NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 29:-
The murder trial of Pasqualo Delas-
10, sof Port Reading, charged with
killing Luigo Tenare, of the same
place. was resumed before Justice
Swayze in the supreme court today.
Three witnesses were called. One OF
these was Michael Mcdonald, an Of
ficer at Port Reading. He testified
that on the night of the murder he
had heard five shots fired and saw'
Delasio running. He gave chase fol-
| lowing him to the coal docks whero
Delasio escaped. That was the ln6k
seen of him until in New York ana
Mcdonald went there to identify him
Dominica Ceriamo testified that he
lived in the vicinity of the shooting
and had seen a man walking past his
house with club, but did not know
who he was
The testimony is exceedingly hard
to get as the Italians are very close
mouthed. 1t seems there were two
factions in Italy and they came to
Port Reading where the quarrel was
continued. The murder was COM
mitted through jealousy. The case
will probably end today The att0r-
neys for the defense expect an ac-
quittal

er night and day until verdict Is

County Engineer Larson and Pho
tographer Monaghan testified to pre-
pared photographs of the scene of the
murder
1 Prosecutor Berdine opened the
7 r sc. He said that Delasio was in
dicted for the murder of Tenare at
! Port Reading, along the coal docks
The most sensational testimony Of
the day was offered by Louis Tente-
are, son of the dead man. Though
told through an interpreter, it was
very impressive.
Tenare said that Delasio and a
party of men came to the Tenare
house late at night on the 25th and
demanded to be let in. Delasio point
ed revolver in the window and de-
manded that he be admitted. Il was
afraid said the boy, and | opened
| the door and let him in.
| MY father was scared and hid un-
der the table. Delasio pulled him ont
and broke his arm with a club. Ny
! father got on his knees and beggeM
Delasio not to kill him. Deiasio y II
mo, you've got to die tonight l
My father took Delasio's hahd and
Kissed it four times, and then Delasio
shot him in the head with his revolt
yer.
When my father fell Delasio took
his head between his hands and look
ed at his face. He said, I've done it
and | must go away"
The boy positively identified the
prisoner as the man who had killed
his father He said he next saw him
when he was taken to New York to
identify him.
Dominick Martino was also on the
stand in the morning session. Theo.
: Antonio acted as interpreter.
Young Tenare's cross ss-examination
continued in the afternoon. Mr..
Strong asked him if he did not run
from the shanty when the men en-
tered He said he did not; he stayed.
did you call for help?"
Il called for help to God.
The cross-examination shook the
boys story. 1t was hard, however, to
get him to make responsive answers.
Mr. Strong's questions indicated q
possibility that a man who was in the
Tenare shanty with Delasio, and who
has disappeared, was the one who had
done the shooting.
Giuseppe Tenare, a brother of the
I dead man, was the last witness called
yesterday afternoon. His evidence
was not damaging. and is seems as
though the guilty party may have run
way and that Delasio is innocent.
