DYING as Result Of Kidnap-
ping Scrape.
Middletown, N. Y, Jan. 21.-A
brutal murder, which had as its OBJ
ject the kidnapping of the young
bride of one OF the victims, was COM
mitted just outside Of this city two
nights ago by three Italians.
The victim was Finizio Gaetano,
who was instantly killed, and Scan
ion Carmino, his friend, who is dy-
ing in a local hospital from wounds
inflicted by shots from revolver.
The bodies of both men were
found stretched across the railroad
tracks near the scene of the tragedy,
where they had been placed with
the evident intent of hiding the
crime.
Mrs. Gaetano was found tonight
by the authorities in an Italian shack
on the outskirts Of the city. She
was in a serious condition, as re-
suit of nervous shock, exposure and
i'll treatment, to which she had been
subjected.
She told the authorities she had
been taken to the shack Immediately
after the shooting and held there,
two of the men remaining until
shortly before noon.
Gaetano was recently married in
Italy and reached New York with
his young bride only last Monday.
The couple came direct to Middle
town and Tuesday night, in COM
pany with Carmino, mutual friend,
were walking along road about
two miles from this city. Suddenly
they were set upon by three Italians
armed with revolvers, and Gaetano
and Carmino were shot down.

FIFTY PERISH
Powder EXpIsion Causes Disaster
to Workmen Near Chicago
I'M A Marine TUNNEL


Half From Shore, in Lake Mich
igan, Blown to Pieces, Bruned
to Death or Drowned, and Large
Number Are Injured.
Chicago, Ill.,, Jan. 20.--Blown to
pieces by exploding powder, burned
to death by the resultant fire or
drowned in the icy waters Of Lake
Michigan was the fate today of fifty
three workmen, who were working
on submarine tunnel at a wooden
crib, a mile and half from shore.
The crib was used in the construc-
tion of tunnel connecting with the
south side shore Of the city at 73rd
street. 1t is known that niLety-five
workmen were employed in the crib
and the connecting tunnel at the
time of the explosion, which started
the fire and blew or drove men into
the water.
The work of the destroying ele-
ments was begun so Unexpectedly
and reaped its harvest Of dead and
injured with such swiftness that the
contracting firm of George w. jack
son and the rescuers have been un-
able to arrive at anything like an
accurate list Of those who perished,
or of others who escaped the fury
Of the flames or the icy waters of
the lake.
All south side hospitals are filed
with injured men tonight. City fire
boats and tugs Of the construction
company made frequent trips far
into the night to the scene of the
disaster through the heavy ice
foes.
The disaster apparently had it's
origin in a powder house of small
dimensions, situated about 100 yards
from the crib structure proper, but
at the same time being part Of
the general structure.
The dull detonation, muffled as It
was by the cruuching of floating ice
against the crib and the atmosphere
laden with heavy fog, simply aroused
the attention of the workmen, ac-
cording to servivors, and it was not
until the heat of the flames and the
sitting smoak penetrated the So
called living room" Of the crib and
the tunnel beneath the waters Of the
lake that the full import of the dis
~
aster daI led upon the workmen cut
off from quick succor.
One of the workmen with COOL
er head than his fellows, made his
way through the smoak to a little
inclosure in which was telephone
and gave the hurried message to the
shore station:
THE crib IS on fire. For Gods
sake send help at once, or we will
be buried alive. The tug"
At this point communication ceas-
ed and through the fog an occasional
burst of flames, and an unmistakable
odor of smoke made it known to
the watchers on shore that the tel
ephone message was in earnest.
The tug T. T. Morford was the
first to begin rescuing the frenzied
workmen.
After several hours Of heroic work
on the part of the rescuers thirty
nine workmen were rescued. When
the tug Conway and it's crew had
finally quenched the flames, fifty
three bodies had been carried to
the shore and placed in morgues In
South Chicago, awaiting identifica-
ton.
