SECOND WIFE MAKES PLEA FOR BIGAMIST
Testifies for Traffic Manager in Divorce Action Brought by His First Spouse
When Mrs. Louisa KEHRER, of 459 Fifth-seventh street, asked Supreme Court 
Justice MAY to grant her a divorce from Felix KEHRER, traffic manager, his 
second wife appeared in court in his behalf, "because the defendant is not 
here to protect himself."
The plaintiff, through Martin H. LATNER, counsel, charged that her husband on Feb. 
10 last, married Miss Clara HOOPER and that he had represented himself to be 
single.  KEHRER was subsequently sent to the Raymond street jail by the late 
County Judge J. Grattan MACMAHON for ninety days for bigamy.  The divorce suit 
was based on the second marriage.
After Mrs. KEHRER had testified that she had married the defendant on 
September 1, 1912, KEHRER's second wife, who knew nothing of his first marriage 
at the time she married him, took the stand.  She wanted to say something for KEHRER.
Any "little word" that she could say for him, he deserved, she told Justice MAY.  
She expressed the opinion that his trouble was due to "mismating" in earlier days.  
KEHRER was served with the papers of the suit in the Raymond street jail. He 
offered no defense.  He is 41 years old.
Justice MAY awarded the plaintiff the divorce sought.

Shooting Accident
   A boy’s curiosity about the mechanism of a gun was the cause of a
fatal shooting in Richmond Hill last night.  Louis NILSSON, JR.,
15-year-old schoolboy of 127th street and 103d avenue, Richmond Hill,
accidentally shot and killed his brother, Herman, 7 years old, with a
revolver belonging to Patrolman Alexander DUGAN, of the Jamaica station,
a cousin of the boy.
   DUGAN, whose home is at 1232 Wick street, Richmond Hill, was off duty
and helping his aunt, Mrs. NILSSON in rearranging the furniture in the
house.  Before beginning the task, he hung his .32 calibre revolver in
its holster on a nail in the bathroom on the second floor.  While he and
Mrs. NILSSON were downstairs, Louis and Herman played on the floor
above.  Spying the revolver Louis took it from the nail and was removing
it from the holster to examine it and show his brother who was standing
in front, when it suddenly went off.  Herman fell to the floor, a bullet
in his chest.  When Louis saw what had happened, he called to his mother
and cousin.  Mrs. NILSSON collapsed at the sight of her wounded son.
   DUGAN notified the police and an ambulance took the injured lad to
Mary Immaculate Hospital Jamaica.  As Dr. DEBBIE was taking him into the
operating room, he died.  The bullet had entered the chest and left
through the back. Louis was questioned in the Richmond Hill station
house by Assistant District Attorney Frank PHILLIPS who said he was
convinced the shooting was an accident. Louis sobbed throughout the
interview.  He and his brother were inseparable companions.  The boy was
not arrested, but PHILLIPS requested his father to bring him to the
Jamaica Children’s Court on Friday.

October 16, 1923

 Shooting and riot
     Jamaica police today are using every effort to prevent the
recurrence of a race clash which broke out last night at Prospect and
Washington streets, Jamaica, in which Policeman James RIORDAN shot and
instantly killed Vincenzo PUCCARELLI, 35 years old, of 23 Brown street,
Jamaica.
     Two colored men are in Mary Immaculate Hospital, Jamaica, and ten
suspects were held while police are investigating.  So far no one
excepting PUCCARELLI has been identified as having anything to do with
the shooting.
     Miss Beatrice HOLLIDAY, of South and Washington streets, Jamaica,
was said to be the cause of the riot.  She took an automobile ride with
PUCCARELLI and another Italian on Saturday night according to what the
police have been able to learn.
     Obie BRIELSFORD, 35, of 339 Union Hall street and Washington
JACKSON, of S. Catherine street, went last night to tell the Italians to

keep away from the colored girl.
There is a great deal of difference in the stories told by various
persons of what then happened.
Vincenzo LUCENSSO, a brother-in-law of PUCCARELLI, said he advised
him to go home.  He then chased LUCENSSO and the two colored men and
began shooting.  Other shots began to fly from a group of Italians
nearby.  BRIELSFORD fell with a bullet in his jaw and JACKSON received a
bullet in the left armpit. Policeman RUMP, who was on duty nearby, heard 
the shooting and blew his whistle.  It attracted RIORDAN, who saw 
PUCCARELLI running away.RIORDAN gave chase and ordered the fleeing man 
to halt. Instead, it is said, PUCCARELLI turned and began emptying his
revolver at the patrolman.  RIORDAN then whipped out his own gun and
fired.  PUCCARELLI died in Mary Immaculate Hospital.
Reserves had been called from the Jamaica precinct and everyone in
the vicinity was searched for weapons. None was found.
The shooting occurred in the midst of about 500 persons.  The
bullets flew wild, but none of the spectators was hurt.
When the police arrived, a riot was in progress and they waded in
with drawn clubs and succeeded in establishing order after several
minutes of hard work.
Detectives WANZLING, MEHLING and GRABAU mingled with the crowd and
last night scoured the neighborhood, but they could find no arms.  They
were still investigating.
The detectives took ten persons to the Jamaica precinct, but
Assistant District Attorney PHILLIPS was unable to learn anything from
them.  They were let go.  Extra efforts will be made for some time to
prevent another outbreak.
