A picture yesterday with an article about a gun battle between a heavily armed drifter and the police in San Francisco was published in error. It showed Robert Pinckney, a bystander who was wounded, not Victor Boutwell, the gunman, who was killed.

The article also included an incorrect desciption of the gunman. That description was based on the photograph of Mr. Pinckney.

Pictures of both men appear today on page A12, with an article about Mr. Pinckney's ordeal.
