Altbo Albert Navetta, partner OF
John Repense. who was found slain
in their store at No. 2l0 RUSSELL
St. Monday morning, insists that
Repense was the victim Of gunner.
police are inclined TO doubt his

on suspicion that he was responsible
for his partners death.
There were evidently no wit

dence against Navetta Ia purely cir
cumstantal the fact that he told
the police the killing had just oc-
Cured, when he notified them at
Z O'Clock Monday morning. whereas
the rigidity Of the body indicated
death had occurred some time be-
fore, first aroused suspicion.
