The young man maintained his COM

back to his former home. AS soon as he
struck the big city, fresh from his arduous
labor in the mines he began TO act like a
young colt let out to grass.
He took a little more than the usual
amount of chianti. But the young fellow
remained sober and did not like the way
his parent acted. They had few words

neighbors.
The PuIeras took I'm quarters with the
Mantella family on the third floor of III
Mott street. About 7:30 CLOCK Domenico
ran upstairs and shouted to Mrs. Man

Then the tenement bestirred itself and
was agQg with excitement from cellar to
roof. A constant stream OF Italians
fiocked into the courtyard to gaze upon
dead man.
