 Columbus Place, formerly known as Mulloy's Lane, wound up the glorious celebration of yesterday with mur- der. Louis Fasciano, a barber, who has a shop on the corner of Columbus Place and North Washington avenue, and who formerly was special police man and court interpreter in New York city, in an altercation with Sal vatore and Antonio Pizzuto, brothers, shot Antonio through the heart after he had been stabbed by one of the brothers when both drew knives
 Fasciano claims he shot in self de- fence. He is at St. Vincent's hospital with q stab wound in his left side, over the fourth rib penetrating the lung, a deep slash on the right fore arm, and a deep wound in his head Fatrolman David Ryan picked up the revolver used by Fasciano, as it lay in the gutter where the barber had dropped it. The handle was smeared with blood, showing that the barber
 
 his right hand had been covered with blood when he drew his revolver and killed Antonio Pizzuto.
 The trouble started in the saloon in North Washington avenue at the cor ner of the lane, conducted by Gius- scope TripodeHa The saloon keeper saw there was trouble brewing among the members of the party, who were FaSciano, Salvatore Pizzuto, bootblack at the railroad station; Antonio Pig yvIf a street near Bullen's Hotel, and Vim cenzoS Josephi, of 1855 Fourth avenue, New York city. A few years ago F'aSciano, then a widower with three children, married Rose JoSepha, a widow with a family of grown-up ch1l- dren. Salvatore Pizzuto, who is best known as Sam, married one of the daughters There was strong dislike between the, step-father and the husband of his step-daughter.
 Yesterday Vencenzo JoSepha came from New York with his wife and three to spend the holiday. During the evening Fasciano got out his re volver and fired three of the ball cart ridges in the air in celebration of the day. Between 8 and o'clock he took his step-son, Vincenzo, out to Tr1po- della's barroon for "a drink The P1z- zuto brothers were there Salvatore being married to VincenZo'S sister, thought he had a right to show 8, little to the visitor from New York. They did not care about buying any drinks for F'asciano and he did not care to mix up with them. The bar Der and bootblacks became involved. in a wordy altercation and soon they were the center of aItercation.
 Fasciano seemed to be inclined to let things pass, but the brothers raked up all of the gossip they had ever heard about him in this country and in Log gia, their native State in Italy. The barber had the cleverest tongue and his sharp retorts won laughter from the crowd which was listening. The sharp tongue of F,asciano and the wine of TripodelIa were breeding a fury in the minds of the Pizzuto brothers. Suddenly they reached for their knives. Then several men interfered The bar and wanted to know if they want ed to prevent him from renewing his license. He hustled them into the street. They were obliged to go down and while they were upon the steps, Maria Fasciano, IA year old daughter of the barber, came out of the house just across the way and besought the men to stop their quarreling.
 Suddenly several people saw the wranglers come together. The Pig autos must have had their knives open ready for the fray. AS near as can be learned from eye witnesses Saliva tore brought the barber to his knees by burying a three and a half inch blade into his left side. Antonio sIashed at Fasciano, opening the wound in the right forearm and then ripping open the scalp. It was then that he ran his hand into his coat pocket and brought his gun into play.
 At the crack of the gun Salvatore saw his brother fall and not risking the chance of having his wounded and naimed adversary turn his revolver on 1im he broke into a run toward Grand street. Anna Napolitano, a pretty Italian girl who is employed in groc- cry store nearby, saw the killing and that Salvatore had been the first to strike, she gave chase to Salvatore as he ran carrying his bloody knife. Several men in the saloon at Grand street and North Washington avenue heard the girls cries and going put they saw PizzutO run past, but either no one cared to stop a man with m open knife in his hand, or no one 'ealized the situation.
 Salvatore PizZuto is held without pail to await the result of the injuries received by Fasciano. This morning le was identified by Anna Neapolitano IS the man she saw striking FaSciano with stick The stick is thought by the police to have been a pool cue which Salvatore brought with him out )f the saloon.
 vincenzo Josepha proved himself a lutiful stepson When he saw his stepfather go down, and saw him shoot, he had visions of dear old New Ycrk. He ran into his stepfather's house. not more than 40 feet away, tucked two of his children under his arms and, telling his wife to bring the other one. ran through Columbus Place toward Main street where he boarded trolley for the railroad station. Thus -he family made the station The po- ice got word to Officer Ike Williams o be on the lookout for the family just IS the 10:3O o'clock train had pulled put.
