she grabbed one man with each
hand and screamed Mike" Mr..
Casselle ran into the hall and grap-
pied with the taller and huskier
man. The other broke away from
Mrs. Casselle and ran upstairs.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Casselle and his
antagonist fell to the floor and tum-
bled downstairs to the first floor.
Mr.. Casselle's grip on the man was
unbroken, but the stranger managed
to pull gun from his pocket and
threatened to shoot.
Mr.. Casselle grabbed the mans
right wrist and, by exerting all his
strength. twisted it until the gun
was pointing directly at the holder.
If you don't let me go I'll shoot
the man threatened. Michael did
not answer.
The man pulled the trigger and
Mr.. Casselle felt himself being
dragged to the ground by the slump
ing figure to which he still clung.
Police said the man died from
a throat wound from a .38-caliber
automatic.
Mrs. Casselle's screams had sum-
moned Patrolman Philip Farber,
who found a man hiding behind
