t'He grabbed me by the throat. He was a bigger man than I. I had to shoot to defend myself This is the statement made by Napoleon Bisson- nette machinist, of 1925 Seaview ave- nue, who shot and killed his brother in-law, Rome F.. Demery, single, pro- prietor of a cigar and news store at 1926 Pembroke street, who lived at 276 Brooks street with his widowed mo- ther, Mrs F1vira Demery, aged 80 years, at Bissonnette's home last even- ing, about 7:3O o'clock. to Detective George H. Arnold, George Fox and Patrolman Arthur L. Prout, after his arrest.
 Bissonnette was charged with mur- der in the first degree in the city court this morning. Prosecuting At torney Alexander Delaney asked for a continuance until Tuesday, which was granted. No bail was allowed.

She QO6S nOC kIlOW IIdL the shot was fatal. Attorney George Kane has been retained to defend Bis sonnette.
 The cause of the trouble can be told in a few words. MT. and Mrs. B1sson- nette had been married 25 years and have had B children. There has been constant friction between the man and wife. Some say the husband is en- tirely to blame, others say not. At any rate the husband has not provided for his family. Prosecuting Attorney Delaney said this morning: He is the kind of a man who would let his fam fly starve and Haunt a roll of bills In their faces. He has the makeup ot fellow who would get a slice Of beeI steak ard eat it all while his children and wife went hungry This is no exaggeration for Bissonnette has had the money to provide for his family It he would He has been employed at the Singer Sewing Machine company for many years. He was arrested short time ago for non-supporC, but the court nolled the charge.
 A S1O bill was found on him when ne was arrested last night, but his wife was without care and nourishment which she needed.
 Bissonnette had ordered his oldest son. Camille out of the house, and also his oldest daughter, Albertlna. i Camille is now on his way to Call
