1 o'clock this after- noon, drew his .44 calibre revolver and with no thought of the crowded een- dition of the streets fired four shots at the fugitives feet. The bullets bounced in all diféetions, “Brel Aue} atone pavement and one of them struck in the abdomen and seriously wounded George Poderls of No. 24 Cherry Street, a blind shoe-stfing peddier, who was standing at the corner. The deserter was Joseph Fleisch- a private in Company H, Twenty-seventh Infantry, who left his command two months ago. Broke and hungty, he gave himself up at 9 o'clock this morning at the West Thirty-seventh Street Police Station, and notification was sent by the police to Governor's Island. Sergt. Wettingfeld was sent over to get Fleischmann and escort him to Castle William, the military prison for this department. Inasmuch as Fleischmann had voluntarily given himself up Sergt.

He run north in Sixth Avenue to Thirty-eighth Street and there turned west. At Broadway Sergeant Wettingfeld was right behind him and yelled at him to stop. Flelschmann put on more speed. Then tbe officer drew bis revolver and began to bombard the aldewalk. Fleischmann stopped and Wetting- feld grabbed him, The blind shoe string peddler on the corner dropped and a crowd which had been at- tracted by the chase and the shots stepped all’ ovér him. Policeman Tetaner of the West Thirty-seventh Street Station charged into the mob and took charge of Fleischmann and Sergeant Wettingfeld. In a couple of minutes there were thousands of people swarming about the policeman and the two soldiers, Tetzner blew his police whistle, and as if it were a signal dozens of citl- zens pulled out police whistles and blew them, This served to further excite and augment the crowd. Finally two policemen galloped up and went to Tetzner’s assistance, Not until then was It discovered that the blind shoestring peddier had been shot. ' He was hastily placed.in an automo- | bile and with one of the policemen | gitting with the chauffeur was rushed to Bellevue. Sergt. Wettingfield and Fleischmann were taken to the West Thirtieth Street Station and Headquarters was appealed to for a decision on what to do with the army officer who had opened a bombardment on one of the busiest of Broadway cofners. ‘The authorities decided Sergt.
