him and his wife, who is another i'm

two boys, under the supervision of
Mrs. Thomas, is building his home

The house is beng erected at 12l

ITALIAN SHOT WIFE
DURING BAD DREAM

Newark, N. j., Nov. 24.James
Sapienza, concrete block manufac-
turer of Irvington, shot and killed his
wife in bed early today, but the muir
der charge against him may be drop
ped. He told the police he had been
dreaming of threatening letters he
actually had received, and had shot
at two men he dreamed he had seen
creeping through the window The
authorities are inclined to believe
his story.
"Sapienza said he dreamed he saw
two men coming through the win
dow and that they were taking his
little son." said Police Lieutenant
Godfrey, who examined the manufac-
turer after he had been arrested.
"He said he dreamed he reached
under his pillow to get his revolver
and that he was suddenly awakend
by the noise of a saot He found
the revolver in his hand and its was
smoking.
81 am convinced this man is tell
ing the truth for this reason: The
bullet that killed his wife went
through the pillow before it lodged
in her head, behind the left ear Sa-
pienza slept on the left side of the
bed and his wife on the right"
Prosecutor Harrison, who said
neighbors corroborated Sapienza's
statement that he and his wife had
always been on the best of terms, de-
clared he believed the manufacturer
was telling the truth. He added that
Sapienza had turned over to him for
investigation the threatening letters
he had received.

Pat Dyvenot, beautiful society di-

thought the meeting could be ar

reached the big town old Pontius

gave him the right tip.
New York society,"" said Pontius,
sis divided, like cocktails, into two
classes-Bronx and Manhattan. Man
haitian represents the inner circle,
and the Bronx the outer circle, and
it's impossible for outsiders to get
into the inner circle"
But fate favored Buddy. He saw
an article in a newspaper which said
that Mrs. Pat had lost her costly
jewels. So Buddy went to jeweler
and bought duplicate set just for
the chance of meeting the aloof Mrs.
Pat.
Finally he met his charmer, and
