Last Hope of Solving
Puzzle PeriShes
With Victim
Murder Theory Advanced
as Solution by
Police
Position Of italian on Tracks When
Struck by Train Leads Officers
to Believe That Enemies
Sought His Death

Lorenzo Scanavino, the italian la
borer who was struck by Southern
Pacific engine near Shorb station last
Friday morning, while lying uncon-
scious on the track. died yesterday
afternoon at SAC o'clock at the county
hospital.
The mystery which wells the circum-
stances Of the accident that caused his
death will probably never be known
now, as the only hope of discovering
the truth was looked for in Scanavino's s
testimony, bit as he died unconscious
and had never awakened from his
death-like stupor, the only source OF
information has been cut off,
Scanavino was seen lying on the
track, supposedly drunk, by the en-
gineer of the locomotive which struck
him. At the receiving hospital, how
ever, 1t was found that he was not
under the influence of alcoholic liquor,
as his breath gave no evidence of 1t.
Neither did he appear to be suffering
from a faint or At of epilepsy.
aroused that Scanavino had been de-
liberately placed upon the track and
drugged to insensibility by an enemy.
Suspect Murder
The point at which the body was ~
ing on the track seemed to Indicate
close calculation, as 1t was just around
a sharp curve, where the engineer OF
the train could not have seen It until
the wheels of the locomotive were al
most upon 1t.
owing to the fact that Scanavino was
said to be q close friend OF the mar
| suspected Of hawfng Killed Jsseph- Cue
cia on September rs, and that he LIVED
within one block of the point where
the fleeing murderer disappeared from
the sight OF his pursuers, the theory
has been advanced by some that he
may have been drugged and placed
upon the track by the avengers of the
murder of Joseph Cuccia, who may
have had evidence to implicate Scana-
vino in assisting the escape of the
murderer.
Among the Italians the curse of the
vendetta falls upon all who in any
way aid an enemy, and the threat Is
said to have been made by friends OF
Joseph Cuccia on the night of his MUIR
der that the perpetrator of the deed
and all who were connected with him
would be bounded to the four corners
of the earth until vengeance had been
wreaked upon them.
Coroner Trout has not yet made ar
rangements for holding an inquest
upon the body of Scanavino, but it is
probable that one will be held today.

Unfortunately the sending

and the station consequently

MEANT TO STAY TO THE END
Coachman Liked Job Too Well ~
"stand For" Dismissal.

In Washington not long ago Andrew
Carnegie was in conversation with
friend when reference was made to
the servant problem" Mr.. Carnegie
mentioned the fact that in many Scot
fish families the old man servant is
something of an Institution. Such
servant usually enters the employ OF
a particular family when he Is boy,
adheres faithfully to his place for a
long time and resigns only when the
infirmities of years crowd upon him.
AS illustrating the sturdy indepen-
deuce of the Scottish servant Mr.. Car
negie told the following:
"a certain lady In the north of Scot
land had in her employ crusty old
servltor, long in the service OF her
family, who gave her no end of an
noycnte by an impcrlous disregard of
her Instructions At length. The s!tua-
tion Iycoming mbearable, the mis-
treBS determined to see what effect
dismissal would have upon TIE refrac-
