Taking his revolver from under his pillow he shot at one of the kidnapers, lie waked to find that he had fifed the bullet Into the head of his wife. He Insisted that he had no farther knowledge of the act. Here Is his story told In detail to a reporter for the New York Tribune : It seemed to me that two men had come through the window of my home; that one had tied a handkerchief about my boyB eyes and placed him In a large sack. It was so very . real that, even now, I swear to you on the of the VlrgtiT Mother, IcauTianny believe It was not so. I had never been a man to dream. I never walked In my sleep. But for several weeks I had leen very nervous over the Black Hand letters. , You know, among my people It Is a common practice for a certain class of men to try to prey on others who have been successful and have made a little money.

I pounded on the floor of my. home with my shoe and my brother, who lived on the floor below with his wife, hurried upstairs In accordance with the signal we had arranged In ease of danger. He saw what had lmpiened and ran for the doctor. When the doctor came my wife was dead. Investigation by the authorities uncovered these facts; For several months Saplenia had been receiving black hand letters demanding $2,000, under penalty, If he refused, of having his son, the eldest of three children, kidnaped and killed. More than six weeks before Mrs. Saplenta was shot the manufacturer had taken one of these letters to Chief of Police A. 8. Green of Irvington, and had begged that detectives be assigned to euteh the men who, he said, were threatening his sons life. Chief of Police Green detailed two of his men to follow Saplenta, but when they arrived at the place where the money was to have been paid over they found no one there to meet the manufacturer. The chief of police of Newark also sent men to watch for the writers of the letters, but they did not find theta. Nevertheless, additional letters continued to arrive, the last being received by Saplenta a few days before the shooting. In addition to the usual signature This missive was gruesoniely decorated with what seemed to he the blood spots, as a vivid reminder of the fate In store for young Saplenta unless the father desisted frouT hlT efforts to catch the criminals and paid over the money demanded by them. Residents in the vicinity of ISO Colt street where Saplenta lived, agreed that he and his wife htd alwnys lived affectionately together. The manufacturer, the neighbors said, had never been seen with any other woman. Chief of Police Creep of Irvington asserted that Saplenta had always had an excellent reputation. - I don't want to prejudice the case, said the chief, "but I can't help hut be Inclined to believe his story. The prosecutor of Newrk-of-whlIrvington Is a suburb) thereupon established a precedent In murder cases In his Jurisdiction by moving for the release of Saplenta on $10,000 ball, and the manufacturer left court in company with Louis A.

Plumb, a manufacturing chemist of Jersey City, was impelled to write tha following letter to the prosecutor of Newark: I am strikingly reminded of a painful experience of mine many years ago, and I relnte It to you for what It may be worth as bearing somewhat rorroboratively upon the Saplenta case. Early In my married life I was In the habit of sleeping with a revolver under the mattress at the head of my bed. I kept It there because It was equally as accessible but much less In danger of accidental discharge as when under my pillow. One night I had a wild dream of grappling with a. burglar, and was awakened by my wlfea scream, of by my own action, or both, to find,, to my horror, that I had my wifes head under my left ann while I was digging for my revolver with t - TOO Back to the Beginning.

It "was all over In a minute, with no serious damage being committed, hnt It was a dreadful thing, as I had naturally grabbed my wife roughly. It made me realize that I might have killed iny beloved wife had 1 secured the weapon before fully awaking, as would have been quite probable had it been a little handier under the pillow. Never again, I said, and the revolver has been banished to an even less accessible place. The literature of dreams Is voluminous, as Is to be expected from man's Interest In these mysteries of that mystery we call sleep. Science, attempting to clnsslfy dreams, has set aside a class which It calls nightmares or Incubuses. To those which go beyond the limits of the ordinary nightmare It has applied the name "somIn this class are Innambulistic automatism. cluded the nocturnal adventures In which, persons commit violent acts of which they retain no waking knowledge.

Certain It is thatwe have little exact knowledge of the essential nature of consciousness, even in our waklng hours. We do know, however, that merely a portion of the mental, life Is represented In clear consciousness. Many complex brain processes .are carried on In the presence of a consciousness so slight as to be practically absent, and the organic functions of the -- human machine without any con- seiousness whatever.. There Is a theory that dreams are frequently merely the working out of suppressed desires. Several of the criminologists, somewhat in x .ration of this theory, hold that the commission of crimes during sleep Is entirely possible under certain conditions. They express the belief that the rower of suggestion is so strong that In some cases of somnambulistic automatism the sieejier Is the victim of and carries out the Idea which in his waking moments had obsssed him. Sajs Dr. Smith Ely JellifTe of New York, au-- t tiior of a work which devotes considerable spare to disordered dreams: Without in any way Judging the facts In the Sspienza case, it must be admitted that a crime like his under such circumstances as alleged ly the defendant is entirely possible.
