 Was Not Allowed to Ride,

Greenwich Conn, Oct 14-JeaIous, because he could not ride to and from his work in an automobile, like other workmen, Peter Won Angelo tonight opened fire with a revolver upon an automobile truck containing fifteen Worlzmen three miles from the town. One shot struck John Maroney in the neck and another just missed the chauffeur. Maroney is in hospital here in a serious condition. Won An gelo was arrested after 8 long chase.

 The shooting occurred near Ely Court, seminery, some distance from here. Von Angelo laid in wait for the automobile truck which was taking the men back to town from their days work.

Further Delay
 in Su|zer Case
NEW ARTICLE OF IMPEACHMENT
 SUGGESTED
MANAGERS DESIRE. TT
Want To Make Relevant That Testi-
 mony Whose Status Is Doubtful Would Require Action By Assembly.

Albany, N. Y, Oct 14.-The possi- bilfty of an indefinitely long delay in reaching a verdict as to the guilt or innocence of Governor William Sulzer loomed up at his trial today.
 This was suggested when counsel for the impeachment managers asked that the court recommend to the as sembly the bringing of a new article of impeachment in the event that the testimony of Duncan W. Peck, super lnEendent of public works and Henry l.. Morgenthau, ambassador to Tur- key, should be found not to be rel evant to any charge contained in the present articles.
 Disputed Point Undecided.
 Whether this testimony was rel evant to article ", which charges the governor with suppression of evidence before the Frawley Investigating committee was the subject of debate today in executive session of the court and remained undecided when ad- jorrnment was taken until tomorrow mo rning.
 At that time the executive session will be continued and on the result of the courts delib2ratior will depend the question whether it will proceed to determine the fate of the governor now or await the action of the as 'sembIy in the matter of voting the
 
 Danger of Injecting Politics Into Case
 Should the latter course be adopted, the future progress of the trial will be a matter of mere speculation.
 The.q .question would at once arise whether the necessary majority of the assembly to vote the new article could be obtained. This question, 1t was pointed out tonight, would be likely to be affected by the fact that many of the assembly who voted for the pres Crt impeachment articles would be candidates at the coming election and the probability that politics might ba injected into@ the assemb1y's action to an acute degree. The door would then he opened it was asserted, to unforce- able eventualities that might affect the present status of the case. Governor Must Have Twenty Days
 To Answer.
 Even should it be possible to muster enough votes in the assembly to adopt the new article at an early date, the-eonstitut1on requires that the gov ernor be given twenty days notice be- fore being called upon to answer. The trial would then reopen on this new charge as it was said that the testi- mony of Peck and Morgenthau now n the record would have no legal stand ing unless repeated.
 Should the court, however, decide tomorrow to include the OffenseS al- legged in the Peck and Morgenthau testimony, in article ", the case would proceed at once, it was believed tonight to it's final determination.
 The specific issue placed before the court in all day argument of counsel was whether the Peck -Morgenthau testin, ony constituted a new charge against the governor.

Many had seen their wives and children de- part In the earlier boat

The fire worked through the women's steerage to the after end of the ship, but we kept knowledge of this from the pas sengers who were quiet throughout the rest of the night.

 At 5:15 a. m. the first boat arrived. Weather and sea having moderated, boats were enabled to come alongside the ship which enabled passengers to embark quickly.

 Nothing Heard of Missing Boats.
 Nothing at all has been heard of the two missing boats. Passing yes sels were asked to keep 8 lookout for them.
 'T wish to express my heartiest thanks and gratitude to the captains of ships who stood by; also to the officers and crews who came to our assistance for their bravery and en- durance in their endeavor to come alongside the ship; also to the pas sengers of the Kroonland for their kindness to the rescued passengers, engineers and crew and myself in fitting us out and doing everything for us.

 When no more people were on board the Volturno, our boats were taken in.
 If there had been less panic at the beginning of the fire. many more could have been saved unfortunately, two boats launched from the Volturno were broken up by the seas, and it Is certain that many were drowned dur ing the night. If the crew and pas sengers had kept calm everybody might have been saved.
 The doctor, the purser and several officers of the Volturno were among the last to get into the boats, and Captain Inch was the very last to leave his ship"

 l What followed after the arrival of ! La Touraine in the vicinity of the Vol ! turno is related in a detailed report written by Captain Caussin to the ! French Transatlantic company He says:
 ineessant Cries of Terror. Lieutenant Izenic reported that up on his arrival at the side of the Vol turnO that vessel presented a frightfuI spectacle. Sine was blazing from her bow to amidships and plunging wildly ] The crew and passengers had been driven by the flames and smoke to the extreme after part. where they still uttered necessarily cries of terror. The whaleboat stood off, the crew calling to the passengers to jump into the sea when they would be taken on board None, however would jump until the TOuTaines WhalebOat was thrown by a gigantic wave against the VolturnO's side. Instantly a number jumped or slid down ropes into the boat Two who had jumped for the boat disap- pcared under the side of the Volturno as she rolled Ono man landed on a sailor in the whaleboat and injured him.
 Happily, Lieutenant Izenic was able 10 get clear of the Volturno with five have been overloaded and sunk as t was able to take only 2 few,
 Passengers Would Not Jump.
 The other Iwhaleboat, commanded by Second Captain Rousselet of the Touraine, was near the stern of the Nolturno. and it's crew were calling to the passengers to jump, but none would do so. No other boat was seen at that time near the burning ship
 Lieutenant Izenic waited to put off again from the Touraine, but I sent the second mate with fresh crew
 "Rousselet returned later with three rescued persons. All three who were brought in both boats were in a state of great exhaustion
 "Rousselet was allowed to make an- other trip in his whaleboat with fresh crew, and ' now lowered a life boat. thinking 1t might bring back 8 larger load.
 The second mate returned with seven persons he had picked up and Rousselet brought back seven others. Picked Up Women and Children from
