A TRAGIC AFFAIR
ONE PRIEST SHOOTS ANOTHER.
Received April 13, 8.30 p.m. NEW YORK, April 13.
A message from Kalamazoo, Michigan, states that while at dinner table. Father Charles Dillon, assistant rector of the local Catholic Church, shot and killed Father Henry O’Neill, rector of the institution. Father Dillon explained that he had been driven to fury by illtreatment from Father O’Neill for a long time, and to-day armed himself in expectation of a quarrel, which materialised when the two men met. Father O’Neill asked Father Dillon to pack up and gen out. Father Dillon responded by firing upon his superior. Members of the congregation declare that Father Dillon suffered a nervous breakdown recently.
