Con- tractor Christiano has a large gang of men at work on the bullding and grad- Ing the ground. A crowd of twenty Itaijans, who are believed to have been id) the same who struck in the New Haven Raltlroad yards, came to the place to-, day. They drove the men from thetr work. One man, Salvatore Silvestro, refused to quit work and the strikers drove Mm toward a lumber pile, where he pulled a revolver. Some of tne crowd clubbed him and he shot one of his assailants in the stomach, The victim, Giacomo Lucca, was carried away dying. Carpenters and other men employed on the Job held Stivestro. Bheriff Ritch and two officers organtzed a posse, who hurried to Field Point Park. Senator James F, Walsh, the prosecut- ing attorney, drove hurriedly to the spot to secure information, Reports had reached Greenwich of wholesale murder, and the noise of set- tng off a dozen blasts at the Point made the story, seem likely. ‘The officers prosecutors, with the posse, surrounded the Italians, chained six of them together and marched them to the lock-up. Silvestro had a.ready been sent ¢o the jail, it being the belief at that time that he had shot an inno- cent man. Later it was ¢ound that he acted in self-defense, and he will probably be discharged. ———— SUBWAY STRIKERS REFUSE TO ARBITRATE.
