When the gunfire finally was stilled the body of Howard Ellis lav behind a bookcase barricade, riddled by 26 bullets. His dirty white frame house was splintered by thousands of rounds of ammu nition. - ' Ellis' wife Janie, first target of his rage, suffered minor wounds in the left leg and left hand. One patrolman, Paul White, 38. was in critical condition with wounds m the chest, neck and, arm. ". Two others were listed In ser ious condition. They were Dora Ward. 27. shot in the bead, and Martin Lyon, S3, shot in the right side. Lt. . Paul Pearcey. 60. was in fair condition. Four others were released after treatment for less serious wounds., v' -. ve foster- children who had . been placed in the Ellis home bv the welfare Department slipped out of, the house before the shoot ing started and were not harmed. Central state hospital said Ellis had been on leave for a year and a half and had been checked by .monthly reports. The hospital said his June report was the most favor able since his release. ; -i Mrs. Ellis said the trouble start ed when Ellis beat one of the foster children wards. She threatened to -call the hospital and have him: re committed, and he chased her .from the bouse. She called the hos pital and police from si neighbor's borne, then started to return home, t That was when Ellis started shooting, wounding her. She fled again, and the first police to ar rive found Ellis crouching behind a utility pole outside the house. He wounded Pearcey. The officers held their fire because there were children in the yard. ' Ellis retreated to the house and the siege began. His wife said she had no Idea where he got his shot gun, rifle and huge supply of aln- munition. Ellis kept up a heavy fire. Final ly an armored car roared up to the. back door, and three heavily armed officers leaped through the door and ended the battle. 1 "It Just had to be" that way," Mrs..-Ellis said softly when they told ber at General Hospital that her husband was dead.
