THE STRANGE CASE
Or a Son From Sunny Italy Who Kill
ed n Countryman and Couldn't BE
Punished for It.

AT the late term of Circuit Court
here an Italian was turned out of
Jail and allowed to go free without
any>indictment or trial, after killing
a man openly and almost publicly
and admitting the deed, but as there
was no one to push the matter or
hunt up evidence or care anything
about IL one way or the other,
nothing was done. The fellow
worked with lot of other Italians
over on the b. & o. railroad near
Ambiersburg, where they have been
employed all summer by a contract
or putting in some fine stone work
and making fills and Cutting and
grading for third track for the
heavy freight trains up the grade.
One Sunday the Dago mentioned
and another one had a violent
quarrel over mouth. harp and the
former became so incensed that he
vowed vengeance and that night
armed himself with big knife and
crept into the sleeping quarters of
the gang and stabbed TO death the
fellow he had the quarrel with, as
he supposed, but Dagoes, like coons,
all look alike, especially in the
dark and he killed the wrong man,
while the fellow he was after was
awakened and escaped and left for
parts unknown. The murderer
attempted to escape and hid in the
woods for day or two till captured
and brought to Jail here, where he
wept bitterly because he had killed
the wrong man. The one he intend
ed to kill got away and has not
since been heard of, and, as he was
the only witness to the murder,
there was no one to appear before
the grand jury to bring an indict-
ment.
The fellow did not deny the kill
ing, and there was the dead Dago
to show for it; but, as they could
not make him testify against him.
self and there was no friend of the
dead man to look after il and hunt
up evidence and push the matter in
any way and no money in 1T for
anyone, the case went by default
and the murderer was given his
liberty after short term in the

He was last seen on July sth,
when he came to the postoffice
about 5 miles from where he resided
TO get his mail and started home
and no track of him has been found
since. He had $3.50 in money in
his house that his friends knew of
and perhaps more. His house and
trunk was found broken open and
all the money gone and 1t is sup
posed that he was murdered and
robbed and his body thrown into
one of the numerous holes near by,
made by prospectors digging for
gold. Many of these holes are a
hundred feet deep and half full of
water and good place in which to
hide a body, making it very difficult
to find. The County Commissioners
had met to offer a reward of $500
for the recovery of the body and
conviction of the murderer or muir
derers, and Sam. Hartsell offers
$500 more and the State is to offer
$500, making $500 in all, enough
to secure some good detectives and
officials to go to work on the case
aud clear up the mystery.
