Arthur Shatiuck's Scheme 10
Remain In Augusta.
Shoots Out Windows So He Won't
Have to Return 10 bosto..

Rather than go back to Massachusetts,
from which state he came to this city
about three weeks ago. Arthur Shattuck
Of Bridegwater. Mass, entered tho
smoking car of train No. 2, due to leave
this city at 10.45 o'clock last night and
proceeded to shoot out as many of the
windows Of the car as he could with
HE five shots in the 32-calibre liver.
Johnson revolver he carried.
That his version of the shooting.
Others believe that he was trying 10
|slay Officer Albert Ferran, who was
Standing on the platform just outside
the car. He commenced with the win.
dow in front of which the officer was
standing and the first shot whistled bv
the officers right ear so close that he
could feel the wind of it and the broken
glass struck him on the neck The officer
started for the end of the car and as
he proceeded a bullet sang through
each of the next four windows by which
he passed.
Two men were struck by the flying
bullets, but neither of them was seri-
ously injured. One was Eugene Rowe
of Palermo. Me-, and the other was
Arthur Corey of Portland. Nc Rowe
was struck on the shoulder and Mr..
Corey received a scalp wound.
While the man was firing the revolver
Officer Ferran was hustling towards the
vestibule of the ear and the passen-
gers were hustiing to safer locality.
AS the officer attempted to 60 up the
steps of the car it was necessary for
him to pull out by force two men who
were blocking the passageway in the
vestibuie in their efforts to make a hur-
ried exit from the car
AS soon as he could get into the car
;he otiver INQUIRED who had fired the
s!io, and Shattuck at once remarked
that he had and offered to go to the
station without giving trouble. ,
On arrival at police headquarters
ShattGck said that he had come to Au-
gusta about three weeks ago from
Bridgewater. Mass. and that yesterday
hai mother and small brother. Ray. had
arrived in the city and importuned him
to return home. He had finally yielded
to their pleadings and consented to go
back TO Massachusetts. although to do
so was much against his inclination, as
he liked this city and wished to re-
main here.
They were to have returned to
on the train on which he
created the excitement His mother
aad brother were in one of the coaches
when he entered the smoker, and as he
got aboard he conceived the idea that
nc would be unable to return to Massa-
chusetts if he shot a window out OF
the car. as the police would take o.
n&nd and prevent his leaving the city.

Washington. Nov. 22-Tbe defence
in the trial Of Mrs. Annie NJ. Bradley.
charged with the murder Of former
Senator Grown Of Utah. in this city
last December, today endeavored 10
strengthen its plea of insanity by in
Producing expert testimony on this sub
jcct.
Several alicniSts Of note We're present
expecting to take the stand daring ;hr
day. among them Dr. Britton ID. Evans
medical director Of the New Jersey
State Hospital for the Insane; DR.
Chas. G.. Hill of Baltimore, and DR.
Wilfred NJ. Barton. professor Of gyne-
cology in Georgetown University. Al
though il is not claimed that Mrs.
Bradley is now insane. thes" experts
will be called to show that for some
time previous and ON the date of the
tragedy, Mrs. Bradley was mentally
irresponsible. caused by the several
operations and by the many wrongs
which Brown is alleged to have heaped
upon her, eliminating in his change OF
heart.
As the case progresses interest in ii
increases. Long before the doors to
the court room We're opened this morn
ing a crowd of men and women had
collected on the outside waiting an OPP
portunity to hear some of the teSti-
mony and get a glimpse of the frail
little woman who has achieved 50 much
notnrietv.
Mrs. Bradley's appearance, which
was as usual. in advance Of the in
coming Of Judge Stafford. was the sig
nal for the craning of necks. She look
ed much worn. as if she had had Il
sleepless night. She took her ac-
customed seat back of Former Judge
Powers and after few words with
him, turned to the reading Of her mail.
She frightened up when Assistant At
torney General Arthur r. Barnes of
Salt Lake City resumed the stand and
she followed him closely, seeming much
affected when he related interviews
with her concerning Brown
Barnes said he had told Mrs. Brad
lev. after a conversation with Senator
Brown. that it was his opinion that
Brown did not intend % marry her.
