in Baltimore After Hav-
ing Fled.

the Casualty Hospital and the arrest of
his father-in-law, Frank Mannarino, in
Baltimore on a charge of homicide, fol-
lowed last night the shooting Saturday
afternoon i'm the little store at 3O1 Penn
sylvania avenue.
The victim of the bullet fired from
his father-in-law's revolver grew rapidly
worse during Saturday night and yester-
day morning, and the announcement from
the hospital early yesterday afternoon
that the patient could not live caused the
police to redoubIe their efforts to capture
the assailant.

hurried to Baltimore by Chief Of De
tectives Boardman in the belief that
Mannarino had fled in that direction lie

bard street. and Detectives Porter and
Busic Of the Monumental City police took
him in custody.
MannarinO, who says he had made one
attempt to give himself up. claims he
shot Crstando because the latter threat
ened him. He says he thought he was
firing in self-defense. Immediately after
the shooting Mannarino went to Balti-
more.
Didn't See a Policeman.
Yesterday morning, he told the police.
he decided to give himself up and boarded
an electric car in the Monumental city
and rode, as far as White House station
There he alighted. but as no policemen
appeared to place him under arrest he
decided to return to Baltimore.
An investigation of the case will be
conducted before a coroner's jury at the
morgue tomorrow morning at IL O'Clock.
Mannarino is expected to be surrendered
by the Baltimore authorities and brought
to Washington late today.
