represented himself as the Italian con-
sui and told Bavari that he had come
here to see that he had fair treat
ment. Bavari was at first disinclined
to believe that Frabrazzio was what
he represented himself to be, but lat
er changed his mind. having become
convinced that he was indeed an Of
ficer OF the Italian government
Late Sunday afternoon Bavsri told
Frabrazzio that II they would take him
TO Florence he would point out the
spot where his victims were buried.
At s O'Clock this morning Sheriff Es-

did not believe they would ind any

and that they would be successful. AT
depth of a little over three feet the
bodies Of Escola Buffeu and Dominick
Minch!ello were unearthed, both CT
them buried In their night clothes.
One of them had his head split open.
apparently with an axe. and the other
had his throat cut. The indications
are that both were murdered while

remains OF Mrs. Frances Palmetto and
Joe Minchiello. has not yet been

ian feelings. He told Sandesko, the
detective. while in jail few days ago
that he could cut the heart out OF q
man and drink his blood, and his &C.
tions are In accordance with that
barbaric statement.
