Of the Italian. Setf Dozamlozot, for the
killing OF one Pasqually, at the
Youngs mine at Palatka last May.

Atty. Barassa. of Chicago, formerly
n Negaunee boy, who fought hard to
have his client acquitted on the self
defense" theory and who did succeed
in getting him off with manslaughter
and n term Of not less than six nor
more than fifteen years at Marquette.
ATTY. Dixon Of Stambaugh was also in
the case.
The trial OF the case occupied a
whole day g time, the defense calling
nearly twenty witnesses. The story OF
tha case as nearly as can be determined
from the evidence was tnat the defen-
dant and another Italian went 20 the
Youngs mine office 10 get their pay.
az they were going to quit. When they
got there they were told by the time
keeper that Dozamlozof had garnisheed
their nav for a ten dollar bin that was
owed him; that IL they would return
10 the Office about noon with either
Stef or his brother Joe. Mr.. Youngs

ordinary Italian way. When they neared
the Office the dead man grabbed Stef
hand, which was resting on his hin.
Deidrichs, the most important wit
ness. was standing in the engine house

that the men attempted to shake hands
as nearly M he could tell The deien-
dant claimed that he was grabbed by
the wrist by the dead man. AT any
rate Stef pulled q gun and shot Pas
qually dead. A number OF witnesses
were sworn who testified that the dead
man always carried gun. The de
tense was that the two men, whose

againt steph and Joe and were bent
upon mischief that Stepn knew OF the

no chance in defending himself. On
that ground they asked for acquittal.
