Bullarú was shot by a pajntev nmid Geovge Wilsop, whom Bollard wan about to arrest. The f acts leadlng to the murder are as follows: On Friday, November 3:i, Charles Helse, a grocer doiug business at ihe corner of Fourtecnth avenue and W'aluut streit, reported at the Trumbull avenue precinct that a barrel of kerosene oil had been 6tolen from in front of his place. Patrolman Bullard had been doing duty in the locality, and as it was thought the oll had not been taken a very considerable distance the case was assigned to him. Bullard made such inquirles :. re uaual in suph case?, and having his suwpiclons dlrected 'to a certhin locality examiLCd tbe sidewalks there and found a streak which led to the house of George Wilson, a painter in the employ of Arthur Treadway & Co. Thif f act was reported to Capt. Myler and in purraance of hls advlce a search warrant was procured from the pólice court. This wairant was serred by roundsman Bendall and patrolman Bullard. In the shed in the rear of Wilson'e house they found a barrel of oil hid den under a lot of rags and rubbish. They placed a private mark on the ban el and then took lt to Heise's storo and to'.J him to keep it until they called for it. The offleers then vlsited the pólice court again for the purpose of procuring a warrant íor Wilson's nrre.t, but arrived a iittle too late In the afternoon and found Justice Miner gonc. Fearing that the suspected man migut escape them Bendall aud Bullard went back to the house for tha purpose of arresting him. Wilson -was not at home, and after consultation with another patrolman, Bullard decided to wait on the corner near Wilson's house, untll he (Wilson) sbould return from work, and this was the last seen of Bullard bv any of his fellow offleers. Sbortly afterward people living in tbat viclnity hcard a heavy muili-d sound which they at. first supposed was the flring of the sundown gun at the fort, but as this sound wa followea by several eharp re ports likc the diecharge of a revolver their attentiou was attracted to the street from-hich the last eoupd seemed to procced. The Kirair happened at an hour when the Uien living in the neighborhood wcre away from home, and it sceins that siveral ladies living near bv, were the first to discover patrollman Bullard lymg on his side, mortally wounded, there being a hole in his left groin large enough to admit a man's fist, from which the inteetines were protruding. The offleor was eyidently bleeding to dtath internally.and the physiciau was unable to render any material assistance, death resultlng a ftw minutos after the doetot's nrrivu!. Previous to his death Bullard made a statement of what occurred after Bendall left him. He said thstt he 6tood on. the corner untül about 5:30 when he fiaw Wilson coming up the strec t. A6 he approached the officer stopped hir.i and told him he was wanted at the station. Wilson had a double-barreled shot gun in his hand, and while they wcre arj.uing the matter he raised the gun and emptied both barrels into Bullard's side, immediately aftorward running down the street joined' by two men who seemed tohave been waiting for him a bloclf or two below. At the conclusión of this statement Bullard said : "Oh, my poor llttle wifc, what wiil she do! i have nothiug to leaTe her." The kind-hearted offlcers present assured him that kis fainily would be taken care of, and in a few minutes he had ceased to breathe. A meeting of the pólice board was callcd and prompt step3 taken to capture Wilson. A rewarii of $500 was offered, and theentire detective force of the city set at work. ODlcers searched carefully all night, and the neit morning they were enabled to trace the murderer to Petite Cote, Ont., a few miles froui Detroit. He was arrested and brought to Detroit, where he was lodgert in the Central station. He denlcd all knowledge of the crijie, ana said that if he did the ehooting Jiquor was to blame for it. Patrolman Bnllard was appoiuted to the force on the 26th of April last, and was assigned to duty in the Trumble avenue precint. He proved to be a very fait hf ui and efficiënt offleer, as is evidenced by his having been assigned to the case in tho prosecution of whichhe met his death. It was statedptthe pólice station that Bullard signed the mutual insurauce roli in the secretary's office only a few dsy6 ago, in whioh event his family will rtceive some $700 or $800 f rom theother members of the association, the amount being collected in $5 6ubscriptions from cach man on the next pay day.
