Boston, Sept. 9-Passengers on a
crowded street car, many of them
women, were unwilling witnesses to
a double murder here today.
The car was passing through the
West Roxbury district bound for
Dedham, when Charles a. Wells
drew a revolver, over the barrel of
which he had slipped his wedding
ring, tied on with a black string and
shot down his divorced wife, Ella A
Wells, and her counsel, A. Louis Ait
meyer. The woman died almost in
stantly and the attorney soon after
arriving at a hospital. Five shots
were fired.
The operators of the car threw
open the doors. While some of the
panic stricken passengers fled others
seized Wells and turned him over to
the police. He expressed no sorrow
at his act, officers said, telling them
that he purchased the weapon about
a 9week ago with the intention of
killing his former wife and Altmey-
er. The latter acted as counsel for
Mrs. Wells in her recent divorce pro-
ceedings. They were on their way
today to court to press alimony pro-
ceedings and to seek action against
Wells, who was alleged to have been
annoying his former wife.
The woman obtained her divorce

treatment. She previously had her
husband in court, according to the
records charged with assault and
battery.
Wells boarded the car several
stops beyond the point where his
former wife and Altmeyer got
aboard. He opened fire without
words, according to passengers.
Two shots struck Mrs. Wells. one
in the neck and the other in the left
side. Altmeyer was shot in the head
None of the other passengers was
injured. although windows were
broken by the shots There was
much excitement among those in the
car, one of the one-man operator
type.
John ]. O'Neil, the operator, had
thrown the door open when the
shooting started, to permit passen-
gers to escape. Wells then forced
his way through them and slipped
out the door, but was caught on the
street by a policeman. He submitted
without a struggle.
After arerst his only remark was a
question whether the man he had
shot was Altmeyer. He said he was

and abusive treatment Neighbors
