ment Of assessments on the real estate
located In Market street. west Of Broad
street, will be made at this time The
assessments on fsls were increased some

turned against Mrs Madelena ciccone
aud Antlone Fiori, who are accused of
having caused the death Of Leonardo Clc-
cone March last by putting arsenic In
coffee drunk by him, and which, so the
state alleges, was furnished TO him by
Mrs. Ciccone
II Is said by the State that Mrs Cic-
cone has confessed to County Prosecu-
tors Detective Anthony De Rogatis. but
Prosecutor Mott refuses to give any de
tails of the alleged confession. At the
Court House today Mr.. Mott denied that
there was a confession, but when told
that 1t was known there was one he
said: That makes no difference; you
can't have IL, anyway.
Antione Fiori. jointly indicted with
Mrs Ciccone IN the murder charge, has
pleaded guilty TO statutory offense. Mrs.
Ciccone pleaded guilty TO the charge
when arraigned before Judge Martin on
March q. Fiori at that time pleaded not
guilty
The indictment charging Mrs. Ciccone
with murder was a long one and ex
plains in detail how arsenic poison was
given to her husband at different times
and in sufficient quantities to eventual

Mrs. ciccone will probably be brought
from the Jail on Monday TO plead to the
Indictment against her for murder. Al
