He had been a resident of that town for twenty-five years and was well-to- do. He had amassed a comfortable fortune, and the fact that many of his countrymen were indebted to him for loans gives rise to the sus picion that there was a plot back of his murder. The murderer's name is Autrelo Moravi, an Italian who has been in this country only a couple of months. Moravi, with two fellow countrymen, Louis Ferrari and Joe Lauon, were in Delago s place playing pool. A dispute arose and Delago went to separate the men, when quick au a flash Moravi drew a stiletto and struck Delago in the neck, the blade penetrating the jugu'ar win, and then before the victim could turn around, thrust the weapon into his groin and sev ered the semoral artery. Delago stepped backward and fell and died in a few minutes. Moravi ran from the building and boarded a Shamo kin and Edgewood car and after riding a few squares jumped off and ot on a Mt. Carinelcar. The pa- lice were promptly notified. Two of the State constabulary hastened to Mt. Carmel and found Moravi standing at a bar drinking. When he learned that the officers were the State constabulary he gave himself up. His hands and clothes were covered with blood even the mon ey in his trousers pocket was cov ered with blood He was taken back to Shamokin Saturday for a hearing, and held for court without bail. His two companions are in custody and will beheld as witness es and possibly accomplices in the crime. Both refuse to talk. There is a growing feeling that the mur der is a Black Haud plot and that Moravi was brought over to do the job. Continued on a ye 8. been among the best ever present- 1 ed here.
