CONFESSES MURDER
OF YOUTH IN SHOP
Tony MiIano Admits He Killed
+. Harry Smith, Aged Twelve,
During Fit of Anger.

Tony MiIano, the italian shoemaker
condemned to die on the gallows on
June 6, has made a confession that
he killed Harry Elton Smith, twelve
wears old, while in a fit Of rage.
Nilano's confession was made in the
hope that President Wilson would ex-
erciss clemency and commute the death
sentence to life Imprisonment. Attor-
neys for Milano have a theory that he
was insane when he committed the
crime, and is possibly deranged at the
present time.
Goes To McReynolds.
Attorneys Daniel w. Baker and James
r. Kelly have turned the confession OF
Milano over to Attorney General Nc
Reynolds in the hope that 1t will reach
the President. An investigation will be
made by Department Of Justice officials
and a Recommendation will then be
made by Attorney General McReynolds
to President Wilson.
Milano declares that he killed the
Smith boy In fit of anger, but denies
that he beat the boy with a shoe ham
mer, as several witnesses at the trial
testified. He says he was so infuri-
that do not know exactly what did. -
The theory Of the Government at the
trial was that Milano was a degenerate,
and argued this contention to the jury.
This was the only motive for the crime
advanced by the Government prose-
cutors-
Practically no defense was put forth
by Nilano at the trial. although the
defendants counsel urged him to plead
ha Ia of ant
refused to take the witness stand, and
the defense virtually rested on an alibi,
which was shattered by evidence de-
duced by the Government.
The Confession.
The confession is:
II now make full statement as
70 how the boy Harry E Smith
was killed. ! was sitting in my shop
working, and while so engaged the
boy rushed in He did not ask for
change, but rushed up toward me
apparently as though he was chased
in there by some other boys. In
my excitement / either struck him
with the hammer or threw the ham,
'mer at him.
After hitting him was 80 in
furiated and crazed by what I had
done that I do not know exactly
what I did
"I believe that after struck the
boy with the hammer that / be-
came out of my mind, an dior that
reason cannot remember anything
that happened thereafter. I have
tried to think IL out while sitting
in my cell, but have no recollec-
tion of getting any oil or putting
the oil around and setting fire to the
place. I don't even remember throw
Ing the boy behind the couch. nor
have I any recollection Of setting
fire to the place"
Miiano was convicted in the District
Supreme Court on October Is. last. on
charge of murder in the first degree.
The Indictment charged that he muir
dered the Smith boy on the afternoon
Of September II. 1s1l. using hammer or
other blunt instrument The testimony
was to the effect that the charred body
of the Smith boy was found in the de-
bris OF the Italians shoe shop, which
was discovered on fire early the next

morning. Milano was arrested one hour
after the firemen had discovered the
body.
A series of tragic events followed
the arrest of AIilano. Miss Myrtle
Smith, twenty-four years old, a sister
% the murdered boy made an attack
on Milano at the inquest and scratched
his face severely before policemen
could intervene.
At the grave Miss Smith became hys-
terical and was confined IN the WASH
ington Asylum Hospital for several
days afterward as a result of the ner-
vous breakdown. Subsequently she
died as the result Of an overdose OF
poison.
Milano attempted to commit suicide
in the District jail on October q, fol-
lowing the commission OF the crime.
and since then has been closely guarded
by Jail officials.

going TO bring injury to the South. IL

feel about the cotton industry.
The cotton manufacturers all through
the South-in the CaTolinas and in
Georgia-are in pessimistic frame or
mind. They met recently at Columbus
and denounced the Underwood rates.
My prediction is that this bill will
first result in the curtailment of addi-
tional investments by capitalists. Then
our Southern cotton mills will begin
to run on part time
Finally. there will be complete shut
down. and thousands of our people will
be out of employment. The rates in the
Underwood bill are too low: unless the
Senate can be persuaded to increase
them / fear for the prosperity of those
who have welcomed the cotton mill in
our midst.
This is not my view alone. I am in
position to say that men who have
carital invested in the cotton mills in
our section are similarly alarmed. Al
ready there Is talk OF retrenchment,
and some of the leading operators have
ceased making improvements and are
gradually headin. toward the shut
down which will throw many Southern
people OFT of employment"
