WOMAN .COLLAPSES
WHEN FOUND GUILTY
Mrs. Anna Buzzi Faces the Electric
Chair as the Slayer of
Bronx Contractor.

New York City = Convicted of first
degree murder and facing the. electric
chair, Mrs. Anna Buzzi, slayer of Fred
erick Schneider, wealthy Bronx con-
tractor with whom she lived several
years, collapsed in the courtroom late
last night when the jury in Supreme
Court Justice O'Malley's court brought
in its verdict after celebrating ten
hours. White and shaking and with
her composure broken for the first
time since her arrest four months ago,
Mrs. Buzzi was committed to the
Bronx county Jail to await sentence on
July 8. The penalty for first degree
murder in this state is electrocution.
Schneider, who was the builder of
the worlds largest apartment house,
was found dead in his automobile with
two bullets in his brain on lonely
road in the Bronx on Feb. %.
Mrs. Buzzi, the following day, was
held as a material witness. Then
William Turc, her brother-in-law de-
'clared Mrs. Buzzi had quarreled with
Schneider and had requested him to
get her pistol, saying, ''If l can't
have Fred no one else WILL" she was
indicted for first degree murder but
continued to declare her innocence in
openly charging Turc with the murder
During the trial which began last
week, the prosecution stressed lures
testimony that he had reached Mrs
Buzzi's apartment shortly after ! six
o'clock on the night of the murder
and had found her washing blood
stains from her coat.

LOYELACE CAR
CASE DISMISSED
Charge OF Having Stolen
Auto Parts in Possession
is Dropped.
BUT HE CARRIED GUN

Joseph Lovelace~ of Fox River sta
ton, was not sure just how old he
was, when the question was put to
him in the municipal court this morn
ing. Twenty or twenty-one," was
his answer in response to the question.
District Attorney Frank S. Sym
monds was sure that Lovelace was
twenty.
"His father told me so himself"
he said, fatty.
Attorney A. E. Buckmaster, repre-
senting Lovelace, replied that it was a
wise father that knew his own sons
but their mother knew
age, saying that he often couldn't re-
member the exact age of his own sons,
"Well ask Lovelace's mother" he
said. "Lovelace looks more like thirty"
eyes, was surprised myself" said
the district attorney, "but his father
said twenty"
Question is Important.
The question is an important one
to Lovelace, who is defendant in a
new action. If he is twenty he must
plead guilty or face trial; if twenty
one the case must be dropped.
Lovelace was arrested by Under
sheriff Knipfer on Tuesday night
charged with having in possession
parts of a stolen car. Lovelace in
sisted that he had purchased the car,
an old piece, from a farm hand for
six dollars. It was found that the
evidence against Lovelace was not
sufficient and the young man was
not brought into court this morning
on the charge!
However, at the time of his arrest
Lovelace carried a gun, not a concealed
gun. He carried the weapon openly
in plain view in a holster. 1t is
against the law for any one under
twenty-one to carry weapon.
1t is not against the law for a man
over twenty-one to carry weapon
if the weapon is not concealed
Hence the interest centering about
the question of Lovelace's age. The
young man was placed under bonds
for appearance July 6 and meanwhile
the case was continued.

ney general Daugherty had moved in

PROSE- the pending indictments return
ed there against union leaders and
certain corporations charging conspir-
acy to restrain trade in the produc-
ton and sale of bituminous coal.
Careful investigation, Mr.. Daugherty
told the court, strongly supported the
protest of the defendants that many
of the things complained of were in
no small measure due to efforts of
governments officials during the war
to bring about more intensive coop

and railroads in the production and
transportation of coal. :
The attorney general added that if
the case came to trial sit would be
difficult, if not impossible for the
government to rebut the claim that the
things charged were "the natural re
suit, in great measure" of the acts
of the government officials.
Conditions agreed upon between the
operators and miners, the court fur
