Assassins Killed by Foes

The two assassins had been brought
from Detroit, Faschetti said, and after
the Brooklyn "job'' returned to that
city, where both subsequently were
killed by enemies of their band
The detective refused to give any de7
tails concerning the third Brooklyn
murder solved, because the slayer.
while identified, is still at liberty.
Bartolo Fontano, the barber, whose
confessions have thrown SO much light
on the Camorra crimes was present at
the conference between Fiaschetti and
Salvage. Later in the afternoon he was
subjected to q severe questioning by
Deputy Assistant District Attorney
John R. Hennis. Fontano appeared to
be unaffected by the ordeal, and Mr..
Hennis admitted he had been unable to
shake the youthful witness in any OF
the details Of his confessions.
After the inquiry Fontano was per-
mitted to talk with two pretty women
who have seen him often since his al
rest.

ranged Camorra killing. 1t was wit

by, who summoned the police The
dead man was forty years old, feet

Two unidentified men attempted
to raid the county jail at Old Town
about 10 o'clock last night, and
shots were exchanged with them
by Jailor Tommy Smith and Abra-
ham Gutierrez, assistant jailer
Following the spirited gun battle,
it was discovered that Alfred
Springer, a nephew of Jesus Ro-
nero, had been hit in the arm and
hip. He said that he heard the fir
ing and came out of pool hall
nearby. The shots that struck him
were fired from the upstairs win
dow Of the Jail, he said. His in
juries are not serious.
Two men were seen to enter the
Jail yard. One hid behind a tree
just out of the jail yard and the
other walked to the door of the
jailers office and rang the bell.
Gutierres, who was sleeping in the
office, answered the ring and as
he opened the door a man stepped
inside and opened fire. He fired
five shots and turned and ran.
Gutierrez fired twice at the flee
ing form.
In the meantime Jailer Smith
had gotten into action from an
upstairs window and opened fire
on the other man who was con-
cealed behind the tree. He said he
believed thSt he had hit him.

office was crowded with persons

drove the flames for the heart of
the city, causing a panic. Four
thousand troops aided the firemen,
but it was only when the wind let
down that their efforts succeeded.

in many sections. Streets were
choked with despairing refugees
from the districts stricken, accom-

ture, the confusion being increased
by sightseers. Many of the half
frozen fugitives bore infants.
