The Hastings Court was engaged
yesterday mainly in the trial of Genaro
Denti, charged with feloniously shoot
ing Alfonzo Renzo. The witnesses ex.
smined could not speak English, and
Mr.. A. Baratti was called in as in
teIpreter.
Reno and Denti are shoemakerS and
they were engaged in business together
on west Broad street. On the evening
of January 10th they had dispute,
which resulted in a fight. Reno struck
Denti blow and they clinched, and a
scuile ensued. Denti was thrown to
the floor, and Reno kicked him two or
three times, then drew revolver and
attempted to shoot Denti.
An old man named Matteo Manceni,
who was present, interfered, separated
the combatants, aud persuaded Denti
to 90 into the back room. AS he was
going into the room Reno snapped the
revolver at him the second time. Den.
ii took up a double-barrel gun and fired
at Reno through a broken pane Of
glass. Mancini at the time had one
hand on the door-latch and the other
on ReDzo's breast trying to keep him
from shooting, and the load from Den
tbs gun lodged in his hand and in Rem
zo's breast.
Mr.. Wyndham R. Meredith, who was
acting Commonwealth's Attorney, upon
hearing this testimony stated to the
court that the shooting of RenzO was
case of self-defence, as the witnesses for
the Commonwealth testified that RenzO
had knocked Denti down, and after
wards made two attempts to shoot him
with bis revolver, when he was shot by
Denti.
The jury rendered a verdict Of not
guilty Of shooting Renzo, and on the
charge of shooting Manceni nolle
proSegui was entered.
William Otey, charged with break
ing into and entering the house of Ed
ward Pagan, was convicted and seat to
the penitentiary for three years.
Richard Allen, charged with the anne
offence, was acquitted.

of which was taken by one OF
Richmond's well-known merchants, aud
