MURDERER IS At LARGE
BOschino, Who Killed Another Italian
Sunday, Probably in the Mountains.
DETECTIVES WITHOUT A CLUE
Search for the Missing Assassin Begun
Early Yesterday-Witnesses OF the
Shooting Profess Ignorance of Eng
lish and VIII Say Nothing.

Joe Boschino, the italian who MUIR
dered his fellow countryman, Francisco
COMFORT on Bunker Hill, Dunmore,
Sunday evening, is still at large.
County Detective Shea started on
hunt for the missing man early yester-
day morning, but it Is probable that
he will not be arrested for at least sew
eral days.
The body of the murdered Comfort
remained during the day in Letch-
worth's undertaking establishment,
where an autopsy was performed by
Coroner Kelley, assisted by DR.. j. r.
Murphy, in the presence of Jurymen
Patrick Clary, o. B. Biglin, w. l.. Pur-
cell, Anthony Reagan and r, Il. Scott.
1t was found that only one bullet en-
tered COMFORTS body The ball glanced
from the chest bone to the left, passed
through the heart and lodged in the
pleural cavity of the left lung. A num-
Der of witnesses were examined merely
to identify the remains. The inquest
will be held tomorrow evening in the
arbitration room at the court house.
Eye Witnesses Are Silent.
But little information of the killing
can be obtained through Ricco Sllvanni
and Tony Embri, the two witnesses
confined in the Dunmore borough lock-
up. They were too drunk when arrest
ed to converse even in their native
tongue, and when questioned yester-
day professed ignorance Of the Eng
lish language. Still, enough was
Cleaned from them and others to slight
ly change the brutal details of the
crime as presented in The Tribune.
The new facts, however, do not ma
terially change the general story of the
murder. The additional information is
only that two women of questionable
character were with the Italians as
they quarreled on the wire bridge while
going from Dunmore to their homes on
Bunker Hill, and that in the scuffle one
of the party, presumably Boschino, at
tempted to use razor
Nothing has been discovered to
change the theory that Boschino lay in
ambush for his victim behind a clump
Of laurel bushes and murdered COMFORT
in the presence of the two Italians in
which killed COMFORT Possibly one
minute or minute and half later
three more shots were fired, it is sup
posed by the escaped murderer to pre-
vent the two men in arrest from fol-
lowing him.
Detectives Are Baffled.
1t was anticipated by County Detec-
I Al. .
Boschino would pass over the same
route as that taken by Nolli, an Italian
who escaped arrest after shooting his
wife's assaulter in Dunmore two years
ago. Consequently watch was kept
at the junction Of the Lackawanna
tracks and wagon road above the Elm
hurst station. No clue was obtained
of Boschino's route and it is thought
he has sought safety in the mountains
where he will hide during the days and
travel at night along unfrequented
roads toward Stroudsburg and New
York
A pitiful chapter of the case is the
anticipated maternity of Comforts S
wife. She started yesterday from her
home on Bunker Hill for Dunmore, but
was overcome on the way and had to
be carried back to her house, where heI
confinement is hourly expected.
At 10 o'clock last night rumor that
Detective Shea had succeeded in locat-
ing Boschino and would wait until this
morning before arresting him could not
be verified. About that hour Silvanni
and Embri were removed from the Dun
more lookup and placed in the county
Jail. They are charged with being ac-
cessorieS to the murder.
