BORSEI HANGED FOR
NUMBERING RIVAL
Italian Who Slew Alleged Despoiler
of His Home Goes to Death on
Galows at San Quentin
Prison
Bv Associated Press

By Associated Press
SAN QUENTIN, Sept. 11.-Constan
tine Borsei was hanged in the state 5
prison here today for the murder OIL
Emilio d'Eramo in Los Angeles, Janu-
airy 81, this year.
He went to the scaffold calmly and
had noting to say after receiving abso-
luton. The trap was sprung promptly
at 10 O'Clock, and life was pronounced
extinct thirteen minutes later.
The crime for which Borsei was exc
cuted was inspired by jealousy of his
wife, and was committed in a foundry
in which his victim was at work when
the fatal shot was fired.
Constantine Borsei, who suffered the
death penalty at San Quentin yester-
day. was convicted in the superior court
of Los Angeles county for the murder
of Emilio T. d'Eramo, fellow country
man who was laborer at the casting
plant of the United Casting company
at Violet and Wilson streets.
Borsei, who had recently returned
from a visit to his native land, walked
into the room where d'Eramo was
working on January 81 of this year, and
Jerking out a revolver, fired four shots
in rapid succession at d'Eramo. The
first shot went wild, but the other three
struck the victim in the body and
caused his instant death.
Borsei was overpowered by workmen
tied with ropes and held until the po-
lice arrived. When he was given his
preliminary examination he acted
strangely and made incoherent re-
marks. He offered no defense.

In Defense of the Lizard.

DIR. III. A. Surface, state economic
zoologist, has issued a bulletin from his
department in defense of the lizard
Not only does the official zoologist of
Pennsylvania Ceny one and all of the
commonly accepted notions about the
harmfulness of this reptile, but he urges
the farmers of this state to encourage
the artificial propagation of certain va
rieties of lizards TO make war on crop
destroying insects.
These lizards are the especial foes of
the short-horned grasshoppers, common
farm pest. Examination of the stomachs
of dozens of lizards at the state zoologi-
cal laboratory shows their diet to have
been composed entirely of grasshoppers,
beetles and other destructive insects In
Georgia fruit growers buy lizards in
large quantities and turn them loose in
their orchards.
DIR. Surface says the common notion
that persons drinking out of springs are
liable to take lizards into their stom-
aehs and that the reptiles win live there
