the two since the latter was dis
charged at the copper works. The
men are said to have been playing O
fayorite Italian betting game in the
| fields near the scene of the Staying,
when an argument arose which was

vacant hillside near Cornell and Bar
clay streets. Danielo, Frugi and an
other Italian are said to have deter
mined to give Ferra a beating, follow
ing the discharge by the foreman OF

men are said to have followed Ferra
! to the rear OF Giuseppe Giuffre's
place, after q quarrel at the grounds
/ where a big crowd was playing the
Italian game, "Bosca" According to
the story learned by County Inter
prefer Lombard, on interviewing
Italians who were about the scene.
Ferra was struck over the head with
shovel by one man and hit on the
: chin by a stone and a second time on
! the head by a "Bosca" ball. They
! declare that the three men had
: Ferra down on his back when the
attacked man drew the stiletto and
thrust DanielO in the side just above
| the left thigh, and then delivered
the fatal thrust between the mans
left ribs just below the armpit, the
dagger being sent four inches
through the mans heart. The
weapon took an upward, diagonal
| course. The wound was about one
inch in diameter at its mouth, as IL
the weapon had been turned after
1t had been plunged in the body.

he tried to aid Danielo, it is said.
| Mr.. lombard went to the home OF
Frugi who was stabbed In the arm,
but found that he had made his get
away after chinging his clothes. The
