100 Years Ago May 17, 1922 Charles Cinnotti of Ringo died in the Girard hospital this afternoon at 1:15 o’clock from bullet wounds suffered last night at 11:30 o’clock, on the road near the Central 45 mine. Cinnotti had told Sheriff Milt Gould that Jack Colletti, also of Ringo, shot him while riding in Colletti’s buggy. Colletti remains at large but the buggy, a .38 Savage automatic and a moonshine still were found in his barn by Sheriff Gould and his deputies.
