Fall River Wife Murderer Es-
capped the Officers.
Chabot's Remains Found on Bottom
Of Watuppa Pond.
Hands Grasping Old Exhaust Pipe, 20
Feet from Shore.

Fall River. Mass, March 1S.-Ali
Speculation and theorizing over the
disappearance of Amedee d. Chabot
for whom the police had been searching
since yesterday morning upon the
charge of numbering his wife Angela,
were brought to an end, this afternoon,
by the finding of the body in the North
Watuppa pond by Detectives Shea and
Connolly, who had been searching the
shores of the pond on Il suicide theory.
Chabot was believed by many to have
gone to Canada and officers had been
dispatched there to follow UP clue
thought to have been furnished by Il 81
bill covered with blood which was pre-
scented at the Fall River railroad sta
ton. early Tuesday morning, in pay
ment for IL ticket to Boston.
The officers had proceeded as far as
Nashua. N. H., today, where they were
pursuing their Investigations. Detec-
tives Shea and Connolly, however, be
lieved that ChabOt had made way with
himself and. this afternoon, We're
searching the shores of the North Wa
tuppa pond, when their attention was
ATTRACTED by an OVercOat and sackcOat
on the shore. About 20 feet away UNI
der the water, the body was found. IT
was in d crouching position with both
hands grasping an old exhaust pipe
which runs some distance out into the
pond.
The police believe the man committed
suicide early Tuesday morning, the
morning on which the body of his wife
was discovered and that before going
out into the pond he took Il large dose
of Paris green. No weapon with which
the murder of his wife might have
been committed was found upon his
person.

reached here of a desperate battle be-

reservation, ten miles south of Holbrook,
in which Henry Barrett was killed and
Prime Coleman was probably fatally

Only meager reports are obtained, but
1t appears that the men became involved
in a dispute over their respective graz
ing permits on the reservation which are
only issued at times and are of great
value, only a limited number of cattle
being allowed on. the reservation.
A duel with six-shooters followed, in
which Barrett received three wounds in
the abdomen, from which he died within
few minutes after. the shooting. Cole
man was hot thru both thighs and was
badly bruised about the head by blows
from Barrett's six shooter. Barrett is
still alive, but there is little hope for his
recovery.
