Bavori, devoid of human feelings
and intelligence, with the cunning of
brute and heart of stone, bit on
the bait like the hungriest of fishes
and consented to tell the officers the
burial places of the bodies which have
been unearthed and that he was to
lay his dirty, bloody. and murderous
work on one of his dead victims.
The information was impaired to
the sheriff and Bavori acted as we'll
pleased over it as a school boy laugh
ing, chatting and acting every part
of brute and degenerate. Then
he was hustled into closed carriage
and brought to Florence at 5o'clock
Monday morning. His heart for
once failed him and he would not
divulge the information. He was
then taken back to the county Jail
and Sendesky, the alleged Omaha
murderer, was locked up in the cell
with him. 1t was but an hour or SO
until Bavori again consented, SEN
desky pointing out the Importance of
his telling the location of the bodies
to save his own neck. He consented
the second time.
Arriving in Florence about ten
O'Clock Of the same morning, Bavori
shackled, led the officers over different
parts of the garden and hesitated.
Knowing that he held the secret in
his heart, the officers, not to be ont
down by the witty Bavori, placed a
Iope over his neck and threatened
him with lynching if he did not tell.
He shook as though seized with sud-
den chill, but still maintained sill
ence Then Sheriff Esser found an
old corn knife on the ground and rub
bed the dull edge of it across the back
of Bavori's neck and he Immediately
begged for his life and agreed to
show the location of the bodies
Leading them to the old vegetable
cellar, he said, "Dig there.
The officers were not slow in getting
shovel and after digging about two
feet uncovered the leg of Dominick.
The secret was out and the mystery
solved and Bayori WAS hustled back
to the county jail while detachment
of officers were stationed at the old
cellar to stand guard.
Sendesky played the part of mur.
derer and Black Hand man we'll and
won his case. He was locked up with
the prisoner from last Tuesday till
Monday morning, but the conversa'
tion which took place during the en-.
tire time need not necessarily be pub
lished. The above is only part OF
the confession made by Bavori AS 1t II
