M0NAGHAN ASSAILANT
INDICTED ON 3 COUNTS
Plea of Berardino, Who At
tacked Service Commissioner,
to Be Insanity
Lufgi dt Berardino. a real estate agent
of 1110 Kllsworth street, who attempted
to shoot John llonaghan. Public Service
Commissioner, today wns Indicted on
three counts by the (Jrand Jury Im
mediately after he had been held under
$10,000 ball for court by llnglstrate Bea
ton In the Central Police Station.
The indictments were for assault and
battery with intent to kill, carrying con
cealed deadly weapons and wantonly
pointing a pistol. Unless the prisoner
enters ball, the cases probably will come
up In the Criminal Court on Monday or
Tuesday.
C. 'Stuart Patterson has been retained
to represent dl Berardino. Attorney Pat
terson, regardless of the report of phy
sicians of the psychological ward nt the
Philadelphia Hospital, Inclines toward the
belief that dl Berardino is suffering a men
tal breakdown, and will base the defense
on that point
The alleged attempt to shoot llr. llona
ghan occurred February 14. in the restau
rant ot the Hotel Wllmot. on South Penn
square. It Is said that Dl Berardino be
lieved that llr. llonaghan, as Assistant
District Attorney, was responsible for a
legal action brought against him on a
charge of conspiracy, on which he was
acquitted.
The most significant testimony brought
against the defendant today was that of
Michael Spatola, a lawyer living at 5901
Spruce street, who said that prior to the
alleged attempted shooting dl Berardino
came to him and asked what defense he
could make if he shot and killed llr.
llonaghan and suggesting that he could
use the unwritten law successfully as a
defense.
"I advised him against any violence,"
the lawyer testified, "and told him that
any such action would cause him to
suffer as well as tils wife and family.
I also told him frankly that I believed
he would go to the electric chair if he
killed Mr. Monaghan."
Dl Berardlno.astonlshed nil at the h cur
ing" by cross-examining witnesses him
self, lie was not represented by a law
yer, yet the acuteness of his questions was
remarkable. lie studied law for several
years, but was never admitted to the bar.
At the conclusion of the teslmony
offered by the police, witnesses and for
mer acquaintances of dl Berardino, the
defendant said In his own defense:
"I never wanted to kill Mr- llonaghan,
I only wanted to scare him and to bring
out a, scandal. I did not go to the restaur
ant to kill him. It Is my custom to go
there three times a week. The gun I
pointed at him was rusty; It had lain un
touched in a satchel for three years. I
want to expose this scandal which existed
in the Dlartlct Attorney's office, where llr.
Monaghan was receiving his regular sal.
ary and carrying on a private law prac
tice." Immediately after Berardino was held in
ihe Central Station, the Grand Jury In
dicted him on three counts, finding true
bills against him for assault and battery
with intent to kill, carrying a concealed
deadly weapon and pointing a revolver.

before the New Jersey Public Utilities
Commission to increase its fares and re
duce Us schedule was heard in Camden
today when James K. Pyle, engineer and
transit expert, of West Chester, said in

tion should be granted. The company
is seeking to raise the rate from Moores
town to Mt, Holly from 10 to 15 cents, and
likewise from Mt. Holly to Burlington,
making the entire fare 30 cents Instead
of 20 cents. The company also desires to
change Its half hour schedule to an hour
schedule, on the ground that there Is not
sufficient traffic to warrant the con
tinuation ot the present schedule.
Mr. Pyle testified before Italph W. E.
Donger, chairman of the commission, that
It was necessary for the company to in
crease Us fares in order to obtain money
enough to provide for power in the future.
The company's old power houses could be
put in first class condition for $20,000. -he
said, or a contract could be made with
the Public Service Corporation for the

latter . He alo said the company

ATTACK ON MOTHER
COSTS BOY HIS LIFE
Arthur Wall Dies of Shot Fired
by His Father, a Cripple,
to Save Wife
Arthur Wall. 18 years old. 2040 Whar
ton street, paid with Ills IITe for an at
tack on Ills mother with a butcher knife
on the evening of February 7 in their
home when he died last night nf tetanus
at the Presbyterian Hospital.
The disease developed from a revolver
! bullet wound In the lioy'H left wrist.
which was Inflicted by his father. Harry
Wall, a cripple, to save Mrs. Wall from
her son.
House Sergeant Freeman, of the 20th
and Federal streets station, said today
that the case was one for the Coroner.
"The hoy's father." he said, "was dis
charged hy Magistrate Itrlggs on Febru
ary S. the day after the shooting, nnd we
will tnko no further action unless advised
to do so by 'tlie Coroner." ,
Mr. and Mrs. Willi are prostrated to
day over the death of Arthur. Efforts to
console Wall have been In vain, for ho
feels directly responsible for the death of
tho boy. It Is believed tho mind of young
Wall was unbalanced when he attacked
Ills mother. For many months lie had
been brooding over the death of his 13-year-old
brother Albert, who was killed
last Master, when a chauffeur threw a
screwdriver at him. The boy had been
throwing snowballs at the man.

CAMDENITE BOMBARDS
ELOPING WIFE'S HAVEN
Salvadore's Boarder Alleged to
Have Stolen Her All
Arrested
Shooting all entire box of cartridges
through a house in an effort to persuade
your wife to come out. Is frowned upon
by tho Camden police', even If the wlfo
has eloped with another man. Therefore
when Salvadoro Arena tried It today in
Camden he was arrested.
Salvadore's arrest was the culmination
of a series of marital dlitlcultles all due,
he says! to Lugi Cupula, a boarder In his
home, nt 321 Stevens street. liven before
Salvadore was arrested with tlie pistol In
'his hand, lie hud been thrown uncere
moniously out of the house '(lib? which ha
was shooting, at 211 Walnut street.
Salvadore yesterday threw Luigl out, of
the bouse Then. he and his wlfo became
reconciled until Luigl reappeared and shot
off u big pistol. This display of bravery
resulted In Ilosalina leaving her husband
and going to the Walnut street house.
Salvadore followed In an effort to get her
to return but In vain.
It was then that ho returned' I.ulgl's
compliment by shooting through every
window In the front of the house. L'pon
his arrest, Salvadore swore out a warrant
for his wife and Luigl. Rosalina pleaded,
gultly, Luigl not guilty, and 'they were
both held under J300 ball for court by
Recorder Stackhouse. Luigl was also held
under $500 additional ball for assault and
battery on Salvadore, when he threw him
out of the house.
For his "place in the sun," Salvadore
was held In J500 ball for court for carry
ing concealed weapons.
