POLICE SLOW IN TAKING ACTION

William Fontneau, the man who
shot his wife at the Follett place,- in
Attleboro, yesterday morning, has
not been captured as yet. and one OF
the attending physicians says the
town authorities were slow i'm taking
action in the matter. DR.. Mackie
thinks that Fotneau would have been
captured had the police acted imme-
diately after being notified, but Il was
several hours before any steps were
taken 10 apprehend the murderous as
sailant.
Nearly a score of men spent the night
searching the woods and swamps about
the Follett and old Thayer farms for
Fontneau, but they found no traces.
Searches have been conducted I'm all
nearby towns and cities where he was
known to have friends and at places
frequented by him, but no one has seen
him since he left the room where he
attacked his wife. The police think he
is still i'm hiding.
They do not think he had sufficient
funds 10 get any great distance On
the day before the affair he had some
thing less than 81 in his possession.
Mrs. FOntneau was living at noon to-
day. but the doctors say she is liable
to die at any moment. They have given
up all hope of her recovery.
