DeSomma Near Death

DeSomma Near Death
 DeSomma, a World war veteran was near death for four months af- ter the assault. He has now appar- ently recovered completely, however and was to have been a states wit ness had a trial been necessary.
 According to statements offered today the quarrel originated over property and the proceeds of its sale. States Attorney Lawrence l. Lewis said that the difficulties over the property dated back to 1928 when DeSomma was in the insur- ance business and was called to wit ness a deed transferring property owned by Carosella to another per- son.
 Claimed Money Owed Him
 Public Defender w. w. Gager, de- lending Carosella said that his client claimed DeSomma owed him some money from the proceeds of the transaction. He claimed to have demanded an accounting unsuccess- fully. Later he went to California, still nurturing the grudge, and re- turned almost destitute.
 He met DeSomma on Bank street the morning of September IA, and demanded money, and DeSomma gave him 50 cents and started to leave. Carosella pulled his gun and shot DeSomma in the side and the bullet penetrated to the intestines. DeSomma also pulled his gun and fired once, but missed. DeSomma, as a constable, had permit to carry the gun.
 Patrolmen Joseph Dwyer and Pat rick Hughes arrested Carosella on the spot, and hurried DeSomma to St. Mary's hospital, where he re- mained four months.

fore noon hour, following more than two hours of questioning by LieutenantS Shanahan and Bend Ter. The officers said their suspi- cion was directed to him by the completely unbelievable story" told them this morning by a woman tenant of the building. Wilson, who had been previously questioned about the shooting, again denied at first that he had fired the fatal shot. Later, he broke down under questioning. The detectives located the gun at the home of friend of Wilson's, where the colored man had taken it the day after the shooting. The friend had nothing to do with the shooting and knew nothing of Wilson's connection with 1t, said Lieut.. Shanahan.
 Bore Out Theories
 Wilson's story bore out two theo- ries which had been expressed previously of the record" by Lieuts. Shanahan and Bendler One was that the shooting was done from an upstairs window somewhere in the neighborhood The other was that only one shot had been fired, though Mahoney had two wounds. One wound, the fatal one, was caused by the pas sage of the bullet into his back through his body and out through his abdomen. The other wound was on the knee, and Lieut.. Shanahar had expressed the belief that this wound was caused by the same bullet after it had emerged from Mahoney's body, and as he was stopping or running.
 Wilson Describes Trouble

 Would Not Impede

Such an outcome, however, would not necessarily impede the Nazi pro- gram for expansion through central Europe although it might improve efforts of Britain and France to pre- vent Germany's conflict with Czech oslovakia from exploding in war.
 The Paris cabinet kept pressure on the Czechs to make concessions to German minority demands and thus settle their dispute peacefully. The British house of commons ap- proved Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's new treaty of friend ship with Italy despite bitter labor charges that 1t was sellout to the dictators without any guarantee of peace. Boos greeted announcement that Mussolini had given his word iii good faith.

 Hitler's special train, followed by a second train bearing lesser mem- bers of his large encourage, crossed the Brenner Pass, the historic gate way through the Alps between Italy and what is now part of Germany at 7:45 a. m. (2:45 a. m. ED'T) on its way to Bolzano, Verona. Bologna Florence, Arezzo, Chiusi and Rome where it was due at 8:20 p. m. (3.2C D. m., EDT).
 Tangled Situation
 It was eloquent of a tangled Euro pean situation that as Hitler passed through Brenner, Italian labor squads were working hardly out ol sight of the railroad, making this gateway between the nations of the partners in the "axis" impregnable so that any German visitors woulo come only with Italy's approval. The weather was splendid, anc crowds gathered early here along the four mile route from the new Ostis station where Hitler arrives, to the old Quirinal palace where he will bt the guest of King Victor Emmanuel to sleep in the apartments of King Humbert I, who was assassinated ir 1900 by a Paterson, N.
