the finding of Salerno in the rear of c. H. Calor's factory on the morning of the murder. The man was bleeding profusely from numerous wounds which he had inflicted on himself af- ter killing his wife. MT. and Mrs. Costello's testimony concerned the shrieks of the woman during the early morning hours. The Costellos occu- pied the lower tenement in the build ing in which the murder was com mitted. Constable Marine had the confession of SalernO, who freely ad- mitted having slain the woman.
 States Attorney Alcorn's applica- ton to the grand jury for an indict- lnent was but the usual fOrmality in a murder case and has no bearing on the murdercr's fate. Saerno's coun- Sel, B. M. Holden. will make a plea of insanity if the case comes into court, and the defense will make every effort to show that the slayer is d raranoiac and was not responsible fo: his actions when the crime was com mittod.
 Carpenter Injured.
 William Neuhauscer is laid up at lis home on the Pennington road with several painful lacerations which he sustaineYd Monday while at work in. Hart's ice house.

It was at first thought that he had been fatally hurt, but examination revealed that while his injuries were of a painful char acter, they were not very serious.
 MT. Neuhausser is under the care of pr. J. C. Tanner.
