TWO MEN HELD ON SUSPICION
PROVIDENNCE, U. I., Sept 6.
Judge William 8. Knowtes of the
eighth Judicial district, was assass
inated Just after he had left bis
bungalow in North Scltuate, to take
a trolley car for Providence today.
He receiver three bullet wounds,
two in the back and one in the Jaw.
The attack occurred about 100 yards
from the houso and apparently the
the shots came from the bushes that
line the village road leading; to the
car line.
After having been wounded at least
onoa, the Justice turned back and had
nearly regained tba gate opening Into
his place when ha fell dead.
The murder was witnessed by no one
'except the assassins, who escaped. Later
the police detained two men on suspic
ion. They were Italian laborers, and,
according to the police, one of them car
ried a loaded revolver.
The body was found by Knowlea'
housekeeper, Mrs. Warddell, who had
run from the house when she heard the
shots fired. As she reached the lawn
she says she heard a man's voice with
a foreign accent, cry: "Now, Judge, I've
irot you." She saw no one, but thought
the voice came from the shrubbery.
Justice Knowles was M years of age
and unmarried. The police are proceed
ing on the theory that he was killed In
revenge by some litigant against whom
ha had given a decision. Ills circuit was
made up of the city of Cranston and
tha towns of Johnston, Foster and
