OUT OF JAIL, HIS
CHILDREN Ill AND
NOW He IS SUED

10 $d.
.esfRb woes of Pietro Craisci. whose
two little children are now seriously
i'll in his home, 1874 Bruce street, who
was released from the p~eniteptiarX two
weeks ago that he might rescue his
family from starvation, We're further
increased today by the filing against
him of a suit for $4,000 damages by
Constantine Maccia.
Six months ago Craisci's attractive
young wife told him that Maceia
wanted her TO elope with him. Graisci,
after the manner of Sicily or Calabria,
carved a fantastic figure with a pocket
knife in the face of Maccla, and he was
arrested and sentenced to fifteen
months.
After serving six months the charity
organization people went to Judge Ten
Eyck and old him that Craisci's wife
n two small children, one 3 years old
Ind the other 9 months, Were starving
and i'll. The judge committed the sem
tence so that Craisci was released int
mediately and he started to rescue his
family from starvation.
His doctor said yesterday that he did
not believe the baby could live more
than a couple of days, and that Rose.
the 3-year-old child, was in almost as
much danger from death.
Then Maccia. still seeking vengeance,
brought the suit for S10.0 900 damages, to
his face. against C.aisei today-and
Craisci could buy the Prudential biuld-
ing just as easily as he could pay a
$4,000 judgment.
