BAvoRI WILL SWING.

Now that the body of Joseph
Minichiello has been found. there is
almost conclusive evidence of Bavori's
guilt with the murder of the quartet
and Il. is almost certain that he will
swing for his dastardly deed about
June OF July. 1t will take one Of
the best attorneys in the world to
save him from the gallows, and, II
the district attorney is not capable of
convincing a jury enough to have a
pronouncement of murder in the first
degree, then the people of this county
should elect a new district attorney
next fall.
There is all the evidence in the
world of his guilt and 1t will all be
produced at the trial. Bavori has
been trying to make the officers swal-
low story that Joe Minichiello kill
ed his own brother, Buffetti and the
Palmetto woman, and that he then
fed the country. When he stated
this, he set a trap for himself because
Minichiello was not in Florence
when the woman was killed. 1t will
be an easy matter to prove an ailbi.
Neither would Minichiello kill his
own brother, as Bavori would have
the public believe. They were too
devoted to each other for such au
atrocious crime.
When Bavori showed the officers
his private burial ground. where he
had buried Dominick, Ercola aud
Mrs. Palmetto, just that minute he
far better for him If he had main
tanned his silence and had the bodies
rot in the ground. And his story
about Matteo at Coal Greek having
murdered Joe to marry his wife was
statement that was never believed
by the officers aud only confiicted
with the original yarn he was author r
Of. Now he will spring something
else in order to give the gullsble pub
lie another sensation.
But with all his statements and
conflicting statements. the facts aud
evidence remain the same. One of
the most atrocious and astounding
series Of murders that has ever been
committed in the state has taken
place in Florence and the four bodies
have been recovered. The elder
Minichiello. Buffteti and Mrs. Pal.
metto lived aud slept in the same
house as did Bavori; they disappeared
one after the other and were all kill
ed, evidently, while asleep in bed.
Their dead bodies were founG buried
in their nakedness. Their skulls
were caved in and bloody axe was
found in Bavori's shack, hidden.
Bavori on the morning of Jan. Z
appeared upon the premises wearing
different suit of clothes than the
one he wore the night before. he car
ried bloody suit to woman to be
washed. his dog WAS bloody, Bavori
WAS the last man to occupy the
house and Joe Miniohiello disappear
ed on Monday night Jan 6. He
believed that Bavori killed his broth
er and SO accused him. He was kill
cd au hour later.
Hanging is too good for such u
character and II the law would per-
init 1t. the district attorney might
turn the prisoner over to mob who
might burn him inch by inch at the
stake.
II is believed that even ut this
minute Bavori is preparing to at
tempt another ruse. He has been
acting in mysterious manner the
last few days. His air Of bravado
has disappeared and whether he is
feigning or not. there Is every ap-
pcarance that he IL turning ineane.
Probably he Ia trying to save his mock
from the gnllows. and since insane
men are not permitted to bo hung In
Colorado. according to state laws.
there 10 chance for the man to serve
. life term sentence 10 the peuiten.
