THE ITALIAN MYSTERY.
Officials Disputing Over the Money of q
Murdered Man.

Officials Disputing Over the Money of q
Murdered Man.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
STEUBENvILLE. October 3l.-The S234 taken
from Gallo's person after he was murdered by
Carose, is still in the possession of Marshal
Scott, while Coroner Starr thinks he ought to
have possession of it. The law provides that
all bills against such deceased persons shall be
paid, and the remainder turned over to the
county until heirs turn up to prove their
property.
Marshal Scott is still in Pittsburg, though he
has not found any trace of Carose. 1t is likely
that the latter had gone on through the city
and TO New York. from which place he has
probably sailed for Italy. 1t is said he was one
of the men blown up in the explosion on the
Hooking Valley Railroad a few years ago. and
it was there he received his marks, a crooked
mouth. teeth missing and one eye gone.
1t will be remembered that Carose decoyed
Gallo to the place where he was murdered and
| told him he was going to kill him. No reason
was given, and it is supposed 1t was one of the
many secret society murders laid to the doors
of the Italians.

Renewed Efforts 10 Have Homewood
Driving Park Utilized for
Building Purposes.
MR.. DRAPE KNOWS ALL ABOUT 1T,
But BE Won't Answer Questions for Few
Days-Secretary NcCracken's 0pin-
ion About the Matter.
TO-DATS GREAT FOOTBALL MATCH.
Baseball Sensation IN Chicago Sporting News Of
the Day.

The public will learn with surprise that
well defined efforts are being made once
more to have Honewood Driving Park cut
rent yesterday among business people, and
a representative Of this paper proved
that the rumor was absolutely true. The
information received was to the effect that
Real Estate Agent J. w. Drape was, in be-
haE of Mr.. Charles Lockart. trying to buy
a sufficient number of Homewood Driving
Park Association shares as to give con-
trolling interest in the organization. That
accomplished, the park would then be
utilized Tor building purposes.
Mr. Drape was seen and questioned on the
matter, and, in reply to the question: do
you know anything about the deal going on
regarding Homewood Park?" be said:
Il know ali about it, but emphatically
decline 10 answer any question, yea or nav. ="
is there any possibility of the park being
used fer building sites i'll the near future?''
was asked.
Il don't want to be discourteous, but tell
you that 1 won't answer any questions. Come
to me in about eight or ten days time, and
I'll tell you all about it.
Secretary McCracken, of the association,
was seen, and in answer to series oil ques-
tlons. he said: I'VE are quite aware OF what
is g,lng on. We know that MIR. Drape is
irving to secure stock for Mr.. Lockart so
as 10 give him and his friends the power to
break the track up into building lots. 1t Is
being stated that Mr.. Lockart and his
friends have a controlling interest already,
but that is not true. Ii it was true they
would not be going round trying to purchase
more stock. Some time ago Mr. Lockart
purchased a quantity of stock, doubtless
with the notion that the property would be
converted into building sites. However, let
me tell you that there is little or no fear OF
any such change being made. Those who
have at present the majority of stock mean
TO hold on to it, and well have races at
Homewood next year as usual.
Another official OF the association who de-
clines to have his name made public says:
There will indeed be a stubborn fight this
time over the future of the park. l am in
possession oil ali the facts OF the case, and
while do not think that the park will be
sold, am free to admit that those who are
making efforts TO haV e it sold are working very
hard and with some little success. But even
/: Mr.. Lockart and his friends secure q ma
Jority of stock there may be another snag
ahead of them that they are not looking for.
Il is a pity that the news has become pub
llc, but now that il has, nv opinion is to
the effect that those who want to sell the
park will not succeed. We need a race
course, and feel confident that the Home
wood track will be retained. The least said
about the matter at present the better"
