HIS life. IT was too dark to recognize
anybody distinctly, but Piazza told
Thomas Turner an East Chicago police
man that he was satisfied that Russo
had tried to take his life.
The state represented by Attorneys
Ralph Ross and ID. Z. Boone, will show
that there was bad blood between the
two fruit dealers, but will have to rely

prove Russo's alleged guilt. Russo who
is represented by McAleer Bros. and
McGirr, will try to prove an aIibi. with
which he hopes to convince the jury
that at five o'clock on the morning on
which the shooting took place he was
still at home and that he was accom-
panied all the way TO East Chicago be-
tween five and six O'Clock by Gustavs
Lombardo.
The jury for the case was completed
yesterday, and the state made its open
