PltlOlMG f0a MERCY.
NAM IS BURIED ALIVE
Wife Who Saw II Afraid To
Tell Until Murderer
Was Jailed.

Batavia, N. Y, Nov. 26.--Luigl
Matroni was buried alive in the eel
lar of his home, near Corfu, in May,
1914, his body being trampled into
a newly made grave while he still
begged for mercy, according ITO a
story told by his widow to District
Attorney Coon here.
This afternoon Tntonio BOLIVIA, al
legged murderer, pointed out the spot
where the crime was committed, and
body was found which Mrs. Ma
troni identified as that of her hus-
band. BOLIVIA has confessed, the
District Attorney said.
BOLIVIA, who is Mrs. Matroni's SON
in-law, is serving a six months term
in the Monroe county penitentiary
for stabbing ARRAY. Mrs. Matroni
came here from Syracuse to tell the
story of the murder, which she de-
clared had been witnessed by her
and her young son, Charles.
Her long silence, she said. was
due to fear of BOLIVIA, who had
threatened a similar fate for her and
her son.
When she learned he was in pris-
on she felt safe to tell.
Mrs. Matroni said that her hus-
band was felled by = blow from a
pickaxe handle WELDED by BOLIVIA.
He was knocked unconscious, but
revived before the grave had been
dug in the cellar. He pleaded with
BOLIVIA for mercy just before he wa"
thrown into the pit and trampled un-
der the ground, she declared.
After hearing the woman's story
District Attorney Coon and Sheriff
Edgerton took BOLIVIA to the farm
where the Matronis formerly lived
BOLIVIA at first denied knowledge of
the murder, but later. District Attor-
ney Coon said, he confessed and told
the men where to dig.
They found the body under nine
feet of earth. the house having been
torn down and the cellar filled in af-
ter the Matronis moved away.
BOLIVIA killed Matroni. he told the
District Attorney. because after his
marriage to Matroni's stepdaughter
she told him that Metroni had at
tackled her the day before their we'd
ding.

These are dark days for the world.
The shadow of the war is heavier
than ever on all hearts, whatever
their sympathies. There is little ex-
ulation now even in victories, for
We know at what a price of blood
and pain every victory is won.
But there are many things besides
war in this world. Except for our
active imaginations, most of us
would feel like running on pretty
much as usual. There is the same
sunshine, the same life-giving air,
tie same autumn colors in the woods.
the same Joy in bountiful harvests.
There is the same quiet satisfaction
of soul that has always come with
the fall season, whether in the coun-
try or city. Here, in our American
isolation, we can live out our lives
in spite of wars and rumors of wars.
There is need, to be sure, of taking
thought for the future. preparing
against the time when war may bring
home to US the wretchedness that
We knew half century ago and that
Europe knows to-day. But that is n
matter of calm decision, not for
alarm and fear.
We are to-day the most fortunate
nation in the world. There is no rea-
son why We cannot continue so, 1t
is good time for the nation to take
to heart the philosophy that Us
preached so much to-day to individ-
uals-the philosophy of confidence,
of optimism, of positive thought. 1t
is right and proper that We should
feel the woes Of Europe, and it is
our duty to alleviate them all We
can. But it is wrong to let those woes
weight on our spirits until we lose
our own buoyancy and poise. 1t it
better to regard the war as a doctor
or u nurse regards sickness--as
something to be cured. whose care
can be effected not through out
bursts of sentimentalism but through
intelligent and cheerful service.
