Apparently apart from the occupants of the cab, only one eye-witness was present. He was a business man named Carrington, who was walking along Eoveaux Street. He was actually between the gun and Dillon before the shots were fired. A man with his head bandaged sprang (from tlie car, and walked towards Carrington. As the latter moved aside, the man said: “Now, I’ve got you!” A shot rang out. Dillon, who was behind Carrington, sagged to the ground, and a second shot was fired as he fell. The gunmen then re-entered the car, which sped away into Elizabeth Street. All passed in a few seconds.
