ARRAleNED FOR MURDER
Frank FedeIe Formally Charged with
Killing of Raffaelo Berbato

Frank Fedele was arraigned before
Justice OF the Peace Howe of the
town of Hoosick yesterday. charged
with murder in the first degree in
shooting and causing the death of
Rafaelo Berbato of River street, this
town, at Petersburg Junction Wednes
day afternoon. The prisoner pleaded
not guilty and his examination was
adjourned at the request of his at
torney John j. Mackrel of Troy UNI
Ill Tuesday of next week Assistant
District Attorney pullman appeared
for the prosecution and after the case
had been adjourned he and James
Custo, interpreter, went to the scene
OF the shooting and obtained state
ments from witnesses.
The funeral of Berbato was held in
Troy at 6 o'clock Wednesday evening
and interment was in that city. Mrs
Berbato and daughter Graziella of
this town, widow and daughter, res
pectively Of the man who 1t is alleg.
ed was murdered, attended the SER
vices In that city, returning here to-
day. Samuel Berbato, the seventeen
year old boy who witnessed the Stay.
ing OF his father remained in this
town.
Should Fedele be held for the
grand jury and indicted, the boy Is
likely TO prove an important witness
for the state as his version of the
story varies enough from the accep-
ted accounts to seem to furnish
strong foundation for the opinion that
the shooting was in nowise acclden-
tai.
Excepting the boy, Berbata was the
sole support of the family and so far
as could be learned the family is In a
none too prosperous state.

The finding Of a skull near the og-

speculation among those that are
given to inquire into the unknown.
Clarence L. stealey, fireman on the
Baltimore & Ohio, discovered some
boys kicking the skull. He thought
that 1t was the skull of a human. He
took II and washed 1t up and sure
enough his conjecture proved to be
true. The skull was handed over to
Coroner Frank Lloyd. The coroner
could not get any clue and as the indi.
cations pointed that the skull had

spl ENplp CROWD AND EVERY:
THING PASSED OVER NICELY
ALE FAIStRs AND THEIR LIKE
DID BIG BUSINESS.

II was the general comment that the
large crowd here to attend the Bar.
nun and Bailey showi yesterday was
much different in many particulars
from many that have been here on
previous occasions.
There was less drunkenness in the
streets and practically no disorder IN
the city or at the show grounds. II
there were any pickpockets following
the show; they did little If any busi-
ness here for no one is known to have
made ii public II their pockets were
picked by the smooth gentry. Though
not reported to the police, several
homes were entered on, Jackson
street as the parade was passing
through that section while the occu.
pants were on their porches and
other small yaluables taken, among
which was a handbag belonging to a
woman on Monroe street containing
over $50. The thieves entered from
the rear OF the homes and after max,
ing hasty searches would go to the
next house. It may be that there were
quite a number Of homes entered in
this way and money stolen which will
in all probability neFeFbe known by
the public.
1t is conservatiyely estimated that
there were. fully 10000 persons in
Fafrmont yesterday, and 1t was prob.
ably The largest crowd ever in this
city.
1t was noticed in this large crowd
along Main street that there were few
even country folIs- carrying uni;
brellas, as in the years gone by on cilS
Gus day and that there were also few
perambulators to congest the streets,
the infants being carried In the arms
of the mother.

that he alone sold 300 ballons during

who conducted stands and sold novel
