NEIGHBORS' FEUD ENDS IN MURDER AND SUICIDE
	Mrs. Mary KRIELE was shot and killed yesterday afternoon in the yard of 
her home in Corona by her next door neighbor, Louis ROEDNER, who then 
turned the weapon upon himself and inflicted a wound from which he died 
a few minutes later.  The double tragedy was the culmination of years 
of squabbling and bickering.
	Mrs. KRIELE and ROEDNER had lived in adjoining houses for many years.  
The woman was in her sixty-second year and the man who killed her was 
seventy-one years old.  Their yards were separated by a picket fence 
three feet high.  Neighbors say that yesterday ROEDNER and his neighbor 
were at work in their respective gardens and kept up a running quarrel, 
but no one paid very much attention to them for their long standing 
quarrel was known to all.  There was no eye witness so far as known, to 
the shooting.  One bullet entered the brain and the other penetrated 
the breast.  She died instantly.  ROEDNER died on the way to St. John's 
Hospital.

instantly killed by a cross-town car early last evening.  The child, in 
company with his nurse, was walking along Manhattan avenue, near Milton 
street, when he saw one of his playmates on the other side of the 
street and broke away from his nurse.  He darted directly in front of 
car No. 696[?], Charles MENDRICK, the motorman, had scarcely a second 
to catch sight of the little fellow, but notwithstanding that, his use 
of the emergency brakes prevented more than one wheel passing over the 
lad's body.
	The street was crowded with pedestrians and soon a crowd of at least 
1,000 persons had gathered around the car.  The motorman himself 
superintended the jacking up of the car and the body was taken into the 
drug store of SCHWARTZ Bros.  Dr. SNYDER, of the Eastern District 
Hospital responded to a call and on his arrival pronounced the victim 
dead.  The suffering nurse was pitiful to see, she evidently believing

TAKES LIFE AFTER SHOOTING HIS WIFE
Her Wound Slight; Husband's Body Found Near Stable in Ridgewood
TRAGEDY FOLLOWS QUARREL
WAGNER Driven to Suicide by Belief He Had Slain Wife
	Thinking he had killed his wife, at whom he had fired a shot, 
inflicting a slight wound, John WAGNER, 50 years old, whose home was at 
Covert and Elm avenues, Ridgewood, shot and killed himself early this 
morning.  WAGNER and his wife, Mary, who is 40 years old, had had an 
altercation when WAGNER returned home at midnight drunk.
	Mrs. WAGNER told the police that her husband had removed his shoes and 
was putting on his slippers when the quarrel began.  Without warning of 
any kind the man pulled the revolver from his pocket and fired at his 
wife.
	Mrs. WAGNER fell to the floor.  WAGNER, thinking no doubt that he was a 
murderer, rushed from the house.  Neighbors who heard the sound of the 
firing ran to the WAGNER rooms and found Mrs. WAGNER lying on the 
floor.  She was badly frightened, but not seriously wounded.  The 
bullet had grazed her head, making a slight wound.  Dr. AARONSON came 
in an ambulance from the German Hospital and dressed the wound, but he 
did not think it necessary to take the woman to the hospital and left 
her at her home.
	At 5:45 o'clock this morning the body of WAGNER was found behind a 
stable at Forest and Elm avenues.  There was a bullet wound in his 
right temple.  A .32 calibre revolver lay by his side, the same weapon 
with which he had fired at his wife.
	WAGNER's body was taken to the police station in Glendale, and later 
Coroner NUTT had it removed to SINGER's morgue.
	WAGNER was a plasterer, but had been working unsteadily of late, and 
the police say he had been spending much of his time in saloons.

detected the odor of gas and notified the police.
	When the door was broken open the woman was found lying on the floor in 
a dying condition.  Dr. MURPHY, of St. Mary's Hospital, was summoned, 
but the woman died before his arrival.
	Mrs. PALMER had been ill with an incurable malady for the past year.  
For a week she had been very despondent.  A note was found directed to 
her husband in which she asked him to forgive her.  She said that she 
was sick and tired of life.

4 May 1907
HUSBAND USES RAZOR ON WIFE
She Had Charged Abandonment, But Case Was Dismissed.
WOMAN FATALLY INJURED.
"Cop" in Nightshirt Captures Slasher
A woman, with blood streaming from numerous ugly wounds in her face and 
body, created a panic at Corona about 9 o'clock this morning, as she 
ran through the streets shouting for help.  She fell exhausted near the 
corner of Jackson and Nassau avenues and was carried into a nearby 
drugstore, where she was attended by an ambulance surgeon and removed 
to St. John's Hospital, Long Island City.  Her wounds will probably 
prove fatal.
The woman was Mrs. Lillian V. VISCARDI, of 90 Cleveland avenue, Corona. 
  She had been assaulted by her husband.
In the Long Island City police court yesterday a proceeding for 
abandonment  brought against VISCARDI by his wife, was dismissed, as 
she testified that she would never live with him again.  Another 
proceeding against the woman, instituted by the father of her husband, 
was also heard at the same time and was dismissed.  The complaint 
against Mrs. VISCARDI was for moving back into the house on Cleveland 
avenue her household effects, after they had been put into the street 
by a city marshal as the result of a dispossess proceeding.
	VISCARDI's appearance in the Corona house this morning was a great 
surprise to his wife and her mother, and she had no idea of the real 
object of his presence until he drew a razor and made a dash at her.
	Mrs. VISCARDI screamed and tried to get out of the way, but she was not 
quick enough.  She was slashed upon the face and body several times 
before she finally managed to break from the grasp of her husband and 
reach the street door.  VISCARDI followed her but when he saw his wife 
running toward Jackson avenue he started in the opposite direction.
	Neighbors had heard the woman's cries before she got away from 
VISCARDI.  A policeman named EWERS lives on Grant street, half a block 
away, and some cool-headed resident notified him.  EWERS was in bed, 
asleep, but he did not take time to dress when he heard a woman had 
been murdered, but dashed out in his night clothes and after a chase of 
several blocks, overhauled VISCARDI and quickly subdued him.  VISCARDI 
still held the bloodstained razor in his hand.
	Back of the murderous assault upon the woman is the story of a short 
married life, clouded with trouble almost from the start.  Mrs. 
VISCARDI was married only last June.  Before her marriage she owned a 
prosperous typewriting business in Manhattan.  She is of Irish 
parentage and thrifty, and at the time she promised to be VISCARDI's 
bride had something over $1,000 in bank.  Before her marriage she drew 
the money and gave it to VISCARDI and with it he bought the house at 
No. 90 Cleveland avenue, Corona.  The property was placed in VISCARDI's 
name.
	It developed during the trial of the misdemeanor charge against Mrs. 
VISCARDI yesterday that two weeks after her marriage, VISCARDI 
transferred the property to his father and he proved to be a stern 
landlord.  He brought dispossess proceedings last November and Mrs. 
VISCARDI was put into the street, although the house was practically 
hers, having been bought with her own money.  The fact that her money 
paid for the property resulted in the charge against her being 
dismissed.

KILLED BY GAS ESCAPING FROM KITCHEN STOVE.
Julia E. MURPHY, a widow, 52 years old, of 392  Graham avenue, was 
found dead this morning in the kitchen of her apartments.  Death, which 
apparently was accidental, was caused by illuminating gas, which had 
escaped from a tube connected to the stove.

MRS. FARMER'S SUICIDE DUE TO DAUGHTER'S DEATH.
According to her husband, the suicide of Mrs. Minnie FARMER at her 
home, 545 Hopkinson avenue, yesterday noon, which was reported in The 
Standard Union yesterday, was due to grief over the recent death of her 
4-year-old daughter.  Mrs. FARMER, who was only 28 years old, had two 
other children, who were found asleep on a couch in the parlor.  The 
mother had carefully locked them in the room before taking her own life 
by means of gas in an adjoining room.  The odor of gas was detected by 
Mrs. Rose SILBERSTEIN, who lives on the floor under the FARMER 
apartments, and she notified Patrolman SEARBY, of the Brownsville 
station.  Mrs. FARMER was still alive when the policeman entered the 
rooms, but died before the arrival of an ambulance surgeon.

BROOKLYN MAN KILLS SELF AT PHILADELPHIA
Philadelphia, May 4.--A man supposed to be Charles ORTON, of Brooklyn, 
N.Y., was found asphyxiated this morning at the lodging house of Mrs. 
CLOTHIERS, South Ninth street.  The end of a rubber tube attached to a 
gas jet was found in his mouth.  Papers in his pockets indicated he was 
employed by a publishing concern on Liberty street, New York.  He is 
said to have a brother, Clarence ORTON, at 693 Madison street, Brooklyn.

FAMILY THINK THAT FOSSARD WAS SLAIN.
The family of Dr. George H. FOSSARD, of 1013 Putnam avenue, who died 
this morning, are of the opinion that his death was the result of an 
assault which they allege occurred on the night of April 23.
	The police of the Ralph avenue station, in which precinct the assault 
is said to have occurred, are positive that Mr. FOSSARD's death was due 
to natural causes.  Coroner's Physician WEISS was called in this 
afternoon and began an autopsy to discover the causes leading to 
FOSSARD's death.
	Although the assault is alleged to have taken place on April 23, it was 
  learned that it was not reported to the police until the 28th.  It was 
also ascertained that FOSSARD was able to go to work two days after the 
alleged assault and robbery.  Last Sunday Dr. WEISS, who has been the 
family physician for the FOSSARD's for several years, visited the 
patient at his home, in company with a patrolman from the station 
house, and they declare that they didn't discover any evidence showing 
that an assault had made FOSSARD ill.  His malady appeared to be a 
disordered system.
	FOSSARD leaves a wife and a daughter.  He was an army surgeon for some 
years prior to accepting a position of inspector of customs at the 
Barge Office, Manhattan, which he held up to his death.

old, engineer of the apartment house at 360  West Fifty-eighth street, 
Manhattan, last night began terrifying the inhabitants of the 
neighborhood by a wild rush up and down the street, firing a revolver.  
Policemen BARON and COLLINS were attracted to the scene and tried to 
quiet the crazed man.
	At first, he yielded to their persuasion, but finally resumed his 
outburst.  Things at this point began to get dangerous and the 
officers, to protect themselves, had to fire at MANSFIELD with their 
own weapons.  He was hit by both BARON and COLLINS, one of the shots 
wounding him so severely that he was taken to the Roosevelt Hospital 
where he died within an hour.

street, ran in front of a Hamburg avenue trolley car opposite her home 
yesterday afternoon and was instantly killed.  The child's body was

street station, saved the motorman, James SULLIVAN, from being roughly 
handled by the excited crowd that gathered around the car and created 
at demonstration.
	Minnie, along with half a dozen companions, was playing tag.  The 
children darted from one side of the street to the other and failed to 
heed either the passing wagons or trolley cars.  The Hamburg avenue 
car, bound for Manhattan, came along at a fast clip.  The SEPTMUS girl 
darted from behind a wagon and ran directly in front of the car.  
Before Motorman SULLIVAN could bring his car to a standstill the fender 
struck the child, knocked her down and the front wheels had gone over 
the child's body.
	In a minute the street swarmed with people.  Many threats against the 
motorman were heard.  The more excited  in the crowd accused him of 
running his car too fast.  Policeman CARROLL happened along at the time 
and saved SULLIVAN.  The "cop" sent a hurry call for the reserves to 
the Stagg street station.  Dr. SPECHT arrived in an ambulance from St. 
Catherine's Hospital, but there was nothing for him to do but pronounce 
the child dead.
	When informed of her daughter's death Mrs. SEPTMUS fainted.  She was 
attended by Dr. SPECHT.
	The motorman was arrested and taken to the Stagg street station, 
guarded by the reserves.

merriment by Mr. KEENAN's friends on the lower East Side.  Coming form 
his native place, the County Tyrone, Ireland, at the age of 14, he 
settled in New York.  He obtained a place as a ship plumber's 
apprentice.  Later he became a calker in the shipyards on the East 
Side, and finally branched out with his brother, James, in a saloon 
venture when both were young men.  They opened a place at Avenue C and 
Thirteenth street, but Pat KEENAN soon tired of the liquor business, 
declaring it was not the right sort of work for a young man to stay in.
	Chamberlain KEENAN received a salary from the city of $12,000 a year, 
and much of this he distributed in charity.  Having no relatives to 
care for, and being a bachelor, he had only himself to support, and his 
fortune soon grew into the hundreds of thousands, for he never 
squandered his money. The details of his political career would fill 
several newspapers.  His funeral will be one of the most largely 
attended ever held in New York.

LEAVES HER CHILD TO DIE IN FLAMES.
Little Girl Asleep When Policeman Warns Parent of Danger--Mother Saves 
Second Daughter, But Does Not Discover Absence of Other Until Too 
Late--Charred Body Found in Bed in Eastern District Tenement - Six 
Families Driven Out by Fire --Flames, Starting in Air Shaft, Eat Their 
Way to Living Apartments.
	One life was lot at a fire which broke out this morning in the 
four-story tenement house at 5 Debevoise street.  It was at 9 o'clock 
when the blaze was discovered by Policeman BANNA, of the Clymer street 
station, and two alarms had to be turned in before the flames could be 
controlled.
	The fire started at the bottom of the airshaft and worked upwards to 
the top floor, where Mrs. Jennie NIEDENBERG, with her two little girls, 
Jennie and Dora, live.  Jennie, who was 4 years old, was asleep in bed. 
  Mrs. NIEDENBERG was told by Policeman BANNA to hurry down or she would 
be burned to death, for at that time the flames and smoke were coming 
fiercely out of all the windows on the top floor.  Grabbing Dora and a 
few valuables Mrs. NIEDENBERG hurried down to the street.
	The flames burned for a few minutes longer and then the air was rent 
with the shrieks of Mrs. NIEDENBERG, who, coming to realize the 
situation, was demanding to know where little Jennie was.
	The child was not found with the five other families who had escaped 
from the burning building, and BANNA essayed to go again into the 
smoke-filled structure and search for her.  In the bedroom, on the top 
floor, he found, lying among the badly scorched bed clothes, the 
charred body of the little girl.
	Father HANDEL, the fire chaplain, was on the scene, and told Mrs. 
NIEDENBERG what had become of the child.  The grief of the mother was 
pitiful, but finally she calmed down enough to tell that she had left 
the child asleep while she went on with her housework.  She said that 
she was so excited when she was told to leave the burning building that 
all thoughts of Jennie left her mind.
The five families escaped unhurt.  The damage was estimated at $1,000.

SON FINDS PARENTS SUFFOCATED BY GAS.
Louis SKOPEC, a barber, 51 years old, of 115 Raddle [Raddie?] street,

from gas asphyxiation in a bathroom in the basement of their home this 
morning.  The bodies were found by Otto SKOPEC, the son of the couple.  
Gas was flowing  from a heater, the cock of which was open.  The man 
and woman were lying on the floor of the room.  The son says that his 
parents went to bed at 11 o'clock last night and appeared in their 
usual spirits.  Whether their deaths resulted from an accident or was 
the outcome of a suicide pact is not known, but the police are making 
an investigation.

floor and had sleeping rooms behind the shop.

TWO WOMEN MURDERED IN FAMILY QUARREL
Giovano ZITO Charged With Cutting Throats of Wife and 
Mother-in-Law---Arrested at Scene of Tragedy, in Manhattan Tenement, 
With Hands and Face Covered by Blood---Denies Guilt and Tells Tale of 
Two Mysterious Strangers---Is Accused, However, in Dying Words of One 
of the Victims.
	What is considered one of the most brutal murders that has ever been 
perpetrated on the East Side of Manhattan occurred early this morning 
on the sixth floor of the tenement at 230 Chrystie street.  Giovano 
ZITO, 24 years old, is under arrest charged with having killed his 
wife, Maria, also 24 years old, and Maria TALLTIERETTI, his 
mother-in-law.
	The police found ZITO in the house, his hands and face covered with 
blood.  The body of his wife lay on the threshold of the door, her 
throat cut from ear to ear with a razor.  Mrs. TALLTIERETTI was also 
found cut up in a most brutal manner in the house of her next door 
neighbor, Martini CASSANO.  The floor was a pool of blood and the 
windowpanes, the doors, and almost every object in the room were 
covered with it.
	ZITO married Mrs. TALLTIERETTI's daughter about four years ago, and 
their married life had been marked by quarrels and unpleasantness.  Two 
years before the marriage ZITO had shot his wife, and for this he was 
sent to jail for a year.  When he was released the pair became 
reconciled and subsequently were married.  They went to live with the 
woman's parents at 3 Second street.
	Giuseppi TALLTIERETTI, the girl's father, keeps a fruit stand at Canal 
street and the Bowery.  ZITO refused to work, and several days ago the 
four were dispossessed from their Second street house, and they moved 
to the Chrystie street tenement.
	At 5 o'clock this morning TALLTIERETTI left the house to go to his 
stand.  ZITO had had a quarrel with his wife the night previous, and 
had not been home all night.  About 5:30 o'clock this morning CASSANO, 
who lives next door to the TALLTIERETTIs, heard sounds of a quarrel 
next door, and in another moment his door was opened and Mrs. 
TALLTIERETTI, her face bespattered with blood, stumbled into CASSANO's 
house.
	"My son-in-law kill me, and he kill my girl." she said as she dropped 
dead at CASSANO's feet.
	CASSANO rushed to the street and told Policeman RHENLAND, of the Fifth 
street station, what had happened.  RHENLAND rapped for assistance and 
Policeman DOBBINS responded.  The officers went to the TALLTIERETTI 
apartments and there found ZITO looking at the dead form of his wife, a 
razor lying at her side and another razor at his feet.
	ZITO emphatically denied that he had committed the crime.  He said that 
two strangers had entered the house and had attacked the women.  ZITO 
declared that he had struggled with the men, but they managed to 
escape.  Dr. McRAE, of the Gouverneur Hospital, was summoned.  He said, 
death had been almost instantaneous.
