In the shadows in the basement of Elm Park church yesterday morning, man and a woman enacted what may be the final chapter of a story of illicit love which had its Inception more than a quarter of a century ago. The woman, thrice married, twica By Prestwood, Republican Staff Photo Mrs. Amelia Jones, who yesterday morning in Elm Park church figured in a shooting with her clandestine sweetheart, John Redmond, is shown above as she lay on a cot in the State hospital.

The photograph was taken with her consent after hospital authorities said that they would not permit a picture unless she had given her word. "I don't want to live," Mrs. Jones said and added, "He (Redmond) hounded me for twenty years." divorced, the mother of four children, Is Mrs. Amelia Jones, 50, 409 North Chestnut avenue. The man, also married, is John Redmond, 59, 326 Thirteenth avenue, an assistant janitor at the church.

Both are at the State hospital seriously wounded by bullets fired from a gun In the hands of Mrs. Jones yesterday morning, when she went to the church to attempt to break down her clandestine lover's determination that they should end the affair. Man's Condition Critical Redmond's condition is critical. Shot through the side, the bullet ploughing through his body to lodge in the skin on the other side, the West Scranton man, according to the police and the hospital surgeons, has little chance to recover. Mrs.

Jones, shot in the breast, Is conceded an even chance of living, although she insists that she wants to die. Her lover, weak and semiconscious, has shown little "fight," the doctors told detectives, and his apparent failure to put up a stnifjle against death may hasten his end. The shooting brought Into the open the tale of a love affair which had been known to the police, to members of the families, it is understood, and to the Rev. Dr. Henry H.

Crane, pastor1 of Elm Park. The Rev. Dr. Crane first heard of the relationship between Redmond and Mrs. Jones more than a year ago, and he proceeded to bring it to an end.

The woman, it Is said, made it clear that her marriage to Medlock, which occurred on Aug. 15. 1930, meant the end of her affair with Redmond, but subsequent developments indicated that this was not exactly true. The gunplay laid bare the story of a relationship between Mrs. Jones and Redmond which survived through the woman's three marriages, but which began to dissolve some time ago.

it is said, when the man decided to end the affair. Previously Tried Suicide When Mrs. Jones several months ago attempted to end her life in an Adams avenue rooming house, she told the police her story. Redmond was privately interviewed by a police officer at the time, it Is said, and he instated then that he had advised Mrs. Jones that he had broken off his relations with her.

This plan apparently failed to materialize, however, for Mrs. Jones yesterday told questioners at the hospital that she had been with Redmond practically every night during September, and that she had an appointment with, him for Monday night of this week, when he failed to appear.

Internes and nurses bustled about cn the second floor where the women's ward is located, but the grey eyed, thrice married "woman spake with a consistency that barred interruption as she 'told of the events that led up to the shooting yesterday morning in the quiet of the basement of Elm Park church.

While she was giving her story exclusively and the first time to a newspaperman, John Redmond, her clandestine sweetheart for thirty years, lay probably mortally wounded in a similar white cot in a private room on the fourth floor of the pital.

Frank Rivera, 23, 3500 Stone House lane, Philadelphia, a Porto Rican, and believed to be a moderp Interprtter of a mediaeval troubador, at 8:15 o'clock last night attempted to end his life by drinking a quantity of cleaning am monia in the corridor of the new post office building. Rivera, whose native name Is Al fonso Rivera Adam, speaking in Span ish through a representative of The Republican, told Lieut.

Harry Goerlitz and Patrolman Leo Hart he tried to commit suicide because a Honesdale girl, abetted by her mother, jilted him Tried Suicide Before He also declared he was out of work and "up against it." It was learned Rivera on Sept. 15, last, made a previous attempt on his life at Honesdale. He was confined to the Wayne County hospital for several days. Soliloquies, a card denoting Rivera was a linguist, novelist, playwright, and aesthetic, together with the manuscript of a novelette were found in Rivera's traveling bag. Finding of these odd throwbacks to the traveling troubador days gave rise to the belief that Rivera mind might have been strained somewhat by delving into the classics and heavy literature.

Expected to Recover Rivera will recover. He informed the investigators he wanted to die and left a note to a girl on the floor of the post office. Rivera was found floundering in the post office by Patrolman Leroy Chapman. Chapman at first thought he wis one of the many liquor offenders threading their way from the federal court raom on the fourth floor. A second examination convinced Chapman that Rivera was in distress and he rushed him to the State hospital.

ttMIMMMMMMnMII Photo by Schrlever FRANCIS O. STONE WILLIAM G. WATKINS Not only the anthracite mine workers but thousands of others, who revere his memory, will today Join in paying tribute to John Mitchell, immortal leader of the hard ccal workers. His body rests at Cathedral cemetery where a huge monument marks the grave and to where he was borne on Sept. 11, 1919.

Far from his native heath cf Braidwood, 111., he was laid to rest tiere In the city where his labors for the betterment of the miner were performed. Collieries to Be Idle The local observance will be general. All of the collieries will several locals will hold individual memorials and the officials of District 1, United Mine Workers, will conduct the customary graveside services. No time has been fixed for the cemetery visits, John Boylan, president of District 1. United Mine Workers, stated last night.

District officials and other miners will visit the grave during the morning both in groups and individually, he added. John Mitchell's career was akin with the rapid strides made by organized labor to its enviable position today in the economic life of the country with collective bargaining prevailing as the basis cf wages and working conditions. He was one of the youngest men ever to hold high office In the United Mine Workers. Kis career was cut eff by death at the age cf 49. An Orphan at Early Age He was born in Braidwood.

Feb. 4. 1870. the son of Robert and Martha Mitchell. H3 was left an orphan at an early age, his mother having died when he was two years of age and his father meeting with an accidental death when John was six years old.

At the age of 10, John Mitchell set out to make his own living. He went to work on a farm but the mining impulse was strong within him and three years later he began work in the coal mines at Braidwood as a door keeper. He left there at the age of sixteen and went to Braceville. 111. Then in 1885 he joined the assembly of the Knights of Labor and was a punctual and regular attendant at meetings.

Before he reached his majority he decided to see more of the world and he travelled to Colorado, New Mexico and the southern states earning his living and paying his way by working In the mines. In 1888 he returned to Illinois and went to work In the mines at Spring Valley. Later he returned to New Mexico and in 1891 he again returned to Spring Valley this lime to marry Catherine O'Rourke. Elected to Union Office Becoming Interested in trade unionist movements, Mr. Mitchell was elected president of the Spring Valley assembly of the Knights of Labor.

In 1890 he was elected delegate to the district convention of the United Mine Workers of America which had been organized that year. In 1896 he was elected secretary treasurer of the Illinois district and while holding this office succeeded in having a run of mine law and antitrust law enacted. In 1898 he was elected vice president of the United Mine Workers and the same year succeeded M. D. Ratchford as president.

He continued as president until 1908. When he assumed the office of president, the membership was 43,000. He saw the enrollment reach 300.000 before he died. It was here in the coal strike of 1902 that the qualities of leadership were best developed In John Mitchell. His career as head of the miners in the tumultous times of 1900 and more particularly In 1902 when the unheard of and undreamed of intervention of Theodore Roosevelt marked an epsch In the history of capital and labor in America.

Jo.in Mitchell, whom President Roosevelt referred to "a square man" emerged from this experience as a heroic figure in the ranks of union labor and as a man of extraordinary qualities as viewed and weighted by the American public. The anthracite miners also amalgamated into a ion per cent membership through Mitchell efforts and the closed shop still endures today. 3 Men Removed To Atlanta Prison Malone, Katz and Ren kufl Start Terms Three prisoners, two counterfeiters and a liquor violator, sentenced at the present criminal session to serve prison terms, were removed to the Atlanta penitentiary lat night In custody of Deputy United States Marshal Char'et Scull.

Scannell, according to the testimony, drank two of the drinks while Gallagher doused his. On the next visit, the agents testified to buying a pint of Golden Wedding, and twa more drinks.

Scannell stated he drained both glasxes. A pint and two more toddles of rye were bought on the third visit and Scannell again tes tified he drank both drinks. Attorney Edward McGovern. Wilkes Barre. counsel for Gomes, in cross examination asked Scannell what became of the drinks on the third trio.

"I drank them both. Agent Gallagher is drv." he retorted. Botn agents testified to finding a quantr.v of wine on the raid. Gome3 on the stand denied he ever made the sales. Questioning of Assistant District Attorney Joseoh Jenkins failed to shake him.

He admitted having the wine for "his own personal consumption." Judge Watson was inclined to place credence on the dry agents' testimony and adjudged hini guilty. Police Officers Testify When Gomes was called for sentence two police chiefs and two subordinate officers told the court they spent a great deal of time in Gomes restaurant but never saw any evidence of liquor sales. Chief Steohenson. Harvey's lake: Chief Avery. Kingston township, and Patrolmen Hendler and Elson told the court thev often made their headquarters at the Bon Air.

The officers further testified Gomes at no time soid intoxicants on the premises. The police officers' testimony probably saved Gomes from a jail fenience.
