Peter Kehoe
Fatally Stabbed
"Peter Kehoe
of 137 Laidlaw Avenue, Jersey City, who was stabbed Saturday night by Peter
Tolo, an Italian bootblack of 37 Colgate, will die. His ante-mortem statement
was taken declared positively that Tolo stabbed him. He said he was quietly
walking down Laidlaw Avenue, when he was suddenly confronted by Tolo, who,
without saying a word, plunged a knife into his abdomen and fled.
"Kehoe said
the only quarrel he had ever with the Italian was two weeks ago, when Tolo
charged him ten cents to black his boots, and he only paid him 5 cents. Tolo
then swore in a rage that he would have revenge. Kehoe did not see him again
until he was stabbed. The police believe they can find Tolo."

Moral of the story: definitely learn to shine your own shoes.
