Nicoli, a contractor, is believed
to have shot and killed his bride
of three months and is himself in
the hospital here today, lowering
between lifed an death from a
self-inflicted bullet wound in his
head.
During a period of conscious

that he and his wife quarreled
and that she shot herself. He
tried to end his own life when
he found she was dead, he said.
This story is not credited, as it
is known that Nicoli often made
threats against men with whom
he imagined his wife was on too
friendly terms.
