The Rich Hill tribune. (Rich Hill, Mo.) 1903-1911, 1905-02-09
Inereaaea ApproprIatIon, ete

-N
Ii is suggested that it may be the
policy of our democratic friends
in the legislature and Of the officers
in charge Of our state institutions to
ask and urge increased appropria-
uons all along the line so that in
the coming days and next campaign
they can point to the extravagance
of the republican Legislature. 1t is
noticed that there is a general call
for such increases and the ink will
not be dry on the printing of the
proceedings of the Legislature be.
fore the whole democratic press,
Town and county, CITY and viii
will begin a regular howl and they
viii keep it up from this time to
November 1906. There will not
be a single increase suggested in
the Republican house that the Dem
ocratie senate viii not readily vote
for and the bigger the better, and
the more extravagant and useless
the more eager they will be to put
ii through while it IS hot and a go
ing. Then again the more offices
they can have created aud the more
salaries increased the better for
them. More bank examiners are
wanted, these of course will be Re-
publican now, but the new circuit
judges wont. These things with
others we might mention, together
with the hang together vote on
Senator indicates that the Demo.
Gratis have the astute politicians in
this legislature.

We see iha, the new city charter
OF Kansas City is to empower the
city government to buy in real
and personal property sold for de
linquent taxes. If this power, uB.

state can be assumed by kansas
City possibly the same right can be
assumed by any other city or town
in the state. 1t this is true we are
in favor of the city of Rich Hill
buying in all the real estate in the
city sold for delinquent taxes and
holding it subject to such delin
quenoY until such time as the real
owner can redeem the same or the
city sell it to reimburse itself for
the outlay. Let il be made one OF

Hundreds of persons gathered in
front of the place-men, women and
children. They pushed and jostled
and fought. eager to be among the
first to enter.
Before the doors were again opened
the police forced the crowd into
Washington street and compelled 1T to
get in single file. There was a line
of persons extending two blocks when
the doors were finally thrown open.
The faces and appearances of the
morbid throng were a study.
Hundreds of Chinese and Japanese
and men of every nationality were
there. Men of business and profess
sional men got in line next to the
shabbily clad. all burning with eager
ness to get a glimpse of the body.
Women and children were numerous
in the constant march around the
slab.
An official was always close by the
slab with a ready ear to catch a re-
mark about Identification. Many of
the clews were taken and run down.

one would go into the street and say
he knew the murdered man. This
would be a signal for a surging mob
to gather around the individual. Of
ficials of the Morgue and Police De-
partment would take him in hand,
but after close questioning it would
develop that he was mistaken. Every
few minutes this scene would be en-
acted. but this did not discourage the
officials. They kept on the alert and
were willing to listen to f1imsy stories
in their efforts to establish the vic
TINS identity.
Never in the history of this city
has such a crowd gathered at the
city's dead house. From early morn
ing the curious kept coming and go
ing. and it is estimated that $1,000
persons looked at the ghastly specta-
Gle living on the marble slab.
The police were kept busy pushing
the crowd along SO 1t would not
blockade the alley. The doors were
onened in the morning. A steady
stream of humanity marched around
the slab and gazed into the face of
the dead-some to see II they knew
him hut the most of them attracted
solely by curiosity.
During the afternoon the doors of

Vilardo's open sympathy for the man

die in a manner that would be warn

word against the society.
And the example has had its effect
Over 10000 people viewed the body yes

Latins who knew the dead man. But

They felt in their hearts that whis-

Victims Knsman and First Step in
Mystery Is Solved.

The mutilated body found Wednes-
and Powell streets has been identified
as that of Biaggio Vilardo, a Sicilian
laborer. His half brother, Crispino
Vilardo, last night recognized the face
of the murdered man and declared to
Captain of Detectives Burnett hat the
victim of the crime was his brother.
The remains were first identified by
Giacamo Licurri. who had lived with
Biaggio Vilardo at 10 Montgomery
avenue till three weeks ago, when
Vilardo went to Oakland to work as
laborer for a contracting firm. Fretito
Immediately notified Captain Burnett
and Detectives Harrison and Graham
were sent out to find the brother, who
is employed in the roundhouse at Six
teenth and Townsend streets.
The identifica ton by the brother
was dramatic. He looked at the face
for an instant and his own face grew
ashen. He shook as though stricken
with palsy.
..Dou you know him" some one
asked.
Yes, yes" he replied quickly. IT
know him. He is my brother"
The man was Immediately taken TO
Captain Burnett's room and hastily
examined. He declared that he could
imagine no motive for the murder of
his brother.
MY brother lived at 71o Montgom-
cry avenue till three weeks ago"
vilardo explained. Then he went to
Oakland to work for some contractors

WAS your brother asked to go?"
IF he was he did not speak about
it to me. We did not see each other
very much. No. we did not have any
quarrel, but we were not much to-

Crispino says that his brother was
about 81 years Of age. He was un-
married and man of uncertain
habits.
After a hasty examination Licurri

to 10 Montgomery avenue, where the
dead man formerly roomed.
