Mandannla, a contractor for the Vnlon Pacific, who has known tho prisoner several years. Mandan nls wst the only msn to whom Masuredls would talk. He has a tale, of self-defense to offer. "I took the revolver out of my pocket and was gnlng to throw it away." declared Masuredls. "I did not want to be fined for carrying concealed weapons. The police man thought' I was going to shoot at him and ha fired at me, hitting me In the breast. Then 1 fired at him to save my self. . He then shot at me again, hitting me In the leg. "I did not Intend to kill him." The South Omaha police had kept their eyea on Masuredls ever since he returned to Omaha from Kansaa City two weeks ago. They saw him In the company of the girl, Lllll Breese. That young woman was arrested some time ago, It is said, and It la declared aha la not IS years old, but 17. Masuredls repeated to hla friend Mandan nla his story that ha went to see tha girl to learn English and asserted that ha had a primer In his pocket as ' well aa the revolver.- Masuredls - has been in America three .and one-half years, coming here from Measenla, Greece, where ho haa a wife and one son about 6 years old. He first went to Sunrise, Wyo., where his brother Gust was at the time. Later the two came to South Omaha and opened a confectionery and grocery. This was sold Borne montha ago and Gust Masuredls went to Alexandria, Egypt, where he now Is. Tha man who shot the policeman went to Kansaa City. No one oould get a word out of tha pris oner, whose wounds are not serious, save his fellow countryman. To jail officials, the sheriff and newspaper rnen he refused to answer, although he can talk English a little and must have understood the ques tions addressed him. He submitted to be ing photographed without protest. Story of tho Mnrder. Officer Lowery was shot and Instantly killed by Masuredls at five minutes be fore 12 o'clock Friday night at the corner of -Twenty-fourth and N streets. Lowery had gone up to the room where the girl, Ulll Breese lived to arrest Masuredls for vagrancy. He found him and the girl there and brought them downstairs and out on the street It was then that Masuredls pulled his gun and fired at the policeman. He shot twice, tho bullets striking Lowery In the right leg and left aide. The bullet in the side severed the mesenteric artery and the policeman bled to death In leas than five minutes In Reliefer's drug store, whither ho waa carried.' Masuredls ran around a street car and then back to tho staircase and up again to the girl's room. Here Officer Harder found v him hiding under the bed. Harder dragged him out and then the Greek showed tight and reached for his gun. The officer lost no time In applying hla club, knocking the man out tha first blow. The chief of police and four other officers were called frcm the drug atore and kept a large crowd of angry men back who ahouted. "Hang Mm! . Hang . him!:... Further than, these sl'tuta there .was no disorder, except that the men crowded around the prisoner yell ing all the way to the jail. There Dr. Koenig, who had attended Officer Lowery during hla dying moments, examined tha Greek and discovered his wounds. Mra Lowery had arrived at tha drug atore within a few minutes after tha ahoot lng, but not in time to bid farewell to one of tho bravest, kindliest officers on tha force. Her grief waa most pitiful and '-"the effect on the Immense crowd waa maddening, . Girl Telia Story. The girl who waa accompanying the Greek made no effort to eacape and was making her way aobblng toward her room when she was detained and taken to the police atation. There aha told the . first story of the shooting.. Sho said; 'I waa teaching the man to speak English. He came to my rooms evenlnga to learn wbat he could. Mrs. Haynea called the officer and when he came, in the prisoner waa aeated on the edge , ef tha bed and we were talking. The - officer said, .'Aha, I want you,' to tho Greek. Then he told me to get ready to go to the police station. I wsnt, for the officer told me I could come right back again. When wa got opposite the car uaed for a ahop I waa ahead. I heard tha officer aay, 'None of that now,' and then heard two shots. I don't know who shot first. ' Both were shooting. The man dove under the car and the officer fired one ahot after him, and then aank to hla knees. The Greek then got up and walked away." Tho woman Is small, of dark com plexion, sharp-witted and apparently frank In her story. The police will not hold her except as a witness. She was placed in a cell for the night. Mok Tkreatene Revenge, There was much trouble before Masuredls waa safely lodged In the Douglas county jail. Frcm the South Omaha lockup he waa was taken a little past midnight to the South Omaha hospital. Five hundred men howling for the Qreex's blood had sur rounded the jail, but made no overt effort to get him when he was hustled Into an ambulance guarded by the chief of police and aa many men as that official could muster. The mob was told that Masuredls had been shot and that hla chances of recovery were small. Thla had for a time a mollify lng effect, but while he was In the hospital the newa of the murder waa apread over Bouth Omaha as fast as only a tale of murder can travel. The officers had word of the spirit of mob vengeance now aurgtng higher and higher. They then determined to bring Masuredls to Omaha. He wss replaced in the ambu lance and the drive begun. A roundabout way waa pursued In order to deceive any purauanta Officer Lowery had been on tha force tor a number of years. His residence wss at Twenty-fourth and K atreeta He la survived by a wire and three children. The oldest Is Miss Katheiine Lowery, a atudent at the State university.

REAL THING IN SNOWSTORM Recollections of an Bnsllsk Blissard tkat Pat Forty Feet of Snow on Hlgkwaya. The mogul englnea which were stalled in the recent blissard out west do not appear to be. worthy successors of a certain. Her cules engine which cut a noble . figure In the English blissard of 1836. -To appreciate tha role played by tha Her cules some Idea must be given of the effect Of the storm on other methods of travel. Fourteen mall coaches were abandoned on aa many roads. Another was dug out of drifts five ttmea between Exeter and Lon don. ( Another waa burled so deep that it took 300 men, principally aappera and ' miners, several hours to make a passage to the coach and rescue tha mails and passengers. while near Chatham the anow lay to a depth of thirty or forty feet, the military being turned, out to the number of too to clear tho way. In London the drifts were ten feet deep and hundreds of men and carta were em ployed hauling the anow out to tho fields In the suburbs. The markets were In a bad way. One day only four atall holders were abke to reach a main market. Greene, which a tew daya before the storm were being sold for I pence a bunch at market, now fetched from lOd to Is., turnips, carrots and celery becoming equally dear; while Id handful of parsley realised la td, and the happy possessor of a bunch which he had previously purchased for 9d realised for his prise no less a a sum than 3 2s Id. Amid all thla confualon the pioneer rail ways covered themselves with glory by running trains almost without Interruption. There was a deep cutting on one line where the snow had drifted badly and, according to the Queen, great numbers of people turned out to aea how tha Hercutea engine would get along. They Imagined, of course, that it would bo stopped, but to their aa- tonlshment the engine dashed right Into the drift, "olearing Ita way right through apparently without the slightest difficulty, the anow at the aame time flying over the top of the engine chimney like foam from the broken wavea of a violent aea, ana notwithstanding obstructions the train came down from Greenhead (twenty miles) in one hour and a quarter."
