NO REAL CLUE
TO MURDERER
Police Are Baffled-- Dead
Man Declared a Fiend.

All information the police have
so far several concerning Saverio
Bevacqua. who was found murdered
one minute after Thursday midnight
indicates that he was a fiend of the
most vicious sort; one whose pas
sios would let him halt at nothing,
they declare. He was ut one time
locked up In the Tombs III New
York for criminally assaulting a
boy. The police are satisfied that
more than one man attacked and
stabbed him. His body will De buried
tomorrow afternoon probably In
Potter's field.
The victims name was spelled by
the police after his arrest for rob-
berry on December II, was Savino
Benoyua.' and when his effects were
investigated Saturday the authorl-
ties learned that he spelled it Save
rio BevacQua. Detectives have
worked diligently on the case SINCE
Friday morning and have heard but
little that might give them any trace
OF the murderers. They are work

excellent clue today, but like SO

The greatest hindrance they have
encountered is the fact that the VIC

murder cannot be traced, and Ital-
ians, seemingly out OF fear for bod
lily harm, refuse to lend any aid
From pictures of Italian men
found ins BeEaequa's place of resi-
dence and now in the possession OF
the police, it would seem that the
murdered man had dealings with q
number on rough looking persons.
Many of the pictures are of fndivid-
uals with hard looks, as though they
were criminals according to the po-
lice. One of Beyacqua's principal

Tired Of Life After Being
Inmate Seven Years.
IS FOUND BY MATRoN
IN Dying Condition When
Physicians Arrise--Little
Hope for His Recovery.
FEARED GOING BLIND
Slashes JuquIar Vein in Two
Coroner Flynn Obtains
Ante-Mortem Statement.

Sickly, despondent and laboring
under constant fear that he would
be sent away to some foreign place,
John Beau. forty-two years old,
glashed his throat with razor In
the city aims house early this morn
ing and lies in q precarious condl-
fion. The man has suffered from
almost constant headaches, said TO
be due to lead poisoning, is blind In
one eye and Is gradually losing the
sight OF the other. Beau cut cash
about three inches long, deepest on
the left Side where a jugular vein
was severed and he lost SO much
blood that physicians doubt he can
recover.
Commits Deed In Bed.
Miss Margaret Salmon, superin-
tendent OF the aimshouse, of which
Beau has been an inmate for the
past seven years, believes the deed
was committed some time between
6 and 1890 O'Clock this morning, He
leaned out Of his bed and then slash
ed his throa and dropped the ra-
zor iii rapidly forming pool Of
blood at one side of the bed Miss
Salmon discovered him shortly be-
fore 8 O'Clock, when she went to see
what he wanted for breakfast.
Physicians and the police were im-
nlediateIy summoned and DR.. Nj. s..
Meinzer and Dr.. William e. Ramsay
responded They found that the
wound had bled SO profugely that 1t
had stopped and was drying. The
man when found was very weak
from loss Of blood.
Ante-afortefn Statement
Coroner James = Flynn sat at
the mans bedside about 10 o'ciocI
this morning and secured an ante
norton statement II which Beau
said he committed the deed himsslf
and blamed no one else. He said
he was sickly, and had constant
1headchaes. He said he wanted to
die, because he was tired of exist
ing as he did. Miss Salmon said
this morning that Beau was blind In
one eye and was losing the sight OF
the other. He often sat with his
head buried In his hands, moaning
and complaining OF severe head
acnes. AT times ne gave voA- so
queer notions that hoated through.
his mind, but for the most he was
quiet and always peaceable. He
seemed constantly In the possession
of an Idea that he was to be sent
away and often begged Miss Salmon
not to let anyone take him from the
Institution. He probably derived
that notion from the fact that Louis
Stasa, former inmate OF the aims
house, was sent TO his own country
in Europe in September of last year
