Arrest of an Italian
Who Attempted Murder
Chief of Police Voilmer Captured Man
Who shot Frank Gallagher. in
Danbury. June 15th.
Chief of Police Yoiltuer made an Im
porlant arrest this morning at the
Railroad station. taking into custody on
the arrival of the 0:56 train an Italian
named (lmrge Zimmer. alias Joseph
Cimiuo. who on June. 16th last came
within a sixteenth of an inch of being a
murderer. The trouble occurred in
Danbury on the date named. Zimmer.
who is a tailor. had been in a saloon
kept by Frank Gallagher. in Railroad
avenue. Danhury. The hour for clos
Ing the saloon arrived and Gallagher
put Zimmer out. so that he could close,
Zimmer. who. when drinking. has a
very violent temper. resented being put
out and drew a pistol. He fired two
shots at Gallagher. One of them took
effect and passed within a sixteenth of
an inch of Gallagher's heart. A slight
deflection of the course of the luillet
caused by Its glancing on one of his
ribs was all that saved the saloon keep-
er‘s life. Zimmer made his escape. di-
rectly after the shooting and disappear-
ed for a time. He went to Syracuse
and titles. N. Y.. where he remained
working at his trade until last Satur—
day, when he went to Daubury for the
purpose of joining two of his ltnlian
friends who vvere to start for Italy to
day. He. did not dare take the, train
from Danbury for New York. so he
went to Bethel. The police of Dan-
bury learned of this fact and sent Chief
Vollmer a description of him. The des-
cription was that he was five feet. six
inches in height. would weigh about
140. dark complexion and bad a small
moustache. When caught he had no
moustache and was found to differ in
several other respects from the den-
criptlou. Chief Vollmer picked him
out In the smoking car, however. On
his way to the station house (‘hief Voil-
incr asked Zimmer If he had stabbed
litllagher. "No. I shot him." was the
,reply. Two other Italians who were
with Zimmer iu the train were also on
their way to Italy.
Chief William Dauchy of the Dan-
bury force arrived here this morning
and took Zimmer to Danbnry on the
9:53 train. The charge against Zim-
mer Is “ assault with intent to murder."
The penalty may be twenty years in
state prison or more.

he became so grief stricken that he

Perpetual Motion
Caused Banks’ Irouble
Was Trying to Solve the Mystery. ano
Had Many Machines installed In
His Home.
The cause of the mania developed by
Frederick thinks. of 23 (‘euter avenue.
Norwxilk. who was taken to u snuitar
lum yesterday by Officer Leatherlaud.
Is believed to have been his vain at»
tempts to solve the problem of perpet-
ual motion. Mr. Banks has always
been an inventive genius. and at his
home there are many pieces of machin-
ery which have been constructed for
the purpose of making a perpetual mo-
tion machine. He also had a number
of machines in which electricity play
ed a part. and the control of electricity
was one of his hallucinations. He is
believed now to have been the man who
several days ago entered Daskam's
store In Stamford and wrenched the el-
ectric clock from the wall and threw it
on the floor, stating that it was an in-
fringement on some. of his patents. Mr.
Banks was apparently sane until the
Bridgeport Old Home Week. He at.
tended the celebration. His home. the
place where he was born. was directly
on the site of the D. M. Read store.
He had some copies of old newspa-
pers reproduced and hoped to sell them
In the city during the week. He was
disappointed In the way that they went
and worried over it. It was stated by
relatives today that there was really
vcry little trouble In getting Mr. Banks
to the sanitarinm, and that it was “(ill
necessary to use violence upon him
in order to accomplish the. result. It
was learned from the sanitaritim today
that. Mr. Banks still retains an halluci-
nation. which is to ‘he effect that he is
the reincarnated Christ and that be Is
getting ready to take control of the
world and reform it.

and trial of Sam. Parks the labor lead
er, on an extortion charge was con-
tinued before Judge Newburger today.

with the prisoner. whose face wore an
anxious look. He appeared a little
more haggard and pale than on yester-
day. but his eyes were keen and his
jaw firmly set. indicating that he was
as full of fight as ever.
