ITALIAN PRIEST SLAIN
 BY HIS OWN BROTHER
Recovery of Famous Art Treasure in Rome Dis
 closes Murder.

Rome, March 25. S:25 D. m, via Paris, March 26. 30 a. m-Recover::7 by the police of a famous art treasure stolen from the parish church of Mas sa DAlbe, after it was destroyed by the earthquake last January, has dis closed also that the parish priest was murdered by his brother, according to adVlceS from Avezzno.
 When the ruins of the church were explored after the disaster it was, found that noted Byzantine Trip tych executed on ivory. used as an al- tar piece, and other religious objects were missing. Their value. was fixed at a large sum.
 The police now claim to have learned that when part of the church was wrecked the priest was buried with the art treasures in a section of the building which remained stand- ing because it's massive walls were part of an old fort built on solid rocic.
 The priest was slain, the autho ori- ties assert, by his brother, who sus- pected the ecclesiastic of being friend- ly with his wife. This man, it is as- serted, found the clergyman lying helpless under the ruins, and killed him with the assistance of friends, who then removed the art objects. An intercepted letter led to the discovery of the crime, and all those suspected of being involved have been arrested.

DECISION RESERVED
 IN FLAWS APPEAL
Two Justices Doubt if New York Has Right to "POunCc" Upon Mattea-
 wan Fugitive.

New Y ork, March 26.-Two justices of the appellate division of the su- preme court agreed today that there was d doubt in their minds whether the state of New York would be with in it's rights in bouncing upon Harry Kendall ThaW, after his acquittal here on the conspiracy charge on which he was eXtradited from New Hamp- shire, and returning him to the state hospital for the criminal insane at Matteawan.
 They were Justice Ingraham, pre- siding, and Justice Scott To voice their views they interrupted Frank lin Kennedy, special deputy attorney general in charge of the states case against Thaw, while. he was arguing before the appellate division against an appeal taken by Thaw's counsel from a decision of Supreme Court Justice Page refusing a motion to re- turn ThaW to New Hampshire.
 Counsel for Thaw had already pre- sented their arguments, which were based upon the contention that Thaw, having been eXtradited from New Hampshire to answer d charge of con- spiracy and having been freed of that charge, should be returned forthwith to the state from which he was eN tradited.
 MT Kennedy then began his argu- mentS which were based upon the Contention that even though ThaW had been acquitted of the charge against him, the fact remained that he was now within New Works jurisdiction: and that as the original commitment upon which he was sent to Matteawan was still valid he should be returned there
 MT. Kennedy referred to the var ious decisions finding Thaw insane.
 Upon the conclusion of the argu- ments, which were brief, decision was reserved. It was considered prob able by attorneys connected with the case that the decision would be hand ed down during the next week.
