 ApfeceIa has been in the limelight frequently during the past two years his hotel was twice bombed by enc mics, as result. it is believed, of dis agreements on the sake of liquor. A year ago four shots were fired at him in his hotel and another attempt was made later to kill him. Not long ago he received Black Hand threats, but none of these attempts were ever re- ported to the police and no arrests made. Aptcella was prosecuted sev- era1 months ago as a chronic criminal and promised to go out of business. All of those concerned in last nights shooting are well known to the police
 Coroner Phelan is expected here this afternoon to hold an inquest in the case, after which Serene, who is held for first degree murder, will be arraiend
