 James Niaxziero, who shot Doctor Frank Tramonti when in Pierce street, Saturday afternoon, the bullet enter- ing the left leg below the hip. and later delivered himself to Dr. Edwin R. Lewis, who escorted him to the po- lice station and turned him over to Chief Brown, was arraigned before Judge Oliver H. Williams in the Third district court Monday. Viazziero was charged with violent assault upon the body of Frank Tramonti, with in tent to kill and murder. Through an interpreter the accused maived exam ination. He was adjudged probably guilty and held for the grand jury in q bond of $10,000.
 Dr. Lewis stated to the court that James had been in his employ, more or less, and that he was well acquaint ed with him and knew him to be sober, peaceful and industrious. James had complained to him and to Father Bruno that this doctor" had him un- der his influence. under his curse, and wanted to be freed from the fellow that had such an influence over him. Dr. Lewis said that James was man with child,s mind, and that in pass ing the residence of this alleged doc. tor, James was greeted with ges- ticuiation by the doctor that is eQuiv- alent to the vilest name that man can call to man. This angered the weak minded James and he retaliated was satisfied that James was not men tally balanced and believed that by proper treatment in a state institution his mind would be fully restored, provided Tramonti was kept away from him and could not exercise that | a<v Tav fT1flx ho has of his mind. The doctor agreed with the judge that it would be best for Viazxiero and perhaps the public to have him confined in Kingston jail until such time as the court would appoint a commission to examine Vii azziero as to his sanity which he be- lieyed would result in placing the ac- cused in the state hospital for a time.
 Viazziero has a wife and three chill dren. His fellow countrymen speak in the highest terms of him. Of late however he has at times acted queer ly and they believe he has troubled mind
 One of the court spectators, land lord and friend of Viazziero, said that he seemed to be in good shape prior to that doctor coming to Westerly. He said that he knew the doctor as, shoemaker in Providence and that he inquired as to fertility of the Wes- terly field for a new doctor, and soon after located here. He had been treat ed by the doctor himself, and no med icfne was used. He said the doctor would pass his hands up and down and look sharp into the eyes and that the patient would then have a queer feeling and after that consider that the doctor had great power. The doc tor usually received a big fat fee for his service, he said, sometimes $5 and sometimes much more. In the opinion of Dr. Lewis, based upon reports that came to him, Tramonti may have some hypnotic influence over a weak-mind- ed man like James Viazziero
 The wound received by Frank Ira monti is not considered to be serious.
 Judge Williams disposed of two trunks upon the payment of costs of $2.So each, and the continuation of the eases.
