The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-08-01

Romance was woven today into the murder of Nicholas Biafore, by his dis charged emp1oye, Joe Marano, when the police uneartfed the secret of rne unrequited love of Rosie, Biafore's daughter.
 The police declare that she was deeply infatuated with her first cousin, Tony Biafore. and that Tony and Joe Marano were boon companions4 /
 Marano, inhamed for the moment by his quarrel with Biafore, because he did not give him his wages, had cher ished grudge for many weeks, and the dispute over the wages was the straw that broke the cannePs back
 Marano's difference with Biafore arose from the fact that the Biafore family accused him of being responsi- ble for Tony Biafore's indifference to Ro6ie's affection
 This was learned from many sources yesterday and today by the authori- ties who have traced the motive back through black-hand letter through 8 period of six months.
 That the case has far more ramifi- cations than was at first suspected is shown by the effort of detectives may tend to explain the recent illness of the entire family from ptomaine poisoning which all but carried the father and the oldest girl away in death. At the time the family were of the opinion they had purchased tainted meat from a local market and were threatening suit.
 According to the information given ouz, by the wife Ss2 the murderer. a deep grievance wa& harbored in the Marano family by the attitude of the murdered man towards his former friend and ultimate murderer.
 Rose Biafore, the daughter of the ms i g II1f N09 old she is dark haired and with the characteris- tic trait of her race, could cloak but little her feeling for the one She ador- ed It was Tony Biafore, 22 years old, her cousin. He in his turn is said not to have reoiprocated that. great love before Christmas last year Then 1t is alleged Tony was seen by the uncle who tried to induce him to marry the daughter. It is said he consistently refused and that shortly afterwards he was either discharged or left his work and went to Norwalk.
 According to Mrs. Marano, the great friendship which formerly existed be- tween the trio of men was broken up. Biafore accused Marano of keep1ng Tony from marrying his daughter. Marano is said to have protested, and to have become even closer attached to Tony. There was an inseparable bond between them which the older Biafore could not cleave. But Marano had a wife and two years old child. He expected the advent of another within a month. Looking forward to the expected addition, Marano, shortly after the discharge of Tony, applied to Biafore for a raise from $1.75 per day to. S2.25. He was promised this, but not receiving it, again took the matter up and reported that after an argument the matter had been taken directly to the Director of Public Works who upon recommendation of the contractor refused to accede to the demand. It is asserted that Biafore then accused his murderer of having thwarted plans. for the marriage of his daughter.
 Yesterday, with but three cents in the house, deep gloom was cast upon the household and a brother suggested that he seek work in shops elsewhere The murderer went to the LocoIno'b1e company's plant and asserted that he had been promised a job. Money was needed and as he had in the meantime been discharged, checks for $10.5o which the wife held were to be cashed. It was the refusal of Biafore to give an order for the amount owed that di rectIy caused the shooting. The taunts of the murdered man in the morning that he was wealthy and could with stand any results of political interfer- ence preyed upon the mind of the mur- derer.
 At 10 o'clock he returned and told his wife that he could not see why fate had provided his one time friend with worldly goods while his (Bia- fore's) oppression had prevented even the necessities of life in the family of Marano.
 With this thought in mind and greatly excited, the murderer, though not seen by the wife, is believed to have stuck-his large A ca1ibre rcvcIv- CT, which was always kept in a bu reau drawer, beneath his trousers and belt and to have returned with the idea of securing his money or shoot ing the victim
 He found Biafore seated upon pile of iron Trails on Kiefer streee, in the shade of large elm trees and by about twenty workmen and freight-handlers from the nearby Whiting street depot. Stepping up to him he is variously alleged by wit nesses to have first demanded his money, then becoming more incensed at refusal to grant his demands which could only be done according to custom, on Friday, he is alleged to have whipped the revolver from be- meath his belt, or to have held it hid den in his pocket, and before any one could interfere to have shot his form CT friend dead.
 One of the most puzzling features of the murder to the authorities how ever, is the finding of a black hand
