Actor Walter Benn, of the Wonderland
Stock Company; Attempts to
Murder His Wife.
Special TO the Scranton Tribune.


ARCHIBALD. Pa, June 14.-Walter
Benn, player Of light parts in the
Wonderland stock company, esssyed
the role of IA heavy villain in Archibald
this afternoon aud attempted to shoot
mis- wife, who is known on the stage as
Miss Grsce Contoit. He WAS poor
marksman, for instead of shooting her
he shot Miss Ethel Fuller, another
member Of the same company.
The Wonderland company went to
Archibald few days ago and are stop
ping at the Mansion House at that
place. Benn, who is rather morose at
times, Notwithstanding his mirthful
occupation, had some real or fancied
grievance against his wife and threat
eded to shoot her on several occasions.
Yesterday, while nnder the influence Of
one of his moody spells and some
thing of moIe material nature,
he attempted TO put his threats into
execution. He went to his wife's room
where shs was sitting with Miss Fuller
and began shooting. The wife ran out
OF the room but the villain still pur-
sued her aud fired five shots after her.
Ohe Of the balls struck Miss Fuller
under the left shoulder blade and spent
its force. on one Of her ribs. The other
four balls entered the walls of the
building.
TIE report of the shots attracted the
attention Of Mr.. CafFrey, the proprie-
tor of the hotel. and NJ. G. Melvin,
whose business place is opposite. They
mad hard tussle with Benu, but fin.
ally succeeded in taking the revolver
from him and escorted him to Jail. Dr..
Van Doren was sent for and removed
;he ball from Miss Fuller's side. Her
injuries are not considered dangerous.
Sue was. however, unable to appear on
the stage last evening.
The bullet WAS from a 90 calibre re-
volver Of the Smith 6 Wesson make.
Benn is in the borough jail at this
writing.
