Her Husband Supposed to be Dead in tho
House She Guards with shotgun.
Hartford. Conn. Sept 25.-The authorities
OF East Hartford are preparing to break into
the house OF Ferdinand RRgi. which is barrl-
caded and guarded by Mrs ligRi with n shot
gun. II is believed that Riggi died few days
ago and that she has gone crazy and is keeping
the body in the house. Several persons have
been threatened by her and one or two tell OF
being shot at when they tried to gain entrance
TO discover tho exact situation.
The barricade was put up several days ago, at
which time notice written partly in German
and partly in Italian appeared on the gate
post. II Is evidently the work OF an unbalanced
mind and according to the best translation
that can be secured 1t tells OF a terrible
calamity lowering over the Riggi family. 1t
begs God for protect on and asks that all the
township intercede in its behalf with the
divine power by prayer.
, Nobody has spoken to tho occupants OF the
house since they first went into retreat. and as
Mrs. RiRgi is the only ono who has been seen,
the belief in RiRRis death has arisen. Some
beIleNe that he has been murdered by his in
sane wife and others that he still lives but 10
also demented. The couple are about 80 years
old AMI live In comfortable two story cottage
on the outskirts of the town. They have no
children. The authorities are undecided what
course to pursue. but some determined stop
will probably be taken tomorrow unless en-
trance can be gained by strategy.
