ALFREDO COCCHI
ADMITS MURDER
OFRUTH CRUGER
Italian Arrested at Bologna
Confesses Killing Girl Whose
Body Was Buried in Gel
lar at New York.

Bologna, Italy, June 23.-Alfredo
Cocchi, the fugitive New York motor
cycle dealer. abandoned today his pre-.
tense of innocence of the murder OF
Ruth Cruger and confessed his guilt
Jealousy was his motive. He was un-
able, he declared, to win her love and
became furious when she rebuffed his
persistent attentions.
The admissions of the young ltal-
ian, whose escape the New York po-
lice failed to prevent, were made in
tears after searching interrogation by
Judge Zucconi broke down Cocchi's
reserve.
Prior to this examination Cocchi
had cody and insistently maintained
he had known Miss Cruger only two
days before her disappearance in Feb
ruary when ..'e went to his shop TO
have skates -harpened and had de-
clared his conduct toward her was en-
tirely correct.
Cocchi Breaks Down.
Under Judge Zucconi's searching
questions today, however, Cocchi fin
ally burst INTO tears. He became so
agitated as his confession fell halt
ingly from his lips that the persons
surrounding him believed he was
about to have an epileptic fit.
then resumed the story of how the
18-year-old Waldeigh high school
graduate met death at his hands in
the building where her body was re-
Gently unearthed from the cellar.
After making up his mind to tell
the truth, Cocchi talked freely and
without reserve, gave full details OF
his crime, including the burial OF
Miss Cruger's body. After the con
fession had been completed the
Judge directed the clerk to read to
Cocchi the written report of his dep
osition. The prisoner said it was cor
rect and later signed it.
On returning TO his cell Cocchi
said to the prison attendants:
"At last | feel relieved. | have
freed myself from a nightmare which
tortured my conscience. Now | have
told everything and l am ready to
suffer any penalty.
Problem OF Extradition.
New York, June 23.-With the an
nouncement from Italy that Alfred
O. Cocchi had confessed to the mur-
der of Ruth Cruger, police efforts
here turned today to the problem
of having the motorcycle dealer
brought back to New York to face
trial.
District Attorney Swami announced
that he had conferred personally
here last night with Frank L. Polk,
counsellor Of the State department,
and was assured that the United
States would exert every energy to
have Cocchi returned to this country.
The authorities arc working on the
theory thats Cocchi had accomplices,
both in the commission of the crime
and in connection with his escape
from this country after eluding ill
vcstigators.2

Federal Commissioner Of Con.
CiIiation is Ordered Back to
Omaha as Result Of lO-
cal Conditions.

By order OF the United States De
partment of Labor, Oscar f. Nelson,
commissioner of conciliation OF that
department, has been hurried back to
Omaha from Denver to take hand
in the strike situation here,
Mr.. Nelson went to Denver week
ago after he had conferred with the
State Council of Defense at Lincoln
and with United States District At
torncy Allen to get the work of con-
citation started in the Omaha labor
situation.
81 think the attorney general has
undone all that had been done to-
ward affecting settlement OF this
strike" said Commissioner Nelson in
Omaha this morning.
IF he wanted to issue an injunc-
ton and felt that was the way to
bring about settlement there was
plenty of time before the meeting of
the State Board of Mediation and In
vestigation began its hearing, twas
an interesting coincident that the in-
junction should come only after this
board got into action
Widens the Breech.
There is no question but Mat he
has widened the brcech rather than
healed it by his unwarranted action.
Before ! left for Denver | went
to Lincoln and took the strike situa-
ton up with the State Council OF De-
fense. ! then suggested that il the
state council did not feel it could
hold public hearing on the subject
the State Board of Mediation and In.
vestigati6n should take it up. The
council concurrcd in my opinion and
recommended to the governor that
the board be called to hear the case
"Thc board did not convene until
Monday, June lS, and Immediately
the attorney general came forth with
his injunction to stop the hearing
though he had never mentioned in
junction in all the weeks of strike
troubles that had gone before for
nearly three months
To Await Developments.
Commissioner Nelson refused to
say what action he would take in the
matter. 1T will depend upon devel-
opments," he said But l have been
ordered back here by the department"
Attorney A. H. Bigelow for the
strikers appeared before Judge Les
lie and appealed for an immedi-
ate hearing of the injunction suit on
the grounds that the tension is daily
growing. Immediate hearing, how
ever, was not granted and the case
was set for Tuesday at o'clock.
