PRIEST SLAIN IN CHURCH AS MASSCLOSES Charge of First-Degree Murder Is Faced by Young Mother. By United Press CANTON. 0., March 11.—Mrs. Mary Guerrieri, 27, today faced a first degree murder charge for the fatal shooting of the Rev. Joseph Riccardi, 32, as he concluded 8 o’clock mass Sunday morning in St. Anthony's Catholic church here. Despite long questioning by police Mrs. Guerrieri still clung to her story—that she shot Father Riccardi 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 followed. Five shots rang out and Father Riccardi crumpled to the floor, mortally wounded. Two of the five bullets found their mark—one in the priest’s neck and the other in his abdomen. He died Sunday night following an operation for the removal of the bullets. Quarrel Over Church Site Nick Guerrieri, 33, husband of the gunwoman. knew* nothing of his wife's suspicions until Sunday, he told police. He further added “she did right to shoot him.” “If she is sentenced to the electric chair,” he said, “I want to go in her place.” Father Riccardi, born in Italy, was ordained shortly before the dedication 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 location to its present one w hie If 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 shooting. 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 woman’s story of mistreatment of her daughter is untrue.” Bishop Schrembs, who was at the bedside of ■ Father Riccardo when the latter died Sunday night, said the old location of St. Anthony’s church was in a district regarded by some as a most unsuitable neighborhood. He said there had been expressions of dissatisfaction from certain of the Italian element since the removal of the church’s location.
