Show Threat Is Recalled. "When Caruso returned several days later, failing to see his picture hanging above the door, he became angry and would not speak for several days. One day my partner, Rattini, was in the restaurant and Caruso came in, asking where the picture was, meanwhile looking all through the books for it. He failed to find the photograph and in a frenzy said to Rattini: Rat-tini: 'I know where it is. It was burned, and I know who burned it and they will burn, too.' "Soon after Caruso commenced work for the Phoenix Construction company. It had been whispered among the Italians that he and I were to be married. One day he was joked about It, and, pleased, he came to me and said : 'I Just heard that I was going to marry the little woman wom-an who runs this restaurant.' "Joking with him, I replied that whenever when-ever he was ready to get married, I was, and with that he left the place. He appeared ap-peared insanely jealous when John Del Duka. a friend, came to the restaurant several, times to talk with me. Only a few nights before the explosion Del Duka and I went to the county hospital to visit a woman who had been operated on. Since then I have not seen Saruso."
