Picking
Leads to Staying

Dominick Angelo. an Italian Of Car.
lteret, N. j., was shot and killed about
1870 Sunday night and Petro Amaturo,
80, who owns a farm on the Middle
It wn road, Holmdel township, neaI
Keyport, is charged with the Staying,
being arrested Monday morning by
state troopers who secured the country
before effecting an arrest. Anthony
Oatri, also Of Carteret, was wounded in
the left leg by a bullet and is the Perth
Amboy hospital. Joseph Castore oil
Humbolt street. Brooklyn, was arrested
at midnight at Jersey City, having tax
en- the train at Matawan, and he 10 held
without bail as an eye witness to the
shooting.
The trouble, 1t is said, started with
the picking Of q flower by g little
girl who was with a party Of Italians
from Carteret who had been enjoying
a picnic during the day in o woods
nea Amaturo's place, This was the
story told to Justice Of the Peace Ed
ward J. Currie Of Keyport, who held
the two men for the grand jury Mon
day morning. During the party, it was
said, wine had been consumed to
such an extent that a fight resulted
that brought revolvers into play and
ended in the murder of Angelo.
Another story was to the effect that
the pioneers attempted to purchase
some rhubarb from AmaturO and
when he refused to sell it, went out
and helped themselves. This story,
however, was not told before the JUS
tice, he said.
Amaturo, charged with murGer, was
held without bail for the grand jury
by Justice Currie when arraigned Mon
day morning, after Troopers Hurden,
Simpson, Divers, Goor and VaaKelst,
searched the countryside for the man
thru the night. Hurden effected the
arrest of Alnaturo while Castore was
taken in Jersey City. Amaturo lives
on the same farm where another
Italian shot his wife in a wrangle
four years ago.
According to the police, the shooting
took place when the Italians were crowd
ed around the porch of the Amaturo
farmhouse. All the men were at close
range and when Amaturo pulled his gun
and fred Angelo was killed instantly.
Catri started to run and he was shot in
the left leg. He was removed to the Perth
Amboy hospital by the state police.
Amaturo took his departure immediate
" after the shooting and he was found
in the woods at Port MonmouthaMo n
day morning and brought back to Key
port.
County Detective Jacob b. Rue OF
Red Bank also worked on the case with
the state troopers turnout the night and
a further Investigation is being conduct
ed. The body Of Angelo was removed to

Larrabee Estate
Fees Are Sliced

Compensation allowed an executri K
and her counsel by the Ocean County
Orphans court so large as to make the
two officers legatees of an estate instead
Of mere administrative officials, was
considerably slashed by Vice Ordinar y
Berry in an opinion filed In the Pre-
rogative court at Trenton.
Counselor William l.. Garrison, of At
la ntic City, who was originally given
$4,000, will receive only $4,000 as a re-
suit of the opinion, while Mrs. Hanora
Larrabee, of Lakehurst, instead of $12,
900, will get but $500.
Mrs. Larrabee's husband, Edward
Larrabee, was the executor of the estate
of his brother, Albert 8. Larrabee ,
wealthy Lakewood hotel owner, who
died in 1912. During the progress of set
Ting the estate, the executor himself
died, leaving Mrs Larrabee, his widow,
as his own executor, In the course OF
her duties. she put in a eli im for $12,0 00
for work done by her husband on his
brothers estate. Counselor Garrison
claimed his fee for assistance given Mrs.
Larrabee in settling her husbands ac-
counts as his brothers executor.
The executors fee, received by his
widow, was cut, said the court, IN &C.
cordance with the statutes governing
such allowances. In the case OF Mr.. Gar.

Snake Scourge
InDadeS Town
In Wisconsin

Kohler. VISA st. Patrick is
wanted in Sheboygan county to rid
the community OF a scourge OF
snakes. Vegetables are rotting in
the gardens because the women
fear the resemblance between a
diamond back rattler's tail and the
plant of a radish. Children stay
in the middle of the road when go
ing to school and recess time usu-
ally is spent indoors.
Residents believe that the snak-
es have escaped from the farm OF
DR.. Friedrich Eigenberger, who
has been specializing in pathology,
and an antitoxin for use in treat
ing snake bites. The scientist has
several rattlesnakes and dozen
cotton mouth water moccasins for
experimental purposes.
A protest against the farm, filed
with the conservation commissions
er in Madison, was referred to the
attorney general. who has been I'M
able to find anything in the statutes
regarding the building and maint-
enanee of a snake farm. In case
state authorities take no action,
civil action to have the farm pad
locked as a public nuisance may
result.
