certain from an authentic source
the names of the principals In this
dreadful tragedy. Patrolman Har-
lungs findings differed from the
names published yesterday, which
gave Augustus Patsy and Augustus
Dunall as the dead men, and Frank
Dunall as the victim in the hospital.
The name of the murderer was the

used by BENZ, Chief Burke instructed
Detectives Huff and Long to Inter
view the imprisoned man as to what
he did with the hrearm after the
murder, and where 1t could be found.
An Interpreter was taken to the po-
lice station last night and learned
from Benz that the pistol could be
found in the third manger Of the
COW shed where he (Beni) was cap

tunity, the corroborating witness,
who was at the city hospital when
the injured mar told his story to
Rev. Father Galassi, was brought to
the cell and heard from Beni's lips
a confirmation of the story told to
him by Minno at the hospital.
