5 . Crutil Murder Revealed After
J New York Thugs Fight
;; Deadly Duel.
JCNEW YORK. July 10.-(Special.)-i
ttapcratc a band "of gunmen as this
'v'' .Clty.mr developed practically ramp to
A cind without police aid when Matthew
joaeph Calieli and Thomas Abrutzn
i'i fotagnt duel with knivei in a room in
Wat Forty-third street. Caiieli known
J "Monte" wai killed and Ahruno
known . at ''Ninny." suffered wounds
Which probably will terminate hit life.
v ' t ' ' I" Flight from Boston.
' The two men were in flight from Hos-
: ton where they had completed a series
of robberies with as mean a murder as
V' . the police ever knew when they fought
over the division of spoils.
' ' Caswlli Abrutto and Frank Cassrli.
V; cousin of "Monte" and known t In'
companions as "Slim?" fled to Boston
from New York less than two weeks
. ' ato and there committed several bur-
Claries and highway robberies. The
last crime of the trio there wa the rob-
bery of a waiter from whom was taken
aeveral hills and a $JU poll piece
"$lim";t6k charge of the money on
' . the way tack to their room ami when
the time for division came the $J0 gold
piece was missing.
"Monte" and "Ninny" knew that for
years it had been a favorite trick f
Slim" to swallow the stakes in a nap
fame and they accused him of swallow-
if the gold piece. With no more com-
t unction than would move a butcher in
illing a chicken "Slim" was killed in
g most brutal manner villi knives ami
bis body was cut open and searched foi
the missing coin.
Failad to Find Coin.
Not being skilled anatomists "Monte"
and "Ninny" failed to find the coin and.
left Boston returning to New 1 ork.
The murder of "Slim" was a mystery to
the Boston police until the autopsy on
Wednesday revealed the $20 gold piece
in the stomach. Until then the police
believed the murderer had been a ma-
niac but the autopsy revealed the cause
for the mutilation of the body.
A dispatch from Boston telling of the
developments in the murder and that
the dead man had been identified a
" "Slim" Casseli was printed in the New
t York newspapers. That story was seen
by "Monte" Casselli and "Ninny" Ahrui-
to in thejr room in Forty-third street.
Abruato according to his later state-
men in Policlinic hospital suggested
they leave New York at once and go
west Casselli said no. Ahrurio de
manded his share of the crime fund.
That started the fight. - The two men
I attacked each other with the long
blades of pocket knives.
' Mrs. Neydel who rented the room to
them on Wednesday heard them strug-
gling and cursing. She ran out and
called a policeman. All was still when
the policeman reached the house. He
broke ih the locked door and found
. "Monte" Casselli dead and Abrurio
hopelessly . wounded. Both had many
Wjt! and .gashes. Whtn Abrurio
reached the hospital and was told be
would die he beganjo talk to detectives.
A dapper little man who registered at
a New York hotel as the minister from
Sweden and who had a Swedish flag
Jsvnf out in bis honor turned out to be
swindler and was arrested.
