MURDER NEAR AUKUM
L. p. CosCia, Found Dead
Skull Crushed

L. p. Coscia, was found dead near
his cabin at Mt. Aukum last week, Fri
day, the 9th instant by Louis Seeley.
The body was lying about 80 feet from
the cabin. under some walnut trees.
1t was thought that death had resulted
from natural causes, the body being
badly decomposed, and the coroner was
notified.
Arrangem ents were made for an in
quest to be held by Justice John Koh-
ert, and no foul play was suspected
During the progress CT this inquest it
deveored that murder had been COM
mitted. Sheriff Cook and district at
torney Thomr son were notified and took
the matter up at once. The body was
brought to Placerville Saturday, the
18th, and a second coroner'S jury
viewed the remains and took additional
testimony, under acting coroner, Justice
F. N. Spencer, on Tuesday last. Dr.
w. A. Rockers and DR.. g. H. Runckel
made a thorough examination OF the
dead man, and discovered that the skull
had been crushed in, both jaw bones
fractured, and his false teeth broken in
two by blow from some heavy imple-
ment. A bloody ak handle found near
the body was, no doubt, used by the
murderer in his work.
Sheriff Cook now has under arrest
three suspects, Ira Allen, aged about 10
years-a stepson of Albert G. Hart of
Mt. Aukum; Carl Goffinet, about 2l
years old, and Frank Odell, about 40
years of age. They are now in jail
here, but no formal charge has been
made against the two latter. Allen will
certainly be charged with the crime
within few hours.
Mr. Coscia was native of Torino,
Italy, about 68 years OF age. His pass
port is dated June, 1874 which would
indicate that he came to this county at
that time. He was an educated man,
having graduated from the University OF
Berne, Switzerland, and taken a post
graduate course at the University OF
California. He was an expert civil en-
gineer and spoke several languages
fluently. He had been resident oi
Aukum neighborhood for twenty years
his cabin located in lonely spct some
distance off the main road, and was
known to have contained considerable
money, which was probably the incen
tive for the crime.
Deceased had a deposit certificat
No. 872l3 for $4,000 in the German
Savings and Loan Society, in Sal
Francisco. and held Spring Valle
general mortgage bonds, Nos. 2985 t
1896, inclusive, making total @
twelve bonds of $1,000 each. He ais
has safe deposit box, No. 1922, in tn
Crocker National Bank of San Fran
cisco. contents unknown at present
will require an order of court to hay
this opened. He is supposed to bav
valuable real estate holdings in Sa
Francisco and Oakland
The murdered man leaves no know
relatives in this country, but has
sister, Mrs Virginia Villotti, of Iorint
Italy Mr. Coscia visited Placervill
last about a year ago, as a witness
the Pettus trial, and will be recalled
many OF our citizens.
The funeral took place Tuesday, ar
the remains we're inferred in the eli
cemetery. The latest report is that al
other suspect is being shadowed by II
officers, and other arrests will prooao
follow in the near future. Mt Dsm'

INSANITY
IS sLAYER's PLEA
Drink Caused Unreasonable Jealousy,
Which Led Frank Dickerson Tc
Kill Wife, Alienist Says.

Alcoholic insanity was the disease
from which Frank NJ. Dickerson. on

charge OF numbering his wife. Abbic,
has been a sufferer, according to the
testimony OF DR.. Charles w. Hitch

ly led to the tragedy. according to the
doctors belief.
According to some of the things
that DR.. Hitchcock heard from Dick
erson's lips In interviews the two
have had, the defendant was possess
ed OF a jealousy that amounted To
childishness. His unfounded suspi-
cions that his wife was seeking the
society OF other men led him to do al
sorts of idiotic things to trap her.
On one occasion, he tied a piece OF
string to the door-knob. When he
came home the string was broken and
he regarded that as ceratin evidence
that something was wrong. Again, he
placed lead pencil on table in
the house. He carefully marked the
position of the pencil. Later he

cock he did that so his wife couldn't
make dates with men who came to
the door.
THAT Is not an ordinary jealousy
said DR.. Hitchcock. "He never once
saw her in a compromising attitude
with any man. One of the features
of alcoholic insanity Is an unreason-
able and an unreasoning jearousy."
Attorney Mccain for the defense,
then propounded a lengthy hypotheti-
cal question, most OF which was base.
upon things that the defendant had
told DR.. Hitchcock. Judge Connolly
promptly ruled the question out.
81 think hypothetical question
must be based upon the testimony In
the case" said the court. 1T cannot
be built upon what the defendant has
told an expert witness"
There was considerable wrangling
over the question and 1t was finally ad.
mitted after II had been revamped.
Numerous letters from Dickerson to
his wife were introduced Wednesday
afternoon. They were for the most
part eloquent appeals by the husband
for a reconciliation.
