 IS BROTHER OF OWN FATHER: WOMAN ABANDONS HER HOME
SELF DEFENCE IS PLEA OF PERRETTA'
 BEFORE CORONER
Says If He Hadn't Struck First, Antagonist Would Have
 Slain Him.

That he killed Luigi pi Giovanni in self defense was the story which John Perretta told Coroner John J. PheIan at the inquest yesterday afternoon. I'erretta claims he stabbed Di Giovan- nj with his pocket knife.
 s'I am an old man. I acted in self defense. I knew he would kill me if I didn't act quick I was too quick for him and thrust him with my knife,'' was part of, Perretta's state ment.
 Medical Examiner Garlick was of the opinion that tne-deep wound made between the first and second ribs on the right, side and which severed fhe pulmonary artery causing death was made by a stiletto, and that Perretta. could not have inflicted the wound which ended fatally for Di Giovanni occurred Saturday night at 148 Linen avenue where both men boarded.
 Perretta is employed on a steam drill on the construction of the addi- tion to the county court house. He is 52 years of age. He was entirely composed in manner when he made his statement to the coroner. He claimed that Di Giovanni brandished a knife first and threatened him with it.
 Rocco Mariana who lives in the same boarding house said the men had words over a dog on Friday evening and that the quarrel continued until Saturday, when the stahbing took place. Perretta was apprehended at the home of a friend in Norwallf where he went after the cutting.

ups as dampness affects the consis-
tency.
Fondant.-Add a quarter of a tea
spoonful of cream of tartar to two
pounds of granulated sugar and one
pint of water. Stir until dissolved,
then as it boils wash down the sides
Of the kettle to free 1t from grains of
sugar which will cause the fondant to
grain when it is poured out. Boil un-
til 1t forms a soft ball in ice water
or better yet when it registers 238
| degrees on the candy thermometer.
Pour out into large buttered platter
or on a cold marble slab, working 1t
with wooden paddle as soon as it be-
gins to cool around the edges. When
it is white and creamy and beginning
to set, pack it in bowl and cover
with damp cloth to ripen. The next
day it will be ready to use.
5onbons.-Mix small portions of
fondant with chopped fruits such as
figs, dates, raisins or preserved fruits,
then dip them in favored fondant
which may be delicately tinted with
any desired color, put on creased pa
per to drain and harden. For choco-
late drops, make the balls of fondant
and put them out to freeze, then dip
in melted chocolate and put on waxed
paper to harden.
Raspberry 5onbons.-Take a cupful
of fondant, mix it with four table
spoonfuls of raspberry jam, the seeds
may be removed If desired. Use con-
fectioner's sugar to assist in the mold
ing and handle as soft as possible.
Put out to chill. Melt over hot water
in double boiler a half cupful of
fondant. flavor with raspberry and
tint rose color. Drop in the balls one
at time using two forks or two hat
pins or wire with loop end to take
out the coated balls. Drain and har-
den on waxed paper or a buttered
baking sheet.

WHOLE WEEKS CELEBRATION
Descendants Of Old Spanish Settlers
Observed Christmas With Din
ners and Parties.

Among the descendants of the old
Spanish settlers we find that they OBJ
serve week in the celebration of
Christmas. This begins one week be-
fore Christmas. In the daytime they
have dinners at each others homes,
and in the evenings they give series
of parties at the different houses. In
the evening the young folk go to the
home of one of their number and
knock, and then all begin to sing.
Those within the house ask, who is
there?" and the answer is, "The Vir-
gin Mary and st. Joseph seek lodging
in your house." To carry out the Bi-
BILE story they are at first refused ad-
mittance, and then the door is opened
wide and they are all given a hearty
welcome.
On Christmas eve the old and
young all join together and have q
big celebration. In a large hall they
fix up one side to represent the man
ger, and here they very solemnly give
little play in which many take part,
the characters being Mary and Jo-
seph, the wise men, the shepherds
and the angels. This play is very real
to them. and they all play their parts
with a reverent spirit.

PLAIN DOGS GAME FIGHT
Withstands Attack of Three Until Boy
Takes Hand in Battle, Then
CrawIs Away to Die.

1t was dog, just plain yellow-hued
dog, that fought a battle at Superior
avenue.
There we're four in the fight. The
plain dog was on one side. The other
three formed the other army.
There was no question of a fight.
People interested stopped to see it.
Plain dog was nipped savagely on
the ear and was bitten on the back.
From cash in his neck blood flowed
to change plain dogs yellow to red.
But plain dog fought on.
The battle ended when a boy with
a stone and well-directed aim helped
put out one of the three other dogs.
Plain dog beat it. But there were
no other dogs following the plain dog.
The retreat was mastery.
None following, plain dog dropped
into limp; the broken leg must have
been distressingly painful.
In an areaway just behind a garage,
within a stones throw of the scene
Of the battle, was found what had
been the yellow dog.
Plain dog was dead.
