TELEppo ADMITS CRIME
Saws He Was Aneered by Younger
Mans Attempt to Have Him
Arrested

Killed for $23 seems to be the Sc
cret of the cold blooded murder OF
Young Luigi Tinello on Union street
by Mikelo Teleppo Tuesday after
noon.
Teleppo. who yesterday professed
ignorance and no memory and appear
ed to be shamming insanity appears
to have changed his mind and has
practically owned up and confessed
the crime.
He has talked freely with the OIL
GERS today and he learned for the nrst
time that Tinello was dead. On being
told that ne broke down and wept.
States Attorney Meagher and Sher-
if Godfrey today secured the assis-
lance of Deputy Sheriff Pascal Riccl
of Rutland, an educated Italian, VINO
mas shown talent both as an ofiicer
and a detective. Deputy Ricci learn
ed many things as to the case and
made public some of the facts. The
states attorney already knew the mo
tive and the Investigation supports his
theories.
In an interview at the county jan
this morning with Deputy Pascal Ricci
Mikelo Teleppo admitted that the mo
tive for the shooting of Luigi Ilneilo
on the lawn of the Charles II. Dewey
residence Tuesday afternoon was
llong standing quarrel over money.
| TelepDo for the first time this morn
ing appeared to realize his position
and it would appear from his CONVEX
sation with Ricci that he did not know
until told so this morning that young
Tinello was dead.
IL would seem strange TO the ordln-
ary mind that the man could nave re
NAMED in ignorance of the full extent
of his deed for so long time but his
failure to comprehend all that had oc-
Cured is borne out by his conversa-
ton with Sheriff Godfrey. During
conversation with the sheriff Teleppo
said, Bring Louis in and see what he
says about it.
! Teleppo admitted the shooting TO
Ricci. but said that he did not know
| that both shots had hit the victim,
When told that Tinello was dead he
broke down and wept for some time
The shooting grew out OF matter
of 1923 which the younger man nad de-
| posted with the older, as the story
was related by Teleppo this morning.
| When Tinello demanded the money
Teleppo the latter said that he refus-
| ed to return il on the ground that the
Younger man would only spend 1t
| foolishly. Teleppo insisted That be-
| fore he would return the money he
would send it to Tinello's father in
Italy.
| What angered Teleppo was the fact
that Tinello when he found that
his money was not to be returned COM
planned to the officers. In repeating
| Teleppo's conversation this morning
Interpreter Ricci said that this APP
lpeared to be the principal grievance.
HE was good friend of mine" said
Teleppo, but when he tried to have
me arrested il made me mad and
swore to kill him.
1t is also said that Teleppo threat
ened vengeance against Patsy Parott,
an Italian to whom Tinello complain
ed that the older man would not re
turn the money and who spoke for
Tinello to the officers in regard to the
matter.
The attempt to blacken his cnarac
ter. as Teleppo considered the com
plant of Tinello to the officers, APP
peared to him an offence punishable
with death. They have said many
things about me-" he told Ricci, blu
I'm no robber.'
