BRIDE IS FOUND
SLAIN BESIDE
HUSBAND
Bullet : RiddIed Bodies Of
italian Pair Lying on Bed.
Father Is Sought

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-Carmelio
Geuica, a young Italian, and his
eighteen.year-old bride Of two weeks,
were found riddIed with bullets in
bed in their home at 1913 Mott street
today. Police believe the double
murder was committed on Saturday.
Search is being made for the
girls father, who is missing.
Margaret Gandolfo Geuica was
one Of the bellies of the Italian
colony and her youthful husband
was boarder in her home. Her
mother was dead.
After the marriage a fortnight
ago Giuseppe Gandolfo, the girls
father, went to live with the bride
and groom. Family troubles de.
veloped and the father was ordered
out.
Neighbors told of hearing a VIC.
lent quarrel in the Geuica home
Saturday night, but no shots were
heard. Nor was Giuseppe seen to
leave the house.
The tragedy was discovered when
Thomas Gandolfo went to the Geuica
home to invite the bride and groom
to his own home for dinner. When
no one answered his knock he tried
the door and found it unlocked.
Finding the place apparently
empty Thomas started to investi-
gate. Lying amidst the tumbled
bed coverings were Carmilio and his
young wife, both bodies literally
riddled with bullets. Blood had
soaked through the thick mattress
and dripped upon the floor.

FALL MOVES To
QUASH NEW
OIL PROBE
Ex-Secretary Says Purpose Of
inquiry is Not to Secure
indictments

In a petition filed In the Dis
trict Supreme Court today to quash
the subpoenas of witnesses in the
present oil inquiry, Albert B. Fail,
former Secretary of the, Interior,
made an attempt to stop the new
probe which has been in progress
before the grand jury for nearly
week. Represented by attorneys
Henry A. Wise, of New York, and
Cook & Benemann of this city.
Mr.. Fall alleges that .Atlee Pom.
creme and Owen J. Roberts, special
counsel for the Government. are
abusing the regular process of the
court by summoning witnesses to
testify before the grand jury, on
a Fishing expedition"
A rule signed by Justice. Sid
dons was issued, requiring counsel
Tor the Government to show cause
tomorrow morning why the present
inquiry carried on before the grand
jury should not be stopped.
1t Is the contention of Mr.. Fall
that the gran jury is being used
not for the purpose of securing ad.
ditional indictments but to obtain
evidence to holster up the Gov.
ernment's charges in both the Grim.
lnal cases against Fall and others
In the civil proceedings before
Western courts to recover oil lands.
Mr.. Fall also declares thai during
the session of the grand jury a
stenographer has been present, who
Is not an attorney nor an assistant
to the attorney general. Any in
dictment returned by a grand jury
under these circumstances is not
legal, it is claimed by Fall.
In his petition Mr.. Fall seeks to
DrcVeng following witnesses
from testifying: c. E. Crawley, vice
president of the Sinclair Consoli
dated Oil Corporation; r. w. Stew
art, a director of the Sinclair Crude
Oil Purchasing Company, and A.
E. Humphreys. formerly president
of the Humphreys Mexia Company.
