Believed Part of
Gang Warfare

Boston, July 20-(AP)-The muir
der of Carminio d'Argenio. in West
End poolroom here tonight, was
thought by the police to be an out
cropping of gang warfare similar to
that which ended a year ago after
nearly a dozen men had been shot.
D'Argenio and a friend were alone
in the Knickerbocker Pool Room. A
third man entered the door and after
watching the game for a time, sud-
denly whipped a revolver from his
pocket and fired three times. One
shot entered DArgenio's back.
The gunman vanished. DArgenio
walked out of the poolroom leaning
on the arm of his friend. About a
block down the street they entered
barber shop where the friend left
him. He died on the way to the
hospital. The police have been un-
able to identify either the friend or
the gunman.
