SHOOTING AFFRAY
 AT NEW LONDON.

Gentirino Menghi is dead from bull let wounds in the body and Frank Shandeor is unconscious with bull let wound in his head as the result of a shooting affray at 6 o'clock last night in New London. The trouble was over the affections of Josephine Schandeor, 20 years old, a clerk in a store in this city. In order to get his rival, Menghi, out of the way the friends of the murdered man say that Diminick Lui, a barber, hired two members of the Mafia to come up from Brooklyn and do the shooting. Men ghi was sitting in his home when two strange Italians entered and soon after several shots were heard. It is also said that another Italian on the outside of the house thought to have been Iui shot at Menghi through a window. Menghi was killed almost instantly. Shandeor who was outside but probably not one of those who fired, was shot In the head. Immedi- ately after the shooting the two stranger Italians ran away. The po- lice sent out alarms to nearby cities and about 8 o'clock the Norwich po- lice saw two Italians in the railroad yards. One was arrested, but the other made off.
