confession and told story very slmi-
lar to her daughters confession OF
Wednesday morning. but when told
that her daughter had told the truth
about the affair she then admitted
that Tutera had been at the house
at the time stated ABOVE but she
would not admit he killed her hus-
band. All she would say was that 1t
was for the honor Of her daughter.
Mrs. BOnahEliO said that Lena and
her cousin had been like brother and
sister and that her cousin had been
very angry at his uncle for treating
his daughter the way he had. She
also stated that Lena had threatened
to take revolver with her on some
or the walks her father took her, and
when he tried to bother her kill him
To this plan Mrs. Bonanglio objected
as she was afraid that IL the girl
failed in her attempt to kill her
father. he would have killed both
her and her daughter.
Both Mrs. Bonafiglio and the girl
say they do not know where Tutera
went following his visit to their home
but they think he went back to Phoe-
nix so his alibi would be comp:5:e.
in that he could prove that he had
been at Phoenix Tuesday evening and
was also there Wednesday morning,
SO that the officers could not con
meet him with the crime.

The girl told story Wednesday
morning that she had killed her faith

ing this story to all who visited her
until late Wednesday afternoon when
a local Italian visited her and told
her that the officers know all about

then that she repudiated her confes-
sion and told the story of how she,
her mother and her cousin plotted to

Her second story was to the effect
that Tuesday her cousin, her mother

should announce that he had to 20
to Phoenix to deliver some papers
he had received few days before
from the old country. Following the
