MORANa WILL SAY
 BIAFORE INSULTED
 WIPES REPUTATION
Slayer of Contractor Has Prepared to Offer This
 As His Defense
Takes Police Over Route By Which He Escaped and
 Finds Fatal Pistol

Joe Morano will claim that the mo- tive underlying his murder of Nicholas Biafore, the paving contractor, was Biafore's boast that he knew Mrs. Mo rano was a faithless wife
 Morano claims that he planned first to slay his wife and kill himself, that he armed himself for that purpose, that his anger cooled, that he went to Biafore to demand his money and the contractors refusal renewed his anger resulting in the shooting
 Arrafgned in city court today for murder in the first degree he was re- manded without bail, at the instan of the police, until Aug. 19.
 Before he was haled into the court room he accompanied Seregants Hack cit and Hall and State Policeman Vir- elli to the scene of the shooting, told how he had fled from the city and To- cated the fatal pistol which he had cemetery.
 Morano surrendered himself in Chi cago.
 When arrested he had $6 in money in his clothes, envelopes and writing paper and one address which the po- lice refuse to divulge but which the prisoner says bears no relation to the case.
 The revolver found today is of large type, 32 calibre, black handled, having six chambers, three of which were discharged and three loaded. It was found after a short search when the prisoner indicated the place he had discarded it. It was somewhat rusty from exposure to the elements.
 Mrs. Biafore, who has nervously paced outside police headquarters yes terday, and today, this morning said, .sIf the law gives me any chance Wlll1 kill hinaI" Further than saying she wished to see him, because he had killed good man and left her alone in the world with a number of chil- dren she would not divu1ge her motive for remaining without the building She has made no request of the au- thorities to see the murderer.
 Morano says he escaped by running from the scene of the murder, in Klef- .r street, to the railroad track, through Railroad court, Railroad avenue to Broad street. to State street, where. it is believed he sent friend into City Hall for his money, while he waited outside, down Broad street to Fairfield avenue, up that highway directly past he police station, to Dewey street, l where he this morning assisted the of icers in locating the revolver he had discarded in his flight and into the 1 Mountain Grove cemetery.

 HOLIDAY ROMANCE
Secret Is Out of Helen shar- ron's Marriage to Att
 torney Foley
Nuptials Were Solem1lized In New York City On
 Memorial Day

Considerable surprise was manifested today by friends of the young people when it was announced that Miss Hel- en Sharon and Attorney Walter J. Foley had been married in New York May 30 last. The bride is a petite brunette and is considered one of the prettiest girls in the city. She is a da tighter of MT. and Mrs. Peter Shar- ron of North avenue. She was edu- cated at the Bridgeport High school and since leaving that institution has been employed as stenographer in several local offices.
 The elopement of Miss Sharon and Attorney Foley was rather rapid de- velopment- They met only a few months ago and although they were seen frequently together their friends did not imagine the friendship had so quickly ripened into courtship- They went to New York Memorial day, ostensibIy for days recreation but later circumstances indicate that Cupid had something to say in the matter Anyway when they return ed they were man and wife.
 The couple had determined to keep the rews of the elopement secret for a. time and on their return from New York Miss Sharon continued at her as usual while Attorney Foley resumed his business and tried to conceal the smile of elation that frequently fitted over his countenance.
 Attorney Foley is regarded as brig igft young lawyer and since the tidfngs of his marriage leaked out he has been overwhelmed with congra tu- fatiOuS

FORMER MAYOR LEE IS RECEIVER FOR
 SMITH SILv LvER co.

Eugene 1T. H. Smith has made ap- plication in the Superior Court to have temporary receiver appointed for the E. H. H. Smith Silver Co, and forfner Mayor Henry Lee has been appointed by Judge Bennett of the Superior Court. He qualified under bonds of $2O,Oo0 furnished by the National Sur ety Co. of New York
 The news of the receivership caused a sensation in local business circles when it was made known today. The Smith Silver Co. occupies large fac tory in the East End and it was gen orally supposed to be prosperous. It was learned on good authority, howev- CT, that the company is perfectly sol vent. It has found some difficulty in securing loans to complete it's orders but the business will be continued and 1t expects to be out of the financial tanEle in short time.
 The trouble in getting loans has been similar to that experienced by other concerns and by no means indicates lack of solvency on the part of the Smith Cc.

CRAZY SURGEON
 FROM OPERATING ROOM TO ASYLUM
Mortified Nurse Sees Him Cutting Up
 Wealthy Patient
Her Cries Bring Hospital Doc tors Who DiSaTm The
 Operator

Marietta. O., Aug. 13.-With the com &nitment to Long View. Asylum in Gin cinnati, today, of pr. William R. Dab- ney, there has come to light one of the most remarkable chapters in med teal history Not until the crazed sur geon had undertak ken to perform vtV1- section upon a patient was it realized by the attendants in the operating room that madness was directing the scalpel in an effort to uncover vital organs Dr. Dabney entered practice in Marietta about 15 years ago. He made a speciality of eye, ear and throat operations For several months previ- ous to his mental collapse and the startling revelations of his condition, rarely a day passed that he did not perform one or two difficult opera tions-
 It was the death on the operating table of an aged and wealthy farmer, Jacob F. Schaed. that brought Dr. Dabney's career to a close. Schaed had a humorous growth in his upper jaw. He consulted Dr. Dabney and was assured that a minor operation would remove the disfgurement.
 Besides Dr. Dabney and the nurse there sver present. when Schaed lapsed into unconsciousness under the inf1u- -ence of an anaesthetic, Dr C. B. Bal lard and Dr. J. B. Penrose. As pr. Dabney proceeded with the knife. the two surgeons detected that there was something wrong and both began to remonstrate Dr. Dabney became an gry and ordered them from the oper- ating room
 When the two doctors had left, ac- cording to the story of the nurse, who had remained beside the unconscious patient, Dr. D7bney began to dissect Schaed's face and throat. Both sides of the face were laid open and deep incfsions made in the throat. But the ekiu of the mad surgeon was shownl in the dexterity with which he avoided inhicting a fatal wound.
 How far the crazed surgeon would have proceeded with the dissection cannot be told, for the horrified- nurse ran shrieking that Dr. Dabney was killing his patient. Her cries brought Drs Ballard and Penrose with several Of the hospital attendants to the res uce and pr. Dabney, by this time a ra gfng maniac, brandishing his scalpel over the unconscious living subject, was disarmed and subdued after a desperate struggle
