While waiting for the boys, he sees 2 men who had the appearance of vagrants enter the building..He hurries downstairs to find the men hidden in a closet and locked the door behind them. They are John Healy of Salem and Edward Toohey,who also goes by the name of Sweeney, of NYC, who tell investigators later that Bloomingdale and another man banged on the door and threatened to shoot if he and Healy didn't come out. Toohey says he and Healy simply sought shelter on their way to Rensselaer where they meant to find jobs in the railroad shops.Bloomingdale reports he ordered them out but they called him names and absolutely refused him to enter the room.He tried to break the door down with no luck , so to scare them, he fires his revolver at the door.Healy was shot in the neck, and after trying to treat the man, Bloomingdale calls Dr James Love, who dresses the wound and then orders Healy taken by ambulance to the Troy Hospital.Sherriff Irving Baucus and DA O’Brien are expected to begin an investigation tomorrow. **************Get the Moviefone Toolbar.
