CONFESSES TO MURDER OF GIRL
Italian Who Escaped From y. \. Tells
of Killing Ruth Cru@er.

Bologna, Italy. June 23.-AItEeo
Cocchi, the fugitive New YORK motor
cycle dealer, abandoned today Ills
pretence of innocence OF the murGel
of Ruth Cruger. and confessed his
guilt. Jealousy was his motive. He
was unable, he declared, to win her
love and became furious when she
rebuffed his persistent attentions.
The admissions Of the young lta;-
ian, whose escape the New York po-
lice failed to prevent, were made IN
tears after searching interrogation
by Judge Zucconi broke down Coo
chi's reserve Prior to this exam
ination Cocchi had coolly and insls-
tently maintained he had known MISS
Cruger only two days before her dis
appearance in February, when she
went to his shop to have her skates
sharpened and had declared his con-
duct toward her was entirely correct
Greatly Agitated.
Under Judge Zucconi's searching
questions today. however, Cocchl Il
nally 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.
He was granted time to recover
and then resumed the story OF no"
the Wadleigh high school graduate
met death at his hands in the build
ing where her body was recently un'
earthed 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.
Confirms Report.
After the confession had been COM
pleted the judge directed the clerk
to read to Cocchi the written report
of his deposition. The prisoner said
it was correct and later signed it.
On returning to his cell Cocchl
said to the prison attendants:
Eat last l feel relieved. l have
freed myself from a nightmare which
tortured my conscience. Now have
told everything and l am ready to
suffer any penalty
Judge Zucconi questioned an Am
erican woman, relative of Miss Cru
ger, who came. here for the pur'
pose of giving testimony concerning
the motive for the crime and the cir
cumstances under which it was com
mitted. The name and address OF
this woman have not been ascertain
ed.
Cocchi admitted that the murder
had been preceded by an assault. He
had denied this, previously.
