him right. He deserved TO die"
The young woman made no at
tempt 10 escape. She said that Fer.
rare though already married had
promised to make her his wife and
that when he refused to do so she
determined to kill him. Ferrare liv-
ed few hours after he was shot.
In his ante-mortem statement to
the coroner he said that there was
no trouble between the woman and
himself and that he could think of
no reason why any one should have
attacked him.
Marie Shabara had followed Far
rare all the way from her home In
Brooklyn, where he had called on
her. They quarreled, the girl said,
about his conduct toward her. When
near Five Points, she came upon Fer
rare from behind and fired four
shots at him with revolver.
The first shot struck him in the
back. He turned with cry of pain
and two more bullets entered his
body. AT the fourth shot police
man rushed up and knocked the pis-
tol aside, the shot going wild.
The tragedy caused great excite
ment. 1t required large detail of
police to restore order.
