His Confidential Clerk Was
His Murderer.
The Slayer Believed to Have Been
Insane at the Time.
Victim Had Been Warned by Friends to
Keep Watch on Clerks Actions.

BOSTON,, Sept. l2.-Bernado Ambros
oil. 54 years old. proprietor of the Phil
harmonic Hotel, $50 North street, the
principal hotel and restaurant in the
Italian colony here, was murdered by
Charles Bacigalvpo, as years old, bis con-
tidential clerk and devoted companion at
4 O'CLOCK this morning. The murderer
has previously been subject to its of in
sanity. 1t is supposed that a recurrence
of the trouble prompted his act.
the murder took place on the third
floor of the hotel on the landing just out
side mbrosoli's sleeping apartments.
Am brosoli opened the door and was about
to step into The hall when Bacigaiupo,
who it 10 supposed was on the watch,
stepped forward and fired two shots from
a revolver. Both bullets took effect, one
region of the heart The second shot
caused instant death.
When the murderer saw bis victim fall,
he rushed from the house and has not
been seen since. The police were sum
moned Immediately after tie affair hap
-pened and took steps 10 prevent Baciga-
lupo from leaving the city and they ex-
pect to capture 5im within short time.
As has been said, the two men were
apparently friends and insanity on the
part of the murderer is the only known
reason for the crime. About year ago,
Bacigalupo was sent TO an insane hospi-
tai by order OF the Municipal Court here.
He was released after a short time as
cured. Several Of his friends, however,
claim to have noticed lately that
he has shown signs of retnrn
Of his trouble. Last night he was very
moroso and his actions prompted those
acquainted with him to warn Ambrosoli
to be on the watch lest his clerk should
do something detrimental to the reputa-
tion of the house. Everything went of
smoothly, however. and mbrosoli went
to bed about IL 80 O'Clock. Ii is thought
that as soon as ne had retired Bacigalupo
became frenZied, and laboring under
some delusion sought his employers
chambe where he waited until Ambros-
oil appeared and then killed him. The
police have some fears that the murderer
will commit suicide in some out OF the
way place, as he took the revolver With
him.

Charles III. Adams was notified and pro-
curing assistance went to the house. The
officers were met at the door by Mrs.
Burrill, who informed them that two
men had committed a violent assault on
her husband and had just fed. The
officers started in the direction taken by
the assailants and succeeded in overtak-
ing and srresting them.
They were locked up in the Riverside
station and Officer Adams then went back
to the home of Burrill, where he learned
that the men, one of whom was William
White, brother of Mrs. Burrill. and the
! other friend Of Whites, named Michael
McDonald, both belonging in Providence.
went to the home OF Burrill with the ex-
press purpose OF doing him up and then
getting away. One part Of the program was
carried out, but the other failed. The men
rushed into the house, and without warn
ing White struck Burrill in the head,
telling him to the floor. Both then took
a hand In the affair, beating and kicking
him. They dragged him into the yard
and continued the assault. Thcy.draggec
their victim TO the edge of the bank
which runs down TO the shore, and by
accident Mr.. Burrill fell down the
pank away from mis- assaiIants and thus
saved his life. The rnaddened men then
returned to.the house, and White began
an assault on Mrs. Burriil, grabbing her
by the threat and bruisiug her arm.
Then they left the house and attempted
to escape, but failed.
The assailants were taken to the sta
tion in Watchemoket this morning.

ell night. This morning Burrill appeared
in court and showed the effects OF
the assault. He mad a cut about 1ls
inches long over his left eye, both
eyes were black and his left side
was badly bruised from the kicking
ne received. At their trial Mir. Burrill
and wife testified to the assault as stated
above, while White and Nc ID onnell tes-
tifed that they ectod in self-defence. that
on entering the house Burrill jumped at
them 10 strike them and they acted in
self defence. The daughter testified that
she saw both men beat and Kick her faith
er, and the manner in which she gave
her testimony plainly showed she was
telling the truth. Judge Bliss, in sum-
ming up the case said IL was the most
outrageous assault case ever brought be-
fore him, ana he found them probably
guilty and required them to furnish
surety in the sum of $1,000 each, for APP
pesrance before the Rrand jury the third

little girl, had stood by the fence and en-
dured the sun for at least two hours in
order 10 retain her place where she could
see everything ON the track and be near

out she discovered the familiar little face
she was waiting TO see even before the

vITAscoPE AND sTEREoPTIcAN.
Mr.. Ben Dodge, tho man who an
nounces things for the vaudeville and
the track, added to his information given
from the platform yesterday that in the
upper hall Of the grand stand building
there was stereoptican exhibition by
the committee on humane education, and
that in the han OF the merchants display
building there was an exhibition OF the
vitascope. 1t was good thing for Ben
Dodge to do, for the exhibitions are two
ground and from the very nature of their
performances were not advertised by the
blatant howls OF pullers-in on the
strength of whose voice depends the sue
cess OF the kick shows. The st stereoptican
exhibition Is at the fair for the purpose
of education along the lines of humane
treatment OF animals, and there is a 40
minute lecture OF much interest, illus
trated by a series of magnificent views.
The vitsscope is ON education in itself
so far ss it shows the development of the
powers of the electrician, and the WOW
derful pictures showing movement and
color make a splendid entertainment.
ToDAY's RACES.
Although the crowd in the quarter
stretch and grand stand this morning
was not TO be compared with that OF yos-
terday several thousand people watched
the races. The horses were called before
the track promptly at II O'Clock and 20
minutes later the first heat was started.
The track was in better condition
than at amy time since MONDAY and ev-
erything gave promise Of good races and
fast time.
The card today was distinguished by
it's large entries, 25 having entered for
the 2:20 trot, Is for the 2:19 trot anc
dozen for the 2:13 pace and while many
OF these were scratched all of the fields
were much longer than at any time til is
week.
The firs1 event on the card was the
$1,000 stake for 40 class trotters. Twelve
horses appeared for the word and the
large field made it difficult TO get them
OF. At the start, however, II was evil
dent that, Dicky. Princess had the best of
the race. In fact, the race was entirely
n one, two, three contest between the
Princess, Nichola and the black Eddie
b., and was won in this order, tue time
being hut 2:l6li.
The FIRST bent OF the 2:l9 class trot was
good rnce between Hilda S. and Jerry

A leap, culver in the east the king

of the world is now performed for saint
and sinner alike, and earth laughs and
awakes and begins all her merry bust
ness over for rich and poor again, for
merely to be alive is surely to have the
fee simple of the world. Deaf and dumb
they lie, the weary dead, but if they
could speak would they not cry aloud
for but one hour of existence in which
to enjoy those treasures of God from
which in life they turned away because
they would not lift their eyes from some
speck that festered in their egotism,
that made them regard only their indi-
vidual happiness instead Of their share
in the glorious citizenship of the world?
