Find Thousands of
Dead Fish on Coast


Kingston, N. Thousands Of dead
fish were washed up on the North Caro-
lima coast recently. Coast residents
have not determined the cause.
One opinion is that poison gas left
over from the world war was dumped
into the ocean off neighboring port,
another that some ocean bottom phe-
nomenon occurred by which the oxy-
gen was removed from the water
and the thousands of fish in the af-
fected area were drowned"
The numbers were too great to per-
nit of entertainment of theory that
interruptions fishermen dynamited the
fish, finding that they had slain more
than they could handle
Magistrate Kenneth F. Foscue, of
this city, saw the beach lined with the
fish between New River inlet and
Bogue sound. Large dog sharks were
numerous, Foscue said, while he--saw
one alligator in the shoal waters. Even
crocodile came ashore. Where the
crocodile could have come from was
complete mystery. The species is
entirely foreign to the region.

Cerminaria. Gallo and Cerminaria had
met on the street and without word
Gallo drew a revolver and began shoot
ingS Cerminaria fell at the first shot
the bullet passing through his lung.
He died the following day at the Keno
sha hospital after he had made state
ment duplicating Gallo, After Cermi-
mario fell, Gallo continued shooting.
Peter Gallo and Charles R.zzo, who
were with Oerminaria at TT time of
the shooting, had narrow escapes from
death.
The defense of Gallo was that he
labored under delusion that he was
in danger. "Instant fear" of death was
argued to the jury in the defense of
the man. Gallo in his own story at
the trial declared that he had for some
time lived in dire fear that Cerminaria
would kill him. Some weeks before the
murder Gallo had received letter
from Italy, which was declared to have
reflected upon the character of the
wife Of the man he killed. He told
Cerminaria about this letter when they
met in Main street saloon and it was
his claim that Cerminaria had set upon
him and had stabbed him three times
with a knife.
Gallo declared that when he came
upon Cerminaria on the night of the
shooting he was in instant fear that
the stabbling would be repeated and
that with view of soaring Cerminaria
and the members of his party he drew
his revolver and started firing. Gallo
declared, that his hand shook so that
he could not prevent the revolver being
discharged at Cerminaria.
Witnesses Deny Provecation.
\ Many witnesses called at the trial
declared that there had been no provo
cation for the shooting and this fact
was not denied by the defense, but the
theory of "instant fear"<was urged.
Gallo had been resident Of Kenosha
for some time before the shooting and
had borne good reputation. He has
been model prisoner since he was
sentenced to the state prison and it is
understood that the prison officials will
not i'll any way oppose the pardon. AS
the man was sentenced for life, the
officials informally held that he should
wait sixteen years before making the
application for pardon or parole.
