Another Murder in Northumberland
Italian Saloonkecper Stabbed TO Death b,
Fellow Countryman-BI Hand Rumor

Another bloody murder was add
ed to Northumberland county S
long list Friday night-the one
hundred and eighteenth in twenty
one years The victim is an Italian
saloonkceper named Joseph Delago,
who ran a pool room in connection
with his bar at Shamokin. He had
been resident of that town for
twenty-five years and was well.to
do. He had amassed a comfortable
fortune, and the fact that many of
his countrymen were indebted to
him for loans gives rise TO the sus-
picion that there was a plot back of
his murder.
The murderer's name is Angelo
Moravi, an Italian who has been in
this country only a couple of
months. Moravi, with two fellow
countrymen, Louis Ferrari and Toe
Lanori, were in Delago's place
playing pool, A dispute arose and
Delago went to separate the men,
when quick as a flash Moravi drew |
a stietto and struck Delago in the
neck, the blade penetrating the
jugular vein, and then before the
victim could turn around, thrust
the weapon into his groin and sew
cred the semoral artery. Delago
stepped backward ard fell and died
in few minutes. Moravi ran from
the building and boarded Shamo-
kin and Edgewood car and after
riding few squares jumped off and
got OH a Mt. Carmel car. The po-
lice were promptly notified. Two
Of the State constabulary hastened
10 Mt. Carmel and found Moravi
standing at a bar drinking, When
he learned that the officers were the
State ccnstabulary he gave himself

covered with blood-even the mou-

Jack to Shamokin Saturday for a
