M0CCIO HELD
 FOR TRIAL ON
 KNAPP'S DEATH

In the City Court this morning Judge Bartlett held Antonio Moccir the poolroom proprietor, charged with the dea,h of William Knapp, term of court in bonds of $500. The decision of the court was handed down after Coroner John J. Phelan had made his return of the hearing. gully Of gross and criminal care- lessness in handling a loaded gun.
 William Knapp died of hemorrhages following the receipt of gunshot wound in Moccio's pool room at STA Hallet street on the evening of Oct. 2s. It appears from the coroner's findings that the Moccio resort was regular hangout for Knapp and oth :, CTS of his friends; that all of these boys were on very friendly terms with Moccio, who served coffee and doughnuts each evening to the boys for a lunch; that there was no evil dence to the contrary that the dead boy and Moccio were good friends at all times; that after young Knapp had started across the street with his friends ostensibly to go home, he told them that he was going to havs some som run with Tony and "pulf a hard luck story on him.
 Following this idea he turned up his coat collar and pulled his hat low oyer his eyes before going into the place where Tony was behind the SOoiiteA. Almost a1Cef n6 commenced to talk Tony said to him:
 You get out with your hard luck story, and picked up a shot gun standing behind the counter, pointed It in playful manner at Knapp. The gun was discharged and Knapp fell to the floor mortally wounded, crying out to the boys. "I knew he would do it," meaning that Tony would take his end of the joke and try to chase him out
 It seems that after the boys had hnr l-1 n r-s n c to go hunting on the following morn Ing and had placed shell in the gun, a single barrellSd affair. The sudden reappearance of Knapp and his per petration of the joke apparently caus- ed him to forget the shell and to his horror he had killed his friend.

 was said by neighbors this morning that the dead woman's husband had visited her on numerous occasions at the Bostwick avenue place and they had lived there together at one time. Ne!ghbors say that the woman seemed to have her share of domestic trou- bles, one of her chief complaints be- ing her husband would not properly support her and give her any new clothes. It was learned that her hus- band recently sold a farm in Fairfield and refused to turn over any of the proceeds of the same to supporting her.
 The records at the county court house show that Mr. and Mrs. La poczka were married on February 1 8, 1918. On August A, 1920, the hus- band entered a suit for divorce, charg- ing his wife with adultery with Mike Canyu, Andrew Kowski and others. The divorce was granted last Septem- Der.
 McGovern who is being held by the police in connection with the alleged murder of the woman is widower his wife having died about year ago. Since that time he has been 1iv- ng alone at 59 Cherry street. He is the father of two children who are at present in St. Francis Asylum in New Haven. He also has a mother said to be living in New Haven. He has admitted that the Lapoczka wo-
 man visited him at his home on
 Cherry street. She was employed at
 the Graphophone company's plant and McGovern was a Steamfitter by trade. An invest1ga ton by the police | made at the McGovern home failed to reveal any traces of a struggle there being no blood stains which | would result if the woman had been struck by McGovern. The house it.
 self was in bad condition. A line Tn one of the rooms showed thac q U hII1cr la
 among the articles having been washed was bed counterpane which
 showed no blood stains. McGovern
 lived upstairs over the New York
 Dyelng and Cleaning factory. 1 The workers of the plant this morning said they seldom saw Mo
 Govern around the place as they were
 generally closed up when he got in
 from work. The owner of the place | said he knew little of McGovern but
 that he paid his rent regularly. The l chlef point of mystery in the case which the police are working on a | present is to try and establish where | the woman was between Monday night
 at o'clock and Tuesday night at 1O | o'clock when according to McGovern l she came to his home in badly
 beaten condition and told him The l got me-. McGovern could not give
 the police any help in who the They | were. He denies any improper rela- | tions with the woman The one~eyi- dence of blood in the house was found l in a bowl.
 l McGovern admitted that he drank with the woman at different times but i that she rarely ever got under the in- | f1uence. The divorced hsband of the l woman who is his second wife, has l four grown up children in New York After being quizzed by the police this morning he was turned loose and was
 not held, he denying all knowledge oi 1 the affair.
