ARE SHOT On
STATEN ISLAND
Mystery Surrounds Death Of
Two Men on Staten Island
Last Night

Two men believed to have resided
at Carteret were shot and killed on
Staten Island shortly before o'clock
last night. One was killed instantly
and the other died at st. Vincent's
hospital on Staten Island about 8
o'clock this morning without regain
ing consciousness.
From what has been learned by
Captain Ernest l.. VanWagner, of the
Ninth Branch Detective Bureau at
st. George, the two men went to
Staten Island about S:45 o'clock last
night over the Elizabethport ferry.
When they left the ferry instead OF
taking the trolley they started to
walk along the lonely road over Hol-
land avenue toward Arlington.
Passengers on a trolley car that had
just left the ferry heard four shots
fired and when the crew of the car
made an investigation they found the
two men lying in the road. One was
dead with bullet wound in his face
and the other, who was shot In the side
of the head, was still alive.
An ambulance that had been called
took him to the hospital. Papers found
in their pockets indicated that they
were either Polish or Russians and
their names are believed to be Joseph
Bigelia and w. Radiszoski.
Assistant Medical Examiner Mord
for the borough of Richmond, hai
taken charge of the bodies and an au-
topsy will be held.
Captain Van Wagner and several OF
his men were in Elizabethport and
Carteret last night and again today tc
try and find out who the two men are.
A general alarm has been sent out
by the New York police. 1t is be-
lieved that the two men boarded
somewhere in the neighborhood oi
Carteret and that probably a feud
existed between some of their coun-
trymen with the result that murder
was committed. One OF the men was
about thirty years old. Ave feet six
inches tall, weighed 200 pounds, clean
shaven. brown hair and eyes. wore
brown overcoat and suit. grey sweater
and no hat.
Tho other was about thirty-seven
