Assassinated As He Eats

Chicago Heights Man is Shot Through Window

A murder, attributed to jealousy, occurred in Chicago Heights. Emidio Rossi 
was the victim and Antilio Palestino the slayer. The manner of the tragedy was 
startling and horrifying. Rossi, who is 30 years old, was seated at supper in 
the dining room of his brother's house at 1625 Butler street, Chicago Heights, 
when Palestino crept up on a porch overlooking a window of the dining room. 
Through this window Palestino shot three times. The bullets struck Rossi in 
the back of the head, killing him instantly. Then Palestino fled. A. Rossi, 
the brother, told the police that Palestino was jealous of the attentions 
Emidio is said to have shown to Mrs. A. Rossi. The disappearance of the woman 
after the murder led the police to believe that she may have had knowledge of 
the affair.
