IN said she lived with Chilemo though
not married To him, and she claims he Is
q distant relative. About two months
ago. she came to this city and opened
pool room on Tefft street. and neighbors
say that not week passed but Giova-
nio was visitor at her house, coming
down from Boston and staying a day or
two at n time.
She took the cottage 63 Spruce street
two weeks ago aud has kept two or three
boarders since then. Last Monday Chill
emo came down from Boston and has
stopped at the house every night since and
this morning at breakfast he committed
the terrible crime.
Mrs. Pisannella is about 35 years old,
very attractive in appe france, having the
fair akin and blue eyes OF the native of
Naples. Persons who live in the neigh
borhood say that she was Of n very loose
character and that she made no secret of
having number OF lovers who came to
visit her at all times. Chilemo the neigh
bors say, has been very morose since his
arrived last Monday and WIS apparently
brooding over something so that Antio-
META has been frightened and several
times has been heard to wish that her
lover was away from her. The indiffer-
ence Of the woman he loved seemed to
prey on the mans mind and there is no
DOUBT that he meditated committing the
crime for some time before he finally did
it.
He is fine looking fellow, 25 years old,
and OF about medium height. When Off
Ger Whidden entered the house and in
fact until the ambulance took both away
the woman was conscious aud conversed
freely about the shooting. Chilcmo, how
ever, was unconscious from the time he
fell Officer Munroe. Capt. Mars len, and
Detective Swan were soon on the ground
and assisted in placing them in the am
bulancc. Mrs. Pisannella has n child
NJ al.
She said when found by the officers
that Giovanino wanted her to marry him.
that he was jealous of her other lovers
and that on her refusal 70 do as he wished
he pulled the pistol and shot her.
The house is a small cottage with four
rooms on the floor. The front room is
used as bed room, and the next as a
dining room. Thers Is closet leading
from the dining room near the door of the
front room under the front stairs. and
when Chilemo attempted to take his own
life he fell partly into the closet and lay
across the threshold when found by
Officer Widden.
The ambulance took both to the RHODE
ISLAND Hospital, and an examination of
both persons shows that five shots were
fired, two at the women and three at him
self. One of the shots struck Autionetta
in the neck just above the right collar
bone. the other In the right shoulder as
she was turning to run from her assassin.
OF the three shots fred into the sui
cide's body two were In the right ear, and
one just TO the right of the left nipple,
which bullet came out under the shoul-
derblade. The woman's wounds are not
necessarily fatal. but Giovanino will
probably die. The weapon was Smith
d Wesson 32-calihrc revolver. OF the self
cooking pattern. DIR. Raia and DIR. Keefe
were early on the scene, and attended to
the wounded pair till the ambulance ar
rived.
The following letter addressed to
