On the way he met the badly battered Logis staggering along the road under the influence of liquor. The constable took him along to the Stott house. where as soon as he saw how badly Gftschier was shot he sent for the Backus hospital ambulance, which arr rived soon after Dr. Cassidy had reached the house.
 The constable learned that Edward Snow and Charles Keeler, two Nor wounded man to the Stott home. He took Legis into the house, where Git schiar identified him as the man who had fired the pistoi
 Gitschier was taken in the ambu- lance to the hospital after he had been given temporary attention by Dr. Cas- sidy, while Logis was brought to po- lice headquarters here and locked up for the night. At first he denied that he had done any shooting, but Sunday afternoon he confessed to Chief Lin- ton that he was the man who fired the shots. |
 Constable Fields found a .3s calibre Hopkins & Allen revolver in Logis' room at his home on the Otrobando road. It had two empty shells in it, one loaded shell and the other cham Der empty.
 The constable learned that Logis and a man named Fred DowdaIl had been around together in the evening, and that Logts had come from the city on one of the late trolley trips. The youths named Keeler and Snow had been following along with them on the Otrobando road when the fight took place.
 Gitsehier, who is mill employe, has a bullet in the upper part of the chest, having entered the collar bone, but it missed hitting the lung. The other bullet passed through the upper part of his left arm, entering at the front and passing out behind, leaving two holes in the shirtsleeve to indicate it's course

Thomas Logis, alias Jamie, 42, who claims he shot in self defense, was arrested Saturday night about mid night at Norwich Town by Constable Timothy Fields, charged with shoot ing William Gitschier, who is in the the upper part of his chest on the left side and another wound through the upper part of his left arm. The injuries will not prove serious, 1t Is believed.
 Both men live in the Otrobando road section and the shooting happened during a fight on Otrobando road be- tween 1030 and Il o'clock, in which the man who used the pistol claims that he was made the victim of an attack by Gitschier and Edward Las- kowski, who, he says, came to his house to give him a beating. That he received a beating at somebody's hands is plain enough, for both eyes are black and his face is bruised and battered.
 The affray took place short dis tance from the home of Logis, who is employed at the Glen woolen mills. His account of it that the fact that he is Polish and fGitschier. is German had something to do with 1t, for he told Chief Linton that the Germans and the Poles fight and shoot like the devil. He claims that the two men who attacked him were giving him a bad beating and that his foot went into a hole so that he fell and they bounced on him and had him by the throat choking him when he pulled the revol- yer from his pocket and fired. The two bullets that Logis fired into Git schier stopped the fight.
 The first word that the authorities heard of it was when Constable Tim othy Fields of Norwich Town received a telephone message from the home of William R. Stott on Otrobando road that there was a wounded man there and they wanted a doctor. The con- and then started for the Stott home.
