DEAD AMID SIGNS OF STRy GGLE.
Murdered Man Apparently Fought Har d
and Was Slashed After Death.

A farmland VINO was going home at
9 O'Clock yesterday afternoon from his
day labor stumbled upon the body Of a
young Sicilien in a field near vesta and
Vienna avenues between East New York
and Canarsie. The man had been stabbed
to death and his body was scored " ith
wounds that evidently had been inflicted
after he was dead. The condition OF
The ground on which he lay led detectives
10 believe that the Italian had fought
hard to protect himself.
From envelopes found in the dead
mans pockets the police learned that the
body was that of Salvatore Concione. a
laborer who had been employed on road
construction ont in the direction OF
Mineola There were a pay envelope Of
the Hicks-Johnson Construction Com
pany OF Long Island City marked NO.

name Of Pietro Onnella. banker and
steamship agent Of 1876 Stone avenue.

addressed 10 Salvatore Concione and
another to Taetano Cironni.

case. Rad Dinnella go to the morg,Ie in
Brooklyn 10 look at the body He identi.
fed it at once as that Of Concione. Din
nella said that he had had some business
transactions with Concione and that a.
late az last week he had talked with him
over the telephone. Concione. he said
had been in this country about two years

Cologeio Psciotto's farm and it was on
the farm that the body was found
Concione's throat was slashed and
there wera numerous wounds on his
head, neck and chest This together
with the fact that the mans personal
effects had evidently not been ta,npered
with led the police to believe that revenge
WAS the object of the murder. In Con-
clones pockets were hunting knife and
pipe. The knife evidently had not been
used Near the body was a SO calibrs
revolver from which bullet had been
discharged, and it is thought that Con-
clone used this in an effort to defend nm
self. but that it had been wrenched from

Several hats which were found on the
grass gave evidence of the hasty flight

rlmor of a quarrel among Italians near

nothing to solve the crime. II was said
that Concione was married. The police
