 With Which Saturday Nights Mur- der Was Committed.
 Jackson street was the scene of @ fright full stabbing affray Saturday night. in which several of the belligerents received ugly wounds and one, Marciano Pugliese, was stabbed in the left side of the chest sever ing tht left common carotid artery just at it's origin from arch of the aorta, causing death almost instantly.
 Like all other Italian brawls it is practi- callv impossible to get at the facts in the case, but so far as can now be learned a number of Italians were drinking in a saloon kept by one of tbeir countrymen when the murdered man entered and had 8 drihk alond and then started for his home at 30 Jackson street. When he reached the place he sat down on the veranda and soon Joseph Collo came alone and after exchang- ing few words Collo said he was going to bed. He was about to proceed on his way when Pugliese made an insulting remark about Uollo's wife and immediately the | fight was begun, with almost all of the Italians in the neighborhood as partici- pants It is stated that Colo and man named Carmen Fammighlietti used knives and that the latter dealt the fatal blow and immediately disappeared
 
 To under arrest. and the dead body was re- moved to Moriarty's s morgue. where an au' topsy was held by Medical Examiner Ak telle, assisted by Dr Graves. A large organiz' ed clot containing fully two quarts of blood was found 6lEng the central position oi the chest between the two lungs. This wa! the only wound found on the body tha would have resulted in death. A thorough examination of all the principal parts of thu body was made with the result that thu medical examiner pronounced all organs 1T their normal condition
 All the Italians assert that the deed wal committed by the man who made hl escape, but the authorities will keep { tight hold on Collo until after the trial, ,fo they are reasonably sure that they have tn right man.
