New York, March Salvatore
Marchinne, who knew more than was
good for him and told more thsn he
should, went into barber shop IN the
Italian colony in Brooklyn Wodncs-
day night and was shaved. Just as
the barber was finishing with him
some one plnioned his arps to the
chair while another man drove a still
etto deep into the left side of his neck
with three savage strokes.
The blinds were down in the front
of the shop and the door locked, but
the men who had planned the death
of Marchinne went hurriedly and bung
ling about their task of disposing of
his body. First they took the corpse
out OF the harber's chair into a back
room. where the baths are located.
Then with the BARRIERS razors and a
small hack saw they dismembered
the body, separating the limbs from
the trunk and cutting through the
bones below the joints.
SO hurriedly did the murderers per-
form their task that they did not even
undress the body before beginning,
but made sweeps with the razor
through the outer clothes and under
garments. Then to insure, as they
thought. against Identification of their
victim when his dismembered body
should be found they sliced of all the
features on his face that fell within
the sweep OF one or two-shshlng cuts
of the razor.
Fragments Thrown on Dump.
That done. the several stumps OF
the dead mans limbs we're washed
clean and after much of the blood
that came from the wounds had
drained away into the vents of the
bathtub or upon the oilcloth laid upon
the floor, the murderers tied up the
body in one bundle of new oilcloth
and the limbs In another. Some time
after the storm had ceased on We'd
nesday night or early Thursday morn
ing they took the two bundles In a
cart to the dump grounds in the Flat
bush district of Brooklyn. and there
dumped them among the piles of rub
blsh.
This is the restoration of the events
of the crime as the detectives under
Capt. Kuhne. head of the Brooklyn
headquarters detective stan, and In
spector John .OBrlen. of the police
force have made IT,
Working on this hypothesis, the
slcuths are hunting through Brooklyn
and portion of the Italian colony
IN New York for some men who we're
once arrested as counterfeiters on in
formation given by traitor in the
crowd. Salvatore Marchinne. they
are convinced, was that traitor, who
knew much and told much more than
he should
When the detectives opened the
cllnched teeth of the dead man, bare
~ covered by the lips that had been
half shorn away, they found that the
end OF the tongue had been cut on.
Salvatore Marchnne was not killed
to be robbed. nor through the ieal-
ousy OF a husband or a lover. He was
killed because he once told some
thing.
Boy Discovers the Tragedy.
John Hanlon, a 11-year-old boy
who makes a precarious living by col
lectlng and selling junk. found the
pieces of body and at once reported
his discovery to the police.
Unwrapping the ollcloth on a bun
die the boy found within the head
and torso of a man. About twenty
Ave or thirty feet away smaller
bundle similarly wrapped In the fam
ing ollcloth. Cotterman opened this
and found packed away inside a pair
of severed arms and legs, fully clothed
Both bundles were tied about with
heavy. dirty white Irvine.
Only two things we're discovered
which added at all TO the relics which
had been removed to the station. One
was black felt hat containing on
the leather band inside the crown the
name OF an Italian dealer with the
word PALERMO" below II. They also
found loop which fitted missing
part of the suspenders still about the
shoulders OF the torso in the oilcloth
bundle.
Nursiercrs Overlook letters.
The deliberate haggling of the
countcnanee had manifestly been done
To prevent Identification, but In their
haste the murderers left in the coat
