DENIES SHIELDING MURDERER
ITALIAN FATHER INDIGNANT
OVER POLICE THEORIES,
Declares He Will Himself Hunt Ton
Children's Slayer to End
Victims Buried Today.

UTICA, N. r, September 15.-Ercohu
Infusino. father of Ferdinand Infusinov
one of the two children murdered in &
ravine In this city Sunday night, to-
day resented the imputation Of SONS
detectives that he told his little daugh.
ter Fannie, another Of the victims, who
is now in Paxton Hospital. not to tell
who did the shooting. With all the
vehemence that he could summon, In
fusino declared that the statement OF
the police was untrue: that he said
nothing to Fannie about keeping silent.
Its a lie," said Infusino. Il never told
the girl such thing"
Another of Infusinos daughters, aged
sixteen, stood close by during this con-
versation. To her fathers indignant
speech she quickly added:
DO you think the murderer is dearer to
us than our own children. that we would
shield him. Both the girl and her
father were intensely in earnest.
The reporter explained that the police
believed that Infusino would prefer to take
the law into his own hands and hunt for
the murderer on his own account, rather
than to put his trust in the law. 1nfusino
admitted without hesitation that he in
tended to hunt his child's slayer. II will
look for him." he said. II will try myself
but first must get this done" He pointed
to the little casket and the weeping wom-
en-. II must wait until the funeral Is over
and I must get my little girl home from
the hospital. then will find him II | cam
The police today are apparently no
nearer the apprehension OF the murderer
than when the crime was discovered. OF

The nth man. and the one who was de-
tanned at police headquarters overnight
was Antonio Perritano. aged thirty-one. a
laborer. He proved to be the godfather OF
Theresa Procopio. Fannie 1nfusino at
one time said her godfather committed
the crime, but when confronted by Per-
ritano at noon today she failed to iden-
tify him as the murderer.

PRESIDENT F|FTY-TWO TODAY
CELEBRATES Anniversary
WHILE ON WAY WEST.
Body Blow to the Osler Theory.
Mr.. Taft Conspicuous Ex-
ample Of vigor.

The Osler theory has received another
dow. And the man who dealt il il
william Howard Taft of Cincinnati.
ONO; Washington. D. c., and Beverly,
mass. For Mr.. Taft is ffty-two years
OLD today and is off on long distance
ride that would kill many a younger
man and make even the successful SUR
vivors Of the Roosevelt riding tests
quail at the very thought of It,
If President Taft feels the weight OF
his fifty-two years he has not shown il
recently. Reports from Beverly indi-
cate that his game of golf is as good
as ever and that he has suffered none
from loss of appetite. He appears to be-
starting off on his trip with all the
enthusiasm of a small boy whose va
cation has just begun.
All over the land golf links will be
made famous by having yielded their
charms to a President. for whenever
the opportunity offers the President
Will spend an afternoon on the links.
His pet golf sticks were carefully gone
over before he left Beverly and packed
in bag for the journey.
Apparently Unlimited Power.
But not only in his pursuit of outdoor
sports does the President give the lie to
DR.. Osler. Nowhere in his words, spoken
or written. does there Turk the slightest
indication that youth has deserted him.
His apparently unlimited power for work
remains unimpaired, and the hopeful
buoyancy of his whole attitude indicates
that he Is man who feels that he has
yet long time to live, and no fear that
his strength will desert him before he has
accomplished certain things he has set
out to do.
His words and actions during the COM
ing tour will be awaited with the keenest
interest all over the country. In the re-
suits Of the trip lie the test of William
Howard Taft, for as yet the country ~
large looks upon him as comparatively an
untried man. All good Americans are
waiting and watching. The general atti-
