A DESPERATE ITALIAN
BOMBS IN HIS POSSESSION. FIVE POLICEMEN SHOT. (United Press Association.) (By B'eotrlo Telegraph—Copyright.) ROME, February 5. . (Received Feb. C, at 0 p.m.) Michell Schire, who recently returned from America, where he was spending money lavishly, was arrested in the doorway of the Foreign Office. He had in his possession bombs, and he confessed that he intended to attempt the life of either Signor Mussolini or the King. Schire desperately resisted the police, and drew a revolver and shot five of them, three being seriously wounded. He then turned the weapon on himself and inflicted a serious head wound. When his house was searched a miniature arsenal of bombs and arms was discovered.
