While she was still shaking with the
outburst Of terror the detectives piled
her afresh with questions.
They wanted to learn of the plot be-

They learned nothing.

Captain Burnett is still certain that
the woman used her attractions to de-
coy the unfortunate Vilardo to the
slaughter pen. He believes firmly that
when the cleaver sunk into her ad-
mirer's skull she was standing close
by. He has testimony that she helped
to clear away the CHASTITY evidence of
the crime. She bought the kalsomine-
he knows that. He thinks that when

room where the butchery was done she
was on her knees scrubbing at the pool

the floor. Her slender hands tried hard

In every part of San Francisco, in

that Doan's Kidney Pills have

sufferers and cured more sick kidneys
than any medicine of modern time.

lowed by inactivity of the kidneys
and lameness and soreness across

murder cases, causing them to trem-
BILE with horror, to commit perjury and
seek the protection Of the police? What
was the dread power that impelled
probably 1000 Italians who knew him
TO slowly file through the exposure
room of the Morgue, view the mutilat-
ed corpse of Biaggio Vilardo and de-
all knew so well? Italians who knew
him in life, knew him In death.
The story printed in yesterday morn
ing's Call was based on evidence. The
Malta did meet in a shack at North
Beach four weeks before the murder
and decided upo Torturici as the man
who was to do the killing. The same
organization hired the house at 73611A
Green street and planned the detail of
was killed because he was Brogardo's
friend.
Torturici, better known as Peter the
Torch" was well known in the North
Beach section. He was constantly seen
around the grocery kept by Eu-
gene A. Malatesta at Montgomery av-
enue and Green street. Only two
weeks before the murder he was hired
to wash windows. Policeman Jack
Evatt, who is one Of the strongest fac
tors In this manhunt. knew Torturici
well.
WITNESSES ARE AFRAID.
The Malta. living planned and ac-
complished the execution is now pro-
tecting Torturici. The murderer had
little money when he disappeared. If
he wished to leave town money would
be supplied him. The strongest theory
and the one which meets most favor
with those versed in the workings Of
the Malta is that the man wanted has
not left town, but is hiding in some
part of the thickly. populated Latin
quarter
The Malta is a secret organization,
The San Francisco call., 1905-04-11

laughing after him, joking him about
a dollar that Torturici owed him. In
reply to Cuneo's question, When are
you going to come through with that
dollar. Peter Torturici hung his head
in a suIlen manner. He refused to
answer our salutattons. l know him
as we'll as know my own mother
and cannot possibly be mistaken.
Cuneo and Bacigalupi are the last
persons who saw Torturici who have
come forward with statement TO the
police.
NEW CLEW FOUND.
The Malta exists in San Francisco.
Indisputable evidence OF this fact Is IN
the hands of the police. Pietro Tortu-

Biaggio Vilardo, Is still at large De
tective Tom Gibson and Policemen Jack
Evatt and Frank Esola will return to-
day from a false hunt on which they
started yesterday morning. These
sleuths, who hoped to apprehend the
murderer in some of the lumber camps
north Of Willis, have been recalled by
Captain Burnett. evidence having since
been obtained that Vilardo's slayer is
not so far from the city as was imag-
ined.
Captain Burnett says that he will
send Gibson, Evatt and Esola out again
to-day on new clew. The information
received is to the effect that Torturici
is in hiding not far from the city. Many
of the police aver that the much-want-
ed criminal is right here In San Fran
cisco. hidden by the Malta
There is no Malta here" say some.
If there is no Malta what unseen power
is there that puts the fear of death in
the hearts of the lower classes of Sicil-
ians and Italians? What is the power
that intimidates witnesses in italian
