(Continued From Page One.o
 The Cuono woman alarmed the neighborhood, and in a few moments was taken to police headquarters. Ac- cording to her first story, she receiv- ed a wound while grappling with one of the killers. The police are not inclined to believe this because of the fact that she was unable to de- scribe the men who did the shooting
 The police are now working on the theory that the murder may have been committed by some of Larnon- ica's wife's relatives out of a spirit of revenge. It is thought that the men who killed Lamoniea last night also intended to kill the Cuorno wom- an at the same time
 The woman claimed last night that she was Mrs Lanonica, but this was denied by the police. The murdes victim seemed to be always plentiful fy supplied with money although he never worked anywhere in Bridge port
 Annie Cuono alias tfMarsiaIla,' g alias 'tGoId-Tooth Annie,'' is well known to the police as the proprie- ress of the Roma restaurant at 457 Water street The place has had a shady reputation for years, and OH 1IlOIS li1dll O1lG OCCd51On ndS De6D raided as a house of i'll fame. No official record of the woman's arrest can be found at police headquarters.
 The man and woman owned the house at 656 Beachmont avenue where the murder was committed.
 That Lamonica, the woman who claims to be his wife or the Roma restaurant was in any way connected with the murder of Jennie Cavalieri which occurred near Peck's Mil bridge in Stratford, in 1912, was ab. solutely denied by the police thi. morning.
 Medical Examiner Dr. Samuel M Garlick performed an autopsy or Lamonica's body this morning, ant | found that the man had a wound il 1 the chest. in the left arm and thre, in the back. Coroner John J. Phela1 I will hear the Cuomo woman's stor7 | of the shooting sometime today.

The Aberdeen Experiment.

Those of us who saw, with delight
the organized community spirit that
existed everywhere in America during
the war. will watch with interest the
efforts of the people of Aberdeen
Wash, to continue the community eff
fort for their own benefit-and their
neighbors benefit.
When the nation was at war, we all
contributed money, labor, material
brains and our time to the general
welfare. Came the armistice and we
almost instantly relaxed into the old
spirit of selfshness of "let-somebody-
else-do-itness." Thus the most pre-
cious asset of the war was allowed to
go by the board
But not in Aberdeen.
Aberdeen is lumber town of about
10000 people. 1t has it's labor unions,
chamber of commerce, civic organiza-
tions, church societies-all much the
same as in Albuquerque. But this is
what they have agreed to do for home
service, in peace times
"Organized labor undertakes to sup
port the social services of the commu-
nifty on the understanding that organ
lied business will look out for the
general prosperity"
Briefly and generally, the wage
earning citizens of Aberdeen will raise
the funds to support visiting nurses
organization, to take care of the public
health, provide public recreation and
to look after boys clubs, girls clubs
and other community affairs that make
for better, more contented living. The
Chamber of Commerce and the bust
ness men will see to matters of harbor
improvements. bringing in new indus
tries, the extension of the towns
business and care for all affairs that
will tend to keep the workers busy and
drawing wages regularly
At first blush, this arrangement will
look like division of the towns peo-
pie into classes. But Aberdeen denies
that that's what it means. The spon-
