Mrs. Andrew Boszori in Cell Awaiting Outcome of Wound She Inflicted on Spouse; Says it May Be Better if He Dies Mishawaka Woman Confesses.

"In 10 years in jail I would not suffer like 1 did one year with him. Maybe it would be belter ho would die, better for him and -better for me. if he does live ami leaves me then sumo other poor woman might have to suffer the way I have suffered." Mrs. Andrew Boszori. 22 years old. sitting in is. cell in the county jail where Fhe) awaita the outcome of tho wound Inflicted when .she Hhot her husband, Andrew iloszori, when he was returning early Sunday morning utter a night of gayety at Washington hall, talked freely to a reporter Monday regarding her act. In the sentences above she summed up hr attitude regarding the crime. Shortly after tho shooting, however, she was hysterical and according to oilicers she wept bitterly and prayed for her husband's recovery. Mrs. Ina Strobbeleire of Mishawaka. the assailant in the other week-end tragedy which came as a climax to domestic difficulties Monday morning adndtted that she lired tho shot which probably fatally wounded her husband, Paul Strobbelerie, w ho is lying in a critical condition at St. Joseph's hospital, Mishawaka. Sho made her statement to Deputy Pros. Samuel Schwartz. The shooting occurred when Strobbeleire returned early Sunday morning from his work and found his wife with another woman and and two men drinking at a table. JkHori in Serious Condition. Andrew Boszori is in a serious condition at Epworth hospital, according to attending physicians. Mr. and Mrs. Boszori lived at 812 W. Sample st. About 5 o'clock Sunday morning the wife met Boszori at S. Chupin and Orchard sts. "I a,;, going to kill you," she Is said to have cried as she pulled the gun and rlrod. The shot was tired at such close range that the powder burned through lioszori's clothes. The bullet took effect in his back and he fell instantly. He was hurried to the Kp worth hospital, and his wife, with her 10-months-old baby, was taken to the jail. The man's condition did not improve Monday. Three times the wife had gone Saturdnj' idht to whore her husband was spending his tlmo in Fport and had tried to pot him to return home, but to no avail. It was not alone because he remained that night that she shot him; it was the thought that she must bear the same, treatment all her days that finally caused her to decide that she must do something to arouse her husband to what he was doing to her, the woman explained Monday. Woman TclLs Story. Hesitatingly and In broken English the littlo woman went Into detail concerning the year that she had spent with Andrew Boszori whom she had married despite the protest of neighbors who said, "he was so mean when ho was drunk." For a time after their marriage, explained the wife, Andrew did not drink much for he was afraid that she would leave him but then after a while he decided that she would not want to bo left alono and so he began to drink and habe a good time with his "pals." Mrs. Boszori had been married before and she had with her a year-old daughter, Margaret, when she married Andrew. It was when ho began to abuse her little trirl that she first protested to him. "Ho would walk right by me when 1 was holding tho little girl," the mother related, "and ho would just hit her and then Just laugh If T &ay the girl ain't done nothing to him. "And then ho would never give mo any money at all. He mado sometimes $3S at the factory but he would put tho money in his trunk and lock it up anil never givo mo any. I say to him what can 1 do If I have no money and then he say he earn his money and he do as he please with It and I lean earn money too, 1 can flirt with the men that board with us and they will give mo money. He say I can do as I d please but I ain't the kind of a woman that can do such thincs." Once; Kickctl Her. "He would hit me many times and then ono time he kicked me in tho stoniach. and, when 1 was lying on tho tloor, ho was goinu" to jump on me but the neighbors they come in and made him quit." Sho had not meant to kill her husband. Mrs. Boszori said. but she thought that perhaps if she hurt him then ho might be better to her. .She could not admit that she was sorry for what sho had done. 1 think maybe that It would bo bettor if ho lied." paid ?ho, "better for htm. and for me and then if he dots live and leave? me then some other poor woman would have to suffer the way I have suffered." Tho gun that the woman used belonged to her brother-in-law, J,ouis Boszori, who boarded with them. Louis, she said, hnd always been good to her and had often tried to get his brother to be better to her and not to Pinmd all of his time with his bad companions. .S.indav morning at 11:."m o'clock. Dr. J. IS. BerteliniT. assisted by Dr. ovnr Von Barandy. who was called to attend tho wounded man, extracted the bullet from Boszori's body. It had penetrated his kidneys and liver and had nearly broken the llesh in his loor left side. 0:!u er Czenkusch. who was near the scene of the shooting when it occurred, sent in a hurry patrol call. Bojorl was hurried to the hospital and Dr. Von Barandy wa-s called to attend him. Mrs. Boszori wis placed under arrest by otheer Karl Parker and taken to the county jail. "Only Man For Her." "I don't want Andrew to die," she

sobbed to tho olticers. "He is the only man on earth that 1 love. I would sutler the rest of my life if he could only lie." She carried to the jail with her the 10 months old baby, while her first child by marriage remained at home. During the time she was gone to the danc e, hall to persuade her husband j to come home this child cared for the baby. She told the police thai she could spend only a few minutes away in trying to bring back Boszori. L.ouis Boszori is a brother of the man who was shot. Friends of Mrs. Bosrori declare that Louis was responsible largely for Andrew's leaving home. They say that he often urges the husband to go from t he house, and spend the evenings in other company. Brother N Held. He was arrested for attempting to take the revolver with which Mrs. Boszori shot her husband, away from Olticer Czenkusch. After the policeman had picked up the gun the man attacked him, it is said, and attempted to wrest the weapon from him. Ho created a scene by his actions In at- i tempting to be permitted to accom- j pany his brother to the hospital. : The police acceded to his lequest and allowed him to accompany them to tho hospital. After they arrived there young Boszori slipped away. Officer Parker was sent after him and after spending three hours in search finally located the young man at a residence on Ford st. Several places were searched before Bojuri was found. There were many witnesses to the shooting, as a number of Bosori's friends were walking with him at the time. It is said that some of these, saw Mrs. Bojori approaching and scented trouble. "Aro Not to Blame." "We are not to blame for thia." they aro alleged to havo told Boszori when they saw hLs wife. Jt is reported to the police that Bojori attacked his wife with a chair when she came to Washini;ton hall nfter him. Others interfered and the woman was not hurt, but Bojori would not go home. Neighbors told the police that the man has been treating his wife cruelly and that during the past week he attempted to cut her with a knife. She is said to have taken tho knife from him although she suffered several slight wounds on the hands during the encounter. The police nay that Boszori was not intoxicated when shot. ARRESTED IN ITALY. RELEASE Attitude of the Government in Quelling Anti-German Demonstrations Indicates Neutrality Will Be Manifested. ROM F!. April 12. Six hundred prisoners arrested in riots caused by prowar demonstrations in Rome, Brescia, Loghorn, Naples and other cities, were released today on the payment of small lines or with warnings. The firm attitude taken by the government in repressing the riots shows that Italy intends to preserve neutrality for the present at least. Fortv men forming oart of a mob that attempted to approach the residence of Prince von Buelow. tho German ambassador, were badly injured when troops charged through the crowd. This is the most serious clash that occurred in Home on Sunday, but another outbreak in Pllotta square resulted in 17 persons being wou; ' led. While the pro-war demonstrations were taking place here every street leading the embassies, consulates and royal palace was closed by troops, who were on duty to check the expected rioting. C3.0OO Cheer for War. The various meetings called by the interventionist leaders were attended by 63,000 persons, who cheered the addresses calling upon Italy to join the allies and jeered every mention of Austria and (lermany. Prof. Benito Myssolino, editor of the interventionist daily, Populo Italia, wa-s arrested just pr he began a harangue against the government. Tho crowd attempted to rescue him from the police, but after seven persons had been knocked unconscious the editor was conveyed to headquarters. Among those who attempted to nsoue Myssollnl was Signer Marinetti. the futurist leader, who had come here from Milan with his followers. Marinetti was also arrested. The situation became worse as darkness fell, and cavalry and mounted carbineers charged the crowds, many being trampled or bruised. In the meantime, the supporters of neutrality had organized a counterdemonstration in Termini squ.-ire. This provoked additional disorders. I Hiring tho evening car service was partially suspended in the center of the city. Pispatches from other cities state that similar conditions prevailed there during the day.

PRO-WAR RIOTS

GERMAN SKIPPER EXPECTS TO RUN BRITISH CORDON

Captain of Kron Prinz Wilhelm States He Can Get Out Unseen as Easy as He Came Into Newport Mews. OFFICIALS BELIEVE RAIDER WILL INTERNE Authorities Request Immediate Reply from Commander Relative to His Stay in Amer ican Waters Crew Is NKWPORT NKWX. Va., April 1 '2. "We arrived here without being s'en by the enemy and we can get out in the same way." This statement was made today by Capt. Paul Thierfelder, commander of the last of the German raiders, Kron Prinz Wilhelm, which safely dashed by the eordon of cnwiiy cruisers off the cape yesterday. Sixty-one prionrs. on th- raider taken when she sank tho I'.ritish ships Tamar and Coleby, were put ashore. This action was taken on request of British Vice-Consul Ken-worthy. Preparations also were made to take on board 150 tons of coal and provisions for three days. The Germans had -asked for COO tons of coal to he used pending the nuxkin of repairs. Fifty tons of water also was put aboard. While the otficers and men of the Kron Prinz Wilhelm, as did those of the Bitel, insist that they will put to Ke;l again, there is littlo doubt here that she v. ill follow the course finally adopted by her sister raider intern. Sank 1 1 Men Iiant Ships. Since she left New York. Aug. on her mission of destroying merchant ships of the enemy, the Kron Prinz Wilhelm sank 14 merchantmen valued at $7,000,000. The United States authorities requested Capt. Thierfelder to give immediate reply to the query as to tho duration of his stay in American waters. The German commander then notilied tho customs otlicials that it might be neeesasry lor him to invalid some of the members of his crew because they are suffering from beriberi. Tho sinking of the Norwegian bark Somatiiha by the Kron Prinz Wilhelm is regarded here as a parallel case to the sinking of the American ship William P. Frye by the Prinz jruel Kriederich. Otlicers of the Kron Pinz Wilhelm declare they were justiiled in sinking the Semantha because she carried wheat contraband. Yet the question of the regularity of the Kron Prinz Wiihelm's clearance papers, when she sailed from New York on Aug. 30 has not been called into question, but it may be. Commander Thierfelder cleared his ship for Bremen, but the ship war warned by wireless to discontinue her voyage, while at sea and she was then titted out as a commerce raider. Tho naval tug Paiistehwcn which guarded the Prinz Bitel Kriederich has taken up her position near the Kron Prinz Wilhelm, and will keep watch and ward over that ship. DAMI'hS AWAITS WORD. WASHINGTON, April 12. Sec'fcv of the Navy laniels up to this time had not received the request of Capt. Thierfelder. of the German raider, Kron Prinz Wilhelm, for an immediate survey of his ship, but the secretary expected to hear at any moment from Admiral Beatty, commandant of the Norfolk navy yard, that the German commander had isked for supplies and time to make repairs. Admiral Beatty, he said, would then apopint a board of survey to determine what repairs were necessary. In the case of the Prinz Bitel Friederich, this work required more than three weeks. Tho Kron Prinz Wilhelm is understood to be in much better condition. Hence the will be obliged ' i leave New port New s or intern within a short time. Navy otlicers practically were unanimous In predicting that the Kron Prinz Wilhelm would intern. SCHOOL CENSUS MEN BEGIN ACTIVE WORK: GEO.
