Armed Posse Is Searching
Quincy, Mass, July 31.-Louis
Restelli is at large in the North Com
mon while hundreds of men, police
and civilians. are covering every exit
and preparing to close in upon the
slayer.
Restelli left trail of blood in Quin
cy yesterday afternoon. Not only did
he kill two, but he shot at six others,
wounding four. of whom at least one
is expected to die.
The dead: Mrs. Mariana Restelli,
aged 70, mother of the slayer, was
killed instantly by a bullet in her
brain; Henry E. Hardwick, vice pres
ident of the Quincy Electric Light
company and prominent quarry own
er, was shot seven times and died al
most instantly.
The injured: Benjamin Bishop,
quarry worker, shot several times in
the body, is at Quincy city hospital on
the dangerous list; Gaspare Restelli,
brother of the slayer, shot several
times in the body, is at Quincy city
hospital on the dangerous list; G. T.
HardWick, quarry owner, shot in
the knee, is manned for life; Henry
Adrian, quarry worker, has a flesh
wound in his body Edwin Bishop
and Joseph Bishop, brothers of Ben
jamin Bishop, were shot at but es-
capped injury ~-';i ~rs~>ss-..s.
The sudden frenzy which overcame
Restelli, who is a quarry worker here,
is explained as far as it is possible by
financial difficulties and because the
persons whom he attacked would not
aid him in business. II lsss.si
The shooting was all done within 4
halt-hour, but after that there were
hours OF suspense in which the fugi-
tive was slowly traced from one point
10 another by the quickly increasing
bands of armed men who sought him
dead or alive.
Restelli drove about on his errand
OF death in carriage. He carried two
revolVers and seemingly endless
amount of ammunition, and there is
no doubt entertained by all who know
MIN that he will not surrender. but
will sell his life as dearly as pos
sible.
1t was 2:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon when Restelli called at the home
OF his mother, Mrs. Mariana Res
tell, to request loan of money which
he had been trying to raise for sew
eral days. No one saw the tragedy
that followed, which it is supposed
started upon her refusal to accede to
his request. The body was later
found in the house pierced by several
bullets.
Leaving his mother dead on the
floor, Restelli rushed out of the house
and started for his brothers place of.
business on Penn street. At the
corner Of Penn street, ResteIli left
his horse in charge of a small boy and
walked down to the stone shed of his
brother, Gaspare, with whom he had
been in business.
Henry Adrian, the boOkkeeper. was
standing in the yard and without
word of warning, Restelli pulled out
both revolvers and fired a shot from
each. One bullet struck Adrian. The
crazed man fired point blank at Gas
pare. He dropped, probably MORALLY
injured.
Restelli, after wounding his broth
er, did not stop, but ran to the stone
cutting yards of Benjamin Bishop. He
called to Bishop to come out and then
walked with him around a corner and
rev a revolver. Bishop knocked it
rom his hand, and he drew another
With which he shot Bishop twice. Ed
win Bishop came out and he shot at
lin twice, but missed
Restelli then jumped into the buggy
gain and drove to the Hardwicks.
Asking to use, the telephone he did
ot wait for an answer, but started
hooting. One bullet struck Theo-
ore Hardwick in the knee, and an

lg fatal.
