ITALIANS SEE TRAGEDY.
Make No Move to Help Victim Of
Nan 4Uenging an Insult.

Trying to avenge an insult to his mother. one
Italian was killed by another last night while all
the tenants of the big tenement house at No 232
East 29th street looked without making
move to help the slain man. Up to three months
ago, when Bernardo PritzO married a pretty
Italian girl he and Rocco Michael were close
Chums Now Michael is a fugitive after kill
ing his old friend. That Michael still continued
to pay ardent devotion to the young woman
after her marriage is believed TO have been
motive for his murder, too the insult TO Pritzo's
mother being only the climax to the bad feeling
between the men.
PritzO, his wife and mother lived on the
upper story OF the house. Michael lived on the
same floor and the men seldom met without
exchanging angry words Michael met the
mother the stairs last night. and, according
to Pritzo, grossly insulted her. Pritzo heard
him and lost no time in resenting it.
Forcing Pritzo over the banister until the
mans back threatened to break Michael drew
his revolver and, forcing his half-unconscious
foe still further over. forced his mouth open
with the muZZle of the revolver and fired.
Driving the others before him like whipped
dogs Michael ran upstairs TO the roof. He
jumped across a narrow arshaft and disap-
peared before anybody summoned enough cour-
age to follow him.
