Train or Murdered.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j.. April a.
The body Of Antonio Frisco. the Italian
Tammany Hall politician. is still at the
New Brunswick Morgue. The dead mans
wife and several Italians called to see
the body this morning and to make ar
rangements to have the remains brought

sided.

by a train. She says he had no watch
or chain. and did not have much money.
Coroner McDede says that II Frisco was
murdered 1t was for revenge and not for
his money and valuables.
A t+rmit will probably be granted to-
day for the removal Of the body to Jersey
City. The Italians propose to give
Frisco big funeral
Prisco's brother came to New Bruins
wick this morning from New York. He
can throw little light on the manner OF
his brothers death, though he Is inclined
to believe the murder theory.

quarrel on the day he was found dead.
Witnesses testified that he usually car.
ried a pistol. None was found on the
body. An Italian interpreter has been
