 The first victims of Spaldfng's madness were Peter and Mary Keter. now patients at the Norwich hospital According to. the information obtained by the state police, Mrs. keter was walking past Spalding's house when he told her to go away.

 Ran Wild With Gun. l It appears from what the state police learned from their interviews with resi- dents of the Glens Falls neighborhood in which the shooting occurred that Spald- ing ran wild after firing the first shot. l He shot at individuals and groups of peaceful people who were sitting on their steps enjoying the calm of the spring evening. He shot through doorways and into windows of different homes He went through the little neighborhood with l no less restraint than maniac firing at l anyone who happened in sight and into homes in, his path. Having temporarily exhausted his shotgun ammunition. he went back to his own home and obtained a rife and made another attack with
 this. One bullet from the rife cut it's
 way through one house from front tc
 back, but without hitting anyone. The door in another house shows where a load
 of shot from a shell lodged. It is said
 that he fired at a distance of 10 feet
 from some of those he would kill The
 residents. few of whom speak good Eng
 fish, were thrown into a state of terrol and fed for their lives.
