A Brief Note From 1901 About A Family Reunion

From the November 11, 1901 Brooklyn Daily Eagle:

“There was a family gathering in the apartments of Cassino Di Napoli, a rag picker, 65 years old, who lives on the first floor of the rear house at 570 Sackett Street, between 7 and 8 o’clock last evening and before the party was over one man had stab wounds in the head, two stab wounds in the back, besides a variety of other injuries, and a woman had been slashed on the head and bitten. A knife poker, stove lid and other implements were called into play and the house where the little family reunion took place looked after the fracas as if it were the fatality ward of a hospital.”
