DOUBLE MURDER CHARGED
italian Accused OF Killing Wife and
Mother-in-Law.

Mother-tn-laW.
New York, May 9.-Mrs. Maria Vito
and her mother, Mrs. Maria Brignoli,
were literally slashed to pieces with
razors In their East Side home early
In the day Giovanni Vito, the hus-
band Of the younger woman, Is under
arrest charged with the crime. 1t Is
alleged that he killed the women after
quarrel which followed their refusal
to give him money. Vito denies that
he is guilty, however, and stoutly
maintains that his wife and mother
in-law were killed by two men who
broke into the house and with whom
he himself had a fierce struggle in de-
fense of his life. In support OF his
story he exhibited to the police cut
on one Of his hands, which he declares
was inflicted by one Of the murderers.
His story is substantiated by his three
year-old son. The police give the story
little credence, however, as Vito and
the child were the only persons In
the apartment when the police, who
had been informed that murder was
being done In the house, forced an
entrance. Vito Is q barber by trade,
but Is said to have lived on the earn
ings of his wife for several years.
Three bloody razors were found in the
apartmentS.

YanktOn Press: There are two opin
ions held by parties whose opinions are
entitled to weight, regarding the effect
of the cold freezing weather of April
upon the fruit crop. and it will require
q little more time and a continuance of
the warming up sunny weather that is
now prevalent to determine which of
the opinions is correct, the one that
holds that the fruit crop of the north
ern western states is about wiped out
as result Of frost asd the other that
the budding process was not far enough
advanced to be seriously injured. In
South Dakota the latter opinion is
shared By many small fruit growers.
Oats are thought to have received more
injury than wheat. Regarding the
small grain crop generally it is held
that even II not seriously injured it
has lost three or four weeks time. hay-
ing made no growth during April, but
this may be compensated BY late fall
which usually follows late spring.
