SHOT HIS HousEKEEPER.
Because She Had Left Him and Re-
 fused to Return.

Torrington, Oct S.-A brutal at tempt to murder Mrs, Gertrude May Mott was made this afternoon by Frank Ritche, a mill hand. who came here about year ago from New Brit ain. Mrs. Mott was former house. keeper for Rltche and she left him about a year ago to keep house for another man. For the past few weeks Mrs. Mott had been stopping at the home of John Campbell, 360 North Main street, and this afternoon Ritche went there and asked her to come back with him and again keep house for bim. She refused, and he fired at her with revolver as she was sitting in the kitchen with Mrs. Campbell. Mrs Mott fell to the floor and implor- ed Ritche not to shoot again, but he did, the second ball entering her left arm and passing into her chest lover her heart.
 The wounded woman managed to crawl out of the house and was car ried to the home of neighbor, where her wounds were dressed, Riche went out on the back porch and remained there for several moments.
 Word was sent to the. police and Chief of Police, Hull hurried to the scene of the shooting and found Ritche standing in the back yard. He had his revolver in his hand Chief Hull ordered him to drop it. but he re- fused, and the head of the depart ment said he would fire unless he did so. Fearing that he would hurt some one in the crowd that was standing behind Ritche, Chief Hull did not fire, however, but told the crowd to close in around Ritche. This they did, and when the would-be murderer found he was surrounded, he allowed Chief Hull to take him to headquarters. Ritche refused to say a word about the shooting. He is forty-five years old and the woman he shot is about forty. Jealousy is believed to have prompted the shooting.

VATICAN UNEASY
Feared That Anniversary Of Fall Of
8 Temporal Power Will Be Marked by
Anti Clerical Disturbances.

Rome, Sept. 19.-Anxiety is felt at
the vatican as to the outcome of the
tomorrow over the
thirty-seventh anniversary of the fall
of temporal power and the capture
OF Rome by the Italians. Every year
professions and demonstrations are in
dulged in, but on this occasion the
event has taken decidedly anti-cler-
ical turn, under the inspiration Of the
extremist party, and at the vatican it
is feared it may lead to serious compli-
cations.
The general feeling in vatican, cir
cles is that the whole revival of anti
clericalism is due to the direct intiu-
ence of the French enemies of the
papacy, working especially thru Free
Masonery and doing all in their power
to start in the Italian peninsula agita-
tion against the church similar to that
in France. Rome citizens in general
deprecate such a campaign and believe
the extraordinary precautions of the
government will obviate any serious
trouble.
