FIND SECOND GUN
IN FEUD SHOOTING
Gun is Found Concealed in Clump of Weeds In
an Alley Two Blocks from the Scene
of the Shooting.
POLICE SAY JUST A PLANT
Police Declare That Sam MongvaIlano Has the Key to
the Mystery - Iaquinta Continues to I'M
prove at Local Hospital

Interest in the investigation into the
alleged feud shooting which put Frank
laquinta into hospital with a batch
of buckshot in his body, was more in
teresting today, following the finding of
a second shotgun out on the west side
which is said to have possibly been
connected with the shooting. The shot
gun was found in an alley between
Newell street and Rowland avenue and
sixty feet east of the Newell street
entrance. Like the other shotgun in
the hands of the police, it had one
empty barrel. The gun was almost
identical with the one taken by the
police following the shooting of Frank
Iaquinta last Wednesday night.
The gun was found by two boys,
Henry Elenewski, aged II years and
residing at so South Newell street, and
Myron Pucci, aged years, who resides
at 974 Garden street. The father Of
one of the boys reported the finding of
the gun to the police and turned it over
to Detectives Rock and Breidt later.
The gun was found just after $50
o'clock. The spot where it was found
is two blocks from the scene of the
shooting. The barrel of the gun was
sufficiently rusty to indicate that it
might have been laying in the weeds
for some time.
Police officers Say "Plant."
The members Of the detective force
who have been working on the Iaquinta
case, promptly declared that they be-
lieved the finding Of this second shot
gun was "plant" to further confuse
them in the search for facts in regard
to the shooting. "It may be that this
was the gun used by the man who shot
Iaquinta," said one of the detectives,
"but it is funny that no one happened
to see it, before last night. True
enough, only one shell had been fired
in the gun and it was found by couple
Of boys, but just the same we are
skeptical"
The detectives declare that there is
general covering up of everything
which might lead to solution of the
shooting mystery and that develop
ments have been coming very slowly.
The boys who found the gun were
questioned by the police but they were
not able to give any information which
was regarded of any value.
Two Suspects Released.
Two of the men who had been held
in connection with the investigation of
the case were released on Friday even
ing. These men made statements to
the police and the district attorney,
but the statements were not made
public. "These men were held only as
witnesses" said one of the members of
the detective force, sand there is no
idea that either of them fired the buck
shot into Iaquinta. Their statements
did not Indicate that they had any
great amount of information. Certainly
they did not show any special desire
to give up this information if they had
it. We believe that they can be found
any time We want them"
Sam Mongvallano is still being held
and it was said that no plans had as
yet been made for a hearing for him.
He is held on charge of attempted
murder. He has made no further
statement to the officers but the de-
tectives declare that information Sc
cured in regard to him indicates that
he has been connected with trail of
shootings," some of which have re-
suited in fatalities,
The police have secured no informa-
