THREE LITTLE CHILDREN
SHOT BY IN ITALIAN
Brutal Crime By q Strange Man Ia
Utica, n. Y.
ONE DEAD AND ANOTHER DYING
Unknown Man Lures Three Little
Tots Away And Then Shoots
Them Down In Gold BloOd-One
OF The Victims Only Two And A
Half Years Old-Wounded Chill
dren Were Alone Under A Gull
vert All Night.

Utica, N. Y. Especially One Of
the cruelest murders that ever shock
ed civilized community was re-
vealed in this city, when three chill
iiren, who had been lured from their
homes by a strange Italian. were
found hidden in a thicket of golden
rod in East Utica. one dead, one dy-
ing and the third painfully wounded
BY q revolver shot In her left arm.
The child killed on the spot was
Theresa Procopio, aged z, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Raffaele Procopio;
Ferdinando Infusino, aged 80
Tnfusino, was shot through the
bowels, and his sister, Fannie, aged
years, was wounded by q bullet
through the left forearm.
1t is supposed that the crime was
committed by some one who had a
grudge against the father Of one of
the other Of the children.
Little, Fernando Infusino is at the
point of death at Paxton Hospital.
He cannot live, for a revolver shot
has torn great hole in his abdomen.
His sister, Fannie, also at Paxton
Hospital, suffers great pain, for the
bone In her left arm is shattered,
and in consequence the police have
been able to CLEAN but little from her
concerning the circumstances of the
crime and the identity of the per-
petrator.
All day long two bloodhounds
owned by the New York Central
Railroad worked at the scene of the
crime, and finally traced the scent
of the murderer to car line half
. mile from the spot where the crime
was committed. But despite the eff
forts Of 40 police officers and plain
clothes men little apparently has
been accomplished beyond the ap-
prehension Of several suspicious per-
sons who were liberated after they
had explained their movements dur
ing the past "a hours.
The children went out for a walk
on Blocker Street, and a short dis
tance from their home they were ac-
costed by a strange Italian. 1t is
said that the stranger assured the
little Infusino girl that she need not
fear him, because he was a friend
OF her father. The quartet was seen
going up Third Street, but from that
time their movements are unknown.
Words can hardly describe the
fendish cruelty or the crime. One
of the victims was but toddling in
FAINT, and after the murderer had
dred a .3S-caliber bullet through. the
baby's body the little one, still con-
scious, was left lying on the ground
to suffer all night. The baby's sister,
little Fannie Infusino, though shot
through the arm, spent the night
sitting beside here little brother, and
when day broke she called for help.
A few feet away from the little boy
lay the body of the Procopio child.

Paris Especially. - Neither Miss

The arrival of the Duke of the

much speculation in the American

mean renewal of the romance
which many Americans here believe
never was really broken off. 1t is
reported that the Duke, after going
to Italy, will proceed to Switzerland,
where he will meet Miss Elkins.
