Six Mutilated Bodies Found In Lodging
House.

Minneapolis, Mimi, March 2S.--Six
Italians, victims OF a terrible battle
with knives, were found dead In an
Italian lodging house here today. Whe
the police discovered the crime today
the place bore evidence of a struggle
In which 1t is believed at least twelve
men participated. None OF the bod.
les have been identified and neighbors
deny any knowledge Of the affair.
Malta Suspected
II is believed nine OF the men con-
siitnted the Malta and were seErching
for men marked for murder, They
occupied the house for some time, and
last night there were three new faces.
About midnight the fight started and
shortly after six men were seen to
leave.
The dead men were mutilated but
not robbed, and this leads the police
to believe the wholesale slaughter
was the fiendish work OF the Malta.
