game of cards and too much Chi
anti. participated in by a number of
Italians in Willow Tree alley southwest,
ended in a tragedy last night. when Car
mela di Dominica. thirty years old, while
locked in a desperate struggle with Louis
Consta. grabbed a large butcher knife
and plunged it into the latters back.
Consta released his hold on di Domin-
ico's throat and sank to the floor.
Later at Providence Hospital. where the
wounded man walked after temporarily
recovering himself, il was said his
chances to recover were slight.
Both men grappled, according to eye
witnesses, when one passed the lie to
the other over the cards. The clinCh was
broken but for a second, and several
blows were passed. Di Dominica is al
legged to have reached to a table and OBJ
tained a large carving knife. He raised
the knife over the back of his adversary
and drove it deep into his body. Consta
fell with a groan. Di Dominica ran from
the house, but was arrested and locked
up at the Fourth precinct station.
Consta in the meantime, showed re-
markable grit. and, despite the gaping
wound in his back walked to Providence
Hospital He was placed on the operating
table. where his wound was sewed up.
The man lapsed into Inconsistencies
shortly after reaching the hospital, and
at an early hour this morning was
thought to be in a critical condition.

ROBBERY OF STORE
STILL A. MYSTERY
Woman Under Arrest May
Be Released.

With the police of the Seventh pre-
cinct following every clew which might
lead to the arrest of the robber who held
UP two women clerks in the Sanitary
grocery store, 3l9 NJ street northwest
Monday morning, a deeper mystery now
surrounds the situation. Miss Annie
Dorsey, arrested shortly after the affair.
suspected of being implicated in the rob-
berry. is still~being held at the House of
Detention, but as nothing conclusive has
teen proved against her, it is likely she
will be released.
While several persons made statements
which are against the woman from the
standpoint OF circumstantiaI evidence,
she has been able to account for her
actions, and her statements have been
substantiated- 1t is still the contention
of Capt. Schneider. of the Seventh pre-
cinct, that a man dressed in woman s
clothes committed the robbery. Detec-
tives also are Of the opinion that the
work was done by a man, the theory be-
ing that no woman could have displayed

he slept with the razor under his head:
that he ever kept a razor in the house
for the purpose of even shaving. but
kept all his razors at the barber shop.

ago he secured a pistol; that his wife
was afraid of burglars and requested
him to get the weapon. and that il was
kept in bureau drawer: that he desired.
month ago, to see the children, and
wrote a letter to his wife to that effect,
