Slim Anderson, the Landlt, and caused wounds to Policeman Will f." an gum from which his recovery was tcnight regarded uncertain. Anderson was shot down by a volley of Are from police guns after he had punctured Mangum's abdo men with a ball from his own plslol when officers sought his. capture fol lowing a bold robbery of a man's clothing store in the heart of the business district shortly after noon. Tbe bandit died in a hospital it 5:30 o'clock after having given di rections to the county coroner as to where his body should be sent. The policeman was resting well at the hos pital tonight, but definite Information as to his condition awaited the com pletion of an X-ray examination. Search For Woman A woman, who caUed at the under taking establishment and placed a wreath on Anderaon's body shortly af ter his death, was being sought by the police, who believe she was a compan ion. The police were also looking for i. r., -1 who fled across an open square during the battle between the bandit and o.ficers. A Packard automobile in which Anderson came to Raleigh two da;, s rgo was being held at police headquarters. The gun battle which caused the bandits death and Mangum's serious wounds, followed a chase of three blocks In which many people partici pated and which came near causing another casualty when Anderson, pres sed, fired on his assailants and the ball grazed tbe left ankle of Cleveland Gill, young garage man. After making the change of clothes, Anderson asked the price, and then reached toward hie hip pocket appar ently for his wallet. Instead, he whip ped out an automatic pistol and order ed Holding and two clerks to back off. He pushed them to the rear of the store and stepped over to the cash res isted. Finding himself unable to open it. he called for Holding, and the pro prietor did the Job. The bandit gath ered up paper and silver money to the amount of about $47. Shoots Policeman With the warning that if anyone left the store in 15 minutes he would kill him, Anderson backed out the door and ran. Holding started after him Imme diately, calling for help as he ran. Soon a considerable crowd joined in the chase, which led three blocks to the new Professional building at Hhr gett and McDowell streets, just being put into condition for occupancy. The crowd pressing him, the bandit ran Into the building and down Into the basement, but evidently not satis fied with his position, he came to the street up a rear stairway, meeting at the entranoe the crowd of pursuers, into which he fired his first shot. Running another block, he sought to escape pursuit by hiding In the base ment of a dwelling house, located next door to the Raleigh hotel. Policemen were soon on his trail, however, and presently he was seen to emerge through a small door, holding his pis tol menacingly. Policeman Mangum faoed him as he approached. "Drop it," demanded the officer, pointing to his gun. "Drop it, hell" he replied, "you've got me cornered, but if you get me I'll get one of you first.* With that he fired, the ball penetrat ing Mangum's abdomen. Mangum fell, but managed to join three other police men standing back of him in releasing a volley of shots at the bandit, firing. Officer Dantelly said, "until we saw his gun drop to his side." Nearby automobiles were pressed in to service, and both men rushed at once to Rex hospital. Anderson did not lose consciousness until a few minutes before his death, and gave Rev. C. L. Hudson, a Baptist minister, his name as "811m" Ander son, and his address as Memphis, Teun. He told the minister he had no par ents or any dther relatives to whom he wished his body sent, but later he ad vised Coroner L. M. Waring o{^ rela tives who would claim it.
