SHOT BY SPECTATOR BUENOS AIRES SENSATION 4 (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) •BUENOS AIRES, July 23. (Received July 24. at 11.30 p.m.) The Argentine Senate was to-day bitterly debating a Bill to extend Government control to foreign meat packers ■when a spectator, identified by the police as Ramon Vasquez Cora, started firing a revolver from the gallery, killing Senator Enzo Bordabehere, representing Santa Fe Province, and wounding Luis Duahau, Minister of Agriculture, and Rafael Mancini, who also represents Santa Fee. Gordabehere and Duahau were taking opposite sides in the discussion, and seemed about to engage in a fist fight when the shooting started. The police stated that' Cora is leader of the local Fascist movement. It is believed that he was serving as a bodyguard for his friend Senator Duahau, and that he shot Bordabehere to prevent him from attacking.the Minister. Cora's aim. : however, was faulty, and he wounded the man he was delegated to protect. It is thought that he must have entered the building accompanied by a senator, because all the others were searched for arms before they were allowed to enter.
