East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-04-08

| San Francisco, April S.-The mys-
terry surrounding the murder and mu-
tilation of Wednesday night of the
young man who was identified last
night as Blaggio Vilardo, was clear
ed today by the confession of Mrs.
Pietro Torchirito.
She directly accuses her husband
of the horrible crime, and sufficient
substantiatlon of her statements has
been secured to no longer leave a
doubt in the minds of the police of
the identity of the murderer. Tor
chirito is missing, but detectives are
on his trail and hope to have him
behind the bars within a few hours.
Late last night, through informa-
tion given by Vilardo's brother, Mrs.
Torchirito, who is a handsome young
matron with a 5-months-old child,
was placed under arrest. When
taken into custody she seemed anx-
ious to tell her story. which was
forthcoming as soon as she was plac-
ed in the sweat box.
Killed With n Cleaver.
On Wednesday night vilardo, who
roomed with the Torchiritos, and the
murderer quarreled. While the quar-
rel was at its height, Mrs. Torchirito
went out for a walk. When she re-
turned Vilardo was missing. She
asked her husband where he was, but
was told to mind her own business.
Fearing her husband might do her
harm, she retired to her room, her
husband going into Vilardo's room,
where he worked some time. He
then went out, returned and went
out again. After the second return
he again went to Vilardo's room.
where he worked until past midnight.
The next morning she saw that

Torchirito disappeared Thursday
morning and she has not seen him
since.
Detectives went to Torchirito's
home this morning, scraped off the
fresh whitewash from vilardo's room
and found great splashes of blood.
The deed was committed with a
cleaver. The woman advanced no
reason for the crime, but the officers
are satisfied jealousy was the motive.
Worked in Furious Haste.
In his haste to clear away eviden-
ces of his crime, Torchirito over
looked a number of scraps of flesh
and bone that became detached
through vicious chopping to which
the body was subjected. With the
bloody cleaver he flung the scraps
under the kitchen sink, evidently in
tending to take them away when he
had removed the dismembered body.

found under the sink today by the
detectives.

SAL VAT|ON ARMY
SEEKS COUNTY AID

The Salvation Army In Utah Is In
financial trouble, and a special fnan-
cial envoy from the American head
quarters at Chicago is here for the pur-
pose Of investigating and raising mon
ey.
1t appears that the Working Mems
Hotel" on Plum Alley which was
opened about the first Of the present
year, and for the furnishing Of which
funds We're solicited at the time, Is stlll
unpaid fer. The cost was then adver-
tised to be about 81 900, and the finan-
cial agent now gives nearly
this same amount as the bal
ance due TO Utah creditors for
furnishing the building. The agent Is
Ad1t j. W. Andrews, and he represents
Commissioner Kelby, Of the department
Of the west, giving his entire time 10
the finances Of the army,
II appears from his story, which he
told to Commissioner John w, Mackay
this morning, IN the hope of securing
an appropriation from the county COM
missioners, that the creditors are press
ing the Salt Lake headquarters, and i'm
mediate relief is necessary,
He stated that when the building was
put into use as a working mans hotel
last year the work was
done under the direction Of
Staff Captain Dale. He met a number
Of bills but contracted Indebtedness for
the plumbing, fixtures and paints
which bills were pressed as soon as he
left and a new commissioner came to
take charge. The new man reported TO
headquarters his inability TO meet the
accounts. and $500 was sent him at once
to pay the most pressing, the money
being taken from general Salvation
Army money.
Special Agent Andrews was then dis
patched and ne arrived about two
weeks ago. He first applied TO the city
council, and worked for 10 days 10 get
an appropriation from them, lie claims
he had the councilmen In favor OF IT,
but was disqualified by the city attor-
ney, who claimed the appropriation was
Illegal
Today he made a similar request 10
the county commissioners, for an ab
proprlation OF $500. He was Informed
that there was no legal way To extend
the aid, despite the claim that the hotel
kept men off the streets and saved the
county money usually spent In convict
ing Migrants and petty thieves
When asked Just how much money
STAFF Captain Dale had taken In on his
first appeal for aid Commissioner An
drews stated that It was 81 900 and
that Il had been spent on the building
