FOR BODY OF

Prove Bavori's Absolute
Guilt.
ARE DIGGING IN IN old
SWAMP NEAR HOUSE
cofoner's Inquest Being Held Over
Three Victims This Afternoon
-Bavori is Smiling.

With three bodies recovered and ly.
ing In the morgue over which an in
quest is being held this afternoon
Chief Furniss and the other officers
are bending every effort today to try
to locate the body Of Joe Minichiello,
the last man to fall at the hands Of
Tony Bavori. The officers expect to
experience as much difficulty in And
ing this body as they did in locat.
ing the others. Bavori is trying to
throw all the blame for the murd-
ers upon Joe Minichiello and as his
body was not found with the others,
1t is probable that the location Of the
burial place will never be wrang from
the lips of Bavori. He is too ardent Q
criminal and entirely too cunning for
that. As long as the body Of Joe re-
mains unearthed Bavori will think
himself safe and is too foxy to give
himself away at the eleventh hour.
The body Of Mrs. Frank Palmetto
WAS 30 badly decomposed and frozen
that 1t fell to pieces when lifted from
the ground by the searchers. and the
stencil WAS 80 strong that men Of
strength and strong stomachs sickened
at the sight and smell. 1t has not
yet been proven what the means en-.
ployed in killing the woman were,
but as the earth was removed from
the body there was a strong odor Of
carbolic acid and it may be that the
woman WAS poisoned. That the
corpse Of the woman is that Of Mrs.
Palmetto has been proven beyond q
doubt. Her father DiNobile Of Brook.
side, was In the city last evening and
told Chief Furniss and Coroner Whit.
more that the girl met with an acci.
dent when a child and that two toes
we're amputated from the right foot.
This Is the condition Of the foot Of
the dead girl. She wore cotton In the
shoes where the toes should be and
the ankle was braced with q piece Of
iron. The braced shoe was founu
with the girls clothing under Ba.
vori's bed when the first search Of the
house was made.
Coroner Whitmore says the killing
of the three victims whose bodies are
at the morgue was premeditated and
that he had ample time to arrange a
place for the burial The hole in
which they we're buried WAS large
and some little time would have been
required to excavnte 1t. But the cor.
oner says that the killing Of Joe wns
done on the spur of the moment and
that his body would be chucked into
the most convenient hole. A swamp
northeast OF the vegetable cellar
where the other bodies were found
yesterday, is being searched today.
A detective in the employ Of the Dem
yer Post and who has been work ing
on the case for several days. told the
writer yesterday afternoon that the
body Of one Of the victims would be
found In the swamp He claims to
have worked on BAvori and that he
gained that much information from
him. Officer Furniss Is inclined to
the belief that Bsvori had figured out
that the series Of murders would have
been discovered sooner or later and
that when the time came, Bavori
would accuse Joe Mipichiollo. and
therefore hid the body some distance
from the ranch. He 10 positive that
Joe's body will not be found hidden
