The plot OF the play, which bears the

FINDING OF A SKELETON

May Throw Light on Mystery OF Four
Years Standing.
Mddletown, Conn, Nov. 15.-The dis
coyery of a probable tragedy OF four
years ago has just been brought to light
with the finding of a skeleton in the
woods in the vicinity of Deep River.
The skeleton was found by party OF
rabbit hunters last Saturday. Inves-
tigation since then has convinced Med
ical Examiner Ely that the skeleton
IS THAI of Giuseppe Snelda, who kept an
Italian boarding house just across from
Deep River, and who unaccountably dis
appeared four years ago this month.
The skeleton was found i'm a shallow
grave. partially under a stone wall, and
the skull had the appearance OF having
been crushed in by blow from a heavy
club.
On Nov. T. 1894 Sinelda went into the
woods hunting, accompanied by fellow
Italian. The companion returned later
In the day and reported that Sinelda had
wandered off and he could not find him.
An overturned boat that belonged to
Sinelda, that was later found floating
in the Connecticut river gave rise to
the belief that he was drowned while
duck hunting. At the time OF his dis
appearance II was known that Sinelda
carried upward OF $500 on his person.
but there was no tract of the money
about the skeleton. The fact that Sim
elda's hunting companion and Mrs. Sim
elda, pretty young Italian. disappeared
soon afterwards has given rise TO the
belief. in view OF the latest develop
iGents. that Sinelda was the victim Of a
plot in which murder. robbery and love
entered,
