1 SCHANK & SPENCER
HIS HEAD NEARLY
SEVERED FROM BODY
JOSEPH SANTOBO OF OLD FORGE
FOULLY MUBDERED.
Raphael Pascere, of Spring Brook,
Believed to Bo the Murderer Was
Committed on Railroad Tracks
Near the Lackawanna Station of
tho Bloomsburg Road Three
Small Boys Were Eyo Witnesses.
The Murderer Threw the Ax Into
the River, and Has Escaped.
A murder ot the blackest tvpe was
committed between 10 and 10 30 o'clock
yesterday forenoon In the lower sec
tion of Old Forgo tovvnehlp. Up to
midnight tho murderer had not been
captured. Joseph Snntoro, teacher of
the Kins Humbert ltnllnn band, of Old
Forge, was almost decapitated nv lth an
ax. Raphael Pascere ,of Spring1 Hrook,
Is supposed to be tho murderer. Jeal
ousy Is given as the cause of the
crime.
It was a murder most hideous In lta
cold-blooded and deliberate execution.
The two men had been walking to
gether for two miles or more, and as
they were nbout to separate, Pascere
stepped behind Santoro and sunk the
ax twice Into tho back ot the head,
cleaving the skull In a sepnrnte place
with each blow. Hither blow would
have caused death. There were two
deep flesh wounds In the man's back
In tho region of tho shoulder muscles.
Not content with that much done the
murdeier caught the head of his vic
tim after ho lay stretched on the
ground nnd hacked at his neck until
the spinal column was severed at the
vertebra known aa the atlas that slip
poits the head. The ax sunk Into the
neck ho far that there was nothing
holding the head to the body but tho
fiont muscular tissue of the tin oat.
The scene of this bloody tragedy was
on the north-bound track of tho
Bloomsburg division of the Delaware,
Lackawanna nnd Western road, ono
hundred and fifty yards north of Lack
awanna etatlon. Though It was In
broad daylight, no eye witnesses wero
near, except a few bojs.
WAS NOT IN A HURRY.
As Santoro fell he lay crosswise, face
downward on the track. Pascere, so
the boys who saw the crime said, was
not In a hurry leaving. He etood for
sevetal seconds viewing his carnage
and walked at a lapld gait up the rail
road. His hands were smeared with
blood, and the ax was dripping with
it. They watchedjilm until ho reached
the curve In the road.
Then he looked back nnd walked to
ward the liver. He made a move such
as If ho weie thiowlng the ax far out
into the stieam, and next ho stooped
down to cover his hands with culm or
dirt to hide the blood on them. Ono
of tho boj. Homer Davenport, who
lives near the station, was sure that
the man wrapped the ax In a red hand
kerchief when ho walked away ftom
the dead man.
As far as could be learned these boys,
three in number, were the only ones
who taw tho crime. The names of the
other two arc Ernest Richardson and
William Davis. They were Bitting on
the bank thirty feet above the railroad
tiacks. There was very little time for
them to observe many of the details.
The muidercr had stepped behind I1I3
victim to deliver the blow before the
boys took notice of them. It was a
ftw minutes before train time, and six
or seven passengers were at Lacka
wanna station, but they were either in
the waiting loom or on the other side
of the station out of the sun. The bojs
were too thrilled with hoiror to make
an outcry until P.reere was out of
Jlfc'ht.
When they did attract attention it
was to bring a man passing in a car
riage alone the main road out of his
chicle to lemove the bodv from the
track out of the way of the passenger
train which bounded along a few min
utes later.
NO NL'KD Or A DOCTOR.
Justice of the Peace Brodhead's office
Is a few hundred jaids from the cross
ing. He was notified, and about the
time he got toward the scene of the
crime, Dr. Stegner, of Rendham, hap
pened to be passing. The doctor got
out of his carriage and went down the
track to examine the body. Life had
passed out almost Instantly after the
blows were delivered, and there was
no need for his services.
All these occurrences consumed a
half hour's time, and gave the mur
derer an opportunity to make quick
steps for a hiding place.
Santoro had many friends in Old
Forge, and w hen the new s spread they
began to bearch for the murderer. This
was a very difficult task. The three
boys who saw the crime did not know
the man. Thev described him as hav
ing on a light colored coat and a small
brow n hat.
Santoro boarded with Joseph Cer
undo, who lives on a side stieet Intel -sectlng
the main road about 200 jaids
below the Old Forge high school. The
first step taken by the pursuers was to
go to the boarding house and ascertain
If possible with whom the murdered
man had been. Mrs. Cerundo could
give them no further Information than
that Santoro left nbout 6 o'clock In the
morning to go to the Spilng Urook for
a bath, as had been his custom nearly
every morning since summer set In.
Santoro was a fine muslclnn, and was
reputed to be a composer of bond
music. He taught music arouna Old
Forge and Lackawanna, and was pos
sessed of consldeiable leisure time
Antonio Blancardo, a barber, and
Michael Inglese, both members of the
Humbert band, were the ones who set
out to fasten the crime on the perpe
trator. Blancardo knew that Santoro
was In the habit of going toward where
Pascere lives, and he and Inglese start
ed for Pascerq's house. Pascere lives
along the Spring Biook a mile or more
above the Mooslc Powder mills, He
worked for the Spring Brook Water
Supply company.
MRS. PASCERC CRIED.
When they got to his house it was 1
o'clock. Mrs. Pasceie met them at tho
gate. They asked her if her husband
was home. She asked them what they
wanted to know for, and she began to
tremble like one stricken with ague
and to cry aloud.
Hlunetmlo asked her when Bhe saw
Santoro. She said he called at the

house that morning. He told her San
toro had been killed by somebody.
That made her cry still more, and she
would not answer any questions after
that.
They went then to the gang with
which Pascere was employed digging
trenches, and wore Informed that he
wns not at work at all that day. An
Italian man on tho gang told them ho
saw Pascere with un ax In the morn
ing, and saw him put It under his coat.
The ns wns nbout the size of it toma
hawk. This man told them ho saw
Pascere and Santoro together not long
utter that.
Other parties staitcd out in the af
ternoon to discover the murderer and
they secured evidence that seems to
point to Pascere's guilt. A search of
his house, nnd at every place he would
ordinarily be showed that he htd tak
en I1I3 departure. The white coat
seen by the boys fitted tho description
of the one he worn, nnd alRO the hut.
It was generally understood among
the friends of Pasreio and Santoro
that the former was fiercely jealous.
Hantoro and Mrs. Pascere came from a
small town called Iteonoro In Italy.
Her brother lives In Old Frpe. The
three of them were nil In this part
of the state w ho came from that place,
and consequently were on very friend
ly terms. Santoro lived next door to
her folks In Italy. He offered that a-t
an explanation of his frequent visits
to her home. She used to come over
to see her brother quite often nnd that
brought Santoro Into her company so
much oftencr.
REPUTATION HOOD.
Whether Pasceie had any ground for
his suspicions or not, Santoro had th-J
reputation of being a man of good
character and law abiding qualities.
Ho ,vas of a sociable and entertaining
dlsprsltlon, and was much in demand
nt dances and fetes among the Ital
ians. Still it wns no secret that his
friendship for Mrs. Pasceie angered
her husband to a high pitch.
Sintoro, it was learned, went to the
Spring Brook nnd had his bath, lit
then went to Pasccres house. Pascere
was not at woik. Santoro was receiv
ed In an apparently friendly manner
Ho stayed nn hour or so. Somewhere
about 9 o'clock ho left for home. Pas
ceie said he had business over to Old
Forge nnd they walked along together.
Tho distance from his home to the
spot whore he wielded the ax is neaily
three miles of a walk.
Pascere Is of medium build, weighs
160 pounds, has a broad face, small
nose, dark moustache nnd small eves.
The back of his neck i scarred where
he vij severely burned when he was
a child. He Is about 35 ears old.
Santoro wns 40 jears old. He leaves
a wife nnd two children In Italy. He
came to Old Forge to take charge of
tha band eighteen months ago from
Bangoi, Pa.
Coioner Longstreet conducted a post
mortem examination and leniovod tho
skull for evidence. He will hold an In
quest next Monday evening at the
court house.

cratic county convention will be called

Mr. Barker objected to Clause 7. Ho
contended that many applications or
nppcintments as tencheis arc lcelved
from persons, most of them from large
cities, who are perfectly qualified
though they have had but a few years'
experience. Mr. Baikcr referred to
some teachers who were teaching with

soever. President Francois asked Air.
Barker If the latter had been under
stood right. Mr. Barker replied affirm
atively but qualified his statement by
nddlng that he was quite certain he
was correct In his statement.
Mr. May objected to Clause S. Su-
rerlntendent Howell, at whoso sugges
tion the clause was Inserted, was sum
moned from his office nnd said tho
rule was neccssnry Inasmuch as a pu
pil who failed to pass from a grado
after two' vrars study showed a lack
of capacity requiring special provision.
THE EXPLANATION.
Mr. May a.sked why such pupils
wero not expelled. Superintendent
Howell explained that the law would
not rermlt nor would It be right to
remove a pupil for lack of mental
pow er.
On motion of Mr. Jennings Clause

f.tctl'tn with actien taken In reference

report of this matter at the
next meeting of tho board."
The leport was adopted.

Mr. Davis offered a motion and Mr.
Phillips seconded It that new appli
cants for positions as teachers In the

of High school teachers was re-ap-pointed
at a previous meeting.
