Has It come to pass that, counting on
juggleries OF. the law, criminals believe
that they may kill, MAIN, burn, and

Is this to be another instance OF the
laws delays and immunity for hid

JEFF SCALES
HELD FOR
SENTENCE

a lively row occurred in a three-story
tenement building al Ward street sat-
urday evening.
The first report which reached the po-
lice was that there had been murder by
shooting.
When Capt. Lawrence reached the
house he found that there had been a
fight between Negroes and Greeks. as a
result OF which Peter Lenardos was be-
lievcd to have received fatal wounds.
Lenardos was bleeding from two cuts
upon his forehead and was unconscious.
The Greek was semitic the Rhode IsIanu

gained consciousness. He had been struck
with some blunt instrument which caused
brain consussion. He will be all right in a
few days
The trouble originated from the washing
Of a floor on the top story. where George
Booras boards five other Greeks, includ-
ing his nephew, Peter Booros and his
cousin. Peter Lenardos.
Peter Booros and Lenardos were sweep
