The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-06-30

Inere were otner wounds on lHe CueSt'
but less serious. Another shot had cut
the little finger of the left hand. A sec
ond had pierced the index finger. A
third had penetrated the thumb of the
right hand.
Sacco bore the painful ordeal of hav-
ing his injuries dressed with fortitude.
He assisted the doctor by showing the
direction from which the shot entered.
Sacco was able to appear before
Judge c. c. Stone, with Chief Oren B.
Bates, and make a complaint against
his assailant, at 4 o'clock. A warrant
was issued for the LisanZa boy, charg-
ing him with assault with intent 10
kill.
Sacco is very popular with his fellow
Italians in the camp. This afternoon a
mob of his friends went to the Cirini
house and attempted to hale the boy to
the police without waiting for a war
rant. With a little encourag cement they
would have offered violence to him.
They would have succeeded in bring
ing him TO the police had it not been
for the courage of Mrs. Cirini, an Am
azon in brogans. She withdrew her
son to the woodpile. Ten men started
for the boy, but stopped when Mrs.
Lisanza confronted them with a great
cudgel in one hand, after she had laid
the axe within easy reach of the other.
1t looked as if a tragedy were due.
But the axe and the knowledge that
there were other mem ers of the family
and the shotgun somewhere about eX
erted a strong moral influence, and the
episode ended in an interchange of
italian oaths. for which the English
language contains no equivalents. Ers.
Cirin is a muscular woman and quite
capable of using either shotgun or axe.
The boy who did the shooting was
hugging a big baby to his bosom when
the representative of The Spy reached
the scene. The crowd was full of
Italians. The struggle for the pos
session of his person was in full sway.
Young Cirini is a round-faced, limo
cent-looking fellow, much lighter of
complexion than most of his people. He
had no idea, apparently, that it is not
right for him to shoot men full of shot
because they eat the family cherries
that fall by the wayside.
Young Cirini was arrested at his
home in Sterling at o'clock tonight.
by Deputy Sheriff Bartlett and Chief
Oren 3, Bates. He will pass the night
at police headquarters, and will get a
hearing in the district court tomorrow
morning. He admits that he is more
than l3 years old, and looks IS. The
shotgun was brought along. It is a
cheap single-barrelled affair.
