ihe crowded avenue stood stock still as a
,,ung Italian named Giuseppe CRATIC
ran cat under the elev ated tracks from a
,a,oon and began To fire pistol shots at
three uomen. Then the crowd, like the
,hrce shrek ing women that Giuseppe
was shooting at, beat it for shelter.
Giuseppe. who is.a twenty six -year-old
shoemak er living at II Cooper square. was
irving to kill some of his relatives. The
two girls and their mother, who were
trving to dodge his bullets, are named
rorino, and the girls are garment workers
and have lived at 50 Carmine street during
the ten years that they and their mother
and father have been in this country.

Two weeks ago relations between
Maria's family and Cousin Giuseppe

DAYS he trailed after Maria as she came
and went from work, protesting his love
aloud until the loungers on the doorsteps

angry now and spoke her mind iorcibly
TO Giuseppe one day last week. He drew
a paper covered parcel from his pocket
then and said that all was over-he was
going to commit suicide:
While Maria and her eighteen-year-old
sister still were haranguing him Giuseppe
united the package and gobbled down a
handful o! the powder that the papee,r,
contained He turned into n saloon. still
swallowing the poison by the handful.
