They are Richard Hayes, 18; Max Eskold, 21, and William Sullivan, 19, Sullivan was shot in the right leg. The other two who claim that they were drunk and asleep in the car corroborated by their companions, are Anthony Abitibila, 22, and Michael Gagliardi, 21, A bullet clipped the skin of Gagliardi's forehead. Both are held in $25,000 bail for attempted robbery, Three of the five walked into the delicatessan store of David Leschwitt, within sight of Berger Street police station shortly before 3 a.m. last Fri- day. They had all spent the evening drinking in a speak-easy and were cruising about aimlessly, The bright lights of Leschwitt's shop had attract- ed their attention and they decided to hold it up. The proprietor threw up his hands at their command, but Patrolman Joseph Calcaterra, who was eating in the rear of the store, drew his revolver and opened fire. Two of the burglars fired at him and missed, and then all three ran to the automobile parked at the curb with the other men in it. Police Car Ready Hardly more than a block away another automobile, a police car, stood in front of the Bergen Street station with Detectives Grundelman, Mechan, White, Toolen, and Sahada inside. They had just reported to the station and were about to make a tour of the district, Speeding to Flatbush Avenue, the detectives saw the robbers tumbling into the auto and gave chase. Down Flatbush, across Eighth Avenue and into Sterling Place the two automo- biles raced with revolvers cracking from both cars. Detective Grundelman received bullet in his right hand but switdhed his weapon and con- tinued firing. Twice patrolmen on their posts realized what was going on and emptied their revolvers at the pursued car. Between Fifth and Sixth Avenue, in Sterling Place, a bullet punctured a tire of the robbers' car and it swerved and crashed into the curb. Hayes, Sullivan and Abitabila sur- rendered and the other two fled. Pat- rolmen surrounded the block and, after a short search, two men stepped from a cellar nearby and said: "We give up." They were Eskold and Gagliardi. ; en they indicated they were willing to plead guilty, Sullivan, Hayes and were arraigned before County Judge Vause in Brooklyn. After a short hearing they were found guilty and remanded to Ray- oad Sucet Ja to amps sentence BURAWSKI NAMED SLAYER OF FARMER Inquest Held Into Death of Victim in Mail Car Robbery Parry Sound, Aug. 20.--At an in- quest into the death of Thomas Jacke son of Waubamic tonight, at the Court House here, before Coroner without a jury, the verdict returned was that Thomas Jackson came to his death as a result of a bullet fired from a gun in the hands of John Burawski, the man who was captur- ed in the stolen car and was thought to be one of the mail robbers. Police From North Bay Provincial Policemen from as far north as Cobalt and North Bay and as far south as Barrie and Colling- wood, have been called upon to join in the search. The main road is pa- trolled and at night all cars are stop- ped and searched, while freight and passenger trains through Waubamick are also subjected to scrutiny. An aeroplane was requisitioned yes- terday, and, flying low, an aviator conducted an extensive survey of the district, but to no purpose. May Be Near Burwash Possibility that the wanted man may be in the Burwash area has resulted in guards from the prison farm there keeping close watch. One report was received to the effect that a man had got away from Waubamick on a north-bound freight train, and it is thought he may get off near Bur- wash. May Cross Border As the third day dawns since the robbery and murder, and the second bandit remains uncaptured, the opin- ion is gaining ground in some circles that he has made his way out of the Parry Sound district and is on his way toward the American border, if indeed he is not already across it. It is believed that once he 'reached a highway he would be able to secure lifts' from motorists, and would thus be soon beyond reach of the Provin- cial Police near Parry Sound. Meanwhile, however, the police re- fuse to become discouraged, and are hourly following up clues and making fresh investigations and arrests. One of the men taken into custody yes- terday in particular is regarded as Jossibly the wanted bandit, but so ar he has refused to talk to the police. The man resides in the No- bel district, and is known as "Shorty." He, like the captured Burawski, is a Pole. 3 Burawski Burawski was arraigned this after- noon on a merely nominal charge of stealing a motor car valued at $900. The car in question was owned by Lee Lyman, of Ohio, and was used in the robbery. The formal reading of the charge was made before Justice of the Peace C. C, Johnston and Frank Cook, Mayor and ex-Mayor of Parry Sound. Burawski was un- represented, and was remanded with- out bail for a week on the request \ of Crown Attorney W. L. Haight. The prisoner appeared harried. It is fully expected that a charge of mur- der will be laid as a result of tonight's verdict. At the inquest tonight the story of the chase of the stolen car, and the fight over it in front of the Jackson heme at Waubemic was told just as it 'had been earlier related in press reports. A new point was learned when it came out that the prisoner, Buraw- ski had said after he was captured that he wished he had shot himsel. It is reported that he has since threatened suicide. The autopsy re- port of Dr. Applebe showed the death of Jackson to have been due to suffocation as a result of blood en- tering the lungs from the wound in the throat, 3 FUTURE OF CANADA Our public men ought to avail themselves of every opportunity of impressing upon the youth of Canada the importance of remaining and working on this side of the line. Un- told opportunities await them here; but the young man or the young woman who is continually hearing the prosperity of the United States ex- tolled naturally wants to go there.
