beautiful young woman known as
COncetta, workmen Under the direc-
ton of Coroner lies and the sheriff
continue digging up the yard in the
rear of Charles Bombara's hotel on
the Tarrytown road today.
Concetta is said to have been used
by band of men known as the muir
der syndicate" to lure victims to their
death, and the authorities believe she
was finally killed by the syndicate"
for fear she would reveal their opera
tons. The murder syndicate" is be-
ieved to have been responsible for
the death of a half dozen persons.
Pietro Robacci, awaiting execution
in Sing Sing. is said to have made a
confession declaring that Concetta
was murdered the same night Philipo
Carida was slain.
She brought Carida to her room, it
is said, understanding that he was
merely going to be asked to give up
certain information. Instead he was
killed as he held the young woman in
his arms. Fearing her anger the
members then took her life.
