NEW YORK, March 3i.-When
sweet-faced Anna Mangano was shot
TO death by her father on an east side
street the police were astounded 10
discover that the murder was commit
ter through love for the girl as she
was as child before education plac-
ed her on higher pedestal than her
peasant parents.
II was "a tragedy OF American immi'

A little baby girl was born. They
loved IL TO distraction. The mother
toiled alone for the girl; the fathers
waking hours were devoted TO plans
for the beautiful child. Anna was the
brightest girl in school. The pride OF
the father and mother knew no bounds.
They thanked God they were in tho
great United States. where they could
make OF their daughter lady.
All OF their money was spent for
the girl. The father gladly gave all his
earnings for clothes, music lessons. a
piano, trinkets and books. OF which the
girl was especially fond.
She became an attractive, delightful
young woman. AT 20 she was an ac-
complished pianist. A short time Ia
ter she secured position teaching In
the public schools.
The dream of the father and mother
TO make her a lady had come true.
But something had slowly come be-
tween them and the girl.
She had become lady. but they
were still the hard-toiling peasants oil

thoughtful. but they had put her into
another world than theirs.
Their Preside talk did not interest
her and her books and school work
did not interest them. Only her music
gave them a common ground. But af.
ter time she began to play Chopin
and Tschaikowsky.
The father began to scold her. She
could not reason with him. AT last,

grown away from him.
AT last he saw dimly that he must
make something more OF himself than

ter great effort, he secured the posi-

marriage license clerk.
But Annas world was still distant
from him. He saw the dream he had
cherished most in life fading. Melan
choly made rim insane.
The other morning. while Anna was
on her way TO school. surrounded by
her children, the father sent bullet
through her head.
Before he could kill himself he was
arrested.

Peters was one of the "bolters'' who
