A dastardly attempt at robbery and muir
der was foiled early this morning at the
northwest corner Of Fifth and Marshall
streets. when an enormous negro brute
entered the saloon of Paul Cecchinin and
demanded his money Without awaiting
Italians head, but fortunately the burn
ing powder only left it's trace as the balls
only grazcd his head. Like lightning the
Italian grabbed q pistol and fired once
into the negro's stomach. The brute then
turned to run. making for Marshall and
Sixth streets.
He no go far, got him. cried the ex-
cited Paul. The heavy lead did its work
and before the square was covered the
negro dropped. The shotting was at twen-
ty minutes after I. and at $50 A. M. the
highway1nan was dead
The tragedy occurred within one square
of the Second police station, and just af-
ter the shots were heard. three policemen,
E. J. Bradley, R.. l.. Bryant. and ]. F.
Wiley went to the saloon to arrest the
Italian. The man had locked and barred
the doors, and when the officers arrived
he gave himself up and was taken to the
station
The Men Were Alone.
At the time of the attempted hold-up,
the two men-Italian and negro-were
alone in the bar room. The killing by the
Italian was done with a 5S-calibre Smith
& Wesson revolver. The negros pistol
was found later in his left side coat pocket
and proved to be a very fine 3S-calibre,
brand-new biue-steei. pearl-hand!e weap-
on.
The ambulance in charge of DR.. f.
Sandidge arrived shortly on the scene,
and the negro died while the doctor was
present. Afterwards the ambulance went
for DR.. w. II. Taylor, the coroner, who
arrived at 2:15 A. M. Coroner Taylor
turned the dead negro over fiat on his
back, and, with the assistance of the
police. went through his pockets. In his
right hand trousers pocket was found 50
cents in nickels and dimes, In the inside
right coat pocket there was a razor and a
plug of tobacco.
What He Look Like.
While the italian is a small. dark
haired man, the negro was a powerful
animal, some five feet ten inches high,
with a thick, heavy neck and well-devel-
oped muscles. His age was probably 25
years.
His coat and waistcoat seemed to be
new, evidently ready-made, as they were
someyhat too short for his build. The
trousers were black, old, and worn, with
patches and pins, showing his efforts to
be decent, and probably the work of some
woman His shoes were badly worn and
cut about the toes, indicating man who
had walked long and far. His shirt was
of blue, coarse cloth of the workingman,
and was stretched tight across his chest.
It's white lining was stained from near
the throat to the waist with the dark
blood that had splashed and ebbed from
his death wound.
He wore an old and greasy soft hat
with a narrow brm, but with a dent in
the crown, indicating some effort to as
sumo the appearance of a dandy. He had
a. plump face, and full upper lip. which,
in the contra ction of death, showed a row
of perfect teeth. He had not been iden-
tilted at $3.50 A. M.
