2 Men Caught But 5 Escape After Shooting Robert Ward Dying as Result of Murderous Attack on Sixth Street QUINTET COMMANDEERS MOTOR FOR GETAWAY Victim's Brother and Fellow Cop Witness Affray—Gun Battle Follows Autoist Gets $5 Tip The bandits who made Fred Klosterman drive them to Gloucester early today after shooting Policeman Robert Ward had varied ideas on recompense. "Let's give him $500," one bandit said as he pulled out a wad of bills that made Klosterman's eyes bulge. "No, let's give him five bullets," chimed in another bandit brandishing a revolver that made Fred's heart waver. They compromised by forcing a $5 bill into Klosterman's hand and telling him to "beat it." Policeman Robert Ward is dying in the Homeopathic Hospital from a bullet wound below the heart and which was inflicted by a gang of seven Philadelphia "stick-up" men early this morning. Two of the bandits later were captured hiding under a porch after all seven had escaped after their automobile had hit a fireplug and the engine had stalled. The other five highwaymen held up an autoist and compelled him to drive them to Gloucester, where police now are trying to pick up their trail. The autoist is Fred Klosterman, 2[?] years old, 1123 Whitman avenue. One of the bandits held a revolver in Klosterman's side during the ride from Camden to Gloucester. His life was threatened several times. Shortly after their capture, the two men were taken to the hospital where the dying policeman identified Dillon as the man who had shot him. "The fellow on the left shot me," Ward said as he pointed to Dillon. Both Dillon and Branin have police records in Philadelphia. Branin was in a shooting episode in Philadelphia two weeks ago. All the seven bandits are said to be members of the "Bailey gang," one of the most notorious bands of criminals in the East.
