SHE LAUGHED At HIS LOVE.
Manuel Angelo Tries to Kill
His Idols Husband.
A Fierce Struggle in Filbert-street Lodging
House-The infatuated Lover Charged
With Assault to Murder.

Manuel Angelo, barber, OF 730 Filbert
street knows how 10 make a fool of himaeif.
He has had several months experience,
and will probably have abundant leisure ia
which TO mediate upon the fruits Of his
folly in prison cell.
Manuel has welded razor with more or
less skill during the past six months In
''tonsorial emporium" on Montgomery ave.
nue.. He is a swarthy little fellow. with
coal-black hair and eyes, and, although 81
Jealous in his employers interest, found
time 10 fall in love.
Unfortunately for Manuel, the lady of his
choice was married when his amorou5 eye
fell upon her,
She was not only married. but she loved
her husband. and at first regarded ManuePs
plainly avOwed affection as good joke,
over which she and her husband, middle
aged gentleman, laughed heartily.
Mrs. L. Van Beal is the name Of the lady
that iufianIed the BARRIERS heart with un-
hallowed love. She and her husband, who
is man of some means, occupied floor in
the house at 730 Filbert street.
Six months ago the barber rented a room
in the house, and two months ago be began
to tell the story OF his love to Mrs. Van
Beal
She told her husband. and complained
that the infatuated raZor-wielder annoyed
her.
Van Beal took the barber into secluded
place and gave him TO understand that his
nonsense would no longer be tolerated.
This was benZine upon the troubled fire
that burned in Manuel Angeles heart.
He loved Mrs. Van Beal, who is
spTghtly lady of %, all the harder, and last
night determined TO bring matters to
crisis.
After the Van Beals had retired he went

thrown out OF a window.
Manuel Angelo refused TO go. and Van
Beal came out and grasped him by the
shoulders with view to throwing him
down the stairs. The struggle was short
and furious. The barber's shirt was torn
into shreds aud he was forced to yield. He
pulled himself out of his antagonists hands
and drew large revolver. In a moment
the muZzle OF the weapon was against Van
Bea's breast
AS Angelo touched the trigger Van Beal
struck the pistol down and tile bullet passed
through the fieshy part of his thigh. The
report of the pistol attracted a crowd OF
people to the house, among whom was OH
Ger Hall.
He arrested the amorOus barber and Van
Beal was taken to the Receiving Hospital,
where his wound. which is painful but not
serious, was dressed.
Angelo was booked at the City Prison for
assault to murder.
Angeles story of the affair differs in every
detail from Van Besl's narrative, which is
given above. He says Van Beal is adj
dicted to drink and is subject to fits of tenn
porary insanity. He had such an attack
last night, and entered Angelo's room for
the purpose of obtaining his revolver, which
was in a bureau drawer.
Angelo, divining his purpose. snrang out

tried to wrest it from him, and while they
were struggling the contents of one of the
chambers was discharged.
Angelo will claim that the shooting was
