TWO BLOWS IN A PRIESTS FACE
FATHER PASQUAL STRUCK BY AN ITALIAN
IN THE CHURCH VESTIBULE AT
MOUNT VERNON.

Antonio Conzalo was arralgned in the Court
of Snecal Sessions at Mount Vernon yesterday
charged with assault in the third degree. The
complaint was made by Father Pasqual, pastor
of the Italian church Of that city. According
TO the story told by tho priest, Conzalio was one
Of n number Of men who gathered IN the vesti-
bule Of the church during the celebration or the
feast Of st. Paulina Saturday night and Gre
ated a disturbance.
Father Pasaual ordered the men 10 get out
and told them that many Americans were visit
ing the church. who would be shocked at their
conduct Conzalio replied that he had paid for
the privilege of selling candles and pictures or
the saint and that he would not get out When
Father Pasqual attempted to eject him by force
he struck the priest twice in the face. The
priest is a small man. and would have been
badly hurt had not Frank Nordone, con-
tractor. interfered. Nordone received a severe
beating for his trouble.
The Italians were Indignant at the assault
made on their priest and there some talk
of lynching Conzalio, but the police took him
away. and the matter was hushed up until it
reached the court yesterday. The trial was adj
1ourned until Friday, and in the mean time
Conzalio will make counter charge against
Nordone for assault. Father Pasqual laments
the fact that the assault did not take place in
Italy. He says that over there man would get
not less than seven years for venturing 10 as
saut priest. Some OF the Italians feel bad
because their church has been brought into the
quarrel One of them said yesterday that the
men who caused the trouble were lawless
Sicilians Of the same class that were lynched
last week IN Louisiana, and that the better
class Of Italians should not be blamed for their
