ZANOLI, ALLEGED POIS0NER.
Prisoner Aids the Police in Clearing
Up Details.


New York, Dec. 13.-Charles Zanoli.
who is suspected of having killed four
of his wives and three other persons
for the purpose of collecting insurance
money on their lives, is still prisoner
at police headquarters. He continues
his protestations of innocence of foul
deeds. Zanoli expresses himself as be-
ing more than ready to help the de-
tectlves toward the solution of all
doubtful questions, and Chief Detective
McClusky acknowledges that the pris-
oner has been of great assistance to
him in clearing up some of the details
of the investigation which might have
cost much time and trouble.
The police have learned that the
young woman who had been selected
by Zanoli as his fifth wife, just before
his arrest on Thursday last, is Bar
bara Hoffner 25 years old. n resident of
Brooklyn. She had answered an ad-
vertisement Of Zanoli under the name
of c. Wagner.
Zanoli has at least a smatterfng
knowledge Of things medical, which he
gained in his apprenticeship for the
trade of barber in Germany. It is possi-
bic, Chief McClosky thinks, that hemay
be possessed of the same general
knowledge of deadly drugs
Zanoi did not make away with the
child Lena Werner, daughter of one
of the prisoners dead wives. The girl
is now in Germany with her fathers
relatives.
The body of Jennie Schlessinger, the
fourth wife. will be exhumed today.
