 Getting out of the earsIthe five New Haveners approaSffea enpvera.s and the others and shook hands. It is said that Mosca asked Luvera How about it?" referring to the bill he har thot he wanted to talk it over. Mosca said, Where? Here or in the woods?" Luvera answered that the woods were good enough for him, someone in the gang suggested that they go to Indian Orchard, a suburb , of Springfield.
 It is. said the New Haven men turned and started toward their car with the intention of getting in with Luvera and going to Indian Or card where they could dicuss the bill owed them. It is alleged by friends here that as soon as they turned their backs they were showered with bullets.
 Charles Chieppio was the first one to be shot, getting a bullet along the waist 'ifne:-~ Harry Coppola was shot in the thumb and then Mosca fell with a bullet in the back of his head and another which encircled his left arm and penetrated his chest, caus- ing a mortal wound. Fred DiAn- tionio was shot, the bullet skinninS his stomach, and Joseph Massetti was seriously wounded in his side. He was later taken to hospital in Hol-- yoke by the men in the party to have his wounds dressed. The others returned to this city late last night.
 According to the story told by Luvera to the Springfield police. he was asked to go to Indian Orchard but declined because of the bad weather. Then, he declares two of the men made a move as if to draw a gun, and having beeen previously warned against the designs of the New Haveners, he took no chances but drew his gun and began firing. The New Haven men quickly rushed for their can and drove off, leaving Mosca lying on the sidewalk. Mos ca died while an ambulance was on it's way to get him and carrying him to the hospital.
 Both Paneretti and Imciametto were arrested with Luvera and held by the Springfield police, the two former men being held on Charges of carrying concealed weapons. A .45 oaliber army automatic was found on the body of Mosca. Luvera has no police record in Springfield. He is married and has two children. He maintains a small notions store there.
 It seems that the New Haven men have been shipping liquor to Spring field at regular intervals. Lately a shipment was not paid for, the con- signee telling the shippers that he would pay the next time. This kept up until the bill amounted to more than $6.000. Saturday, it is alleged Charles Chieppo and Harry Coppola took 40 cases, of liquor to Springfield. When they arrived there d woman told them where to leave the cases saying that her husband would be there in a minute to pay them. While they were busy the 40 cases disap- peared and no trace was found of the husband. The New Haven men had no alternative but to return to this city. .l.sz-.sss.-. q .ss.7-1r rss-~E .ss,
