it THE SCRANTON- TRIBONE-WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 1902. STRIKER DIES BY A BULLET 'nnv vnnnn ncit TTTV. LIAM A. COLLIERY. Supposed He Was Shot by Guards At the Colliery Companion Who Was with Him at the Tlmo the Killing Runs Away and Says Nothing of the Tragedy Until the Next Morning Sheriff's Posse Necessary to Restrain tho Infuriated Frlendii if the Victim.

LulgRl Vlnnzzn, striker, wns found iSend Just outside the stockade surrounding the William A. colliery nt Iackawanna crtrly yesterday morning. It Is supposed lie was shot by a guard nt the colliery, but, as yet, the authorities have been unable to make of this anything more than a supposition. A pecullnr feature of tho affair Is that tho dead man's chum, Clulseppo Betetto, who was with him when the nhootlng occurred, and whose hat was pierced by a bulet, went homo and lo bed without saying anything to any one concerning the tragedy. Ho offers no reasonable explanation of his strange conduct.

The guards at tho colliery deny having done the shooting nnd declare they heard no shots during the night. Persons living In the vicinity declare they heard several pistol phots and one rifle shot at about the time, Betetto says the killing occurred. 38-callbre revolver containing five empty shells was found on the person of the dead man. The body was found at 7 o'clock by Superintendent Hale of the William A. colliery, as he was on his way to work.

He telephoned to the company's attorneys, Wlllard, Warren and Knapp, nnd they In turn Informed the coroner and aherlff. OFFICERS AT THE SCENE. Coroner Snltry, Sheriff Schndt, District Attorney Lewis and County Phillips hustened to the scene. The sheriff went down on a Lackawanna special accompanied by a number of deputies. An immense crowd ot excited people surrounded the body and until the arrival of the sheriff there W03 danger of an assault on the colliery guards by the countrymen of the victim.

Mr. O'Mulley, of the firm of Wlllard, Warren and Knapp and Joseph O'Brien, of O'Brien and Martin, attorneys for the company, were early on the scene. '-JTho crowd was dispersed and the cjjiinty officials returned to this "city, bringing along the body and Betetto. District Attorney Lewis with the aid of the Italian consul, Mr. subjected Betetto to a searching examination.

"He told that he and Vinazza were of the same age, 27 years, and chums since boyhood. They came from Italy to this country, April 24 last, and located In Connellton. Both worked in the William A. colliery before tho strike. Monday tilcy were in Scranton and visited several saloons.

In the evening they went to visit a friend on Bellevuo heights. About 10 o'clock they took a car for home and got off nt Mudtown, intending to walk the rest of the way eo as to save the additional fare. VINAZZA SHOT. Their route to their boarding house In Connellloii took them past the William A. colliery.

Just as they turned the corner of the stockade shots were fired and Vlnazza fell. Betetto bent low and ran away. When he came to "examine his hat ho found tho front rim torn diagonally from the band to tho edge by a bullet. He whs badly frightened and dazed nnd hastened home and to bed. He did not tell his boarding boss, he said, because he did not.

know lilm very well. Coroner Saltry and ex-Coroner S. P. Longstreet performed an autopsy on the body at Cuslck's undertaking establishment. Dr.

W. K. Dolau was present as the representative of tho rompany's attorneys. Three hours were spent In ian unsuccessful search for the bullet. The Indications are that tho ball entered the head behind the right ear and took an upward course to the fore-Uiead.

The frontal bone was fractured, but the skin covering It was not broken. Lacerations and hemorrhages of tlfe brain showed that a bullet had coursed through it. When tho doctors found a hole In tho 1 1 (W I Special Attractions I LUU IV. For This Week.

si back of the head nnd felt the fracture of the skull at tho forehead they thought they would have no difficulty In finding the ball. They searched and scarehed, however, without discovering even a splinter of It. They fairly. ctlt tho head into mince meat but their search remained unrewarded. At BUp-per time they gave up the search completely puzzled.

Today they will make another effort. HKA11CHINO FOll BULLET. Much depends on the finding of the bullet and realizing this the doctors' propose to take heroic measures to locate It. The opening In the back of the head Is of such dimensions that It might have been made by a rifle ball of large calibre. The hole, however, Is Irregular and could have been mndo by a small pistol ball.

The dead man's light colored slouch hat has a bullet hole In Its rim. It Is supposed ho hnd the rim turned down on account of tho rain and that the hole was made by the bullet before It entered his head. It Is possible, however, that this hole was made by another bullet. Both the bullet which killed Vlnnzza and the bullet which ripped the rim ot Betetto's hat apparently came from the rear and took an upward course. It Is not Impossible that they were shot In mistake for deputies, but the more plausible theory Is that deputies shot them.

No nrrests have as yet been made. District Attorney Lewis said yesterday afternoon he did not care to make arrests until he had arrived at a satisfactory theory of how the killing occurred. He supposes, he Bays, that some guard at the colliery did the shooting but Is not yet satisfied that this Is not an erroneous supposition. MINERS' OFFICIALS' INVESTIGATE. A number of the ofllclnls of the United Mine Workers went to Lackawanna yesterday to Investigate the shooting with view of causing the arrest ot the deputies.

District President Nlcholls said yesterday thut If their Investigations satisfy them the shooting was done by the guards, prosecutions will be brought against them. Some action will likely be taken today, when the Investigating committee will make Its report. There was much Indignation among the foreign residents over the shooting and they made all sorts of threats. The guard at the colliery was doubled last night and Sheriff Schadt wont down In the evening with a special posse to preserve order. When darkness came a thousand people collected In the vicinity of tho mine nnd an attack might have been made on the guards had not the sheriff's posse kept the crowd In check.

Consul TIscar addressed the crowd and Induced them to go home. A number of carpenters and laboreis who were employed to build a new breaker for the Lehigh Valley Coal company at Its Mineral Spring mine went on strike yesterday because the company would not grant them an 8-hour day. A telegram was sent from strike headquarters to President Mitchell in the West today that there was no truth in the reports that the strikers were weakening, on the contrary, the. situation was stated to be about the same as when he left and that the miners were putting up noble fight. GET BACK THEIR MEN.

Three oC the big coal companies In this region now claim they have all the engines and pumpmen they need. The Delaware and Hudson company has a surplus of engineers. There is no question but that the companies are gradually getting back a great number of the engineers and pumpmen who quit their services 2.
