FRANK IAQUINTO
SENT BACK HOME
Ordered Deported After
Serving Time for At
empted Murder.
RECALLS OLD FEuDS
The Imprisonment of Iaquinto
Broke Up Long Feud in
Kenosha in 1922.

Frank Iaquinto, former Kenoshan.
whose most recent address was Con-
Wet No. 15,S4S, Wisconsin State Pri-
son, Waupun, is now on his way to-
Italy with United States Department
of Labor official as an escort. He was
ordered deported by immigration SER
vice officials from Washington upon
his release from Waupun where he
had served term of three years on
a charge of attempted murder.
The deportation proceedings were
ordered from Washington following
an investigation which revealed to
these officials that Iaquinto had at one
time made threats against the Judge
that sentenced him and also to the
attorneys who defended and prosecut-
ed him at the time of his trial here
in 1922. The federal complaint mere
" branded Iaquinto, the former Ke-
noshan, as undesirable for citizen
ship and he was taken to Italy.
Recalls Old Feud Here.
The conviction of Iaquinto in Ke-
nosha in July of 1922, ended in feud
of long standing here. 1t is recalled
t4laC WACu1n a HuOIt pGIlOQ IueIC Mdu
been several shootings within q space
of several blocks on the west side of
the city and invariably all of these
ended up in mystery until police finals
ly secured evidence TO convict
4aquinto.
Iaquinto was arrested on the night
of Sunday, July Is. 1922, at the North
western station by Otfieers Frank,
Schneeberger, Lawrence Bauschelt,
and Detective John Breidt, as Icquinto
was about to hoard train. The police
had been looking for him for eight
months in vain. When Iaqninto was
searched he was found to carry an
automatic revolver loaded with 80
rounds of ammunition.
Charged With Shooting.
Iaquinto had been sought in connec-
tion with the shooting on the night Of
November ~, 1921, of Frank Chap
petit. Previous to that, on September
2, 1921, Frank Iaquinto and John
Klous were shot from ambush at the
corner Of Rowland avenue and Garden
street. A shotgun was used. The
police believed at the time that the
bullets were intended for Iaquinto and
not for Klous. On October 20, 1921,
Klous attempted to commit suicide.
Then~came rapid series of events
which plunged the entire city into a
deep mystery. On Sunday noon, Mo-
vember 81, 1921, the second shooting
affair took place at the corner of
Rowland avenue and Pearl street.
Frank Chiappetti was shot and
wounded during the time that fusil-
lade of shots was being exchanged be-
tween himself, friend, and two
others, believed by. the police to have
been Frank Iaquinto and Tom Iaquin-
to. Chiappetti recovered. The police
failed to apprehend both.
Finally Kill One.
The following Tuesday night, No
vemher 20, 1921, Frank Taquinto, a
cousin Of Iaquinto who was being
sought, was shot and killed at the
corner of Rowland avenue and Garden
street. At the time of the killing
Frank Chiappeti, the victim of the
Sunday shooting was recovering from
the effects of the wounds at the Ke-
nosha hospital. Lawrence Vetere was
later arrested and charged with aiding
and abetting the murder, but was dis
charged at the preliminary hearing
before Judge James Tully, December
%, 1921, the evidence being held i'm
sufficient.
Eight months later Frank Iaquinto
was arrested at the Northwestern sta
ton as detailed above and held for
trial. A jury convicted him and he
was given sentence Of three years at
Waupun. According to Warden Oscar
Lee, of the state prison, Iaquinto was
released from Waupun on reduction of
time Ga July 80, 1925, and was taken
in custody immediately by an officer
from the United States Department of
Labor, immigration service, and de-
portation proceedings were then
started ending today in his departure
from America. Since that time the
feudists have evidently buried the
h;tehet in Kenosha and no trouble
was experienced until the death of
Henry Chiappetti in his saloon on
Pearl street last month. Police are
still seeking Frank Cisto, believed to
have been Ghiappetti's assailapt.
