By Associated A Press.

BY Associated Press.
PITTSBURG, May 2S-An unknown
italian made an attempt today to as
sassinate M. Cancelliere, proprietor
and editor of the La Trinacria, an
Italian paper. The assault took place
about 1 o'clock upon the street near
the office of the newspaper.
The would-be assassin came up
from the rear and slashed the editor
across the right side of the face with
a small stilletto and then escaped by
flight. The weapon made a wound
three inches long and one inch deep,
the blade just grazing the jugular
vein.
Cancelliere said the man was a
stranger, but he believed he had been
hired to kill him, as his enemies had
made threats of assassination.
Cancelliere is well known among
Italians throughout the country as an
editor and speaker. He has been Wig
orous in denouncing italian swindlers.
