Kinney. a local physician was sum-
moned and dressed the wounds. 1t
was said late yesterday that the

to be sure of the job, it is alleged,
as he returned within a short time
and inquired whether or not the
victim had been kelled. He also
assured Mrs. Borassi, that she was
all right, but that Schiadone was no
good. A young man from the neigh

time, and a little girl, pointing at
Fualo, said: "That's the man that

whose name is withheld for several
reasons, watched the movements of
Fualo for some time, bent in not
letting him escape justice. He was
rewarded by seeing Fualo leave the
store and make for Second street.
