Florentine apart ments, bullet through right kidney; taken to St. Joseph's hospital. Two other boys of about the same age did the shooting and escaped. Their names were not learned by the authorities. The girls knew them only as "Eddie" and "Mickey." The story of the affair as gleaned by the police is that the Crawford boy and 15-year-old Ruth Stace, 907 South Twentieth, and the Papineau youth and Julia Ryan, 14, of 844 South Twenty-fourth, were very fond of each other. They quarreled a week ago at Krug park, and out of pique the girls danced with the boys known as "Eddie" and "Mickey." Several nights ago the two latter vouths took the girls to a picture show. After the show Crawford and Papineau, who awaited outside w'th some other boys, routed "Mickey" and "Eddie," and jeered the girls. Last night when the new friends of the girls took them to the picture . iOw, "the gang" was outside again. When they tried to repeat their for mer tactics, one of the young escorts i pulled a revolver and shot down the ringleaders. 1 he other boys lied. The girls told the police that they knew their escorts only as "Eddie" and "Mickey," GILMORE HEAD OF BUILDIMAHD LOAN Omaha Man Made President of Association at Meeting in St. Louis.
