Black Hander’s Fatal Shot Italian Seeks to Mulch a Fellow Countryman and is Killed – Latter Escapes With a demand for money on his lips, an Italian known as Frank Leo, believed to have been an agent for the Black Hand, was fatally shot Saturday morning in a boarding house at Punxsutawney, conducted by Domonic Provinco at the Florence mine of the Rochester & Pittsburg Coal and Iron Company. Provinco, who is accused of the shooting, disappeared immediately after the tragedy. Leo, who was but slightly known among the Italians at the Florence mine, is said to have appeared at Provinco’s house several times recently with demands for money. The foreigners are reticent as to the amount he obtained. Last night Leo is alleged to have demanded $50 from Provinco and $20 from each of the two other Italians in the house. When Provinco’s wife responded to a knock at the door this morning she was confronted by Leo, who said he had come for the money. The woman screamed. An instant later Provinco emerged with a shotgun and taking quick aim, fired at Leo. The latter was not hit but the shotgun was fired at a range so short that his face was scorched and his eyes blinded by the powder. As he fell gasping to the floor, Provinco shot him through the right lung. Another load was fired into the dying man’s stomach. Provinco left, saying he was going to Punxsutawney to surrender himself. It is supposed he became terrified and changed his mind. The only weapon found in Leo’s pockets was a razor. There is no feeling against Provinco, but no effort will be spared to locate him in order to secure evidence that will aid in clearing the region of the murderous society.
