Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. April Am Italian whole
sale baker, a man of means and of con-
siderable standing in his community took
summary methods with supposed Black
Handler who approached him this morn
ing. The baker is Antonio Morda of 127
Columbia street, Brooklyn. who last night
in response to threats from three men who
held him up. promised to give over $1,000
this morning. But this morning he car
ried a loaded six-shooter instead Of 5000
and he half-emptied the weapon into the
body of the supposed Black Handler. The
latter who said he was Alfonso Vicido-
mini. is in the Long Island College Hos
pital at the point of death. Morda was
put under arrest.
Tells Story to Police.
The baker told his story this morning
in the Amity street station house, upper
turbed by the events that had just tran
spired. He said that while he was down
Columbia street last night at about 8
o'clock he was stopped by three men.
They demanded 5000 Morda after a
moments thought, agreed They wanted
the money at once. but Morda told them
he could not get it then. He told them
that If one of them would come around
to his house the next mOrning-that is,
this morning-he would give up the 5000.
At I O'Clock this morning Vicidomini
appeared at the basement of the whole
sale bakers store. In the meantime.
Morda says, he had armed himself with
.3s-caliber revolver, had filled the six
chambers and had put an extra half
dozen cartridges in his pocket.
Vicidomini entered the store, which is
in the basement of the three-Story brick
house owned by Morda. The baker says
he asked for the money and Morda told
him that he did not want the clerk to see
the transaction, would he step up to the
street.
Opens Fire on His Caller.
Vicidomin stepped to the street and
Morda reached for his pocket. 1t was
the revolver and not a roll of bills that
the baker drew forth. He opened fire.
The first shot pierced VicidominTs right
breast and the second pierced his left.
The supposed Black Handler ran down
the street. Morda took one more shot
and as he started to return to his store
he saw Vicidomini fall to the sidewalk.
Two policemen heard the shots. They
sent in an ambulance call and asked by
ISLANDERS who did the shooting. They
were told. In the shop they found
Morda apparently unconcerned. He read
lily accompanied them to the station
house and as readily told his story. Wei
domini was just able to tell his name on
his way to the hospital.

miners expect their demands will be
granted with little delay.

Steel Company Has Coal.

PITTSBCRG, April 2.-According to re-

try is proof against serious disturbance
from the suspension of coal mining in
the central competitive districts As it has
accumulated some stock, depends largely
upon non-union districts and has the Con-
nelisville field to call back on in a pinch.
The report that tube production might be
curtailed also probably has no foundation
in fact.

ton. in its meeting with President Fran

increase in the cost of mining, but will
