TRIED TO COMMIT MURDER.
Then Springyale, Me-, Man Tried in
Vain to Kill Himself.

Springvale, Me. Aug. 2l.--John
Twombley aged 25, a shoe worker. while
drink crazed last night, shot and slight
/ ly wounded Mrs Edward b. Trafton,
wife OF a shopmate. and then tried to
end his own life by cutting his throat
| The bullet tore the scalp in the back OF
Mrs. Trifton's head and burrowed its
way TO the neck She is not in serious
condition. nor is Twombley, although he
slashed his neck close to the iugular vein
and lost much blood
jealousy is the only motive the au-
thorities can assign for the shooting.
Twombley once lived in the same house
with the Traftons.
Last night he had been drinking heav-
ilv and encountered Mrs. Trafton as she
was going along Mill street toward her
home with several friends. He called her
aside, declaring he had something he
wanted her to leave at his home for him
A. she approached he took held of her
and threw her TO the ground, drew a
32.ealibre revolver and fired
He then ran along Mill street toward
Main street. Mrs. Trafton arose and
staggered across the street. falling at |
the feet of Frank Jones, foreman of
Fred Smiths box mill
While Dr. Fred A. Bragdon was dress
ing the wound on Mrs Trafton's head |
Twombley was making plans to do away 1
with himself. stopping at the edge of |
the pond. he discarded his revolver. took /
off his coat and acted as If he intended
to drown himself Changing his mind. /
he hurried TO the home OF the Trsftons
and informed the husband of his victim
that she had been shot, but did not tell
him who did IT,
He then went to his own home and
,ut his throat Cropping his way from
the house. with blood gushing from the
wound in his neck, the shoeworker stag
yered to the door of the home Of con
table Fred :. Beal
As Beal opened the door Twombley
ell over the threshold and said; Il am
murderer. Take me and lock me up.
The constable called Dr. Anton s.
Davis. who stopped the flow Of blood.
ie does not think that Twombley is in
ny danger. |,
