BULLET INTENDED FOR THE
WIFE OF AN ITALIAN CAUSES
A PROBABLE FATAL WOUND.
A Norristown (Pa.) despatch, under
date OF August 10, contains the follow
ing account OF an attempted murder by
a Wilmington man:
Joseph Julien, aged so years. OF VIII
mingtOn, Del, shot and probably IA
tally wounded John Martin, aged 3S
years, Of this city, yesterday.
The cause OF the trouble arose from
Mrs. Julien's refusal to come home
with her husband. She and her daugh-
ter have resided with her son Tony at
the corner OF Main and Barbados
streets, where Tony has had a cobbler
shop for several years.
They occupied the house in the rear
OF the store, and Martini who was en-
ployed by Tony, lived with them. Mrs.
Julien told her husband. when he
came for her that she had a better
home with her son than she would
have with him, which made him very
angry, and he threatened to do her
bodily harm II she did not return with
him Immediately.
Mrs. julien gave her husband TO un-
derstand that she did not intend to
live with him again. which made him
so angry that he pulled a 3S-calibre
revolver from his pocket, and, taking
deliberate aim, fred.
The bullet missed his intended vic
tim, who was only burned by the pow
der and struck Martini, who had Just
entered the room, inflicting danger
Gus wound in the abdomen.
Mrs. julien fed into the street, and
Martini fell to the floor, writhing in
agony. Julien then ran to the yard.
still having the smoking pistol in his
hand.
Tony, followed his father into the
yard, and a desperate fight ensued be-
tween the two for the possession of
the revolver, which the would-be
murderer still held in his hand.
The son, being inferior in strength
was being roughly handled, when
neighbOrs interfered and Julien was
taken into custody.
Martini was removed the Charity
Hospital Cor treatment. and, although
being conscious when he was admitted
to the institution. he did not make any
statement. The wound is undoubtedly
fatal.
