On April 29, 1916, for reasons that have never been discovered,
23-year-old Giovanni Percoco shot two of his fellow employees
at James F. O'Connor's blacksmith shop at 58 Washington St.
Somerville. One of them, Samuel Walkins (erroneously named Wolkon
in the poster) died that same day. The other, 15-year-old Albert
Hudson, may have survived since his name does not appear in
city death records of the period. It is not known if Percoco
was ever apprehended. |
