Barber About to Betray
Society Stabbed to
Death in Shop.
BOMB ARSENAL
FOUND BY POLICE
Italian Merchant, Also Victim of
Vendetta, Dying in
Hospital.

Marked with the peculiar gashes
which Carorrists use as the signs OF
their vengeance and warning of the
fate in rtore Cor all betrayers, Frank
Chimera was found dead in his barber
shop. at 307 East 95th St, yesterday
morning. his throat cut and his body a
mass Of stab wounds.
More important still, in the eyes oil
the police. was the discovery, less than
an hour later. Of secret compartment
i'm the shop filed with all the instru-
ments and materials necessary for the
manufacture Of improved bombs
After Assistant District Attorney
Murphy and some Of the best OF the
city's detectives had spent the entire
dow on the case enough evidence had
been discovered to show that Chlmera
was q member of one of the most pow
erful OF the dread Italian secret So
cieties. that he was on the point Oh re-
vealine some of it's secrets. that he was
killed to prevent lilS ulSNiooui' 'A'
the further purpose of giving notice 10
all Italians here that despite the efforts
made both in Italy and this country 70
destroy It's power the organization was
still able to infict its own death pen
atty.
The police are convinced that Chl-
nera. if that be his real name was
member in the inner councils or MS
own particular organization, and that
he himself had taken prominent part
in many Of its crimes. After the man
throat had been cut, gashes four inches
long were slit from each end OF the
month TO the corner Of each ear. In
the Italian murder societies these
gashes tell as plainly as printed woros
the story of betrayal OF the victims or
eanization by him. Besides these cuts
the slayers had satisfied their rage ana
hatred further by stabbing MN nine
times in the head and body.

for two brief dispatches from Cen

One of the dispatches was sent
from Ell Verjel and one from Gomez

said Gomez Palacio had been in
possession of the constitutionalists
since Thursday morning, but that
Ell Verjel would be maintained as
a base of military operations until
the railroad connecting it with Co
mez Palacio could be rebuilt.
This same dispatch urged Gen.
Manuel Chao, military governor OF
Chihuahua state, at Juarez, to rush
ht tavy supplies of building materials
with which to repair the railroad.
The federals attempted to- leave
Torreon for the South Thursday
morning, said the dispatch but were
driven back into the city. Villa also
reported that 5000 constitutional
lists. under General Maclovios Her.
rera had been sent eastward for the
purpose of making feint against

statement that the rebels would be
in possession of Torreon, together

She began to weep.

amid her tears. 81 would prefer a
thousand times that the campaign
had continued rather than l should
have killed NJ. Calrnette. 1t is i'm
possible to find in my act another
cause than that which ! have given
NJ. Boucard sought an explanation
of the discrepancies in Nine. Cailfa-
ux's recital before him and the story
she told the police.
"In attacking your husband" said
the magistrate, an. .Calmette was
fighting the politician, not the priv
ate citizen. Moreover, the letter
signed "Thy Joe" concerned another
woman"
. Eyes" responded the witness, "but
it was who succeeded that woman
as the wife of NJ. Caillaux. I will re-
call to you how NJ. Calmette in an
article OH March 16 bantered my
husband regarding the intimate ma
ture of this letter; and that is not
politics"
Nine. Cailfaux told the magistrate
that she had received on March IL
an anonymous letter which he had
since destroyed, informing her OF
the imminent publication of letters
concerning her.
Asked by NJ. Boncard to enlighten
him regarding the contents Of the
letters, the publication of which she
feared, Nine. Caillaux said they con-
cerned the private life Of her hus'
band and herself.
The inquiry iE.to the Rochette af-
fair by the special committee of dep
uties was practically concluded to,
day, and a report will be presented
to tie Chamber at an early date.
"Why did you buy a revolver,

about letters which you feared woult
be published?"
81 was prepared for eventualities,
Nine. Caillaux replied. "If he dit
not give me satisfaction I meant t.

The next question the magistrate
asked was "Then why did you no
