BAFF MURDER CASE
BEFORE JURY TO-DAY
ArichiellO, on Trial for Ills
Life. Says Police Beat Him
TO Get Confession.
SURPRISES OWN LAWYER

Giuseppe Arichielio. IN trial for his
life on a charge OF numbering Barnet
Ban, a West Washington Market poul-
tryman in November. 1914. will know
his fate to-day. Justice Shearn. In the
Supreme Court. Criminal Term. before
whom he Is being tried. will charge the
jury this morning. Counsel mad their
ANAL arguments yesterday.
Arichieilo took the stand as his only
witness and ~recanted two confessions he
made to the police M District Attor-
ney Swami. He admitted that he had
signed some documents after he had
been taken to Police Headquarters. By
way OF explanation he said he was taken
to a cell In the basement OF Headquar-
tiers. where he was beaten until he
agreed To- tell any story that would
tend TO clear UP the mystery surround
ing the killing Of Ban.
When the case opened yesterday the
defendant was called to the stand by
his counsel. William @. Kier. As his
questions were put to the witness II
became apparent that the lawyer was
surprised. at the The examl-
nation had not gon far when kier
asked the defendant II he had shot at or
killed Ban. as the confessions showed.
lie said that ne had not and that he
had never killed "A man in his life. He
kept repeating that he had been beaten
into lying about himself, as being a
member OF the party that went down
TO the market and killed Ban. BY way
OF explanation he said he had told a
story given him by Detectives Do Mar
tint and Banana. who had arrested him.
NJ the end Of the case for the defence
the prosecution called policemen who
swore the prisoner had voluntarily told
his story and that at no time was he
threatened or beaten.
Counsel took only a short time to re-
view the evidence. Arichiello's lawyer
referred to him as a rat without the
slightest semblance OF brains" and said
that Carmine dl Paolo. a witness against
him. should be a defendant. as he had
been hired to shoot Ban.
Assistant District Attorney O'Malley
insisted that the prosecution of the de-
PENDANTS under arrest was the opening
wedge to get AZ the bottom OF the con-
spiracy to nave Ban murdered. The
man really higher up is yet to be
caught he said.
