The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-01-15

Having considered all or the testim ony taken at the inquest to- gether with the report of the au- topsy, l on the 18th day of Jam uary. A. D., 1892, made the fol- lowing finding concerning said death:
 John Delinkaitis had been hay Ing considerable trouble with his wife over an extended period of time. He had been arrested on her complaint for breach of the peace, for drunkenness and other minor offenses and had been committed as an inebriate to the State Hos pital at Norwich, from which has was discharged in the fall of 1881. Ordinarily he was not 4 man of violent temper but after he had been drinking for some time he very frequently was violent. His wife was confined In New Haven County Jail fin the early part of December of 1881 and he was charged with the support of his children. He had been working for the Mutual Aid Unemployment Fund but on the fifth of Decem- Der he went with A friend of his Alphonzo Butkavich, to Ansonia, where Butkavich's divorced wife lived, and spent the following week at her house. While he was there he got possession of n .32 caiibre revolver which one of the board CTS at that house had left there, and on the eighth of December he had Mrs Butkavich's son buy box of cartridges to ft his gun Subse- quently, on the 12th of December, he started for Waterbury, having .t.,I,. ,It f.- money for transportation by Mrs Butkavich, and arrived in Water bury by trolley car from Ansonia | about the middle of the afternoon. He had been drinking before he came to this city and upon arriv- ing here he called at the house of n friend. where he had more li- quor. and also on his brother-in- law. At about half-past six o'clock he went 10 the house of John and Anna Kvictkus, on Wclland hVe- nue, went into the kitchen where MT and Mrs Kvictkus were, with his coat buttOned up about his face and his hat pulled down on his forehead and with the .32 call bre revolver which he had secured In Ansonia, fully loaded In his hand. As he entered the kitchen of the house, without any conver- Bntion at all, he fired at Mrs Kvictkus, striking her in the right upper thorax. She fell 10 the floor and her husband jumped up from the table where he was eating his supper and rushed toward the door in an attempt ta intercept him. Dclinkaitis fired one shot at tho husband. which struck him in the abdomen and. taking n down. ward course, passed through his intestlncs. Delinkaitis then ran out of the house through the doorway by which he had entered and made his escape. Kvietkus rushed to var ious neighbors' houses and finally succeeded In having call sent through to the police station by telephone. and upon the arrival of q police automobile he and his wife were removed 10 St Mary'S hospital. kvietkus was operated on early the following morning and tt was found that he had nine through and through perforations, making Il total of eighteen perfor- ations in his small intcstines These were closed but the bullet was not recovered at the operation. PeritOnltls and lobar pneumonia developed, as a. result of which Kvietkus died on December IS. 1881
 l find that said death was caused by pcritonitiS and lobar pneumonia resulting from perforations of the intestine when John kvietkus was shot by John Dclinkaitis, and that said death was caused by the will ful. criminal act of said John De- linkaitig.
 In compliance with the statute have filed with the Clerk of the Superior Court for New Haven County at Waterbury my report of the Inquest together with the testimony taken.
 Dated at Waterbury, Connecti- cut. this fifteenth day of January A. D. 1J32.
