' and part of the kitchen into the alley and when the police weie able to en ter the building it was a wreck. They found an explanation in Mclntyre s notes, which he left scrawled in lead pencil on a soiled piece of brown pa per. "The almigh'v Gd has nade me a prophet unto all nations ana also my wife, Hattie Mclntyre," ran the note. Note Left by Fanatic. You shall know that the Lord has sent me to gather unto the Lord the remnant of the Adonic seed." (At this place in the scrawl, the negro wrote three capitel C's and the initials "P. H.") ' 'The Lord has made me the saviour of all Africans of America and now I shall recommend all that are worthy unto my Heavenly Father, the great God of all creation. The Lord has given me a spirit to judge the quick and the dead. I must die in this land that I may carry my reports unto Almighty God concerning the land of the United States." Begins Shooting at S O'clock. The negro first attracted the atten tion of neighbors by thouting about 3 o'clock in the morning. He grew more violent toward 5 o'clock and alarmed neighbor! came out to inves tigate. The negro began to shoot and calls immediately were sent to the police. Frank Freemuth, one of the police, told thit story: - "Stuart Dean was shot when he en tered the building after breaking down a rear door. I and four other policemen were with him, but he was the tint to enter, tie waa tnot and killed the instant that he crossed the threshold. Clement . and . Crabtree were thot when they entered to re cover Dean't body. Both fell and we had to go In and get the three of them. ...... - 'The crazy negro wat barricaded behind a trunk and other article! when we came in. He had a rifle and a revolver and fired to fast that I couldn't count them." ' Story ot Mrs. Knox. Mrs. Knox gave thit version: "I wtt awakened at S o'clock by thoutt and screams," she said. "I awakened my husband and we found that the tcreamt came from. a woman at Mclntyre' t home. We went out on our porch." A bullet struck my husband and he fell dead. I atarted back in the houte to warn my niece. A bullet ttruck me tn the back. Mrs. Knox told her story from a cot in the hospital, where it was said her condition was serious. She said that neighbors for some months had considered Mclntyre queer and did not associate with him. His actions at times became to strange that the police were called, but his offenses were not considered serious enough to warrant arrest. Woman Loads Guns. Mclntyre't wife it tupposed to have assisted him by reloading his weapons. A cartridge belt was found around her waist similar to one warn by her husband. The negro fired with deliberation, almost as though at target practice. After the neighbors became aroused it was not long until squads of nolice flocked to the scene, headed by Chief Healey himself. It wat 8 o'clock, however, three hours after the firing of the first shot, be fore the tragedy ended with the death of itt instigators. The first detail of twelve policemen under Lieutenant Wesley Westbrook attempted to storm the house with clubs and pistols, but were driven back- Kitles were brought up. ifie blue coats poured a fusilade into ev ery window. For a time the negro ceased to fire and it was thought he wat dead, when a policeman tried the door he reopened tire, going irom window to window and firing with calm precision. Fire Goes Out The bluecoatt were chary of Mc- Intvre't marksmanship by this time and authority was obtained to fire the building. It was to hazardous an undertaking, however, that only a small blaze was started among the shingles, and thit died out of itself. Policeman Dean was killed as he broke down the rear door, of the Mc lntyre house. Clement and Crabtree were thot when they entered to re cover Dean't body. Mrt. Overmeyer waa alain when the went in tearch of her husband, who had gone to inves tigate the shooting. Dynamite finally was brought and exploded, wrecking the house. Mra. Mclntyre't head was blown off and her body riddled with bullets. She was found thus, but Mclntyre, al though wounded, was leaning against a bedroom door leading from the kitchen. Before he could fire a bullet one from one of the officers found its mark in his head. He was taken to a hospital, where he died.
