CONFESSES HE KILLED MAN
Rocco Cooantonio Railroad Night Watehman, Gives self Up to New London Police Says He Fired Upon Giuseppe Doncicco in Self Defence Body Was Found Beside Railroad Tracks in New London Yard

A voluntary sconfession made Sat- urday morning by Rocco Coloantonio,. i7. employed by the New Haven road as a night watchman at Hallam street in New London. solved for the New London police mystery that had pug zled them since the dead body. of Gui- seppe Donciccc. s5. was found about 1o.s0 Friday night near the Hallam street crossing.
 Coloantonio confessed that 1t was he who killed Doncicco. but said that he did it in self defense after three cicco. ColoantoTio came to the police Station with his boss and was anxious evidently to give himself up and to tell the story.
 feCaptain Haven called an sItalian barber from a nearby shop and he under the natural excitement of the situation. could not speak coherently in EnElish He freely admitted the shooting and said 1t was in self de- fense. He was locked up and Cor
 oner Brown was notified by phone.
 Told the Coroner.
 Coloantonio told, Coroner Brown that there had been. bad feeling be- tween Doncicco. and himself. About week ago, according to Coloantonio's
 story, Doncicco. who was employed by the eJ. E. Fitzgerald Co, contractors came to him and said all the Italians at work on the improvements in Easi New London ought to strike. Colo antonio had formerly been employed with the section gang but had beer made night watchman at Hallam stree near where the new trestle spanning Winthrop cove is being erected, anC he told Doncicco that as he was nc
 longer working with the gang h, wouldn't strike but would stay al work. as he needed the money for hi. family.
 At this Doncicco became greatly en, ranged and swore to get even. He tolt iColoantonio that the latter's son. whS was in the section gang, must stril1, and promised to have vengeance i he didn't Doncicco said he would get Coloantonio and his son, but Colo antonio said the threats didn't worr. 1 him much.
 Friday night about 1O.30 he said h. was in his shanty at Hallam stree
 on duty when he heard someone nov l ing about outside. About week az | there had been theft there. $5z wort
 of stuff being taken, and he suppose,
 this was another visit from thieves
 who planned tc carry of some of tn
 material piled there.

HAND SHATTERED

Three shpta Were .FIred.

He called to ask who. it was and the response was three shots in rapid succession. The bullets whiEzed by and Coloantonfo drawing his revolver the man. whosin the darkness he could not distinguish, run about 20 feet and then drop to the ground. He went to the spot where the man had fallen and found that it was Doncfcco and that the shot had been fatal Then he threw his revolver in the river.
 Coloantonio then called a crossing tender and told him that a man was dead over by the tracks. They got d lantern and went to look at the body. Police headquarters were notified and Lieut.. Thomas Jeffers in turn notified Medical Examiner pr. Harry M. Lee, who went to Hallam street at once. pr. Thomas Soltz, city physician. also went to the scene.
 Fatal Wound in Right Breast. E Doncicco had his revolver in his right hand firmly clutched as he fell to the ground. The bullet, which had killed him. had entered the right passed upward.
 Coloantonfo made no mention to the medical examiner or the police of the circumstances which led to the death of Doncicco. His silence and the in- ability to find anyone who had heard any shots or seen anything suspicious lent mystery to the fatality.
 Eight dollars and ten cents was Il found in the dead mans pockets which dispelled the theory that he might have been shot by a wayfarei with robbery as the motive. Nothins pointed toward anyone as guilty of the affair and Coloantonio was not sus- ! pected. because he apparently had ac. cidentally come across the body and
 then had notified the police, not q likely act for a guilty man
 Held in Jail.
 After Coroner Brown had talked fol
 an hour and a half with Coloantonit on Saturday he ordered him remandet to the county jail and he was taker there in the police patrol by Ofice
 James D. Gaffney. While there ma,
 be some delay in the proceedings, it |
 probable that the hearing in the DO lice court will be held today. as ther, are no complications in this as in tn, average case.
 Little is known by New London Italians of either of the principals il
 this tragedy. Doncicco is said to havl
 been a man of fiery temperament witt a leaning toward agitation such as tn
 strike movement with which he i U credited by Coloantonio.

No Bid on Hogs

At sale held near Grangeville
recently it is stated that no bid
was made when the hogs were
put up for sale. This by reason
of the fact some assert that the
market conditions of hogs this
fall have not been altogether sat

making it almost prohibitive as a
paying proposition to feed it to
hogs. A great deal of blame has
been placed on market conditions
on the coast and the attitude a.
mong coast packers this fall to
depress hog prices, and some of
the opinions expressed in this
matter have been very outspoken
in the direction mentioned. At

That Camas prairie is not to be
given over entirely to grain grow
ing and stock raising is becoming
known more and more as time
passes and in spite of the fact
that many say this country will
never amount to much as dairy
section others still have hopes of
making this industry pay fine re-

laying the foundation now for
future excellent herds of dairy
cattle.
In line with the above decision
Mrs. Anthia Huff, of this place,
this week purchased a fine regis

is to conduct the club along SINH

thereby make it attractive to old
