me-, DO you think l did wrong? He
drove me to 1t. Now can they blame
me? He wanted to drive me into a life
OF shame.
"It all came over me in a moment
and then l shot him."
The detective quieted the woman as
much as it was possible to do and
gently took the revolver away. Then
he got at her story systematically
Dominick Graziano. "a years old, was
the man she had shot, she said. She
was his wife Rosa. The shooting was
done while he was in bed at 6S Adams
street. where they were rooming on
the fourth floor. She had fired one
shot and then made her escape.
1t was not a nice story in its de-
tails. He was journeyman barber,
and she met him while he was prac-
tising his trade. They were married
on March 4, last, by a priest. She
was very much in love with the young
barber. who was good looking fell
low, and her brother. Antonio, appear
ed to look with favor on it for he gave
her dot of 5000.
The young bride-she is only 1S
and very much of girl-brought the
little fortune" to her husband with
great pride, telling him that with this
they could start their housekeeping
But the barber had thought out a
different scheme of life.
When once the money was in his
hands it took on far greater import
ance in his eyes than his handsome
wife. She was only the means to an
end. He forget about his trade, lived
life of idleness and was not bit
backward about digging into the little
pile his wife had turned over to him.
The Money Gone
She saw 1t diminish and still they
were not keeping house. Then there
came a day when not a cent of the
5000 was left. So the furniture, such
as there was Of it, was sold, and the
proceeds enabled the barber to live
his life of idleness little longer.
The young woman told Inspector
Flood that when the last dollar was
gone and there was no longer any,
thing to sell the barber suggested that
she go out on the streets and earn
more. She added that she told him
she would rather die than do that
After that it was a cat and dog
life they led. They moved to the
place where the shooting occurred yes
terday morning. rear tenement A
relative of the BARRIERS lived there,
but this relative is away in the coun-
try.
The young bride told Inspector
Flood that her husband beat her be-
cause she refused to listen to his sug-
questions. He even drew knife on
her, she declared.
After night of trouble he renewed
the quarrel and beat her once more.
Then. she says, she caught up his re-
volver from under his pillow, shoot
ing him under the arm when he was
not looking.
The Wife's Shot.
Persons in the house heard the shot
and soon after saw Mrs. Graziano
run down the stairway into the street.
She turned into Front street and they
thought she had gone to the ferry. AS
matter fact she went to the home
of her brother Antonio, in Hoyt street,
to seek his advice.
He told her that she had better go
to the police and surrender herself,
and she did, having Travelled mile
and a half through the streets with
the revolver, between the scene of the
shooting and the police court.
The girl told Inspector Flood that
her maiden name was Rosa Orecch-
into. She is very striking looking,
with luxuriant black hair done up in
a braid. good figure and slim waist.
She wore red skirt, a white waist,
hut no hat
