MAY RESULT IN MURDER.
SERIOUS STABBING AFFRAK BE TWEEN ITALIANS LAST NIGHT.

Police Commissioner Gilhuly Blew His
 Whistle and the Assallant Was Promptly
 Arrested-The Victim's Condition is Ex-
 tremely Critical.
 Luigi Dicateria, an Italian, was ar rested last night by Officer John Roche and locked up in the Grand avenue pre- cinct, charged with assault with intent to kill, and the probabilities are that this morning the charge will be changed to the more serious one of murder His victim, Alfonzo Calzillo, spent the night in the hospital, suffer- ing with a stab wound in his bowels on the left side of the body
 Shortly before 10 o'clock last evening an Italian was seen running down Ham, ilton street from Grand avenue by Po- lice Commissioner Daniel s. Gilhuly. The commissioner watched the fellow, who called out as he raced by him, "me all right" The commissioner was, however, not satisfied with this, and immediately blew hiP police whistle, and within fifteen minutes the would-be murderer had been captured
 In response to the whistle Patrolman John Roche was promptly upon the scene, and he and the commissioner ran after the fleeing Italian, finally cap turing him at the corner of Greene and Hamilton streets. While they were chasing the Italian, some boys who were in the crowd attempted to throw barrel hoops over the fellows head in order to stop him, but their efforts in this direction proved futile.
 In the meantime Commissioner Gil- huly had discovered another Italian lying prostralte on Hamilton street, with blood gushing from a stab wound in his left side. Dr, Baker was hastily summoned, and after one glance saw that the man was in a critical condition and ordered his immediate removal to the hospital. The police wagon was called and the victim taken to the hos pital, where 1t was stated his condi- tion was extremely critical.
 When Dicateria began running he had knife in his right hand, but dur ing his flight he managed to get rid of it, and when captured there was no knife about him. A careful search was made for it, but up to a late hour last night it had not been found. Some boys did, however, pick up the handle of a knife the blade of which had been broken off close to the handle, and this fact gave rise to the statement that +bof the blade was still in Calzillo's wound. Neither of the Italians can speak Eng fish, and consequently 1t was impossible to ascertain where or about what ths stabbing took place.
 There were two punotures, made evil dently by a round instrument, above the left groin. At late hour this morning the operation of laparotomy was being performed upon Calzillo in the Farnam amphitheater at the hospital by Dr. Thomas H. Russell, assisted by Dr. Will liam H. Carmalt.
 PICKETT STRUCK WITH A PICKET.
 Shortly before Il o'clock another man was sent to the hospital from the Grand avenue precinct. The victim this time was John Pickett of S9 James street, and his assailant was John A. Morris of 25 Collis street. As the former was walking along the street at the corner of Chapel and East streets Morris rush. ed upon him and without provocation struck him blow across the face with a, fence picket.
 Pickett was rendered unconscious, but soon revived, when it was ascer- tained that his nose was broken. He | was removed to the hospital, and Mor- l iris was placed under arrest.
