MASON HEARTBRoKEN.
Han Who shot Labec Girl Says He
Feels bad About n.

Lubeo, November f.-Mlas jennie
Griffin. the young woman who was shot
several times while az her work In the
factory OF the New England Sardine COM
pany here last evening. was resting quite
comfortably this forenoon, but her
alleged assailant, William Mason, who IL
suffering from a SELF inflicted wound In
the breast Is not so fortunate. His con.
dition Ia regarded ~ serious, and It il
feared that blood poisoning Will develop
in his case.
Physicians this morning removed the
bullets from the bodies OF both the
sufferers II was found that the ball
which entered Mason's breast and lodged
In the left shoulder. split ON striking the
breast bone, causing q badly iaoerated
internal wound In which even the great
est care may not be abe. to prevent blood
poisoning.
A further examination Of Miss Griffin
made this morning showed that she was
struck by three bullets instead OF two as
was at first thought. The last wound
found, however, was q slight one in the
right side Of the abdomen, and 1t Is sup
posed this was made by the bullet hrsd
at Everett Newman. This ball after
woundins Miss Grimm, passed into pile
Of sardine boxes ana stopped at point
just one foot In front OF where Agnes
Enos sat at table. Had the boxes not
been just where they were Miss Enos
would have received the ball In the
breast.
Miss tirifin talked quite freely about
the case this morning, saying she knew
Mason had the revolver hs he showed it
to her several days ago and told her that
it would not be we'll for her to talk any
more to zone or two fellows"
Mason, the assaiiant, seems almost
heartbroken over whatsshe has done. He
said today that he had no intention OF
shooting Miss Griffin. He loved her
dearly, he said, but was jeslous and
wished to giva>her fright.
Mason Is still at the home of Job STAN
ley. with whom he boarded, and is kept
under close surveillance by an officer.
