NUMBER 21 IxiJIii McGill Has Abo Even Chance of Re covery From Woynd Condition of Dangerously Wounded Police Officer is as Favorable as Could be Expected and He May Recover. NEGROES WERE ARRESTED IN FAYETTEVILLE BY LOCAL OFFI. CERS AND TAKEN TO RALEIGH Policeman Vance. McGill Was Shot Through Stomach and Policeman Boyle Slightly Wounded When Negro Bootleggers Were Halted Early Saturday Morning Story of the Shooting. At 2:30 this afternoon Djr. N. A. Thompson of the Thompson hospital stated that the condition of Police man Vance McGill was as favorable as could be expected and that he stands about an even chance of re covery. He is desperately wounded and will have a stiff fight for his life. Policeman Vance McGill was shot and dangerously wounded and Police man J. B. Boyle was shot in the left , , arm below the elbow by some negroes r about 5 o'clock, Sat"1"' .- -""? The negroes gave their names aT James Grice, James Wells, Bennie Rogers and Spencer James when.' ar rested in Fayetteville a few hours after the shooting. The shooting1 took place on Elm street in front ' the municipal building as the officers were removing some whiskey from the 5-passenger Velie auto in which the negroes were riding. James Wells, the negro who is thought to have fired the shots that struck the officers, was struck in the hip by a bullet from the pistol of Officer Mc Gill, who fired five shots at the negroes after he was shot. Two bul lets struck Policeman McGill, one en tering his abdomen, penetrating his intestines in three places and lodging in his hipNbone, the second passing through his left arm, but failing to strike the bone. How the Shooting Took Place. The negroea had been riding around town for some time, arousing the suspicion of the officers, according to Policeman Boyle. They werepassing the municipal bvjldjng whenJtfeSWTTi. cers decided. to halt them and learn why they were riding about town at that hour. Officer Boyle hailed the negroes and they stopped the car and when he went UP to the car the driver asked him where the iron bridge was, stating that they had been looking for it for some time and wanted to get out f town. Mr. Boyle says he peep ed through the curtain on the east side of the car and saw a glass fruit jar. He then asked the negroes what they had in the jar and they replied "nothing." He picked the jar up and upon opening it found that it contain ed whiskey. He then noticed some tin cans in the car and examined them, learning that they also con tained whiskey. At that time Police, man McGill came up to the car on the west side and handed him a flash light, and holding his pistol in one hand. Mr. Boyle says that he then heard the report of a gun, two shots being firecj. He pushed the flash-light into the car to try to learn what was going on. He thought Officer McGill had fired at one of the negroes, who might have made a brake to run. When he pushed his hand through the curtain with the flash light he was shot in the arm. The car was dark, all the curtains being placed and fast ened around the car. He was afraid to shoot across the car, thinking he might strike Officer McGill, and heU in the rear of the office. It is did not fire his gun. Wounded Officers Rushed to Hospital WherT the. firing started the car started immediately, according to Policeman Boyle, it being headed' up north Elm.Firemen Ed. J. Glover and Raymond Musselwhite were sleeping I rt -Via m (i r- nf tho firo etatirtn anrl ! -when they heard the shooting they ran out with their guns, but the car was moving up Elm street at a rapid rate of speed. The wounded officers were placed upon one of the fire trucks and Mr. Glover rushed them to the Thompson hospital, while Mr. Musselwhite used the telephone in ad. vising other officers of what had happened. Negroes Caught In Fayetteville. In a short time Chief of Police D. M. Barker and Mr. Ed J. Glover were in an auto in pursuit of the fleeing negroes. Deputy Sheriff A. H. Pre vatt and Rural Policeman A. R. Pitt man also left in pursuit of the negroes. It was not long before a possee of some twenty-five armed men were on the road following the negToes. They were overtaken in Fayetteville. Wrhen Officers Barker and Glover reached Fayetteville they soon learned that a car answering the description of the one used by the negroes had been carried to a garage in the suburbs of Fayetteville a short time before for some repairs. They learned that a man who had been shot and who went to Fayetteville on this car had been taken to the home of a colored man, about '8 miles in the country One of the negroes was sit ting in the car, which was .standing in the garage, two. were walking about and the fourth was found in bed at the home of the colored man. It was only a short tima before the four neeroes were under Crrest and the Convict Escapes .

The Fayetteville police force and the Cumberland county officials as sisted the Lumberton posse in round ing up the four negroes. Officers started to return to Lumberton with the prisoners, but were adyised by county attorney E. J. Britt when about four miles from town to carry them to Raleigh. While a large crowd had gathered about " the jail awaiting the arrival of the prisoners, there was no indication of mob vio lence had the negroes been brought here. Some of the officers thought, however, that it would be best to car. ry the prisoners to Raleigh. Whiskey Removed From Auto. Three gallons and one quart of whiskey were removed from the auto by the officers before they were shot. Three gallons were in one-gallon tiiM cans and the quart was in a fruit jar. Many. Versions of The Shooting. Many reports were current about town relative to the. shoooting, practically every man .oije met having a version all his own and different from anybody else's. Fearless and Efficient -Officers. The bullet which penetrated Police man McGill's abdomen was located by the use of an x-ray, but was not re moved. Policeman Boyle has been on the local police force for about 8 years, having served on the police force at Maxton before coming to Lumberton. Policeman McGill had been a mem ber of the force for 'about two years. Both officers are known to be fear less in the discharge of their duties and the unfortunate affair brought regret to their many friends here. Both the officers are are unmarried. Two bullets fired during the shoot ing passed through the plateglass door to the office of Town Clerk and Treasurer J. P. Russell and struck the thought that these bulleta were fired by Policeman McGill. Streets Covered With Blood. The streets and side-walk in front of the municipal building were cover ed with blood, the wounded officers bleeding profusely. The car driven by the negroes was brought from Fayetteville to Lum berton by Messrs. A. P. Page and Wil bur Leggett. The wounded negro bled considerabry, the rear seat upon which he was riding being smeared with blood. Four bullets passed through the side curtains of the car and two holes -that would answer for bullet holes are in the top. A 38 Smith & Wesson pistol was found in a pocket on a door in the rear of the auto. One story that went the rounds Sat urday was that only 2 of the negroes were in the car when it stopped in front of the municipal building and the other two negroes came upon the officers unaware and did the 'shooting. All the negroes were in the car and did not get out, according to Police man Boyle. The negro who did the shooting was on the front seat and climbed to the rear of the car. Many people viewed the scene of the shooting Saturday and yesterday. Deputy Sheriff A. H. Prevatt, Rural Policeman A. R. Pittman, Chief of Police "D. M Barker and Messrs. D. W. Biggs. R. H. Critchton, F. A. Wis hart and F. Eli Wishart carried the prisoners to- Raleigh. The negroes were placed in the State prison about 8 o'clock Saturday evening, according to the officers.

There was provocation enough and to spare. Were not some of the town's best known citizens, some of them ordin arily sedate and dignified but too wise to be fearful of putting themselves on exhibition once in so often, wise enough to permit themselves "the glorious luxury of being utterly silly now and then", dressed as they had never dared hope to be dressed in this world, gloriously and wonderfully ar rayed in feminine apparel, and per mitted to walk with stretched-rforth neck and haughty mein, or with mincing steps and a come-hither air, And thfte before the assembled multi tude 'to cut such capers as in every day life they would not dream of cut. ting? It was even so and while they did thus the audience gasped for breath and was entirely happy. Orderly to begin at the beginning- for it was a most orderly "wedding" the first thing on the program was a solo by Miss Mabel Boyd of High Point, a guest at the home of her brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Boyd, who sang "Until." That was not a part of the rollick ing fun: it was pure delight. Uncon fined mirth held sway thereafter when Knox Proctor, blacked for the part of butjer, landed with both feet on the stage and began to tell 'em. Never did butler buttle with more of unction and understanding spirit then he. Announced by him, distingushed guests now began to arrive, entering the front doors and marching the length of the hall down the two aisles, each according to his counterfeit presentment: Norma Talmadge Dr. D.

Then Schuman Heink sang "Mary, a Pal of Mine" to a fare-you-well, Mary Pickford ap peared in the role of songbird, render ing "In Love's Nest" so you wanted to nestle there, and Galli Curci sang, Oh, so beautifully! "I Love You Tru- lv." As 'the crowd gazed upon the slender form of Charles Boyd as he preened and posed and stretched his mouth while the volumn of entranc- ingly sweet music rose, still the won der grew that he could do it so pat, and switched if he did not accept the ready plaudits of the delighted throng with as much satisfied nonchalance as ! if Mrs. Boyd had not been behind j the piano sing but that would be 'telling. ) Now Carrie Nation braced out to I the front and began one of .her har- i ranges.
