) ster avenue eliminated in the discharge
OF a pistol with serious results for Luigi
Caruti, granite cutter, who received a
bullet wound in the left arm and in the
forehead. The police are looking for Eu-
sebio Albano of Howard street, who is
alleged to have fired the pistol shot at
/, his wife's home where Cartti is board
er. Albano and his wife have been sep.
arated for a year. the officers say, and
the shooting is believed to have been
committed by the man while in rage.
Someone notified police headquarters
OF the affair soon after o'clock yester-
day morning. Officer John s. Murley
and Special Officer A. B. Curtis, com
Wandering the water department jitney,
hurried to the south end in response to
the call Meanwhile, Albano is believed
to have pursued his course down South
Main street, probably passing the officers
as they speeded toward Webster avenue.
DR.. w. +. Lazell was called to minister
to Caruti's needs and while the physician
applied bandages to the injured mans
arm and forehead, the police heard their
version Of the shooting. Caruti stated
| that Albano rushed into the kitchen of
the house, delivered himself of invective
! language in Italian, and then drew re.
volyer from his hip pocket Caruti raised
his left arm to ward off what he thought
was TO be blow from the pistol butt.
The move probably saved his life.
AT that moment Albano fired. The
bullet entered Caruti's arm above the ell
bow, passed through the middle of the
arm, and struck the man a glaneing blow
in the forehead, ploughing furrow
through the scalp. According to Caruti,
his assaiIant dropped his gun and fled.
Mrs Albano and her daughter were in
the garden at the rear of the house when
the shooting occurred. They rushed into
the house to find Caruti reeling about the
kitchen with blood flowing from wound
in the arm and rather superficial open
ing in the forehead. George NJ. Douglass,
who lives at 5 Webster avenue, was the
first person to reach the house after Mrs.l
Albano and her daughter were summoned
from the garden by the gun shot.
Officers Murlev and Curtis were soon
followed by Chief Sinclair and Officer |
Harry Gamble. Cognizance was taken of
the direction in which Albsno disap |
peared and the authorities in nearby |
towns were al once notified to be on the |
lookout for the man. The sheriff's de |
partment and police headquarters in
Montpelier were advised of the shooting |
and outgoing trains were watched. Grand |
Juror William Wishart was called to
the scene OF the shooting and a careful
was under way by mid
forenoon.
Albano's movements before he arrived
on Webster avenue are rather beclouded
in mystery. Special Officer George f.
Howe saw the man hurrying downstreet
after the shooting but as the officer had
not heard of the affair, Albano was not
Sometime before the trou
BILE an Ayers street man saw Albano
walking up the street toward the covered
bridge. At that time he wore no coat
and near the Penniman house, so called,
{ was noticed that he transferred a re-
folver from the coat which he carried on
MS arm to his hip pocket.
The police are inclined to the theory
hat Albano crossed the river to Web !
,ter avenue as his hat was found in
BOAT tied to the east bank of the branch.
People who know something about the c
lat bottom boat that rides at anchor a
most of the time at the point where the c
ail and Stevens branches join forces say |
he boat was on the west side of the d
,ranch last night. 1t is surmised that a
Albano may have crossed the river some I
where between Prospect street and a
'traiton's stoneshed, only to recross in u
he boat at point opposite Webster r
venue. Accompanied by the Ayers street g
nan who told of seeing Albano before
o'clock, Mr.. Howe was walking down "
outh Main street after the shooting &
