The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1905-11-16
AttiliO Olgiati Was 0yerpow-
cred at Girls Home
WORRIED BECAUSE JILTED
Telephoned Pretty Assunta DelShreu
That He Was Going to Call, and
So Policeman Was Called
to House.

His love spurned by pretty, sixteen
years old Assunta Del l-Sreu, Attilio o.
giati of Montpelier became goaded to
desperation and yesterday afternoon
called at the home Of her uncle, Harry
J. Beitoli, where she lived, with the
intention, the police believe, Of having
final settlement. They say that OF
giati, after a conversation with the girl,
was overpowered just as he was drawing
a revolver, by an officer who had previ-
ously been summoned, by Mr.. Bertoli,
and by two other men who happened to
be present. The unhappy man was then
placed in the county Jail
Olgiati was in Montpelier city court
today on the charge of assault with in
tent to kill and being armed with a
dangerous weapon. The case was put
over to Saturday, and it is likely that
the respondent will waive examination
and be bound over to county court.
There Is, back OF the affair, the story
Of the great love oil young man for
a pretty and viyacious Italian girl, the
partial requital of affection ON her part,
the acceptance Of tokens from him to
her, and finally the break in their reIa-
tions which drove the youth to the re-
sort to threats II she persisted in her
refusal, with the final denouement In the
police court.
Both the young people are well known
in the Italian colonies of Barre and
Montpelier, and the young man has rela.
tives in this city. He is 20 years of
age and has for some time been EN-
ployed as a stonecutter by Ryle, Nc
Cormick Il Co. He has generally been
considered q steady going, industrious
fellow. When he met Assunta, with
her pretty ways, lie lost his heart, and
from that time he was constant in his
attentions Assunta received those at
fentions Id q manner to lead the Young
man to build for himself prospects Of
a happy home Then there came up
something which caused the girl to grow
cool in her attitude toward her lover,
aud finally the cooIness became so pro-
nouneed that he saw his visits we've
not wanted Then the steel Of Jealousy
was driven into his heart
Still loving the girl, he repeatedly
wrote, each time reasserting his love,
but receiving no response. Then, the
girl says, his letters became threaten
ing, and the last one bore the ominous
signs OF the skull and cross bones. These
letters have been saved Finding that
the letters did no good, Olgiati yester-
day afternoon called the girl by tele-
phone and said that be was going to
call on her. As it was apprehended
there might be trouble, the sheriff's Office
was notified, and Deputy Lawson was
sent to Mfr. Bertoli's house at the Pion-
eer The deputy waited two hours, and
the young man did not put in an ap-
pearance. Just about as the deputy
had decided to give up for the afternoon,
0lgiati was seen coming across the field.
The officer hustled into another room,
and the girl received her caller in a
room which was within easy call.
The two conversed for some time.
and the girl turned over some jewelTy.
Then Olgiati became excited At that
time, and the police say 1t was most
opp0rtune, the deputy, MIR. Bertoli and
the two other men appeared in the room.
They made rush for 0lgiati as he made
motion which led them to believe he
was going TO draw revolver. After
considerable exertion, Olgiati was over
come and subdued. The revolver was
taken away from him. It was a 81
calibre weapon, and the bullets in the
cartridges We're cut and hacked The
weapon has been IN Olgiati's possession
for some time
One of the young mans friends said
that Attilo would never have been 30
rash If lie had not been drinking. while
Others say that there were no indiea-
tlons that he had been drinking.
