Gun Man Arrested Thursday Night


Gun Man Arrested Thursday Night
State police and local officers were
working all day Thursday running
down clews, and they were numerous
Late in the afternoon word was re-
ceived that started State Policemen
Bridgeman and Elliott for Waterbury.
Word came of the man wanted being
seen in East Thompson, so the state
men were stopped at Hartford.
The gun mans right name is Sher-
il. His capture was made when he
stopped at house in East Thompson
to ask for drink of water. The poo
Pile were suspicious of the man and
at once notified Officer Neri Coderrs
of North Grosvenor-D Dale, who started
out with couple Of young men In an
automobile. It was about 10 o'clock
when Sheriff was seen in the road and
officer Coderre made the arrest at the
point.o of his revolver. The officer took
Sherif's automatic away from him
and then handcuffed him.
In the meantime word had been
sent to the Putnam police and Captain
Bulger and Patrolman Laird started
out. They met the North Grosvenor-
Dale officer and his prisoner and all
returned to the Putnam police sta
ton.
When Captain Bulger "frisked"
Sheriff another revolver was found on
him. He was taken to the Day Kim
ball hospital where he was identified
by his victim. 4
Sheriff, according to the officers,
says that quarrel started at base
ball game last Sunday. He says that
he was waiting for Shaki when tho
trolley bus arrived Wednesday night.
He asked Shaki if he wanted TO fight.
Shaki pulled away and it was then
that Sheriff opened fire. He also said
that Shaki fired at him.
Since he escaped the officers believe
that Sheriff has been hiding in the
woods and either hunger or thirst
made him come out Of hiding.
At 8 o'clock this morning the man
was sleeping soundly on a cot at the
police station.
1t has been learned that Sheriff
bought the revolver In Putnam Sep
TENDER End, giving the name Of Jim
Charley, residence Goodyear. Thirty

Nursing his anger that resulted
from quarrel in North Grosvenor-
Dale last Sunday. Camilla Shaki wait
ed for the arrival of the trolley car
from Putnam at the North Grosvenor-
Dale trolley station at $50 Wednes-
day evening and in less than min
ute after Anne Shaki, with whom he
quarreled, stepped from the car Ca
mila pulled thirty-two caliber re-
volver from his hip pocket and emp
tied its six chambers at the back of
his former friend. Four of the shots
took effect and Anne fell to the
ground
The six shots in quick succession
attracted people from all over the viii
lage and a crowd quickly gathered.
Neri Coderre, the officer on duty in
the village. was in the mill office when
the six reports rang out. Within a
few seconds boy came running to in
form him that man had been shot.
The officer hurried to the scene but at
first was unable to get much informa-
ton.
The two men figuring in the affair
are Albanians and although the shoot
ing occurred within a stones throw of
a store where men of this nationality
make their headquarters, and some
were seen on piazza just before the
shooting, All denied that they saw
any shooting or any trouble,
A doctor was summoned and upon
examination ordered the injured man
removed to the Day kimball hospital,
where Dir. S. B. Overlook and DR.. e.
F. Perry performed operations. 1t
was found that one bullet had enter
ed the abdomen, seyering the small in
testine. Another bullet passed
through the left lung Still another
passed through the left shoulder and
the fourth entered under the lower
jaw, passed through the mouth and
teeth and lodged in the right cheek.
Shaki was placed on the dangerous
list.
Following the shooting Camilla ran
towards Thompson. Officers took up
the hunt and were out all night with
out gaining any elew to his wherea-
bouts. Among the officers who inn
mediately worked on the case were
State Policemen Bridgeman and Ell
lott, County Detective Jackson, Dep
uty Sheriff Bates and Officer Coderre.
On account of the apparent unwil-
lingness to give information by those
who knew the two men best, few facts
could be learned. Even the names OF
the two men are uncertain. While
the state police have the names as
given above Camilla is also known as
Camilla Sheriff and Qamale Stickey,
while .ne victim is also known as
Jamin.
Several stories of the quarrel that
led up to the shooting are reported.
One is to the effect that the men quar-
relied at last Sundays base ball game.
Another that they had a quarrel over
a woman. The third. which is believ-
ed to be the correct version, is to the
effect that quarrel over some form
of gambling was the underlying cause
and motive for the shooting.
It is known that there was quar-
rel and that it occurred last Sunday.
Shaki apparently made up his mind to
get his man, for Wednesday night ne
waited for the trolley from Putnam to
bring his victim home from work with
a construction gang at the Manhasset
mill in Putnam. When Anne stepped
of the car Camilla went up to him and
took him by the hand as il to shake

ty at His Con-
venience
SPECULATION AS TO
MEANING OF ACTION
American Advisors Who Resigned on
Account of Alleged Difference of
Opinion also to Come Before Senate
Foreign Relations Committee.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-After
two-h hour discussion today the senate
foreign relations committee decided to
notify President Wilson tonight that it
would cali on him at the White House
at his convenience to discuss the peace
treaty. The committee also decided to
call before it +. 7. Williams, S. X.
Hornbeck and William C. Bullitt, who
resigned as advisers to the American
peace conference at Paris because, it
has been reported, they disagreed with
decisions by the conference.
A motion to call also Col. House, Gen.
Bliss and Henry White, American dele
gates to the peace conference. was voted
down, 9 to s. Senators McCumber of
North Dakota and Harding of Ohio,
Republicans, voting with the Democrats
In deciding to request a conference
with President Wilson, on which there
was no formal vote, it was agreed that
all information secured from the Presi
dent should be made public. There is
no indication when the President will
receive the committee. To inquiries
Secretary Tumulty said, We have no
comment to make.
Speculation at the capitol as to the
purpose of the committee in requesting
that the President receive it revolved
around the subject of reservations to
the treaty and the league covenant. 1t
was said it had been intimated at the
White House that the President had not
changed his attitude toward reserva-
tions.
No date was fixed for opening the
hearings with Mr.. Bullitt. Mr.. Williams
and Others as witnesses Some of those
to be called are not in this country, but
will be invited to attend as soon as they
are available. All of the hearings are
to be open.
1t was intimated at the White House
that the attitude of Senator Hitchcock
of Nebraska. who told the foreign rela-
tions committee Yesterday that unless
the committee reported the treaty out
in the near future an attempt would be
made to have it called up in the senate,
reflected that of the President.
Secretary Tumulty said there was a
strong possibility that the President
would start on his speaking tour when
the treaty was reported by the commit
tee. l. was intimated that while he saw
no need for further conferences with
Republican senators for discussion of
the treaty and the league covenant he
still was holding himself at the .dispos-
al of the committee
He hopes to get to the Pacific coast
in time to review the Pacific fleet early
in September and expects that before
he leaves Washington congress will get
under way the legislation designed to
/ aid in the campaign to reduce the cost
of living.

been deprived of the use of barn on
