YOUNG POTTER BADLY WOUNDED
Peter Malone In Serious Condition From Italian Stilletto Cuts.
DEATH VISITS HOME
Some Mystery Shrouds the Death of Mrs. John Clendenning
Death has cast its shadowy mantle over the Clendenning home, 221 Oblique street. In one room lays the cold inanimate body of Mrs. John Clendenning, aged 21, who succumbed to an attack of heart failure Monday afternoon (October 22, 1911) at 1:15 o'clock and about whose death there is some mystery; in the next room Peter Malone is prostrate as the result of a desperate battle with two unknown Italians on West Sixth street early Monday morning, in which he received 18 deep gashes from stilletto thrusts.
An impending shadow of gloom and pessimistic hopelessness seems to pervade the Clendenning home; listlessness is evident in the bearing of its inmates. The spirit of Mrs. Clendenning is beyond recall and what hope remains seems centered in the prospects of Malone's recovery. Over a score of stitches were necessary to close his wounds, and the exact status of his case nor his chances for recovery has not yet been determined.
Mrs. Clendenning had been ill several days, but at noon Monday seemed in a normal although not exceedingly cheerful condition and greeted her husband on return from his duties for the noon-day meal. However, at 1:15 other inmates in the house heard her give a little gasp, and on rushing to the room found the unfortunate woman dead. Her mother, Mrs. Susan Bennet of Rochester, Pa., and the husband survive. The funeral will be held at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Interment in Riverview cemetery.
