J Mrs. Whitley what her husband had
u done, again abused him and told her
his intention was to kill Whitley.
Within a short while Gardner saw t
Whitley and again began to curfle and 1
'? abuse him and then invited Whitley t
h out to the barn tp discuss the differ- r
e ence further. Whitley refused to go [
- and then Gardner made a break to- v
h wards him with the result Whitley
s pulled his gun and shot Gardner, t
s The stomach of Gardner was enter- t
ed in two different places and.the i:
I- intestines perforated in five different
y places hy the ball. V
Gardner was brought to the Wash- s

Special to the Daily News.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12?Fi\ e members
of the band of Italian highwaymen
and members who terrorized the
Croton 1-uke district in Westchester
County a year ago, are to end their
careers in thef electric chair In Sing
Sing prison this week. Two of the
baud are still in their teens, while
the oldest is but little more than

The crime for which they are to
pay the death penalty was the murder
of Mrs. Henry Hall, the young
wife of a superintendent of the aqueduct
near Croton Lake. On November
9 of last year Mrs. Hall was attacked
and robbed by half a dozen
Italians who entered her cottage
while her husband was at work a

one wound being near the heart.
The young woman, a bride cf a
few months, was in delicate health
and was in care of a young woman
nurse, wbo was also beaten and kicked.

run to the construction camp aad

A posse of sheriffs, farmers and
laborers took up the chase and succeeded
in capturing five of the Italians
who had participated in the diabolical
crime. A sixth member, Lorenzo
Colli, said to have been the
leader of the gang, was arrested In
Brooklyn a few days later. Colli confessed
to having been the actual
murderer of Mrs. Hall. He was
given a separate trial and was convicted
and executed several weeks
ago. ^
