Shot At His Wife

New York, 1895

The people living in the vicinity of the Bayes farm at East Meadow on Friday night were startled by the report of a pistol. James Bayes had attempted to kill his wife. Bayes formerly lived in Brooklyn. Officer Gildersleeve arrested Bayes upon a warrant issued by Justice Seamean. Mrs. Bayes made the complaint. A loaded pistol was found upon Bayes' person.


A Dishonest Farm Hand

Luke Maloy, who was employed by Silas A. Williams at Westbury and robbed his employer of $87, was arrested at Roslyn by Constable Seaman on Sunday. The officer found him secreted in a vacant house in a secluded part of the village. Justice Losea held Maloy for the action of the grand jury.


Threatened by Fire

The residence of Mrs. James L'Hommedieu, at Great Neck, narrowly escaped being burned Friday evening. The fire started in the basement near the furnace, and was caused by some timbers becoming overheated. It was extinguished with a trifling loss.
