NEW York. April 20-In Hoboken at
about a quarter of l o'clock this morning
Angelo Gaboth, thirty-fve years old, of
New York, murdered his mother-in-law,
dangerously stabbed his father-in-law and
was then killed by Conoquito Chinchella,
son of the murdered woman. A gen.
eral fight followed in which Gaboth's wife
was stabbed and also her brother.
Antino Chinchella aud bis wife and their
two sons, Conoquito and Anzelmo, aged
eighteen and twenty years respectively,
lived in three rooms at 1876 Grand-st.,
Hoboken. The house is a tenement. The
ChinChellas' daughter and her husband,
Angelo Gaboth, were visiting the Chinch-
elias last night. Gaboth was a shittIess
fellow OF evil disposition Mrs. Chinchella
had saved up some money and there is no
doubt that Gaboth knew about this and
wanted it. 1t looks as il his visit was
planned for the sole purpose OF securing
it and it is suspected that he contemplated
murder when he went with his wife to
visit her family.
When the retiring hour came last night.
Gaboth's wife slept in one room with her
mother and Gaboth slept in the second
room with the elder Chinchella, his father
in-law. Chinchella's two sons occupied
the third room. At 1890 o'clock this
morning while all the others were soundly
sleeping Gaboth arose from his bed, and,
with a stilletto in his hand, went into his
mother-in-law's room. The next inst ant
a shrek rang through the apartments. 1t
lasted but an instant, however, for Gaboth
with one blow had sunk his stilletto in the
abdomen of his mother-in-law. The cry
or the dying woman slightly aroused her
husband in the next room, but the sound
not being repeated, he rolled over in bed
and went to sleep again.
Gaboth's wife, sleeping with her mother
made no sign or motion, remaining per-
fectly quiet. The blood from her mothers
wound ran over her, but still she did not
stir. 1t seems, therefore, that she was
we'll aware of what her husband was do
ing and it looks as if she was a party to
the plot to murder her own mother.
Gaboth stole again into the room where
old Chinchella slept and moment later
he thrust the stilletto into the neck of the
latter He meant to end the old mans
life with one blow, but he missed the vital
spot. AS the blow descended Chinchella
gave cry which woke up Conoquito, his
son, who was sleeping with his brother in
the next room.
Conoquito jumped from his bed, looked
through the door into his fathers room
and took in the situation at a glance. He
quickly seized his own stilletto and sprang
at Gaboth like tiger.
A fierce contest followed, the two men
| fighting up and down the room. striking
at each other, but wardlng off each others

out of bed, flung herself between the
| combatants and partly separated them,
but was stabbed twice herself in doing SO,
though not dangerously. Then Chinch-
| elias older brother seized his sister, tore
her away from the contestants and let the
| two men fight it out. A moment later
| Gaboth flung up his arms with loud cry
| and fell dead upon the floor, young
| Chinchella having driven his stlletto
| through Gaboth's left eye into his brain.
| AS Gaboth was falling Chinchella drew
out his weapon and plunged it into the
others left side, piercing the heart

the conflict had aroused the other in hab-

for admittance, and to the new corners,
Frank Gerigalla and Joseph Caperaut,
young Chinchella explained the terrible
scene of bloodshed. Gericalla land Cap
eraut advised him to go to police head

geant in charge detained him and DR..
Simon hastily dressed young Chinchella's
wounds, which he had received in the
fight with 'Gaboth. Chinchella was
stabbed during the fight, but not danger

Old Chinchella was removed in an am

speak. Mrs. Gaboth and young Chin
chella's brother were also taken to st.
Mary's hospital. The bodies of Mrs Chin
chella and Gaboth were taken to Pars-
