Great Darlington, Mass, March "A
fatal shooting affair took place in the

Valley, about five miles east of Great
Darlington Saturday night. In this Sc
Guided section Sylvester Love and Luigi
Carddeli, an italian, had serious en-
counter, and Mr.. Love is now in Sc
rious condition with two bullet wounds
in his body, and the Italian is dead.
Early in the evening Mr. Love and
his son started for Great Darlington,
and when near the Van Deusenville
trolley crossing, Carddeli was seen GO
ing toward the home of Love. The APP
pearance of this man going toward his
home made Love suspicious, SO he told
his son to 20 to Great Darlington and
do the Saturday trading and that he
would return home. He followed the
Italian along the road, and as he APP
preached his home, the Italian discov-
cred that he was being followed. Mr.
Love hurried up and overlook the man
and an argument followed.
The argument resulted in Carddeli's
dra wing revolver and shooting Mr.
Love twice, once in the chest and again
in the shoulder. Mr.. Love, who is a
powerful man, was able to gain posses
sion Of the revolver. He then shot the
Italian twice. one bullet entering the
head and the other the side. Mr.. Love
then managed to get TO the home of
Charles Comgtock, and from there Chief
OF Police Oschman OF Great Darlington
and DIR. J. y. Bugbee were summoned.
They hurried to the place and found
Mr. Love in a very serious condition.
Tie Italian was found dead in Loves
house where il is supposed he was
carried BY Mrs. Love.
Chief of Police Oschman was accom-
panied to the Love home by Deputy
Sheriff Truesdell and when they ar
rived they found the front door locked.
but the back door was opened. While
0Schman was trying to get into the
house. Truesdel looked under the win
dow curtain aud saw a man lying on
the floor. The men entered the house
and found that this was the body Of
tho Italian. His oyercoat and coat had

from his face
Oschman found that Mrs. Love had
Revolver Is Found.
Oschman found that Mrs Love had
started for the house of one OF the neigh

conflicting statements at first, but later
to the officers that she
had separated the men at the time of
tie shooting After the officers had
searched for the revolver the woman
told them that she had hidden il in
the attic. The officers, following her
found it placed between the
and the inner wall OF the
house. Mrs. Love claimed she hid the
revolver because her husband had threat
ened her after the shooting.
She admitted TO the officers that Card
deli and another Italian had been at
the house on one occasion when Mr..
Love was there, and she had no knowl-
edge of his intention to go to the house
Saturday evening.
