Coroner Truman T. Parker and De-
tective Charles Rock of the police de-
partment on Sunday made vigorous
investigation into the death of Tony
Storino, aged thirty years, residing at
103 North Rowland avenue, who died
as result Of an alleged fall down a
flight of stairs leading to the base
ment Of the saloon of Frank LaLogia,
534 Grand avenue, just before mid
night Saturday night. The man had
slight fracture at the base of the skull
and it was declared that the fracture
had resulted from fall down the
stairs. However, the police arrested
all five men who were in the place
at the time Storino met his death and
they were held in the city lookup pend
ing the investigation Of the case. All
of the men told the same story and
insisted that Storino met his injuries
while making an effort to go to toilet
room in the basement of the building.
Near the place where the police found
the body of Storino they picked up a
pi -ce Of iron bicycle tubing and it was
slightly discolored. 1t was held as
evidence in the investigation into the
case. Portions of hair were found on
the tube, but it had been wrapped up
in the cap worn by Storino and it is
possible that the hair on the tube
had come from the cap. All of the men
connected with the case are pretty we'll
known in the city and it was said that
they had made no effort to leave the
place after the death of Storino.
LaLogia Tells Straight Story.
The men arrested included Frank
LaI.ogia, proprietor of the saloon;
Frank Comerino, Pasquale Tmprozio,
Frank Rizzo and Michael Rizzo. They
were all interviewed by Coroner
Parker and the police officers following
their being brought to the station. La
Logia told the coroner a connected story
of the death of Storino. He said:
"Storino came into the place about
nine o'clock in the evening and he had
smut full. He was jolly and talka-
tive and he wanted something to drink.
/ am planning to get married pretty
soon and as / had some arrangements
to make in connection with that, left
the place in charge of the bartender
and told him to give Tony a Coco
Cola. He gave him one and I went
out and later when came back
found that Tony was decidedly jolly
and he wanted something else to drink.
asked him where he got the liquor
he had been drinking, but he refused
to tell me and passed the matter off
by saying that he had been at "fine
place." / didn't pay much attention to
him after that. The men were there
laughing and talking and there was
no sign Of trouble among them.
Storino did not appear so drunk that
he was bothersome."
Ordered Them All Out.
According to the story told, the five
men had been sitting about table in
the place. at was just after eleven
o'clock that started to close up" con-
tinued LaLogia and l called to them
Come on now and get out The men
started to the door, but Tony called
to me and asked me to wait until he
went to the toilet in the basement. ]
waited for him and he started down
the steps. A minute later we heard
him fall and we went to the basement.
He was lying at the bottom Of the
steps grooming. We picked him up and
put him on an old mattress and he
continued to groan and then he grew
quiet and knew that he was dead and
called the police. l told the men to
wait right there until the police came
to leave the place"
The story Of LaLogia was borne out
by the story told by other members of
the little party who had been in the
place at the time Storino met his fatal
injuries. The fact that he had no
