VICTIMS OF SHOTS
OF ALLEGED THIEF
\ NOW IN HOSPITAL.
I teodjr Battle ' Between Vogel, His
Jirl and Detectives?Three Now
Dead, Two More Injured?The
4 Crook Opened Fire When Officers
Entered His Room.
New York, Nov. 19.?The bodies of
tienry vogel, described by the police
as an international crook, and his
tfirl, 'Lottie," lay in the morgue today.
John Allen, a city detective, is dead,
while in uptown hospitals four men
and two detectives are hovering bei
twcen life and death as the result of
a raid on the rooms where they were
thought to be diamond thieves.
The accounts vary as to whether
Vogel shot his companion and committed
suicide or whether the pair
fell before the officers' fire.
The trailing of Vogel yesterday fol4owed
the confession of a servant girl
in the Tombs, who confessed to sev;
? ral robberies and implicated Vogel
. .. the "fence" for dishonest servants
..ho made a practice of getting positions
for the sole purpose of robbery.
The Crime.
A man and woman stood in a
small room of a Raines law hotel lit
the Bronx last night and deliberately
shot down three detectives and two
other men who were trying to place
the pair under arrest. After nearly
, emptying the eleven chambers of a
largo automatic revolver, reinforced
by shots from an ordinary revolver
in the hands of his woman companion
' and probably fatally 'wounding four
a of those shot down, the man is said
to have shot and killed the woman
and then put a bullet through his
own head, dying instantly.
The dead man was known by several
names, having registered at the
hotel as Joseph Vogel. The police
declare that he was a Pole named
. Pliovuc T"
. -?o^n-iiiMn. i nt.- woman witn
1 him had registered as Lottie xfogel.
Vogel was about 18 years old and the
woman about 25.
Suspected of Robbery.
The detectives were on the trail of
the pair, suspecting them of having
,been accomplices in a diamond robjbery
for which Sophie Beckender ,a
domestic, had been held for the grana
jury today. The woman who had lost
the jewels traced the girl to Vogel's
house and told the detectives of her

discovery. After a taxicab chase the
detectives learned that the VogeTs
had sought lodging at the Elsmere
Hotel, at Cortlandt avenue and One
Hundred and Sixty-first street, in the
Bronx. Martin F. Bay, central office
detective, and John Allen and Louis
Gerade, private detectives, went to
the hotel in search of their quarry.
Louis Moendschien, the proprietor,
told of the couple having arrived in
a taxicab early in the evening, and
ordered William Butler, a waiter, to
show the detectivef to the Vogel
{ oot n.
Vogel opened the door in response
to a summons and as Allen forced his
way in, declaring that the couple
were under arrest, Vogel struck the
detective over the head with a blackjack
and then grasped a magazine
pistol which lay upon the bed. His
first bullet struck Allen in the heau
and he fell probably fatally hurt. Fay
and Gerade rushed into the room, followed
by Moendschien and Butler. It
is declared that thev did not fire a i
shot, but expected to seize Allen's assassin.
They were not quick enough.
Vogel let go one shot after another,
nearly every one taking effect. Fay
and Moendschein both received probably
fatal wounds in the abdomen.
Gerade was shot in the leg and back
and Butler received a bad wound in
the hip. The woman, also armed,
had fired several shots, some of which
it is believed hit the detectives.
Kills Woman and Self.
Vogel turned on his woman ana
shot. She was shot through the abdomen
and soon expired. Vogel
made quick work of himself by putting
the last bullet from his gun into
his head. He fell dead. At the hostal
to which all of the woundea
were taken it is said probably all except
Butler would die.
The two trunks and two suit cases
which the couple had taken to the
hotel were removed to a police station
but the stolen jewelry was not
found.
The police say that in trailing the
vogel pair the detectives were probably
running down a contpletely organized
scheme for robbing residences
throughout the upper West
Side. '

Breckendorf girl was held, charges <
her with numerous robberies of jew- i
els, amounting to several thousand 1
dollars.
According to the police the girl <
broke down and confessed that the 1

JOHN C. COTTINGHAM DEAD
Prominent Citizen* of Dillon County
Passes Away.
Dillon, November 19?Mr. Jnp. C.
Cottingham, one of the most prominent
citizens and foremost business
men of Dillon county, died today at
11 o'clock at his home near GaUavon.
The immediate cause of Mr. Cottingham's
death was heart failure, superinduced
by an illness of several days
from an attack of acute indigestion.
Although nearing his three-score and
ten, being in his 69th year, Mr. Cottingham
was one of the most active
business men in the county. He owned
a model farm ten miles west of Dillon,
which, combined with his mercantile
interests at Gallavon, had enabled him
to accumulate a handsome competency.
He was a well poised man, endowed
with great strength of character
and throughout his long and active
life his word was never questioned,
nor was his integrity as a man
or a citizen ever doubted. In every
sense he was a strong and substantial
citizen and his passing is a distinct
loss to the county.
Mr. Cottingham was a Confederate
veteran and served with Gregg's battery
on Sullivan's Island until the surrender.
He was also a member of
St. Paul's M. E. Church, of Little
Rock, being one of its strongest supporters
and stanchest members. Early
n life he was married to Miss Mary
Legette, of Clio, by whom he is survived.
In addition to his widow, Mr.
Cottingham is survived by several
sons, who are prominent in the business
life of this and other states, and
two daughters, as follows: R. L. Cottingham,
of Gadsden, Ala; W. J. Cottingham,
Cultman, Ala.; L. Cottingham,
Dillon; A. H. Cottingham, Union,
S. C.; Ernest Cottingham of Gallavon;
Mrs. J. B. Steele, of Kingstree,
and Mrs. LaFar Lipscomb, of Gaffney.
Mr. Cottingham will be buried at Little
Rock Thursday morning at 11
o'clock?News and Courier.

EIGHT TRAINMEN
KILLED IN WRECK.
Three Others Badly Injured in Seaboard
Smash-up?No. 84 and No. 81
Come Together on Curre Near Norlina?No
Pasengers Hurt.
Norlina, N. C., Nov. 19.?Eight
trainmen were killed and three badly
injured near here early today, when
two Seaboard Air Line through passenger
trains, running between New
York and Jacksonville, Fla., collided
head-on. Both locomotives and three
passenger coaches were demolished.
Further deaths and injuries were prevented
by the fact that there were no
passengers in the coaches demolished.
The dead: Will,A Fairon, engineer,
Raleigh; Chas. A. Beckham, engineer,
Raleigh; Richard Gray, negro fireman,
Raleigh; James Ruffin, negro fireman,
Raleigh; Thomas Rogan, negro porter,
Richmond, Va.; J. R. Rountree,
express messenger, Jacksonville, Fla.;
O. J. Priddy, express .messenger, oft
duty, Boykin, Va.; Henry King, deadheading.
The injured: Mr. Bryant, baggagemaster,
badly burned about body ana
face; Mr. Brown, baggagemaster,
badly bruised; Willis Pope, negro por- =
ter scalded about the head and neck.
The wreck occurred seven miles
north of here, at 4 o'clock this
morning, just as train No. 81, south
bound, was coming out of a long curve
in a deep fill. Both trains were running
at full speed and the engineer
of neither could have seen the an
proach of the other for more than a
minute before the crash.
The wreckage did not catch fire an<J
there was.no panic among the passengers.
There was suffering among
the passengers on account of the cold.
The cause of the wreck is as yet un?
known but it is believed to have resulted
from a misreading of orders.
Shortly after the wreck occurred
nearby farmers brought coffee to the
scene for the benefit of the chilleo
passengers and injured. Wrecking
crews and relief trains were sent out
from Raleigh and by late this afternoon
the track was clear of wrecRage.
v' One of the women passengers was
hurled backwards from her berth to
the compartment back of her.- She
tore a hole through the thin partition
but escaped injury.
Mr. Cliff Sligh of Columbia spent
Sunday in Union with his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. G. B. Sligh.
