Five little children, all too small to realize the significance of death.
 were crying today when the police
 went to the home of PasquaIe Nes- poll, in POS North Washington ave- nue to make further inquiries into the staying of Nespoli by Tony Colet- ta. All five are the children of the slain. man. who was but 34 years of age.
 That Tony Coletta fleeing from the scene of the shooting just before II o'clock Sunday night, when Nespoh pursued him as far as Grand and Main streets before he fell with exhaus- ton, made the gravel yards of the
 Burns Co. his refuge from policial pursuit is now known to the police.
 Coletta was a driver for the Burns Go. His sharp features, marked by the ravages of small pox, and scared by burns, made his face so striking that the police say his capture should be accomplished, by his description alone, if it is only sent broadcast. By night it Is expected that circulars ask will be sent to every city of import ance throughout the country.
 After the shooting Sunday night q search was made of the big barn of the Burns Go. in Lindley street. where it was known that the drivers were search was futile. But Monday the police discovered evidence that con vinced them Coletta slept in small shed. He had made his entrance into the lonely structure by tearing off a loose board. This was found bright police that Coletta has been seen in the neighborhood of the shooting. even as late as Monday afternoon, are not credited.
 Coletta is believed to have planned the shooting with much deliberation. Information has been givep to the police that on Sunday afternoon he spent much time in the back yards of the thickly populated section near Columbus place and North Washing ton avenue. He surveyed the yards, placed boxes and barrels to one side, and in other ways laid out the terri tory to the mystification of those who saw him. Later they concluded he was preparing to flee, expecting trou- ble. and wanted to be sure of his 
 NespoIi's death occurred at St. Vim cents hospital at o'clock this morn ing. The bullet tore through his in- testines and though two operations were performed his condition was so grave that they did no good. Nespoli and Coletta were married to sisters. Coletta's wife thought he had sum of money when they were welded. Her disappointment led to a quarrel. and she twitted CoIetta with his ugli- ness and left him.
 Sunday afternoon Coletta attended 8 party at the home of Giuseppe Pie tro in North avenue, almost opposite the jail. It was the feast of San or St. Joseph and Giusep- pes wife and their three boarders were celebrating it. He left Giusep- pes home, went to his boarding house at North Washington avenue and Grand street. walked down a block to the home of Nespoii, where 1 his wife was stopping, and demanded admission.
 When Nespoli came out, they ex- changed bitter words, then Coletta fired three shots, one of which pierced the abdomen of Nespoli. The victim the fugitive to Grand street, across from North Washington ave- nue to Main street then fell exhaust ed while Coletta made his way through the darkness to the Lindley street shed.
 Superintendent Birmingham caus- ed circulars to be dispatched broad ! cast for the apprehension of Coletta l He is described as 25 five feet 5 l inches tall, weighing about 150, with 1 dark brown hair, and extensive scars iHU DOCK IIdTkS OH the IdCe.
 AS is frequently the case in such crimes, the police are badly handi- 1 capped by the reticence of the parties l most deeply interested. Whether it i is fear of further violence, or of the | of the "Black Hand" l the relatives of the dead Italian are l reluctant to come to the front with 1 such information as will aid the po- | lice in leading to his capture.
 The police are further handicapped 1 by not having in the detective burea u | any person familiar with the langu- age of the Italian people.
 Fear was expressed in the house of | death today when it was learned that COletta remained here over Sunday 1 night, that he may be still in the waiting to do away with his | bride She remained indoors through 1 put the day, closely guarded by rela- lives and friends of the dead man.
