Boys Are Accusers
Of Milano, Now Held
On Murder Charge

Information gathered by the Central
Office detectives this morning throws a
new light on the murder of little Harry
Elton Smith, whose charred body was
found in the rear of Tony Milano's shoe
shop early Sunday morning
Complaints from at least three Wash
ington lads. the names of. which have
not been made public by the detectives,
were received this morning against Mi
lano. According to the declarations of
the youngsters, on various occasions
they have been enticed into the shoe
shop by Milano.
men said this morning declared that
Milano had enticed him into his shop
one evening. The boy, after listening
10 the Italian for a moment, tried to
break away. He had reached the ioor
ard was preparing to step into the
street. when, he says, the enraged shoe
maker hurled an object, probably 4
hammer, at him. He got through the
door just in time to escape another ob-
: !ect thrown at him, he AYERS.
THE statement of this boy ie sub
stantiated by other similar ones from
boys who live in the vicinity of the III
street shop
Parents of the three boys have been
interviewed by the detectives. and the
stores told the latter by the Youngsters
correspond, the parents say, to the ones
told to them days before the charred
body of Harry Elton Smith was found
In the shoemaker's shop, soaked with
Kerosene. The parents said they re-

SMITHS TO REMAIN
CAPITAL RESIDENTS,
MOTHER DECLARES
Family Will Move Away
From Scenes Suggesting
Murder Of Child.

Mrs. Matte Smith, mother of Harry
Smith, the boy who was found muir
dered in the shoe shop of Tony Milano,
will not leave Washington to live in
Tennessee, but will in the course of
ten days move to an apartment near
the center of the city.
When seen this morning at her home,
1907 Florida avenue, Mrs. Smith said!
las soon as the weather gets better /
hope to move to a small, apartment. /
contemplate making the change in the
hope that Myrtle will, with new sur
roundings, escape constant reminders Of
the murder of little Harry"
The condition of Miss Myrtle Smith,
who now is at the Washington Asylum,
is considerably better. Miss Smith is
pronounced by attendants as able to
leave the asylum now, but upon the re-
quest of her mother and the advice of
her physicians, she probably will re-
main there a few days longer. Miss
May Smith, the youngest daughter, who
has been quite sick, also is considerably
better and expects within a few days

Engraving and Printing.

licity which might have been given 1t.
The boys are to be taken to the Dis
trict Attorneys office this afternoon,
and Mr. Wilson will question them. He
will decide whether their testimony
shall be used at the coming trial OF
Milano, now at the District jail, held
by order of the coroner's jury.
1t is believed by the police that Harry
Elton Smith was enticed into the shoe
shop, and In trying to escape, SO en-
ragged his murderer that the man struck
the boy on the head with a hammer.
In his cell at the District jail, Milano
still clings to his original story that
he knows nothing about the manner
In which the Smith lad lost his life.
There was a rumor current this morn
Ing that the Italian had tried to COM
NIT suicide during the night. This was
denied by jail officials.
