The following are notes taken by Freelance Buzz Writer, Merlot, at the bedside of Pietro Grazia, while he was talking irrationally, in a semi-conscious condition.
“Please leave me alone Chiatti, I was never a bad guy in my life, I’m not a rat," he murmured.
Tough sweating.
“(Bruno) Ferilli, fuck him the dirty rat, I’ll get him – I always thought you were a rat but I did not think you would do this.”
The following are notes taken after speaking to Captain Morrison, who interrogated Grazia’s wife, Rosa.
Mrs. Rosa Grazia, of 37 88th Street, Buffalo, NY, appeared at the Office of Captain Morrison, of Rochester Police Dept, and was interrogated by him. At her deposition, she stated in substance that she was 21 years and legally married to Pietro Grazia, and that she resided at the above address and visited Grazia at the Robert Treat Hotel on several occasions since he has been stopping there, and that at about 8:00PM, on March 23, 2910, she called at his hotel and upon finding him out, she then went to the Diner at 10 East Park Street, where she met Grazia and remained with him in the Diner until about 9:00PM, when she left and attended a moving picture show at the Terminal Theatre in Rochester, NY.
Upon returning to the Diner she observed a crowd in front of the Diner and elided it was a raid and not wanting to get involved she returned to Buffallo to her residence and later read of the shooting in the ‘Bootleggers Buzz’.
