BONNEVILLE, Clifford
Drunken Man Killed by Wife's Protector
Linlithgo, N.Y. Oct 11 - Clifford Bonneville died this afternoon at his home from the effects of gunshot wounds inflicted upon him by Foster S. Filler., a 17-year-old boy.
Bonneville was reputed to be worth 200,000 and 300,000. He would go on periodical debauches, and at such times misused his family. Monday he threatened to kill his wife and children, and they, six in all, fled for safety and protection to the home of a neighbor, John H. Filler.
Bonneville went to New York, returning last night. He was intoxicated and quarrelsome. He went to the Filler home, abused his wife and fired a bullet through the door and smashed in the door. At this young Foster Filler, who had been sleeping upstairs,put his head out of a window and told Bonneville to go away. Bonneville was about to pull his gun on Foster, when the young man grabbed a double-barreled shotgun and fired both charges at Bonneville. The man was mortally wounded and died shortly afterward. His wife confirms the statements of young Filler that there was justification for the shooting. Bonneville came from Allentown, PA, where his father was the founder of the Bonneville Cement company.
