TO DEATH,
HUSBAND DYING
INJURIES CAUSED BY BLAZING
OIL FATAL
Mrs. Katherine Mcintyre of Watts
Meets Terrible Fate-Last
Thought for Safety of
Her Spouse

A woman dead, fatally burned while
caring for her invalid husband VINO
has been brought to deaths door by
the shock of his wifes terrible fate,
kind-hearted neighbors caring for the
stricken man in his little shack near
Watts, is the pathetic result OF fre
in the souples home Saturday.
Mrs Katherine Mcintyre died Sun
day morning shortly after midnight as
a result of burns sustained while get
ting breakfast Saturday for herself and
her husband.
DIR. Mcintyre had been practicing
physician in the state of Washington
but his health was poor and he and
his wife decided that he would be bet
ter if they should come to the climate
of Southern California. Accordingly
he wound UP his practice and they
made their home in Watts four years
ago.
His health improved, but the malady
which gripped him was past hope, and
for some time he had been compelled
to fight it in bed. His wife faithfully
gave him all possible care, and cheered
him up with a smiling face, though her
heart was always heavy with the fear
of losing him.
She was preparing the breakfast
Saturday morning when the oil stove
went out, since she had overlooked fill
1ls l.
and there was no danger, Mrs. Nc
Intyre hurriedly obtained the can to
refill the tank.
Her husband, half doing in the adj
joining room, was startled by her
Shrek.
Save yourself!" she cried. I'm on
fire.
Weak as he was DR.. Mcintyre has
tened to his wife's assistance and sue
ceeded in smothering the flames. But
her solicitude to keep him from worry
had delayed rescue until she was
burned from head to foot. Trembling
and almost out of his mind, DR.. Nc
Intyre pulled himself together and used
his physicians instinct to give him
strength to dress his wife's injuries.
After he had given her the best care
he could, utilizing the medicine case
which had so long missed the daily
routine of doctors trips, he managed
to call assistance from neighbor's
house.
When his help was no longer needed
and he saw his wife in good hands DR..
Mcintyre collapsed, and 1t Is feared
that the skill of brother physicians who
came quickly to his aid will not avail
to hold him to this life, separated from
the wife who so lovingly cared for him.
Mrs. McIntyre's body was brought to
Los Angeles yesterday and the funeral
services will be conducted at 2 O'Clock
this afternoon at the Connell chapel,
1851 South Grand avenue.

DEMOCRAT VOTE
IN MAINE SHOWS
GREAT INCREASE
REPUBLICANS WIN BY VERY
LOW PLURALITY
OTHER SIDE GAINS 80 PER CENT
OVER 1904
FernaId Carries State for Governor
Over Gardner-Victory Deadened
by Enormous Growth of
Democracy
[Bx Associated Press. ]

N ORTLAND. Me-, Sept. 14.-Al-
though the Republicans came off
a victorious in the state election
today, Bert M. Fernald of Portland
being chosen governor over Obediah
Gardner of Rockland. the Democras
had the satisfaction or seeing the nor
NAL Republican plurality cut to less
than 5000 votes for the first time in q
presidential year for more than quar-
ter of a century.
All four Republican candidates for
congress were elected and Tor state
auditor Charles p. Hatch OF Augusta
Republican, defeated his opponent.
Returns for governor from 460 out OF
519 cities, towns and plantations give
Fernald, Republican, Till; Gardner
Democrat, 64,62S. Same places in 1904
gave Cobb, Republican, 74,419; Davis
Democrat, 49,14l.
This shows a Republican loss of
per cent and a Democratic gain or ~
per cent. On this basis the Republican
plurality, it was estimated, would DC
about 5000.
The result showed not only the
warmth of the contest, but the popu-
larity of Mr.. Gardner, whose fame as
the head of the state grange, Patrons
of Industry, proved great vote
gamer.
On the Defensive
The Republicans were on the de-
fensive throughout the campaign, seek
ing to hold the state by the usual plu-
rality by answering the various Dem
ocratic arguments, which were mainly
for resubmission of the prohibitory
law, taxation of the wild lands and re-
form. But little was said of national
issues.
The Republicans strongly defended
the so-called Sturgis law and invited
the voters to support its stringent
methods in the enforcement of the
cause of prohibition.
Nearly 100000 voters went to the
polls, a number which was within a
few thousand of the record for the
state.
The Democrats gained over four
years ago in nearly every county and
city. although some of the municipali-
ties which went Democratic two years
ago returned to the Republican fold
today. Congressman Allen Burleigh
John G. Swaysey and Frank e. Guern-
sey (Republican) are elected.
The next legislature undoubtedly viii
be Republican,

days, including waists at $125 and $135
each, and a suit at $140. Payments

MURDER CASE
MAN LAST SEEN WITH La
RQCCA MISSING
Police Search for 3. ManeIa. House
Painter, Who Has Disap-
peared Since Night
of Crime

Benedetto Manella, q house painter,
who until last Saturday night lived at
212o East Ninth street, is being sought
by the police of Los Angeles and neigh
boring cities and will ii found be given
an opportunity to tell what he knows
about the murder of Giuseppe La
Rocca, who Was found Saturday night
with twenty-five stab wounds In his
body.
Manella is known to have been the
last person seen with La Rocca before
his death, and Manella has disappeared.
These two reasons are sufficient to ac-
count for the police activity and their
desire TO find Manella, though 1t Is said
they have more damaging evidence
against Manella than the mere fact OF
his disappearance and his association
with the murdered man.
La Rocca was dining with his friend
Catalano at 1918 East Ninth when Ma
nella tapped on the window. La Rocca
went outside and moment later re-
turned and told Catalano that he would
have to leave. He was found dead q
few hours later.
Theory of Vendetta
The theory of the Sicilian vendetta
was more generally accepted at police
headquarters yesterday than the orig
inal conclusion that the death of La
ftOCCd NdS OiAS VI tAAC etACSAeASS -
ecuted by the Black Hand for the ex-
tortion of money The police are now
searching as well as they can the past
history OF La Rocca, both in this coun-
try and Sicily, and endeavoring to
learn the relations between Manella
and La Rocca.
Detectives who visited the Manella
home yesterday found two women, one
of them very old From neither could
they elicit much information. 1t is
said Manella's wife has fed the city,
presumably with her husband.
1t is the general opinion in police cir
cles that Manella will be apprehended
in the next twenty-four hours, as his
description has been published and
copies of his photograph sent to the
chiefs of police of neighboring cities.
Manella, who like La Rocca is a Sicl-
liam, is described as follows:
Thirty years old, five feet five inches.
light blue eyes, hair chestnut and
slightly curly; blonde mustache. build
stocky we'll dressed, wore brown suit
and dark derby when last seen.
Joe La Rocca, the son, was at police
Headquarters for several hours yester-
day and was closeted with Paul Flam-
mer captain of detectives. A little
while later Detectives Mcnamara and
Home were sent out again on the case
to follow up some of the information
furnished by the son. All efforts viii
now be directed toward finding Ma
nella.
