One of Whom Is a Young: Boy, and Is

Falling with a Bullet in His Breast

the Corpse with
Bullets.
New-Orleans, July 2S.Aftera desper
ate battle lasting for several hours, in
which he succeeded In killing Ser
geant Gabriel Porteau; Andy Van Kur
eni, keeper of the ollc-e jail, and Al
fred J. B. Bloomfield, a young boy,
and fatally wounding Corporal John
F. Lally. John Banville, ex-Policeman
Frank H. Evans and A. S. Loclere. one
of the leading confectioners of the
city, and more or less seriously wound
ing several other persons, the negro
desperado, Robert Charles, who killed
Captain Day aud Patrolman Lamb and
badly wounded Officer Mora, was
smoked out of his hiding place in the
heart of the residence section of the
city yesterday afternoon and literally
shot to pieces.
How the Desperado Wai Found.
Sergeant CJabe Porteau. one of the
best known officers on the force, and
Sergeant John F. Lally, who has a fine
record for bravery, were informed dur
ing the day by a negro that Charles
was in hiding in a house on Clio, near
Saratoga street. Determining to take
him alive if possible the officers sum
moned a number of patrolmen to their
assistance aud went to the house where
Charles was supposed to be In conceal
ment. The negro informant of the po
licemen accompanied theoffieers. They
entered tne side alley of the house and
were surprised in practically the same
way as were Day and Lamb.
Open with ilia Murderous Gun
Before the officers were aware of
their danger Charles, who was hidden
behind a screen on the second floor
of the building, raised his Winchester
and began a furious but accurate Are.
Lally fell with a bullet in the right
side of the abdomen. Porteau was
shot through the head and dropped
dead across the body of Lally. The
other officers and the negro fled from
the scene. Hurry calls were sent to
the mayor and the chief of police for
help. In the meantime Father Fitz
gerald, of St. John's church, was sum
moned to administer extreme unction
to the police officers who were lying
In the alley. The priest responded
promptly, and he was annointlng the
body of Porteau with Alfred O. Bloom
field, a young boy. standing by his
side, when Charles again appeared at
the window.
Cruel and Wanton Crime.
The lad saw him at once and begged
the desperado not to shoot him. Charles
immediately fired his Winchester again
and Bloomfield fell dead. The prtt-rt.
unhurt, left the scene after pluekily
performing the last offices for the dead
officer. At this time the ambulance
arrived and two men volunteered to
go into the allej and bring out the
body of Lally. Tl"y entered, and while
they were attempting to take the body
of the dead officer from that of his col
league Charles fired again. The men
nevertheless got Lally's body out of
the alley and afterward took Porteau's
body out also.
FIRE APPLIED TO HIS LAIR.
Before Which the Fiend Doe Fearful
Work with Hit Rifle.
In the meantime schemes were set
on foot to get Charles out of the
building. Charles, however, did not
propose to be captured without sell
ing his life dearly. Time after time he
came to the window and as men. one
by one, entered the alley he blazed
away at them. In this manner Con
fectioner Loclere, who was oue of the
special police snuad, ex-Policeman
Evans, John Banville and George H
Lyons, son of the head of a big drug
establishment, were wounded. At this
time the extra police began to tire at
the negro and he returned their fire.
Andy Van Kurem, keeper of the po
lice jail, got a bullet in the body and
fell dead. Just afterward II. II. Batt.
aged Co, working for the Mutual Be
nevolent association, which does bust
ness In this vicinity, was hit and mor
tally wounded. About the same time
Frank Bertucci received a shot In the
left shoulder and J. W. Bofll one in the
right baud. Ultimately It was decided
that the only way to get Charles was
to burn the building in which he was
entrenched. There were, however,
some scruples alout resorting to thi9
method of getting him, owing to the
section in which tne house was situ
ate.1. being densely populated, but
while the authorities were talking
same one set the building in flames.
So fiercely did the fire burn that it
became evident that no human being
could live In the building and picked
men from the police special squad and
anhliers stationed themselves about the
building In order to pick off the des
perado as he attempted to leave the
house. A young soiaier namea Auoipn
Anderson, a member of the Thirteenth
company of state militia, was one of
the first to see tnanes as ne ran aown
the steps leading to the second story,
Charles ran across the yard and enter
d the second room. He fired several
times at Anderson, and the latter, who
was armed with a Winchester rifle,
-shot the negro In the breast and he
fell and died soon afterward.
IHKN APPEARS THE FRANTIC MOB
Like Rarbarimna Its Members Mutilate the
Dead Body.
As soon as the negro fell numbers of
people armed with Winchesters and
revolvers rushed In and fired Into the
body, until It was literally shot to
pieces. After It was certain that he
was dead the mob entered the yard
and dragged the body into the street.
There the police and the mob emptied
their revolver into it, while a son of
one of the murdered men rushed up
end stamped the face beyond recogni
tion. There were then loud howls that
the body should be taken to a vacant
square In the vicinity and publicly
borned. At this Instant, however, a
llsr gouad of iwdiee dashed up in a
patrol wagon. There were thousands
f eoDle eonsreirated In the vicinity
nd it seemed as if there might be a
clash between the officers and the moo,
The nolice. however. DUShed the
crowd aside, picked up the body and
threw It into the patrol wagon. The
driver whipped up his horses and the
wagon started off with 5.000 people
running after it and clamoring for the
cremation of the body. The wagon
ultimately made Its way In safety to
police headquarters. There an Immense
crowd had gathered and great diffi
culty, was experienced in takinz the
s I
into the morgue. When Charles' body
was stripped It was found to have be1
literally riddled from head to foot by
the bullets fired into it.
Shortly after the body of Charles
had been taken away, a report spread
that there were still some negroes in
the burning building. The square was
again quickly - surrounded by picked
men and under guard of men with
Winchesters a special squad made it3
way Into the building. In a room
which the fire had not yet reached
three negroes were found dressed In
women's clothes. They were hustled
out and immediately sent to prison in
a patrol wagon. Subsequently a fourth
negro, a mulatto, was discovered in
the building. He made a desperate
resistance against being arrested and
while in the hands of the police was
killed by a shot fired from a pistol in
the hands of one of the ; disorderly
mob that had congregated in the vi
cinity. Just about the time Charles body
reached the morgne the body of an un
known negro who had been shot and
Btabbed to death on Gallatin Btrect
was carried in. The negro was a
victim of a murderous white mob.

Cho'era Hnd Diarrhoea Remedy. We
bhve Known and u-ed this mrd cin in
our family for twenty years and have
always found it reliable. In tuttnv ca

Sufferers from llii- nori ,.i.r malady
nearly always inherit it n-.t nceaar.ly
from the parents, but may 1 from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in tbe blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap
pearance or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood every vestage
of it driven out. This S. S. S. does, aud
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like tkis.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer beginsoften in a small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows:
A Kiuall pimple came on my law shout an Inch
