ATTEMPTED MURDER.
Brooklyn Woman Shot Twice by a
Daughter of Italy


Daughter of Italy.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1s-The police reserves
Of Brooklyn were tonight searching the
swamps and fields around Bath Beach for
Antoinette Dellamotta, a young Italian
woman. who fired two shots at Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Marvin, both of which took effect.
Mrs. Marvin was taken to the Norwegian
Hospital in a critical condition.
At the time the shots were fired Mrs.
Marvin was holding baby in her arms. 1t
is thought this saved her life, as the Ital-
ian woman did not want to kill the child
and fired low. The shooting occurred at
the home of Mrs. Margaret Stone, where
Mrs. Marvin called to engage Mrs Stone
to do washing. Two months ago Mrs
Marvin had dispossessed the Delamotta
woman from fiat she owned and the Ital-
ian believed Mrs. Marvin was responsible
for il. When Mrs. Marvin entered the
house the Delamotta woman approached
her and, drawing a revolver from the folds
of her dress, said: Now, I'll settle with
you. III save your child. but you are going

She fired twice, aiming below the feet of
the baby in Mrs. Marvin's arms, and Mrs
Marvin sank to the floor. The Italian
woman then fed

alleged widow and Administrative of the es-
tate of Reginald Duvall, who was killed
last spring in a freight wreck on the South
ern Railway near English, will be settled
tomorrow in the Dubois Circuit Court at
Jasper when the question of whether she or
Mrs NJ. Z. Duvall, mother of Reginald Du-
vail, shall act as administrators will be ar
gued. Duvall was a fireman and was caught
under his engine. The two women have
each filed suit for $4,000 damages against
the company. Flora c. Duvall, as she al
leges her name to be, the widow of Du-
vail, was formerly Miss Flora Chamberlain.
Her mother conducts boarding house
where Duvall boarded and met Miss Cham
berlain. The day after he was killed Miss
Chamberlain claimed she had been married
to him several weeks before the accident
which caused his death. She applied for
letters of administration in the Dubois Cir
cult Court. and Mrs. NJ. Z. Duvall was ap-
pointed adminitratrix in the Jefferson Cir
cult Court in Louisville. Several weeks ago
the deposition of Flora Duvall concerning
her marriage to DuvalI taken. Mrs.
NJ. Z. Duvalls attorney, Matt O'Doherty,
warned her that If she swore she was the
wife of Reginald Duvall she would do so at
her peril. and that he stood ready to prove
she had never been married to him. The
deposition was taken, however, and will
figure in the trial at Jasper tomorrow.

WHITECAP CASE N0LLIED
NO PROSECUTION FOR THE HOPPER
wHITECAPPING AT BLOOMINGTON.
Alleged Victims Now Deny Their
Former Story-Shively Case Also
Likely tn he Stricken Out.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Oct. 1S.-The
Hopper whitecapi case has been dismissed
by the State, there being no evidence at
hand to convict. On the night of April IL
last, it is alleged, a mob of men went to
the home of Mrs. Hopper. who then lived
about three miles north of town, and took
her and her son William out of the house
and whipped them. On information re-
ceived from the victims at the time Pros
ecutor Miller filed affidavits against john
b. Peters, Andrew Hendricks, John Hen
bricks, Alonzo Shaw and A. Ramage. 1t
was said that in a short time the alleged
victims repudiated their former statements
and denied that they were whitecapped at
all. There was nothing left for the prose-
cutor TO do but to dismiss the case.
The case for the whitecapping of the
negro Shively against six men of this city
on the night of April &c is still on the
docket. In this case also Prosecutor Miller
flied affidavits on information given by the
victim, but 1t Is said that he now repudi-
ates his former statements. Shively hav-
ing made an affidavit, now in the hands of
the defense, that he was not whipped, and
he did not recognize any of the men now
under arrest. 1t is evident this case will
never be tried, for the same reasons as the
first case, though it is on the docket for

The Council also refused to make an ap-
