most instantly killed Polo Garlli. The
shooter was arrested Immediately and the
wounded man conveyed TO the Receiving
Hospital, where he expired in a few mo-
ments Two shots were fired, but only
one took effect That passed directly
through the heart.
Louis Gracia, the booIkeeper of the
firm where the shooting occurred, said
only few words passed between the
men. He heard Venaglio say to Garlli:
Are you going to pay me what you owe
me?' He heard no reply to this, and in
an instant later ne heard the shots and
saw Garli fall to the floor. The other
man ran away.
After his arrest he was seen in tho
North Harbor Police Station and asked
why he shot Garlli. He replied in broken
English that the man owed him $500 and
would not pay him. Every time he asked
him for the money he would want to
light him. Il need my money very bad.n

Italian, about 45 years of age, and was
one of the oldest fruit-dealers of tho city.

few months ago they had dispute about
wages, when the latter left him. Since
then they have been enemies. One man
declared that 5000 was due him, and the
other denied that he owed him cent.
Garlli had left his fruit store but half
hour before, and went down to the Mar
TIM Company's for the purpose of order
ing more stock. He had just entered the
store when Venaglio stepped up behind
him and accosted him. Garlli turned

MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY.
The Mangled Body of Young Lad
Found in q Railroad Yard

Inc Mangied BODY OF Young Lady
Found in a Railroad Yard.
CHICAGO, Nov. "a mysterious trag-
edy, which is exciting much interest.
elected provokingly unsatisfactory YER
dict in the Coroner's jury here to-day
The victim was well-dressed, but un-
identified girl of Is or 20 years, who must
have been very beautiful in life. Her
mangled body was found in lonesome
railroad yard, near Artesian avenue and
KenZie streets, a maze of tracks and
standing freight cars.
A theory has been advanced that the
young woman was murdered and the
body thrown on the track in order TO
make it appear that the death was acci-
dental. The circumstance that no blood
was found on the rails or roadbed fayors
the suggestion of foul play. 1t is argued
that ii the girl was instantly killed on
the track the scene of the slaughter would
be blood-spattered. While the front of
the woman's clothing was spattered
with gore, not drop had flowed on the
ground.
Police Captain Ripley said: 'The most
remarkable circumstance of the case is
that no one came forward to identify the
young woman or report such girl miss
ing" The unfortunate was blonde,
with perfect features and curly hair. She
wore considerable jewelry and several
bangles which bore the inscriptions.
"Etfie," "Will," !" -. R."
At the inquest the switehmen gave evil
dence confirming the murder theory, say
ing that when the body was discovered it
was cold. Notwithstanding this testi-
mony, the jury's verdict says death was
caused by being run over by the engine.
The conclusion is based on the fact that
the heavy underclothing might have abb
sorbed all the blood, and the body been
horribly mangled by the car wheels, and
no knife or bullet marks were discovered.
LATER.-The remains were identified
tonight as those of Fannie Cartwright,
an actress. who lived with her mother in
this city. She bore an excellent reputa-
ton. She was probably run down by an
engine in the dark while taking a short
cut home. She was member of the
Fast Mail' company, and was here on
visit.
