BALAlvGIOLA $ DEAD
Coroner Mix May Be Called 10
 Investigate Case.

An result of what seems to be an
 over indulgence in alcoholic averages
 Austino Balanglola, of S01 Bank
 street ts dead, Murino Marino, who
 resided in the Fruin building on Bank
 street is still in serious condition
 and Giovanni Bartolucci of 12O
 Meadow street is still feeling the ef-
 fects of the banqueting.
 AS far as can be learned the three
 men who figured in the affair did the
 rounds of several saloons yesterday
 and mixed their drinks to the queens
 taste. The dead man who was em.
 ployed on the streets for the Connec-
 ticnt Railway X Lighting company quit work early yesterday. Marino.
 who was employed by the Farrei foundry, was also on a days outing yesterday and with Bartolucci, 1t is said by the police, from what infor- nation they can learn, that the trio more than did the rounds.
 At any rate about 4:8O they were seen going along Bank street. When they got to Meadow street Balangiola leaned against telegraph pole for support. A few moments later he fell to the street and when friends reached his side 1t was seen that he was dead. Word was immediately sent to the police station and Detec- tives Keegan and Colesanto hastened to the scene. They were informed that Balangiola was hit by brew- cry wagon and run over. but there was no marks on the mans hody which would show that he figured in any serious accident. Medical Exam- iner Crane was notified of the affair and after viewing the body had 1t re- moved to the morgue of Mancini S Ruggiero, which is nearby. Mean- while crowd which had congregnted took charge of the other two fellows who were so helpless and after re- moving them to their homes, Dr I. DeLuise was summoned. He work ed on Marino for some time and fip- ally brought him out of danger and thls morning stated that he thought the man would recover.
 Last night the detectives were on the hunt to see what they could learn about the doings of the trio. during the day. It was found that they not only partook of goodly amount of cheap whiskey, beer and wine, but al- so supped freely of anisette, favor ite Italian drink. which is said to be quite an appetizer. The detectives scout tho idea that Belangiola met death because of being hit by a team.
 Dr DeLuIse said that he understood that the men drank beer, wine, whis- key and anisette and all kinds of cheap drinks, and also stated that he was told that the dead man has been ailing for some time. WI
 Although Medical Examiner Crane would not declare whether the coro- ner was coming, 1t looks as if he would visit Waterbury to investigate the case as Manicini & Ruggiero have been told to hold the body of Bolan- glola.
 Medical Examiner Crane stated this afternoon that in his opinion Balangiola's death was caused by acute alcoholic poisoning. Several have said that the man was run over by a team. but as far as I can learn no one saw him struck by ! vehicle. although some information on this matter may be obtained this I hardly think the coroner will come. although the body will be held pending developments" was the ioctor's statement. Detective Thom- as Colesanto learned to-day that the man obtained the greater part of the drink in the Italian saloon on Mea- dow street. Colestanto claims that | although anisette should be drunk with a large amount of water. these fellows poured 1t into their systems n an undiluted form. and although | companions drank very | heavily it did not affect them as it lid the dead man.
