New York, Feb. 24-John Schweitzer, a
butcher, aged forty-five years. was mur-
dered last night at Harlem, it is supposed
by Louis Palmero, an Italian, at peanut
stand kept by Louise Jackson. Palmero is
supposed to be her husband. Schweitzer
bought some peanuts at the stand. He is
said to have been partly drunk and fell
against the stand. Louise Jackson scolded
in return. He threatened to upset the
stand. An Italian standing by, and who is
supposed to have been Louis Palmero,
pushed him away from the stand.
The men had angry words, and the Italian
drew from his breast-pocket six-inch scis-
sors-blade, ground sharp and struck it into
Schweitzer's breast. 1t penetrated the bone
and stuck fast. In an attempt to twist it
round the blade snapped about the middle.
SchweitZer fell backward to the street, ex-
claiming as he did so, "My God, Pm MUIR
dered" He died almost at once. The
murderer and some twenty companions
who had stood by all dispersed, but were
afterward arrested. Louise Jackson began
to cry, closed her stand and went home.
Palmero says the murder was committed
by Michael DeWassa, better known as big
Mike" a notorious frequenter of 'Helrs
Kitchen" The police are looking for De-
Wassa.
The broken scissor blade was found close
by the scene of the murder, and beside it a
large gold ring bearing Masonic emblem.
This ring fitted Palmero, and red mark
was found around one of his fingers.
Schweitzer was quarrelsome. He had a
daughter seventeen years old and stepson
younger.
