RUNNING FIGHT WITH POLICE.
Sensation At Hollywood. NOTED GANGSTER KILLED. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received April 4, 10.40 p.m.) i NEW YORK. April 4. A Hollywood message states that Joseph Luby, the twentyseven-year-old gangster, who was wanted in Detroit for double murder, was himself shot, following a running fight with the police through Hollywood suburbs to-day. Operating alone, Luby left his motor car in front of a bank, with the engine running, and slipped inside, held up the teller, snatched £3OO, and then dashed out. But luck was against him, for he almost fell into the arms of a policeman. Strugling free, he leaped into his car and speeded along the crowded Hollywood boulevard. The police cornered him in a vacant lot: “All right, I surrender,” he called, but when the officers approached, he started firing. The first shot by a policeman killed him, and his fingerprints taken half an hour later completed the identification.
