A policeman, attracted by the noise, ran up and seized one of them, whereupon the other shot him in the mouth, wounding him badly.

Nevertheless, the officer kept his prisoner and carried him to the station-house.

The tough who had done the shooting ran out and was seized by another officer.

The tough fired at him, the bullet passing through the officer's overcoat, but he was promptly knocked down, disarmed, and brought to the station-house.

In this case neither policeman used his revolver, and each brought in his man, although the latter was armed and resisted arrest, one of the officers taking in his prisoner after having been himself severely wounded.
