COMPANY PROPRIETOR SHOT BY GUNMEN
(Received January 31, 9.4 p.m.) NEW YORK, January 30. A message from Lyndhurst (New Jersey) says that parking an automobile so that the headlights illuminated the interior of the Automobile Sales Company's premises, two masked men entered and shot dead the proprietor, Frank Paolillo, aged 40, whom the police termed a racketeer during and since prohibition. They then drove away. Investigators are working on the theory that the victim owed money to his murderers since the prohibition days, and refused to pay. Paolillo was awaiting sentence after conviction for operating an illicit still.
