A double shooting tragedy occurred at
10 Third street at o'clock last evening
with fatal results for Mrs, Luigi Lungo,
who lived at that address, and Antonios
Caffi, aged 80, granite cutter living at
A Circle street, whom the police de-
scribe as Mrs. Lungo's infatuated lover.
Three shots fired at Mrs. Lungo from a
revolver in Caffi's hand took effect and
her death occurred at the City hospital
this morning at 2;30 o'clock. Immedi-
ately after shooting Mrs. Lungo, Cafi
turned the revolver on himself and sent
a bullet into his brain. Death was in
Simultaneous. Luigi Gattaro, a boarder,
was the only witness to the shooting
and he made haste to leave the apart
ments as soon as Caffi fired the first shot
at Mrs. Lungo.
An emergency telephone call at police
headquarters was the first intmation of
the shooting that the police received.
The call came from Gattaro a few min
utes after o'clock and the police were
quick to respond In falling, Cafii's
body lay over that of his victim, so that

police to arrive, extricated her body
rom the death clutches of Caffi and
wrapped her in quilt.
