Last night the same Frenchman, whose name Is
Louis Larome shot the other pary-hs alleged rival
in the breast with revolver, at the house mo. PIG
William street, of the woman whose love was in dis-
pute between them. The shot produced very dan
gerous if not fatal wound The name of the unfortu-
naie man is Pedro A OIzoH, Italian about % years
of age. The woman's name is Susan Hess. She is
about % years of age, and has four children two Of
whom are with her and the others with her husband
in the South.
II appears that Larome, who s a Frenchman, and
about 40 years of age was for some time on intimate
terms with hrs He's, but was discarded when Orzoli
began paying his attentions.
Mrs He's GAYS he has followed her about, and that
be says be loves her but that he is crazy fellow and
sbe would have nothing to do with him. He had lived
with her and been in her employ for three years. had
assisted her in washing and ironing clothing she being
a laundress. When he became acquainted with her he
was without means, but being unable to obtain any
employment he assisted her in her duties Since then
re obtained other employment, when she alleges that
he wanted to domineer her. for which reason she
compelled him to leave and told him she would have
nothing more to do with him. She says that since then
he has annoyed her less and has followed her
about the streets wherever she went.
Yesterday Orzoli and Jarome met twice, and both
occasions words of hoftle character passed between
them. The second time was about 5 O'Clock in the
afternoon at No. 2l6 William street, whittier Larome
had followed Mira Hess; Ozol being already in the
apartment. 0rzoli asked him what he wanted, when
Larome, without replying suddenly drew pistol from
his coat pocket and fired at Orzol, the shot taking
effect in the breast Larome then made his escape from
the house. and several hours elapsed before his where
about was ascertained.
The report of the pistol and the loud screams of Mrs
Hess soon brought the neighbors to the spot, and
caused the most intense excitement in the vicinity The
FOurthWard police were notified of the affair and took
charge of the premises. Medical attendance
mOned but the prec4rous condition of Orzo precluded
the possibility of bis immediate removal. During the
evening DR.. Salanne succeeded in extracting the ball.
which was deeply lodged in the chest 1t is extremely
pOubtfu whether Orzoli will survive bis Injuries.
About O'Clock in the evening Officer Allen, of the
Fourth Ward, found Larome at a low beer-shOp, and
took him in custody. He does not deny shooting Or
zoh Mrs. Hess also apprehended, and locked up
asa witness. Her dagueTeotype was found in box
belonging to the accused. AZ the StatiOnHouse she
WAS asked if Larome had lived with her, but she
replied in the negative and seemed quite indignant at
the thought Of being accused of such thing. She is
rather good-looking woman tastefuny dressed
and speaks very fast. Her manner was indicative of
fast woman, and thought very lightly of the whole
matter.
Larome has wild and excited appearance, and
might be set down for a crazy During the inter-
view between the accused and the injured many hard
words have passed but Orzo has paid any heed
10 Larome's frequent threats.
