after o'clock occurred a cold-hlood-
ia 4anrse., Wien Angl die C@r.Aa+
20 killed Raphael di Costanzo What
caused him 10 commit the deed is not
known, and it is believed that 1t was
done without provocation.
The murdered man was employed
by the company as labor agent, and
was preparing this morning to leave
for New York to secure men for work
in the quarries here. He visited the
Office about s o'clock to arrange for
his transportation and then returned
to the home of Frank di Cost
While sitting in the house Angelo Di
Constance walked near there and Sc
creted himself behind shanty. He
then called for Raphael hi Constan-
20 to come out as he had business
with him.
Responding to the call Raphael
walked out of the house, and when
he was few feet from the door An
glo stepped from his ihdingplace and
fired at linn with 32-calibre revolt
yer. the bullet taking effect in the right
side of his chest Raphael turned and
started to enter the house, and as he
did the assailant again opened fire
and shot him twice in the back. He
fell from the door TO the ground and
expired Immediately.
The murderer accompanied by Nick
Yoeomo and Nicola Yocomo, fled at
once, and when last seen were going
in the direction of Kearneysville.
This was the last seen of them. All
were heavily armed, and It is believ-
ed that they will resist arrest 1t is
also thought that they meant to
reach the railroad and board train
for New York.
Immediately following the shooting
the news was conveyed to the office
of the company and Stephen Rogers,
chief clerk, telephoned to Sheriff Ket-
tering advising him of what had oc-
CURED. The sheriff, in company with
Constable Wolfe, Charles II. Blake
Deputy sheets, officers Hough and Nc
Donald and others, hurried to the
scene in automobiles and found the
dead man lying where he had fallen
surrounded by number of his coun-
trymen and Superintendent Sharples.
The body had not beenmolested in the
least, and the sheriff, after learning
some of the details, telephoned Cor
onor w. II. Kline, and he with Under
taker WHEN, soon arrived and took
the body in charge.
Cornor Kline viewed the body and
ordered ii brought to the undertaking
parlors of Mr.. Wilen where it now is.
He also asked Superintendent Sharp
les to have those who know any
thing about the affair to come to the
undertaking parlors tonight where the
inquest win be held at o'clock at the
morgue. Twenty-Five cents inomney
was found on the dead man.
The only eye witness to the shoot
ing is Frank di Costri, a cousin
of the murdered man. When he heard
the first report of the revolver he
rushed to the door and met Raphael
trying. to stagger in He also identi
fed the man who fired the fatal shots
as well ass those who were with him.
