“ WANTED ” MAN SHOT
POLICE FIGHT GANGSTER SENSATION IN HOLLYWOOD ROBBER CAUGHT IN THE ACT [By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright] Received April 5, 1 a.m. NEW YORK, April 4. A Hollywood message states that Joseph Luby, aged 27, gangster, who was wanted in Detroit for a double murder, was himself shot following a running light with the police through Hollywood suburbs to-day. Operating alone he left a motor car i.i front of a bank with the engine running, slipped inside, held up the teller, snatched £2OO and then dashed out. But luck was against him for he almost fell into the arms of a policeman. Struggling free, he leaped into a cart and speeded along a crowded Hollywood boulevard. The police cornered him in a vacant lot.
“All right, I surrender,” he called, but when the officials approached he started firing. The first shot by a policeman killed him and his fingerprints half an hour later completed the identification .
