Bystander Hurt
By Wild Shot of
New York Woman
Youth Struggles With Infatu
ated Elocutionist Over Pis
tol Which Is Accidental,
ly Discharged.
New York. April 12. A shot and
woman's scream brought hundreds
running , into West Forty-fourth
htreet across from the Hippodrome
at theater time to witness the climax
of a woman's plot tor revenge on a
voung man some years her junior
ior whom she admitted an infatua
tion. The young man's own cool-headed
gameness, as he struggled with the
woman for . possession of a pistol,
prevented anything more than the
accidental and slight injury of a by
stander. ' -
Letters left by the woman in her
hotel room intimated she had in
tended to murder the obiect of her
affections and destroy herself.
Behold Dazed Trio.
; The first arrivals from fashionable
Hubs and big hotels in that block
between .Fifth and Sixth avenues
found George Robbins, 26, a drug j
clerk of Brooklyn, standing near the !
otei Algonquin, a smoking pistol
in his hand.
Across the street in front of the
HioDodrome stnnrt Mr T ilKnn
Vafker of Long Island City, her
right hand clutching her left
1 Near Robbins. aazinir almost daz
edly at the wrapon, was Mrs. Estclle
Matley, 32, an elocutionist whose
home is in Oakland. CaL and who.
uniu recenny, naa conducted a
Studio of elocution in Los Angeles.
Mrs. Matley, well gowned and at
tractive of face and figure, had only
slightly lost her composure as slip,
too, stared at the weapon and mut
tered over and over:
"I didn't mean to shoot anyone, I
didn't mean to shoot anyone."
Patrolman William Mein seized
wrs. Matiey.
V Rohhin nln hour tti rair
U nrgued for an hour in the Hotel Al
t' gonqtiin where Mrs. Matley was reg
istered and how he had persuaded
her to come outside when she be
came excited drew the pistol, and
pressed it against him.
Met At Dance
Before Mrs. Matley could press
the trigger his hand had closed
about her wrist.
They fought for the weapon for
seconds. '
Then It was discharged nnd the
innocent bystander wounded.
There, on the sidewalk while other
patrolmen drove bck the , crowd,
Mrs. Matley told the traffic man the
story of her desperate love for Rob
bins which followed their meeting in
the spring of 1917 at a dance upstate.
Robbins admitted the woman had
cared for him, but said he did not re
turn her love and that for many
months he had struggled to free
hiijsclf of her.

Rich Booze Haul

160 Quarts of Bonded Whisky

Abandoned Car; Two
Men Arrested.
By The Amodatcf. Tnm.
- Paris, April 12. It is no longer
doubted in circles here considered
to have the best scources of informa
tion that France will, either alone or
in common with the allies, take radi
cal action against Germany, if satis
factory assurances regarding the
payment of reparations are not
forthcoming by May 1.
The occupation of the Ruhr val
ley and the entire industrial region
of Westphalia is advocated by some.
Others are convinced that the
French army should this time go to
Berlin, in order to make surei they
argue, of finishing a task which they
hold would be achieved much more
cheaply in the end by this method
than through the successive applica
tion of lesser penalties. '

A mishap to a roadster, speeding
toward Sioux City, caused two men
to be arrested by Sheriff Groneweg's
men and the.loss of 150 quarts of
bonded whisky, all high grade, with
the revenue seals unbroken.
Word came to Sheriff Groneweg
before Monday that a car was
in the ditch near Riefs hall, on the
Lincoln highway, between Crescent
and Honey Creek. The story was
that the car had been abandoned.
When the officers arrived they found
cm, man in charge with a plausible
story. The car had simply broken
down and a friend had goneback to
Council Bluffs to get the necessary
repairs. Suspecting the car might
have been stolen, the officers made
an investigation, and the rich find
of booze followed.
The man in charge was arrested.
He said , he was Ben Haaker of
Sioux City. The officers waited until
the man sent for repairs returned
and he also was arrested. He said
his name was R. E. Morgan, also of
Sioux City. The car and the whisky
were brought to Council Bluffs and
the men locked up in the county jail.
Morgan demanded an immediate
hearing and was arraigned before
Justice Hollis. He pleaded not
guilty and was released under $800
bond. He hurried away to Sioux
City.
An additional charge will be filed
against both men. ; When the car
was further searched . officers found
a loaded revolver and a set of steel
dies used in changing numbers on
automobile engines. All the dies had
been used recently.
Morgan claimed to be an innocent
Good Samaritan. He said he was
driving along the highway in his car
when he found Haaker in distress,
and volunteered to. return to Coun
cil Bluffs and secure the needed re
pairs for the damaged car. He said
he was not acquainted with Haaker.
Officers believe the shipment
originated in St. Joseph; but Haaker,
who assumed all responsibility, said
he got it from a cache in southern
Iowa.
