street Just few doors north of San
tis and Bells grocery at about $3.50
o'clock Saturday night. Amazzalorto's
answer aroused Di Cenzos temper
AmazzalC.to was put out of the place,
leaving throught the front door. He
had hardly gone FIVE minutes before
Di Cenzo left by the back way. The
supposition is that Amazzalorto had
walked to his rooming house at 610
Madison street and was returning
when he was met by his heretofore
best companion in front of the gro
cery store which had just been closed
for the night, hardly two minutes be-
fore the shooting. Di Cenzo shot at
his human mark FIVE times. The first
bullet fired was the only one to enter
the body, crashing through the mid
die of the sternum about one inch be-
low the base of the neck. The four
other bullets were embedded in the
wooden steps or the grocery's door
way. Standing at the corner of Mad
ison and Bucher streets, which is
about 80 yards away from the grocery,
were Joseph Poleno and Pietro Di
Pinti, two young Italians, the only two
witnesses of the deed They say Di
Cenzo hurried south on Madison street
to his brothers rooming house, hesi-
tated there as If to go in, but on sec
ond thought hurried through an alley
which opened on the Wheeling and
Lake Erie tracks.
Self defense no doubt will be the
plea that the defense will use in try
ing to ameliorate the sternest of pun
ishment Stories were afloat by some
persons yesterday that Di Cenzo had
been attacked in the street by Amaz-
zalorto who had knife. No danger
ous weapon was found upon Amazza-
lorto when picked up, neither was
there any lying loose on the ground in
the vicinity of the murder. A poker
was found near the scene but this is
said to have been dropped by Mrs.
Young who lives next door to the gro
Gerry store.
Attorney Rice spent several hours

leaves Of an elm tree sixty feet high
were spread Out on the ground edge
to edge they would cover Ave acres
of land. These leaves, averaging T.
100000 to a full grown tree, would
absorb water to the amount of seven
tons during the normal summer day
Were II not for the ingathering by
the stomata during the night few
elms would soon draw off all the
water from a district
ing and afternoon. City Prosecutor
Hughes and Chief McCloud went over
the details of the case yesterday after
noon, both visiting the scene of the
murder.
The murdered man and his slayer
are both powerful little men. Each
stands about five feet six or seven
inches high, Amazzalorto being the
darker of the two. They have roomed
together for quite while Each mans
parents live in the old country. Am
azzalorto has a sister in Chicago. Di
Cenzo, besides having a brother liv-
ing in this city has seven other in
Italy. He has been in this country for
about four years, three of them hav-
ing been spent in this city where he
works as a section hand for the Penn
sylvania railroad Amazzalorto at the
time of his death was out of work but
intended to commence his trade of
blacksmith today. He used to tend bar
at the Goldstein saloon which is just
opposite Louis Santis's place. Amaz-
zalorto's reputation among the inhab-
itants of the "jungles" was one of de-
cency. Di Cenzo when intoxicated was
feared by some and it is said that he
always carried gun.
The post-morten upon the dead
mans body was held at o'clock last
evening at Schilling's morgue by Cor
oner Schiltz, assisted by DR.. H. A..
March. The bullet was not found al
though probed for over an hour. Au-
topsy showed that the bullet had en-
tered through the middle of the stern
um, three quarters of an inch below
the upper border, taking downward
course and passing through the left
auricle of the heart, windpipe and ESQ
phagus and striking the border of the
spinal column. 1t is lodged some
where in the muscles of the back.
AS yet no disposition of the remains
has been planned. Amazzalorto had
no money, relatives or mony friends
in this city The county will have to
