this recital of the tragedy the witness made
no allusion whatever to the killing OF her
aunt.
God told me to do it and / did; God told
me 10 defend my honor, she said TO a baker
who stopped her as she walked out of the
house.
She didn't remember anything about
how many times she stabbed. She got on
a car and rode for two days, she said. She
just closed her eyes and dozed. A voice
told her to 60 TO her mother and she went,
but before she got to the house she was
arrested.
Since she has been in the Tombs, she
said, she has seen the faces OF her aunt
and uncle on the wall.

"Eiod told me, and | did everything God

Mr.. Fly spoke very mildly to the girl
when he questioned her. She said she
didn't run away from her uncle and her
watched her all the time. She described
the sounds in her head, making n buzzing

She told another aunt, Mrs. di Angelo,
about her uncle and there was a family

said that his honor had been questioned.
Di Angelo, who was there. tainted. Then
they took a knife and a pistol from under Di
Angeles coat,
The sounds we're very indistinct for
until after her husband left her, and
then she heard the voice. Mr.. Ely had her
identify the knife and pistol. She refused
to take them in her hand, She didn't re-
member where she had bought them. The
pistol she got loaded While Mr.. Ely was
questioning her about the statements she
made to the Coroner she said, plaintively:

Mrs. Melchoro Farullo, Josephine's sis
was a witness at the morning
She told Of taking Josephine to
the priest and in many details ~oorroborated
the girls story. She also told of the ac-
