Private Ingraham, one OF the

years old, of 800 Sixtieth street, who
was found in Fifty eighth street near
the Morse docks. Private Ingraham
said that the man had been acting
suspiciously. He was locked up in
the Fourth avenue police station.
The Morse docks were declared
government reservation in September,
and thfrty-nine saloons near it were
closed by the War Department. County
Judge Roy of Brooklyn declared this
action illegal when it was brought be-

holding that the dry dock doing gov

FIRES THREE SHOTS
At BENEFACTOR
Mrs. Jennie Ferry, g., Is Now in
Jail for Her Deed

Stafford Springs-Mrs. Jennie Ferry
81, wife of Joseph Ferry. 50, fired
three shots from a revolver at Orc F.
Ballou while he was seated at the sup
per table in his home in West Stat
ford. and where Mr.. and Mrs. Ferry
are being cared for by Mr.. and Mrs.
Ballou. Two of the shots took effect,
making slight wounds, one bullet en-
tering Ballous right arm and after
entering several inches dropped to the
floor. The other bullet grazed his
head. The third bullet buried itself in
the ceiling of the room.
Mahlon Avery brother Of Daniel
Avery, nearby neighbor, was making
a short call at the Ballou home when
the shooting took place. He forced
the woman onto a couch apd wrested
the smoking weapon from her grasp.
A call was set to this place for help.
Chief of Police Hayes, Oft1cer Helm
and Medical Examiner G. +. Bard re-
sponded. Ballou was trailed by the
blood spots on the ground to the Full
Ter home nearby, where he had run
for safety. Medical aid was given
him.
Mrs. Ferry was brought here by au-
tomobile to the detention room. Her
grievance against Ballou and his wife
is believed to be based in the fact
that having decided her farm, claimed
by her to be worth more than $4,000,
to Mr.. Ballou last July for a ltfe's care
for herself and husband, she regrets
her action, claiming i'll treatment, lack
Of suitable food and clothing, etc, but
her statement is said to be without
standardization.
The neighbors say that she, Is
queer and unbalanced" In an inter-
view with the woman while she sat in
a cell, she denied any knowledge of
having shot Ballou. She speaks of the
local hospital, where she went for
treatment some time ago, as an "abat-
toir" and calls Mr.. Ballou a butcher
without mercy" There is a likelihood
of the woman being committed to an
institution, but the disposition Of her
case will rest with Prosecuting Attor-
ney M. D. O'COnnell.
