"One day in April / was out for a

SUSPECT UNDER ARREST.
italian Alleged to Be Guilty of Sew
eraI Murders.

Florence, Colo, Jan. 10.--That Err
Joseph Minichietto and Mrs. Frank
Palmetto, who mysteriously disap-
peared in this city, were murdered
and their bodies then chopped to
pieces is the positive opinion of the
police. The disposition of their bodies
is believed to have been partly re-
vealed by the finding of human lungs,
a thoraX and a piece of a tongue in
the Arkansas river.
1t is believed that other CHASTITY re-
mains are being scattered along the
bed of the river by the swift current
and towns below have been notified
to watch for the appearance of any
evidence Of murder that may come to
the surface.
Tony Rovori, who is in Jail charged
with the murder of the Minichietto
brothers, is said by Chief of Police
Furniss to have confessed that he
killed a man in Italy before coming
to America, Boyori was engaged in
market gardening here in partnership
with the Minichietto brothers and is
accused by the police of having MUIR
dered them in order to obtain their
money and other property. He had
$3.50 when arrested. Buffetti was an
old man employed in the garden. The
police believe that he was killed be-
cause of his knowledge of the other
alleged murders. Mrs. Palmetto was
t,,hn
peared two months ago. She had kept
house for Bovori, but repeatedly re-
fused to marry him.
