FOR DEAD Children
Sees Forms Lowered in Vault
Wrought by Her
Own Hand
EXHUME OTHERS
FOR REINTERMENT

NEWARK, N. j., Jan. A littfa
woman. poorly dressed, her shoulders
bent with years Of labor. her toll
worn hands folded and the tears roll
ing down her wrinkled cheeks, stood
IN the cemetery IL the Holy SepulchTO
and watched the bodies of four Of her
small children lowered into a vault.
which she had built herself so they
might rest beside a seventeen-ysap-
old son, who died last September.
As the remains Of the four little
ones, who died long ago, In one littia
coffin were lowered into the candle-
ut, nowerbedecked vault, while a
priest intoned prayers, the mother
turned away, murmuring that now
she would have time TO renew her
search for the bodies of six other
children, who are buried somewhere
in the same cemetery.
The woman is poor. but for years
she saved money 80 that she might
buy the material necessary to bu Id
the family tomb. Rain or shine. she
has labOred daily on the vault. oeas-
ing her labors only when she wss
washing or house-oleanlng, the work
that supplied the cement and other
materials which. with the occasional
aid OF male relatives and the cemo
terry employees, who worked with her
during their dinner hours she has
made into the last earthly home OF
her eleven children who lie in the To-
cal cemetery. A twelfth lies in a
New York grave. They were all she
had.
The woman is Mrs. PhilOmena Tor
relli, OF 56 Hayes street. She is forty
eight years old, but looks nearly six
/ ty. For many weeks she has mixed
cement and built up the strong walls
which she hopes in time will inclose
the mortal remains Of her family and
herself when she comes to share the
| long sleep with them
Mrs. Torrelli reluctantly admitted
that her husband, a laborer, did not
sympathize with her work and never
had come to the cemetery to help her
The husband. Mrs. TOrrelli said
does not have steady work ANY
way, we have suffered together. and
we will sleep here with the children
she said. "I have worked hard all
my life. and when this job is done
maybe I get rest here very soon"

The investigation which preceded
Smalrs arraignment disclosed indis-
putably that Mrs Small had been
murdered. and the finger Of suspicion
swung quickly to her husband.
The fact, brought out in his defence,
that he had left Mountainview for
Boston several hours before the fire
broke out, was parried by the State
with its disclosure OF the apparent
use OF time fuse and bomb.
No other suspect was found. A
drunken guide, three Boston business
men and a tramp all established
faultless alibis.
The preliminary hearing, held in a
lodge hall at Mountainview. crowded
with villagers hostile to the defend
ant for Florence Small was well-be
loved in the picturesque little hamlet
brought out amazingly brilliant
arguments by the opposing counsels

jury which indicted him December 8
