Gunshots fired in Philippine Senate where lawmaker wanted by ICC is holed up

Rutland, July 27.—The nightly gun play said to be indispensable to the amusement of frontier town came on Main street Saturday night, when Frank Gardner Hill, who escaped from the police Friday night again wriggled out from under the arms of the law, as personified by Special Policeman James Pitaniello. Hill says Officer Pitaniello was the man who appeared and demanded admittance at the door of the Charles Johnson house, corner Main and West streets, where he had been staying. It was under that impression, at least, that the officer fired the shots which awakened the neighborhood, but missed the flying fugitive. Pitaniello and Special Officer John Childs have, ever since the Friday night incident, been at the Johnson home, awaiting the return of their man. Saturday night, about 11 o'clock, while Pitaniello was in the hall downstairs and Childs was upstairs, someone came to the door on the Main street side of the house, and tried to get in. The Italian special was just inside the door and intended to allow his man to enter and then overpower him in the unlighted hall. Owing to a moving shadow the stranger became suspicious, and did not show any immediate intention of falling into the trap. As the policeman opened the door a hair's breadth his man took alarm, and fled across the street. Pitaniello's finger was pinched in between the door and the wall, and he was slow to follow, but gave chase, firing his revolver several times. The fugitive sped across Main street
