Assassins Barricade Themselves

POLICE FIJI ALLY S T FIRE TO IT
Men Charged With Murder of Three
Policemen Keep Up Battle for Sev
eral Hours and a Number of Per
sons Ar2 Wcuridcd.
London , Jan. 4. Holding at bay for
hours hundreds of policemen , troops
and guardsmen , a band of suspectsd
anarchists , almost in the heart of. the
city ) maintained their detense until
the'house had collapseti and buried
the criminals in the ruins.
Six bodies were found in the wreck
age. Several of the firemen were in
jured and : i number of persons v/ero
wounded by the bullets of the be
sieged.
The affair , one of the most remark
able criminal outbreaks London ever
.has known , took on the dimensions
of a battle. It began early and con
tinned until afternoon , when the civi
authorities at last became masters of
the situation. Vast crowds gathered
in the narrow streets leading to the
scene cf activities , while word of th
desperate character of the fighting ran
throughout London , causing wide
spread excitement and alarm.
Leaders of the band are known as
Peter the Painter and Dutch Fritz.
The police say that while they were
satisfied that one of the bodies recov
ered was that of Dutch Fritz , they
were not positive that the other was
that of Peter the Painter.
During the fight points of vantage
were at a premium'and many persons
from the west end paid big prices for
positions on roofs commanding a view
of the scene.
Story of the Fight.
The suspected ones occupied a four-
story brick house in Sidney street.
The police , discovering their bead-
quarters , surrounded the place and
were met with a volley of shots , two
detectives bejng wounded , one seri
ously. One hundred shots had been
fired when the house caught fire and
the fire brigade was summoned.
The police , after locating the men
and anticipating trouble , had ordered
the houses in the immediate neighbor
hood vacated before daylight and ,
throwing a line of officers around the
square , allowed no one to approach
within a hundred yards of the scene
of the expected battle. The police
lines had been drawn so tightly tnsi
it was believed the inmates of the.
house had no chance to escape. The
police -were satisfied that the place
contained the two murderers want * ,
and they had also satisfied themselves
that the assassins had fortified their
home and were supported by a number
of'friends.
House Is Set on Fire.
Piles of straw were lighted near . .the
building and the flames soon commu
nicated to the house. The fire brigade
was then summoned and divided its
energies between putting out the
blaze and trying to flood out the out
laws by streams of water through
the windows.
A corps of nurses was brought to
the vicinity and they treated the
wounded , among whom were a "few
spectators v * ho had been struck by
spent bullets.
In the face of terrible odds , the
trapped men continued a desperat ?
resistance end every few minutes ap
peared at the windows and emptied
their guns.
Soon after 2 o'clock the roof of the
house fell in , carrying the * anarchists
down ainul the flames. Just before the
supports gave way , one of the desper
adoes attempted a dash from the build
ing. shooting in every direction. , He
met a volley from the soldiers and
staggered back into the house , w"nich
v/as then a fiery furnace. .
