 "It is all right to kill mel am an old man-but my boys must live; they should not be endangered"
 Toney Ciulla said this yesterday. His home was dynamited about l o'clock Thursday morning. But for two thick mattresses and a pair of springs his two sons, Toney, Jr., aged 19, and Sam, aged II, would have been hurled into eternity.
 Although all of the law enforce ment agencies have looked over the scene and have investigated, no clue has developed to the obvious black hand vengeance attempted on the respected Italian merchant of Ems ley. However, every possible effort IS being put forth to ascertain the identity of those who committed an outrage that has stirred all of Ems ley, and if aperehended fears ars entertained for their orderly trial in court.
 Ciulla is one of the best known and most peaceable Italians in this sec ion. He has been in America SI years and during that time he has not thrived as other of his countrymen. His only possessions are his boys and girls and the little combination store and home at Avenue H and Fifteenth streer.

LODGED IN JAIL ON
 MURDER CHARGE
Alleged Slayer of James Mo- DoWeII Brought Here From
 Cincinnati

Charlie Studemeyer, negro. want ed here for the murder of James Me- Dowell, who Vas shot and killed May 25, 1920, at the plant of the Chero- Cola Bottling company, on Avenue E and Twenty fourth street, by City Detectives Brannon and Lyons.
 He was lodged in the county jail. where he will be held pending his trial on a charge of murder in the first degree. Studemeyer was ar rested in Cincinnati several days ago on instructions from local officers who have been looking for the ne- gro since he made his escape imme- diately following the shooting more than a year ago.
 MT. Mcdowell was shot three times, it is alleged by the negro, twice in the neck and once in the head just between the eyes. The cause of the trouble was never learned as no one was in the room at the time of the shooting, but it is believed to have arisen over the fact that Stude- meyer. who had formerly worked at the Chero-Cola plant, had been dis charged that morning.
 Following the shooting Studemeyer was indicted by the Jefferson county grand jury and deputy sheriff from the office of Sheriff J. c. Hartsfield made a trip to Cincinnati several months ago, it is stated, when in formation was received from the Ohio city that Studeneyer had been ap- Lrehended.
