A railway mail car containing $50
sacks of parcel post and circular
matter for Indianapolis and for re-
distribution here practically was de-
stroyed by fire Sunday in Illinois.
The car was attached to Big Four
train Is, leaving st. Louis at 8:25

tinguish the blaze with hand extin-
guishers, the train was stopped at

partment was called. The baggage
car was sidetracked there and
brought to Indianapolis late Sun

PRIEST SLAIN
IN CHURCH AS
MASS CLOSES
Charge of rSt-Degree
Murder Is Faced by
Young Mother.
ByUnifedPress

BIZ United Press
CANTON, O., March 1I.-Mrs.
Mary Guerrieri, 81, today faced a
first degree murder charge for the
fatal shooting of the Rev. Joseph
Riccardi, 80, as he concluded 8
O'Clock mass Sunday morning in St.
Anthony'S Catholic church here.
Despite long questioning by police
Mrs. Guerrieri still chung to her
story-that she shot Father Ric-
cardi for his alleged abuse of her
5-year-old daughter, Palmera. She
pleaded not guilty when arraigned
today.
AS parishioners filed out of the
church Sunday Father Riccardi was
detained by Mrs. Guerrieri in the
veStibule. A short conversation fol-
lowed.
Five shots rang out and Father
Riccardi crumpled to the floor,
mortally wounded.
Two Of the five bullets found their
mark-one in the priests neck and
the other in his abdomen. He died
Sunday night following an opera
ton for the removal of the bullets.
Quarrel Over Church Site
Nick Guerrieri, SO, husband of the
gunwoman, knew nothing of his
wife'S suspicious until Sunday. he
told police. He further added "She
did right to shoot him"
IF she is sentenced to the cleo
trio chair" he said, II want to go
in her place"
Father Riccardi, born in Italy. was
ordained shortly before the dedica-
ton of the church about a year ago.
He had been popular in the church
and had developed a large parish.
Mrs. Guerrieri, may have acted
from dissatisfaction over Father
Riccardi's activities in having the
church removed from its old loca-
ton to its present one which, the
priest believed more suitable.
That was the opinion expressed
today by Bishop Joseph M. SchrembS
of the Cleveland diocese, who has
made an investigation of the shoot
ing.
Italians Were Dissatisfied
This statement of Bishop
Schrembs and another by Henry
Harter, county prosecutor, refutes
statements of Mrs. Guerrieri.
Prosecutor Harter is quoted as
saying that first investigation has
led me to believe that the womanS
story of mistreatment of her daugh-
ter is untrue"
Bishop Schrembs, who was at the
bedside of Father Ricardo when
the latter died Sunday night, said
the OLD location of st. Anthonys
church was in district regarded
by some as a most unsuitable
neighborhood.
He said there had been express
sions of dissatisfaction from certain
of the italian element since the re-
moYal of the church's location.
