then seated himself in a chair and
Frogastino was asked to show the Jury
how the fatal blow was struck. The
Encouragement was about to hand
FrOgastino the dirk knife, when DiMare,
with some uneasiness, replied: ~ don't
want any knife"
On cross-examination the witness said
he saw the prisoner take four beers in
the saloon; anu "if he took one beer II
was the same If he took 10; it went to his
BRAIN" The witness said he did not
see Faino take the knife from his clothes.
After the blow was struck, Ruva struck
Faino in the face. Then they both fell.
Ruva was looking at his cards when
Faino came in. The scissors grinder
turned around just as Faino struck him
with the knife, Ruva fell on top Of
Faino on the floor.
Nicholo Colombo, is another Italian,
who was in Crops saloon when his
countrymen were playing bagatellc.
Colombo's version OF the trouble over
the game Of bagatele corroborated the
evidence Of Frogastino. The witness
afterwards went to l04 Market street
He was seated at the table playing cards
when Michael Faino came in and
stabbed him in the neck. "He wanted
to strike Carlo again when nut out my
hand. He cut me on the hand" The
witness showed the jury the scar on the
hand where the knife had cut him.
"When Faino came in" the witness
said, che told Carlo to call him no more
hard names. Then hestruck him quick"
The witness then told the jury, how
with his hand cut and bleeding, ho gave
chase to Faino and came up with him
over in South Wilmington. Officer
Davidson, who was with Colombo,
arrested Faino.
In reply to Mr.. IIilles, the witness
said he saw Faino was going to strike
Ruva and tried to stop the blow. He
was unable to do so. The prisoner at
tempted to strike again but the witness
stopped it and was cut in the hand. Mr..
llllles asked the witness ii he was
drunk that night. He replied in the
negative. Then llr. Hilles asked him
whether or not the Italian Mutual
Benefit Association had not refused him
benefits because he was drunk the night
his hand was cut. The attorney. general
objected and the court ruled the testi-
mOny irrelevant.
Mr.. HillGs then asked the witness if
he had not said to Louis Porter in the
place of James Davis, No. 1902 Market
street, that he "wuuld make Faino nay
dear for cutting his hand, and he would
like to see him hung" The witness
denied the conversation. The object of
Mr.. Hilles was ~ show the anlmus of
the witness.
Promptly at 10 o'clock Michael Faino
was brought in the court room Tuesday
morning and placed in the prisoners
box. He was in charge of two deputy
sheritfs, one slightly in advance and the
other just behind the prisoner. Each
of the balliffs carried the traditional
staff of office.
