ROSINA DE CICO’S Frantic De- ¢ fense of Her Children. N a moment of frenzy due to the belief that she was about to be deprived of her three children, Mrs. Rosina de Cico vesterday afternoon attacked her husband with an hatchet, inflicting two ugly scalp wounds. The assault occurred in a house at 10 Hinckley alley and was witnessed by Police Offi- cer McMurray and Victor Demartini, the official Italian interpreter. After a short struggle the infuriated woman was disarmed and re- moved to the City Prison, where she was charged with an assault to commit murder. Her husband, who was rendered unconsclous by the blows, at once taken to the Receiving Hospital. He was bleeding profusely from the wounds on his head and seemed to be fatally injured. Police Surgeon Weil soon restored him to consciousness and after stitching the wounds allowed him to leave the hospital. De Civo in broken English informed the Police Surgeon that his wife, evi- | dently thinking that he was about to take possession of their children, a:- tacked himn with the hatchet. “Several weeks ago,” he explained, “my wife and T had a row and she announced that she intended to leave me and take the children with her. We were then living in Portland, and as I did not think she meant what she said I paid no attention to her threat. I went to my work and on my return in the eveming I was astounded to find that she was gone as well as our children. “I immediately started an invesiigation, with the result that I learned that my wife had flown with Pasquel Fuego, who was a frequent visitor o my house. Anxious to regain possession of my children T consulted with the Chief of Police of Portland and he advised me to visit San Francisco, as I was satisfied that my wife-and children had reached this city. I lost no time in packing my grip and coming here, as I was determined to see my children, even at the risk of my life. I reached the city Sunday evening and at once communieated. with Chief Lees. After hearing my story he detailed Police Officer McMurray to assist me. We had little difficulty in locating my wife and children in a house on Hinckley alley. As we entered she seemed pleas- ant enough, and as I informed her that I intended to take the children away she excused herself on the plea that she wanted to see a friend who lived in the house, but promised to retura in a few minutes. Shortly afterward she re- appeared armed with a hatchet. I was conversing with the police officer when she sneaked up behind me and dealt me a blow on the head. As I stag- gered up against the wall she again struck me with the hatchet. Evidenarly realizing that she intended to kill me, Mr. Demartini seized her and after a sharp struggle succeeded In disarming her. Fuego was in the house at the time, but scenting trouble, cowavd that he is, he made his escape.” After locking the woman up, McMurray took the children to the City Pris- on, where they were placed in charge of the matron. To-day they will he sent to some public institution. The woman denies that she eloped with Fuego and claims that she was drfven to leave her hus»and on account of his brutal treat- ment. -9-0-0—-0—-0-0-0-0-0-90-0-90-0-0-0—-0— One More Monopoly |Will ' Wed Miss Elizabeth ©-0-0-0-0-0-0 006000006 PRICES WILL NOT BE RAISED THE HALL COMPANY IS THE ..\ POSITIVE TRIUMPH ECLIPSED ANY OPERA PERFORMANCE Ever Given in San F tev.
