STRANGE TRAGEDY IN ITALY
Plan to Murder Millionaire Ends in
Suicide of PIotter.

Rome, Dec. 11-One of the strang
est of crimes had a most dramatic
solution during the day. young
man named Beretta, millionaire OF
Milan and famous sportsman, was
invited by the Chevalier Angelo Nec-
chic. an organizer of sporting shows,
to his villa outside of Milan on the
pretext that Beretta examine some Old
pictures. Once there Beretta was
seized and bound and obliged, with a
revolver pointed at his head, to make
a will leaving his fortune to Vecchlo.
besides writing a letter saying he had
committed suicide. Vecchio then left
the villa after instructing an accom-
plice to drown Beretta the next day in
a bath and carry the body far away
from the villa so as to give Necchlo
a chance to prove an alibi. But the
heart of Vecchio's accomplice softened
and he set Beretta at liberty and Nec'
chic. who read in the newspapers that
his plot had been discovered, disap
peared.
The police thought he had gone to
America Later. however, it was
learned that vecchio had committed
suicide by shooting while driving IN
an open carriage on the famous Monte
Pinsio drive.
