AN ALLEGED CONFESSION.

But Not sunioient Evidence TO Secure
Conviction.
An Italian, who formerly boarded at
the residence Of Mrs. Carmine Ella
DiPrisoo. at the southeast corner Of
Seventh aud Lincoln streets, out who
is now said to be in New Haven Conn,
is alleged to have made a voluntary
confession to the effect that he had
$40 Of money which was stolen from
Mis-. DiPTisoo's house on February
18th.
On that date, Outing the night, a
trunk in Mrs. DiPrisoo's house was
broken open and s5i stolen.
On the same date the boaTdeF referred
to above disappeared and suspicion
pointed toward him. A relative Of
Mrs. DiPrisoo told a reporter Of Every
Evening, this morning, that the woman
had received a letter from the boaTder
in which be stated that be was in New
Haven and confessed TO taking slO but
said he did not get the remainder Of
the money. He also said the letter
had been brought to the attention Of
the authorities but 90 far as he knew,
no action had been taken against the
man.
When Attorney General Richards
Was seen by q reporter OF Every Even
ing he said no action had been taken
because sufficient evidence had not
been placed in the HANDS OF the au-
thorities.
A person cannot be convicted on bis
confession unless il is supported by
other evidence, and 1t is hardly likely
that an effort will be made to ex
tTadite the man unless additional evil
dence Is produced.
