MANIAC, ARMED,
HOLDS Off POSSE
Employe at Insane Asylum
Seized Only When Am
munitiOn Is Gone.

Grenloch, N. j., June "a. Harry S.
Schooby, for years an employe at the
Camden County Insane Asylum, sud
denly went mad last night, fired nine
shots at the superintendent, John Star
key, and then made fort Of his little
house, from which for hours he held a
posse at bay by sniping from the win
dows.
More than 200 shots were exchanged,
and while the house was badly dam
aged no one was injured. Schooby was
forced to surrender when his ammunl-
ton gave out. His wife and nine chill
dren were found huddled in a corner
Schooby was taken to the county jail
and will be examined as 20 his sanity.
Superintendent Starkey was obliged
to discharge Schooby several days ago
because of his freaks of insubordina-
ton. The man had been in the habit Of
conversing with the inmates OF the
ASYLUM as they took their daily out
ings. lie appeared TO be fascinated by
them. His wife spoke to the superln. ,
tendent about this several times and
Starkey consolidated with the man
without effect Finally he had to dis
miss Schooby, who vowed he would
never rest until he had the life OF the
official. Starkey PAID no aLJenIioh "
the threats, regarding the man as
harmless.
The superintendent had stepped out
of the Office door to the road last night
when a bullet whistled past his head.
He had not recovered from his sur
prise when another and another, COM
ing out Of the darkness, struck all
about him. He retreated to the office
as several more were fired. Calling
officers Montgomery, Pine and Cum.
mings, Starkey went out in pursuit OF
his would-be assassin.
Schooby retreated to his cottage,
piled furniture against the doors and
fastened the windows. Then he APP
peared cautiously at an upper window
and started firing. He was armed with
several weapons. The officers took an
occasional snipe at the man, hoping to
scare him into surrenderlng, but
Schooby kept up his fire.
Finally, with a cry Of derision, the
barricaded man shouted: "Here goes
my last shot" He fired, and the posse
rushed the house, forcing in window.
Schooby appeared to be almose eX-
hausted by his long fight, and was
captured without much difficulty.

daughter. Judge Downs said he would
not hermit his client - take The stand.
LAWYERS here said that If Mrs. Angle
does not take the stand in her own be-
half before the Coroner, this will almost
surely result in the Coroner holding
her to await the action of the City
Prosecutor.
City Prosecutor Phillips is keeping
silent as to his plans. Tomorrow he
will sit beside Coroner Phelan and take
a part in the examination of witnesses.
Mrs. Angle was divorced in February,
1911. She had lived thirteen years with
her husband, but her artistic ambitions
and his Drosaic ways did not lead 10
much happiness. She has had literary
aspirations. and published little book
i'm 1910 entitled "Ihe Log, or Diary, Of
Our Automobile Voyage Through
Maine and the White Mountains" This
she circulated among her friends.
Since her father married a second
time, about five years ago, she has col
lected the rents from her fathers prop
critics here and in neighboring Con-
necticut towns.
The constant visits of Ballou to her
studio apartment gave rise to the ru-
NOR that he would marry her. He has
been a widower five years.
Apart from the disparity in their
years, most of those who knew them
said it would be a good match. BalloU's
income amounted TO nearly $4,000 an
nually, goodly portion of which was
derived from the Yale e. Towne Manu-
featuring Company here, of whose pad
lock department he was superintendent.
Mrs Angles divorced husband, Frank
W. Angle, at his home in Bridgeport to-
night, said: al knew Ballou well, but
he never visited US. | can hardly be-

rant charging him with impairlng the
morals of fourteen-year-old Marjorie
Gluxton. Phillips was arrested by
Agent John &. Butts, of the ). I. 1. I.
He was later released on $500 bail.
Much mystery surrounds the case.
Butts, the agent, would make no COM
ment Soon after Phillips had ar
rived at the station house an auto
mobile drew up at the door, and four
men entered and asked to be taken TO
the prisoner The author received his
visitors in an anterOom.
Phillips's address on the warrant is
149 West 96th ST., and his age is given
as forty-two. He is a native of this
city After he left school he spent
some years in the West and the Cana
dian Northwest as miner, cowpuncher,
school teacher and postmaster. Once
he was the sole citizen of a deserted
mining camp.
Phillips married Miss Louise Moore
Millspaugh, of Richmond, n. Y, in
August, 1898. A year later a son was
Dorm. MIS-. InltllpS won neF divorce
in Los Angeles February %.
For q time Phillips was a prisoner
in the Manhattan State Hospital for
the Insane on Wards Island His NAL
ady was a mild one. While there he
established a class in painting which,
it is said, helped to cure several cases.
It was while he was on the island,
Phillips said at his home last night,
that he met Mrs. Lillian Gluxton,
mother of the girl. She was interested
in him, and after he returned to the
city, the author said, Mrs. Gluxton
took charge Of his apartment for him.
Later her daughter came from Chi
cago.
Phillips said that in his work as Il
painter Marjorie had posed for him
many times, but the mother was al
WAYS present, and there were no OBJ
jections Last May, however, there
was a disagreement, he said, after he
had received a letter from Marjorie,
which convinced him that her mothers
influence was bad. He had the child
taken to the Children's Society.
Since then, he said, Mrs. GluXton
had vented her spite on him in various
ways and tried TO get him in trouble.
He laid last nights arrest to her and
said that, far from wishing to injure
Marjorie's reputation or morals, he
wished to marry her and would do so
whenever he could gain her consent.

Schenectady, n. Y, June 24.-District
Attorney Albert T. Blessing believes
he has a clew which may lead 10 the
discovery of the head of the unidenti-
fed young woman, part Of whose torso

will drag the Normanskill Greek in the
woods.
Thomas Burns, the farmer whose
wood lot was searched, says that
man and woman passed from the road
in front Of his house hurriedly through
his garden and into the woods last Sat
urday. They carried a black satchel
large enough to have held a human
head. They returned 20 the road sep
arately and neither had the satchel.
The couple left their horse and buggy
in the road when they ran TO the
woods.
The man came back after about
twenty minutes, Burns said. He
jumped into the buggy and drove rap
idly toward Schenectady. Near the
Dexter farm, which adjoins the Burns
farm, the uAu Vas JOlHeu Dy the WoIIi-
an. Mr.. and Mrs. Burns saw the stran-
gers plainly and they say the man was
about thirty-fve years old and the
woman about nineteen.
"The clew looks promising and / will
continue my investigation with the hope
of finding the head Of the slain girl
somewhere about the farm tomorrow
said District Attorney Blessing to-
night.

Schenectady Board of Supervisors will
offer a reward for the head of the slain
girl and call in expert criminoligists at

Crammed with passengers and seamen,

thirty feet into the sea. The bottom
of the boat was smashed by it's violent
contact with the waves and all were
thrown into the water. Most of the
passengers who had occupied the boat
were women and children, and they
struggled helplessly in the waves.
A auartermaster of the GOthland
sprang from the steamers deck and
succeeded in saving three of the wom-
en-. Several of the lifs.aving crew also
jumped into the water and handed
drowning children to their companions
in the rescue boat until all had been
saved.
Meanwhile a heavy sea rendered all
salvage work perilous, but eventually
all were got safely ashore. The crew

How long this process has been known
to be theoretically possible does not appear,
but Frenchman named Appert, in 1875,
was the first person to do the trick, and the
Emperor Napoleon gave him $4,000 francs
to encourge him. He spent it all, and as
much more as he could get, in efforts to
devise economical methods and, like most
inventors, died poor as church mouse.
In 1910 somebody patented Appert's in
vention in England, but no industry worth
mentioning resulted. A few years later
the canning of she'll fish began in small
way in this country, and during the forties
the process gradually became established
as a household art. At first only glass
jars were used, but afterwards tin, but the
tin cans were costly and not always good.
Canning as an industry became possible
only by the invention, some time in the
later forties, of the stamped tin can, and
from that time the business gradually in
creased, but only within the last thirty
years has canning become great national
industry
