Parry Séund District Scene of Ml Car Robbery, Mur- © der and Man Hunt SAMARITAN SLAIN Saturday morning, while C.P.R. train No. 4 was passing at a very slow rate of speed throigh Romford Junc- tion, some distance south of Sudbury, two bandits enterlad the ivy Sat. They pointed firearms at" ree Toronto clerks, Harry McDonald, M. 'Doyle and A. C. Clarke, cut open most of the mail bags in the car and took what they wanted from the inside, As the train entered the outskirts of Parry Sound the two robbers left the mail car, and, jumping into an auto which had been parked by Lee Lyman of Ohio, a summer "visitor, tore off though the edge of the city and out toward Waubamik, about nits miles north. IN HOT PURSUIT Lyman, with his brothers-in-law, Walter Laird, aged about 21, and Houghton Laird, aged 18, with whom he was visiting, jumped into the car of Harold J. Rowland, a friend, and had Rowland drive them in pursuit of the stolen car. For miles the pursuers never caught sight of their quarry, until a few rods past the Village of Waubamik. Here the robbers, unfamiliar with the road, drove into the ditch, and, unaware that they were being pursued, decided to secure a tow. One of the bandits vd in th bush alongside the road while the other, who, the police alleged, was Burawski, who was later captured, went to the farmhouse of Thomas Jackson to se-! cure a tow. BANDITS POSE AS TOURISTS Arousing the family, Thomas Jack- son, the father, aged about 60 years, and hig two pons, Claude, aged 26, and Adam, aged 23. -Mr. Jackson and Claude went out, secured a horse, hitched it to the car, and had just given one pull on the chain when Row- land's car, containing Rowland and | the Laird Brothers and Lyman, dash- ed along the road. Recognizing, the stolen car as they pasted, they stopped immediately, turned their car and ran over to the group at the roadside. The tandit wes at the wheel, while the Jacksons, father and son, stood at the horse's head. Rowlland, at first, to disarm suspicion, asked the man at the wheel if he was stuck, and then suddenly produced a monkey wrench and trusting to the dark to conceal the nature of his weapon, p= inted it at the robler and ordered him to sur- render. BANDITS OPEN FIRE Crying, "Don't shoot," the stranger jumped from the car, and as ho ran sround behind it for shelter drew a reviver and opened fire. Almost at once the eldest Jackson clutched at his thrcat, and, staggering to the gate,! collapsed. The confederate at the roadside had also opened fire, Claude Jackson thinks, so that it is not known which of the robbers fired tha shot which killed Mr. Jackson. The fusillads attracted young Adam Jackson from the house, and when he arrived Walter Lgird had | grappled with the robber behind the! car. The ruffian, however, managed | to twist his weapon around and fire| two shots into Laird's body. OTHER DESPERADO FLEES Rowland then attacked the armed man, and goon beat him into supmis- sion with his wrench. By this time the firing from the rcadside had ceas- ed, and it is presumed that the cther desperado had taken fright and run away across a field and into the bush, The Parry Sound Provincial Polise and municipal constables had been aroused by the Laird family as the men left in pursuit of the stolen car, The U.
