ITALIAN VENDETTA
DRAMATIC STORY REVEALED
 sALERNo'S MURDER.
Killing of 13 Officers in Italy Re called in the Birmingham 1n- vestigation of Mysteri-
 ous Murder.

Birmingham, Aug. -19.-(Special)-In the investigation of the murder of Salvador Salerno, the Italian who was found with his neck bored by a gunshot wound at Pratt City Sounday morning about 4:3O clock, Coroner Paris and Italian Con- sul Salvador Guantanamo have come across a man named Frank Gardino, whom MT. Catazano alleges may be one of the Gar dino brothers, who shot and killed thir- teen officers of the law six years ago in the city of Bisacquino, Socily, in eff fecting their escape from arrest. Frank Gardino, of Bisacquino fame, is alleged to have fled from the island of Sicily while his brother being separated, was closely surrounded by a cordon of soldiers and took his own life by putting bullet through his brain before the first shot was fired from the ranks of the soldiers. Salvador Salerno, who was murdered in his sleep at Pratt City, a suburb of Bir- mingham, is said to have been one of the cordoh of soldiers, and Consul Catanza believes that he has now paid with his life the penalty of seeking the capture of the Gardino brothers. Gardino is un- der arrest here, accused of the murder of Salerno. Two nephews of Salerno are also under arrest, charged with the mur- der. The accused insist that the murder was committed by burglars. The repre- sentative of the Italian Consul here will make efforts to bring all facts out in this case, and will at once communicate with the Italian representatives in New Or leans.
