ploding.

pital for treatment of decorations
and X-rays to determine whether
he had any broken bones.

Shot Down in Bronx
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-A de-
! ported member of the old
Charles Gucky) Luciano vice
mob was shot and killed in gang
land style yesterday a few weeks
after sneaking back into the
country.
The victim, riddled with bull
let's, was Dominick (The Gap)
Pettrilli. about So. Police said
he was narcotics violator de-
ported to Italy six years ago.

man of vice overlord Luciano,

several years ago.

chased by the gunmen who fired
nine shots.
A bartender, Nicholas Mauri-
clio, said Petrilli had come into

en-. chased by the gunmen who

Police said seven of the nine
bullets struck Petrillo. Four hit
him in the head, three in the
body. The two others smacked
into the kitchen walls.
George Tilzer, chief assistant
district attorney in the Bronx,
said he believed the killing was
the result of a grudge some one
had been holding against Pc
trilli since before he was de-
ported
Mr.. Tilzer said he doubted it
had anything to do with efforts
by Petrilli to muscle in on the
narcotics racket. 1T isn't pos
sible," he told newsmen. HE
was here for a short time"
Police said Petrilli entered
the country from a South Amer
ican port six or seven weeks ago.
