Hold “Conny, the Rat” in Shooting of Boston Policemen

Boston, Dec. 1—Cornelius Moriarty, known in Boston’s South End district, the police said, as “Conny, the Rat,” was booked at police headquarters shortly before midnight tonight on a warrant charging him with assault with a dangerous weapon on a police officer in performance of his duties, in connection with the shooting last Saturday night of Patrolmen Thomas K. McCabe and Joseph F. Condon. Both officers are still on the danger list in a hospital here as a result of bullet wounds received following a holdup in the Back Bay district.

Picked up in the police dragnet after several witnesses had said that pictures of him resembled the man who shot down the two officers and then forced a taxi driver at gun point to drive hint away. Moriarty tonight denied any connection with the crime.

“I didn’t shoot those cops,” he told the Inspector who arrested him, and a moment later said, the detective asserted, “If I’d known you were out to get me it would be you and I all over the street and it would be you going to the station house.”

Rifle Sequel to Dog Fight

Bullet Missed Mark

Passed Through McGregor’s Arm — Barber Next Door Had a Narrow Escape.

Duncan McGregor’s pet bull dog almost cost his master’s life this morning at the hands of Freeman Quinn. Quinn shot at McGregor with a Winchester rifle at uncomfortably close range. The bullet that was intended for McGregor passed through the sleeve of his jacket, cutting several holes in the garment, but McGregor was uninjured.

The shooting occurred in McGregor’s saloon, at the corner of Mercury and Montana street. The place is quiet, traffic does not block the streets of the locality incidents of moment are unusual, and the bonnie Highland soldiers in the pictures that adorn the walls must have been astonished at what happened to disturb their peace and quiet and to remind them of tented field and fierce foray.
