MANY CHARGES IN
A FAMILY AFFAIR
Husband Says Wife Assault
ed Him, She Says He
Tried to Kill Himself.

Following a charge b& Fra1k Ros-
sa, of the Windsor hotel. that rs
wife. MIS- Mary Rossa threw carbolic
acid in his face. and Jaobed him With
a hat pin, Saturday night, when he
came home from work, Henry Regg,
father of the woman. claims that
Rosa attempted TO commit suicide by
drinking carbolic acid. Regg claims
that the acid was accidently spilled
on Rosa when the wife grabbed the
bottle away from him.
According to Regg, Rosa bought
the acid in a drug store near the ho-
tel, where he and his wife have been
staying. He brought it home and
threatened to commit suicide. When
Mrs. Rosa grabbed the bottle it was
tipped TO his lips, according to her
version of the case. AS to the hat
pin episode Regg had nothing to say.
Rosa alleges, according to his
statement to Prosecutor Charles Ladd,
Monday. that the woman had been GO
ing around with other men, arousing
his jealousy. Rossa was arrested in
the spring for association with an al
legged immoral woman. The case
against him, it is understood. was dis
missed. Rosa says his wife threat
ened to kill him and the woman. ac-
cording to her father alleges that on
numerous occasions, her husband told
her he was going to drink carbolic
acid.
The Rossas were married last
March. 1t is said that Rosa has been
charged on one occasion with wife
desertion, but the case against him
was dismissed because of insufficient
evidence.
When he reported the case to the
authorities, Rosa claI>ed he did not
want to get a divorce but wanted as
surance that his wife would not at
tack him with hat pins and acid. No
action has been taken by Prosecutor
Ladd, but there will be an invesuga-
ton.

CRAzEO BY HURTS
He SOUGHT DEATH
And Victim of the Wreck
Near Dublin, May New

terribly maimed as result of a
wreck when the second section OF

crazed with the agony OF his injuries

train was made up. He was uncom-
municative, however. and little atten-
t!on was paid him by the regular
members OF the crew. II was abso-
luteiy impossible TO identify him after
his partly cremated body had been re.
moved from the wreckage and 1t is
possible his identity will continue a
mystery. unless the efforts which
Coroner A. l.. Bramkamp is making
are successful. He has written the
stock yards people and to the con-
signee OF the stock.
The crew on the first section had
warning In time to jump and saved
themselves. excepting slight bruises
and strained muscles. However, the
stockman was caught In the crash but
not killed outright. The caboose
caught on fire from the stove in It.
There were one or two cries for help
and then nothing more was heard.
As soon as the fire had been extin-
guished his body was found, mass
Of charred bones and burned flesh,
entirely unrecognizable. Previous to
the wreck the man had been asleep
in the caboose bunk.
The first section OF the train stop

sent to the rear to warn the second
section. The engineer en- the ap-
