Attempted Murder and Successful
RObbary

Last Saturday night a PARTY OF ne
groes entered the grocery store of John
Genochio, an Italian, residing on the
Poplar street turnpike, and assaulted in
a most brutal and savage manner Mr..
Genochio and wife, breaking the jaw
bone of the former and fracturing the
skull of the latter. The rufians after,
as they supposed, having killed the in
mates plundered the store and dwelling
of goods and valuables and escaped.
To-day Mr.. Genochio lies in a senseless
condition, but his wife has recovered
consciousness, and was enabled to give
some clue to the robbers. The attend
ing physicians regard the injured par
ties as being in most critical condition,
with but little hope Of recovery. The
police authorities have been on the alert,
and expect to effect the capture of the
murderous villains to-day.
