He said he fell asleep again and
was awakened again by a kick on the
foot, to find that his car was out on
the road. THe trio of strangers, he
said, were talking about having got
fen some watches, stickpins and
money. (Marino and Eagles repeated
ly have confessed to holding up two
automobile parties on the Baltimore
J’ike late Saturday night.)
Somewhat dazed and frightened. Mc-
Cabe asserted, ho was brought back
to Washington and the four got out
on Webster street and walked to
Georgia avenue, where they were plac
ed under arrest by Policemen Busch
end Ach. He contends that while
walking with the officers toward the
ear they had Just left, his new com
panions broke loose and started shoot
ing. In the melee he hid himself be
hind a' hedge and then fled to his
home, bewildered by the events of the
evening. |
Others Taunt McCabe.
Marino and Eagles, however, bitter
ly accuse McCabe of lying. “Why
don't you tell the truth?’’ they de
manded of him last night, with an
epithet, while the trio were being
driven to Garfield Hospital to confront
the injured policemen. Detectives also
.say they have proof that McCabe’s
story Is false. "McCabe was the brains
of the gang" Headquarters Detective
Murphy, who captured him yesterday,
declared. Police point, also, to the fact
that McCabe went into hiding after
the shooting, instead of volunteering
to give the "information” he had to
t lie police.
