The Denver papers are filled with
ders in that place of an old italian
and three younger unes. Two of the
williams arrested have confessed the
details of the murders.
The boy, Alessandrl, now under
arrest, told the following story of the
murder:
II saw the men killed, but had
nothing to do with il. They made me
play the harp while they did the kill
ing the murders were committed by
five men, and those arrested with me
are two of them. The old man was
killed first, and the largest boy next.
They were killed a little after noon on
Friday. The two little boys were out.
The murderers waited until they re-
turned, about o'clock, and then cut
their Threats. The bodies of the old
man and the largest boy were then in
the front room. They carried all of
their bodies down into the cellar. 1
did not help because 1 was too sick
with the sight. They threatened to
kill me. They all went into the cellar,
and took the money from the body
of the old man. They found gold in a
belt around the body, and greenbacks
in his vest pocket. I don't know how
much money there was altogether,
but saw them count out 5000 in gold
in the room where the murders were
committed. They wanted me to drink
some of the old mans blood, but 1 told
them / had done so while they were
u of the ROOM. Each of them then
licked the blood from the blades ofsthe
knives they had used.
After having taken everything they
wanted from the house, they put
what remained il the house in the
cellar, and scrubbed the floor. They
made me help. The old mans blood
would not be washed off. We took
the two dogs belonging to the old man,
and took them to North Denver, close
to the Grand View Hotel, where Bal
lotti killed them with q Ratchet.
About IL o'clock Friday night we left
Denver, and travelled on foot to Little
ton, where we got on the freight train
and rode 10 Pueblo. We walked
toward Trinidad as far as the Twenty
one Mile House, where we got into a
wagon and rode to Trinidad. We
would have left last Monday for Mex
leo. but Fuccio persuaded us TO remain
in Trinidad, and play at his saloon"

The fierce political conflicts which
have been waged in several States will
terminate tomorrow, and the voice Of
the people will be heard on the various
questions submitted to them by the
two great political divisions of the
day. New York, Pennsylvania, Mass
achusetts. Minnesota and Maryland,
have their state elections tomorrow,
while In Illinois important county
elections take place. We think Penn
sylSania, Massachusetts and Mime
sofa are certain to elect the Republican
ticket, while New York and Mary
land are somewhat doubtful but The
Republicans in those two States have
made a gallant fight and success may
crown their efforts. In Maryland the
Democrats are divided, hence a Re-
publican success may be anticipated in
that Democratic stronghold.
