was believed that his real pos; was
to be Minister OF Foreign Affairs at
Mexico city. to take the place OF Ro-
tas. The Minister OF Foreign Affairs
is in direct line for President under
the Mexican Constitution, SO that this
would bring to succession a man re-
Cardcd as particularly strong in case
Jiucrta disappeared from the scene.
Casasus was formerly Mexican am
bassador at Washington, ana those
who know him we'll. including some of
the mediators. spoke In high terms of
his fitness for the foreign ministry
ana the presidential succession at this
jurcture.
The understanding to-day was that
the mcdiators would limit their efforts
for the time being 10 the settlement
OF the rampico incident, which Is re
sponslblc for the Americans being in
Vera Cruz. and had given up hope of
interesting the Constitutionulists In
the first stage, but also had determined
TO postpone consideration OF any
definite plans for settling the dispute
between Iiucrta and the United States.
BY this procedure the mediators would
avoid the problems OF Quasi-rccoE-
milton OF TIuerta or OF the elimination
of the Mexican dictator and conditions
precedent To mediation, which diplo-
matte skeptics wero sure would wreck
the negotiations at tho very outset.
y simpler problem, that OF the de-
gree and nature OF the amends TO be
offered by Iiucrta for the conduct of
his generals and subordinatcs at Tam
pico and Vera Cruz. would be for med, :
iators to solve, and success in this pre-
.liminarY effort would contribute great.

ShillitOni Faces Chair for
Shooting Gangster and
Two Policemen.
TRIPLE KILLING
SEEN FROM WINDOW
Case Was Complicated by Wit.
neSseS' Dread of Appearing
Against Gunman.

Oreste Shillitoni also known as the
Paper Box Kid" was found guilty OF
murder in the first degree yesterday be-
fore Judge Malone, in General Sessions.
He was accused OF shooting and killing
John Rizzo and Patrolmen William Heany
and Charles Teare. His conviction was
due largely TO the testimony given
against him by Nellie hi Carlo. sixteen
years old. lie will be sentenced on
Friday.
From the day OF the triple shooting on
MAY there were all kinds of difficulties
in the case. Rizzo was shot Just before
midnight in Mulberry street by a gunman
who appeared TO have been lying in wait
for him The shooting was under the
very eyes of Patrolman Heany.
Heany ran across the street, knotting
the thong OF his nightstick about the
wrist. Shilitoni's revolver was levellcd
and the policeman aimed blow at the
gunman's head with the stick. The blow
never fell When the policeman was
within yard of him the gunman fired
and Heany fell dead. Patrolman Teare
who was less than a block away. came OF
the run. Shilitoni turned in his flight
and put bullet into Tcare, which caused
his death day later.
Little italy was ransacked by detcc-
tiyes. and after q long search Detectives
Digilio, Fogarty and Di Martini found
Nellie Di Carlo. Despite the protests OF
her father. who said that the girl could
not possibly know anything OF the muir
der. they took her TO Headquarters. She
said that she had been looking from the
window OF her home, at No 2t3 Mulberry
street. and had seen Shilltoni shoot Rizzo
and Heavy She was sure IL was tho
Paper Box Kid" After telling her story
she was afraid 10 go home. and since her
first statement to the police she has been
sheltered by Mrs. Isabella Goodwin, OF
the Detective Bureau.
In preparing the case for trial, Isdor
Wasservoge, Assistant District Attorney
found moro trouble. The young mans
father Michael, was the owner Of severs
houses in Mulberry street in the neigh
and it was regarded as natural that his
neighbors should hesitate to testify against
his son.
II was not until shortly before the trial
that Mr. Wasservogel succeeded in oh
talning conflrmatory statements from
Gennaro Selitto ard James Morelli.
