| Sherin3 charged with assault with in- tent to kill EmiA Shakai, Sept. 24. Sheriff through an interpreter, enter ed a plea of guilty to the charge. The assault with which Sheriff was charg- ed took place at North Grosveno ordale 1 where Sheriff waited for Shakai and as the latter stepped off a car not more than ffve feet away, Sheriff fir ed five shots at him with a S2 cali bre revolver he had been carrying. Four Of the bullets took effect, en- tering Shakai's head just back of the | left ear. One lodged in his jaw, an- other puncturing a lung, and another passing completely through his body making it necessary for the removal I.of about three inches of his ,intes- tines. Shakai was rushed to the Day KimbaH hospital in. Putnam and it was thought that he would die. He showed remarkable recuperative pow CTS, however, and is now entirely healed and is orllya trifie weak from 1 his wounds
 i Sheriff fled after firing the shots and was not captured until after a 24-hour search by the Putnam officers
 and members of the state police, when
 he was nearly to the Massachusetts Eline. When captured he lad two re-
 volvers, one 8 U-. s. g and the other Ia Colts automatic of the same calibre.
 He gave up without a struggle when
 the officers found him.
 ! In the. testimony little could be found to show why the accused had 1 wished tos ts 1e the life of Shakai but | some previous argument was thought
 to have been. the cause. Shakai, who stated that he was going to join his
 wife who lived in Maine, was held by fthe state police until atfer the trial.
 States Attorney Charles E. Searls i of Putnam recommended a sentence
 of not less than one year and not more than four years in state prison and Judge Kellogg sentenced the ae- eused as recommended. Other cases l which were scheduled to come up be- fore the present session of the court were continued on bonds and at 2.S0
 Judge Kellogg ordered the court ad-
 journed. sine die.
 County Detective William B. Jack l son had gotten. confessions from the | persons connected with the cases and the brevity of the session of the court
 was due to the completeness of many l Of the cases.
