MURDER MYSTERY
APPARENTLY CLEARED UP.
It Occurred a Year Aeo-Cambridge
Police Make Arrests.

Boston, April Apparently clearing
the mystery which has surrounded the
murder Of Miss Annie Mullins, a New
toundland girl, in Arlington on the
night Of March 27, 1903, the Cambridge
police today arrested two young men,
one of whom. they say, has informed
them that his companion committed
the crime. The prisoners are Diony-
sius Spiropoulos, 20 years old a Greek,
who has been living in Manchester, n.
H.. since the murder under the name Of
James Mantir. and Peter Delocey, a
French Canadian, aged IS. of Smer-
vile. The first named is charged with
the murder and Delorey with being an
accessory.
The police have information in their
possession which indicates that the
young woman was enticed into a sand
pit, where an unsuccessful attempt to
assault her was made, following which
her throat was cut.
In the effort to locate the murderer
Of Miss Mullins, the Arlington and
Cambridge authorities q year ago
questioned some young men who were
acquainted with the girl among whom
was Peter Downey, a motorman, who
is now in Chicago. Persons who saw
Delorey tonight and had known Down
ey remarked the striking resemblance
and it is thought possible that in this
fact lies the heason for Miss Mullins
accompanying two men who we're
strangers to her on the night she was
murdered.
She walked with them for a distance
Of three miles. according TO Delorey.
In his statement to the police Delorey
said:
I'VE met Miss Mullins on the night
Of March % near the Porter street sta
tion of the Boston and Maine railroad.
She spoke to US. apparently believing
ds to be acquaintances We walked to-
gether to Squlres field. Arlington. and
returned to where we started
"The evening being still early, we
walked back again. entering Squires
field by way OF Marathon street. Miss
Mullins and Spiropoulos went into o
sandpit. while I stood some distance
away. ] heard him strike the girl and
heard a dull thud as she fell down, fol-
lowed by several screams. There was
much noise for some time after. but 7
was afraid to go near them. After a
while SpiroDoulos came to me with
his hands smearcd with blood and
threatened me. haying that If / ever
told any person Of what had happened
