Ted finally got him turned over
on his back, and then he saw that the detective was dead.
Kneeling on the floor with his head in his arms, which were thrown
across a chair, was the third detective. He was breathing hard, and
every time he moved the blood gushed from his mouth. He had been shot
through the stomach.
But on the other side of the bed lay three men, apparently all of them
dead.
While he was observing this there was a commotion in the hall, and a
policeman rushed in, followed by a large man who wore an authoritative
air.
"Oh, this is too bad; this is too bad," he kept repeating, as he went
from man to man. It was Chief of Detectives Desmond. Turning to the
policeman, he said:
"They've killed the boys, but the boys got the whole gang except two,
'Checkers' out there, and a man in the red automobile."

and they came running down the hall, followed by a horde of eager
reporters, who stood aghast at the slaughter of a few minutes.
