Oldbridge, n. j., Sept G.-Bamled
ID every attempt to capture the MUIR
der and arson fiend who, unmolested,
has spread terror in this little com
munlty for years. the inhabitants of
the village were thrown into a near
panic today when 1t was learned the
big insurance companies have can
celled all policies on Oldbridge prop
erty The villagers were stunned by
this eliminating misfortune In the
reign OF outlaWry and steps were at
once taken to form a vigilance COM
mittee to hunt the criminal down.
Within month there have been three
incendiary fires, two of them obviously
set to accomplish murder as well as
TO destroy property. The crime was
started with the brutal murder of
Mrs. Jane Wright, a bling octogenar-
ian, who was found dead with her
throat cut and her little hord Of
money missing.
A few days later a barkeeper who
boasted that he could name the MUIR
derer and nre fiend, was shot to death
In his own home. His father was also
killed while rushing to the young
mans assistance, A laborer made
similar boast and he was murdered
A score OF incendiarles completed the
story of mysterious crimes which the
authorities confess they are unable
TO fathom. Many believe the murder
er is still living here and there are
many threats of lynching In the even
OF his capture.

DEMANDS ARREST OF
CAMORRA INFORMER
CROWN PROSECUTOR SPRINGS
NEW SENSATION IN TRIAL
AT VlTERBo

Viterbo, Italy, May 13.-The crown
prosecutor today asked that Gennaro
Abbattemageio be indicted as an ac-
complice in the murder of Gennaro
Cuoceolo and his gife. The request
was founded on admissions made by
during the session to-
day of the Camorrist trial. President
Bianchi declined to make the order.
Todays exchange between Abbat-
temaggio ind the alleged Camorra
leader Alfano had to do chiefly with
the actual murder of the Cuoccols,
when Abgattemaggio was asked why
his share of the reward for the crime
was $50, while the actual murderers
received only $40 each, he replied:
Because either the camorrists feared
me or thought me useful"
It was this last statement Of the in
former that led the crown prosecutor
to ask for his indictment.

DIAz WON'T Retire
Until PEACE PREVAILS
HOWEVER, AGED PRESIDENT is
WILLING TO MAKE MANI
FESTO EXPLICIT

Mexico City, May 13.--General Diaz
will not leave the presidency while
the country is in its present state
of unrest. He stands ready to state
in more explicit terms than those
contained in his recent manifesto, if
necessary, his attitude with reference
to his retirement. He has demanded
to know from his opponents the terms
in which they expected him to an
nounce his willingness to resign and
is awaiting a reply from them.
The presidents declaration last
Sunday was made in good faith and
with the desire to serve the interests
of his country. There was no sub
terfuge in his declaration. He meant
what he said-that he would lay down
the reins of government when he
could do so without danger of an
archy or chaos following his action.
Minister of Finance Jose Yves Linn
antour made the above explanation
last night to a representative of the
Associated Press.

Women and Children Fled

Naco, Sonora, May 13.-All last
night automobiles sent from Arizona
border points. carried women and
children out of Cananea, in anticipa-
tion of a rebel attack. An Associated
Press correspondent, who made the
journey by motor car last
night, found the citizens of Cananea
calm and the large number of Ameri-
cans there prepared for any eventual
ity.
Juan Caoral demanded the surrender
of Cananea at 2:SO p. m. yesterday.
Colonel Chiapas of the federal garri-
son refused TO surrender. Cabral
then sent a courier to the American
Consul, advising that Americans be
removed 70 a place of safety. The
rebel leader expressed special solicita-
ton for the safety of the women and
children.
Last night negotiations were begun
to prevent battle Mayor Arnold
headed a commission that went to the
rebel camp under flag of truce and
the conference lasted until midnight.
Colonel Cabral was urged to forego
an attack because the principal suf-
ferers would be Americans. When
the conference ended it was believed
that Cananea would be spared for the
present. However, should Colonel
Chiapas, the executioner of Colonel
Talamantes and his two sons, attempt
to escape from the city, the rebel
leader said. it would be the signal for
an immediate attack. The insurrectos
are determined to capture Chiapas
and wreak summary vengeance on
him.

Magdalena, Sonora, May 13.-Un
less reinforcements arrive soon
Colonel Ojeda, commanding the fed
eral garrison of HermosiIlo, consist.
ing of only $50 must face a
most critical situation. Only the most
desperate resistance can prevent the
capture of the largest city in north
western Mexico by the insurrectos.
To add to the difficulties of his sit.
uation the city is poorly fortified.
There are no surrounding trenches.
To the southwest there is hill at
the base of which are the barracks,
in which the garrison is quartered.
Up the hill from the barracks is the
penitentiary and beyond it the city
water works.
The hill is defended only by two
colts rapid fire guns. If the hill is
aptured by the rebels the source of
he water supply would fall into their
lands. If reinforcements, on their
way, are successful in reaching Her
nosillo, the defending force will num-
ber about 1900. The rebels are now
1000 for the assault and
as the entire surrounding country is
in revolt, the enemy may be double
that number. -A.ai-

BLAMES The LUMBER TRUST
TOLD COURT "THEY DETERMINED
TO KILL ME OR GET NE
OUT OF THE WAY"

Hayard, Wis, May 13.-John F..
Dietz will spend the rest of his natur-
al life at hard labor in the state peni-
tentiary at Waupun, by the verdict
of a jury returned today, which
found him guilty of the murder of
Deputy Sheriff Oscar Harp in the
battle of Cameron Dam on October
8, last. Hattie F. Dietz, his wife, and
Leslie Dietz, his son, were found not
guilty.
The smile with which the "Old Man"
has always faced conditions, did not
desert him as the judge read the
verdict. A frown overspread the
face of Mrs. Dietz and she glared at
the jury. Leslie smiled family and
the color came and went in his face.
Asked by Judge Reid if he had any
thing to say before sentence was pro-
nounced, Dietz launched bitter IT,
rade against what he termed the
lumber trust and which he said he
knew sooner or later, because it is
big and I am little, would killed me
or put me out of the way" Dietz
charged the trust with trying to ruin
him and said the lumber companies
had got what they were after"
Il have done nothing wrong. and
the state has," continued Dietz. at
is the state that has waylaid my chill
dren and took one away to jail and
put bullet through, the other, a
young girl"
The suggestion that Dietz, who con-
Quoted his own case throughout, get
an attorney to draw up a motion in
proper form for a new trial was ig-
nored and Dietz himself made verbal
motion to this effect, which was de-
MED by the court.
Life Imprisonment was then impos-
ed upon him. but ten days were al
lowed to file exceptions.
