Aug. 11.—Joseph Masseria, who dodged several bullets fired at him iast Tuesday. when four gunmen in an automoblle Zerrorized Second avenue, was arrested on a chacge of murder to- day following a second shooting in the same vicinity, in which Uthberto Valenti was slain and two persons wounded, in- cluding Agnes Egglinger, aged 11, of New Haven, Conn. Both frays, according to the police, were “skirmishes in a bootleggers' feud which started scveral months ago with a shooting on Mulberry street. Masseria, arrested in connection with the initial bit of gunplay, had been ee leased on $15,030 bail. Today's shooting occurred within a quarter of a-mile of last Tuesday’s. The police are working on the theory that Valenti was one of the gunmen who opened fire on Masseria earlier in the week, Reports received by the police indicat- ed that from two to five men fired at Valenti today. The wounded, who in- cluded a street cleaner, Joseph Schepis, besides the girl, were struck by stray bullets fired into the crowd. Both to- night were reported in a criticil condi- tion. Valenti. known to the police «s one of a clioue of East Side gamblers and boot- eggers, and regarded as a bad man. who had figured in other shooting affairs, was standing at Second avenue and 12th street when the band of gunmen ap- proached. Walking up to him, they whipped out revolvers and fired. Detective 'Kirk of the homlelde squad was riding past the corner in a trolley car when he heard the shots. He said he saw Valenti, with a pistol in his hand, stagger toward a taxicab and then sud- denly drop into the gutter. Meanwhile two of the gunmen had dashed into 12th street. The street was already well filled with pedestrians and hundreds more came scurrving out of doorways at the sound of the firing. Some of the bystanders attempted to cut off the gunmen's escape.
