ing at La Ninfa. Some witnesses before
the grand jury said that la Ninfa
beckoned TO McGirr to follow him. La
Ninfa started down Vinton street and Nc
and told him 10 go home. and soon after
there were more words and a fight
II was claimed by the state that after
the deceased had given La Ninfa two
heavy blows the prisoner used a knife on
the lower part OF the abdomen Of McGirr.
The latter followed La Ninfa who ran
into a yard. Mr.. Greenough did not ask
for n heavy sentence.
r. r. Lyman, counsel for la Ninfa
said that the knife was not used until
the prisoner and McGirr reached the yard
and that after McGrr had La Ninfa down
and was beating him when the latter
reached for the knife and did the cut
ting.
Assistant Attorney General GreenouRh
said there was nothing on record against
either La Ninfa or McGrr. Mr.. Lyman
pleaded for light sentence
Court interpreter Raia was called by
Judge Wilbur and Mr.. Raia said that he
had known McGirr ten years and that IL
had been McGirrs practice to get boys
to pick fights with Italians and then have
the gang around him take ttr part OF the
boys. La Ninfa according TO Raia was
quiet and unoffensive young man.
Judge Wilbur thought that n man. who
was In the position la Ninfa was in the
yard after running from Nlnton street
could not have done much different than
the prisoner did hence the disposition
made Of the case.
Assistant Attorney General Greenough
said that the states evidence did not
show that the cutting was done In the
yard but was done on the street.
