Quincy, Mass, Oct l5.-The body Of
Louis G. ResteIli the Italian who MUIR
dered MS mother and Henry L. Hard
wick, in Quincy July 20, was found in
Merrymount quarry at Quincy yester-
day by j. R. Qualey, fish and game war
den Of Braintree, an old granite manu-
facturer, and Patrick Milford special
policeman of Quincy. Qualey and Mil
ford had had graphing irons at Hard.
wick's office for several days and yes
terday forenoon they had been at work
dragging different parts of the quarry,
which is filled with water TO depth
Of seventy or eighty feet
Their irons brought a body to the sur
face at l2;45 o'clock and they at once
decided that it was Restelli's. Further
Identification was made at the under
taking roms Of Jorn Hail. to which the
body was removed. Later the remains
We're taken to the tomb at Mount VOL
laston cemetery 1t had been announced
that the city bells would be rung as
soon as Restelli was taken; but no bells
were sounded, for the reason that the
authorities wanted to be certain beyond
4 doubt before making public announce
ment. Nevertheless, there is little doubt
about the Identification.
The Merrymount quarry, where the
body was found, was owned formerly
By Andrew Ericsson. 1t is at the end Of
CAROLS lane about half mile away
from the Office of the Hardwick Brothers
The fact that Restelli, laden with two
bundles, was seen going in the direc-
ton Of the quarry the day before the
tragedies led the police to drag the
quarry,
The body when found had "a bullet
hole in the neck A belt around the
waist contained two 3s-calibre reyol-
yers and a dirkknife. The wrists were
handcuited, and to each wrist was at
tached ten-pound bush hammer. 1t
Is supposed that the articles for weight.
ing his body were taken to the quarry
BY Restelli in the bundles which he was
seen to have the day before the muir
ders.
RestelPs disappearance completely
batfled the police Of Quincy and all New
England and New York state. where the
search was carried on continuously for
several weeks, after his awful crimes,
and now the explanation is at hand
Chief Burrell and other policemen Of
Quincy and nearby cities felt confident
for some time that the murderer was
hiding or had killed himself in the aban-
doned quarries of the common section,
where he was last seen. For some time
searchers were engaged in hunting
through the quarries and in dragging
the deep pools Of water, until finally
the search was given up, excepting for
spasmodic work BY interested individ-
uals, which was somwhat stimulated by
the several rewards offered. One or two
Of the rewards will cover the finding
oi the body, a total Of 81 500 having
been offered in ALL but only part Of
IL for the dead body provided it was
found after Restelli had committed sui
eide.
One feature Of the hunt which caused
no end of annoyance to the police OF
many places, and especially those Of
Quincy was the fact that hardly an hour
passed for two weeks after the shooting
but that someone reported having seen
the Italian somewhere In New England
of New York state, and he was even
reported as far away as Cape Breton,
where the self constituted detective,
who claimed to have tracked Restelli,
was later found with his throat cut
The latest report Of someone having
positively identified" RestelIi, came
from a Vermont quarryman who had ar
rived home from Italy and who claimed
that he saw Restelli in his native land,
but gave no notice to the authorities
there because he had not then heard Of
the murders,
