SHOT IN COLD BLOOD
Two Brothers the victims and Oas of
 Then is Desd.

Another murder took place in Wa. terbury last evening The murdered man was Angelo Solomita, and the all legged murderer is Gerico or Samuel Capobianco. This makes the fourth death by violence in this city this year
 The murdered man and his brother, Antonio. were going toward Exchange place about 6:30 o'clock last evening. Capobianeo was standing on the rail. road crossing near the Randolph Cloves shop speaking with two or three other Italians. Angelo Solomita. seeing CapobiancO. crossed the street toward him and when about fifteen feet from him Capobianco fired at him. Antonio ran toward his brother and another shot was fired before he reached him. Angelo seemed to be paralyZed with fear for all he was ap- parently capable of doing was to step back. Just as Antonio was putting his hands oh his shoulders another shot was fired at them and Angelo fell to the ground dying. In all there were four shots. for another was fired after Angelo fell. It seems to have been the third shot that killed him. Capobianco then ran across the street towards the Naugatuck depot and half dozen men ran after him.
 Officer ColesantO was standing at the corner of Bank and Meadow streets and heard four shots fired. When he saw the crowd running he ran also. There appears to be some misappre- hension about the capture of the man. Jeremiah Daley. son of M. I. Daley. a member of the board of public safe ty. had him once but the fellow got away. John Corden. hack driver. had him also. and it is said that a teamster named John Whelan finally captured him. However. Officer Cole santo was on the ground immediately and assisted in the capture. According to his own statement it was he who captured the man. as he was headed toward the roundhouse below the Naugatuck depot.
 Meanwhile the body of the dead man had been conveyed to the baggage room at the depot and there it was searched by the officer in the presence of a number of men. No weapons were found on it. The dead mans brother. Angelo. found by this time that he had been shot also. He got bullet in the left side of his face below the eye He is in the hospital and his condition this morning was doubtful.
 4 smoking revolver. with four of it's five chambers empty. was found on the murderer by Colesanto.
 Revenge seems to have been the mo- tive in the affair Some time ago the Solomitas and Capobianco had dis pute over cards and it ia said that each threatened to kill the others. Capobl. anco told Officer COlesanto after he was put under arrest that he antici- pated trouble from the Solomitas when he saw them crossing the street to- ward him. He said that he had heard that one of them always carried razor and the other a stiletto to be ready for him. It is believed. however, that Capobianco was waiting for the brothers. knowing that they would pass that way. He lives on Scovill street and the Solomitas lived on Jack son street.
 Medical Examiner Crane stated this morning in court that there was but one wound on the body of the dead man. l Uat was bullet NouHu oH the left breast, penetrating the lung and lodging in the spine and muscles.
 In the city court to-day Capobianco was charged with murder in the firS degree He pleaded not guilty and said his age was 1g He looked very much in need of cold water.
 Attorney John O'Neill looked after his case. but put in no defense. and the man was remanded for the su- perior court without bail.
 The witnesses for the state were Joseph Corden. Charles Brewer. an em ploye of R. N. Blakeslee. Louis Grosco. a fellow workman of the accused. and Officer Colesanto. None of them saw the shooting. but all heard not more than four and not less than three shots fired.
