SUSPECT ACCUSED
BY DECKER FREED
Grand Jury Refuses to Indict
'Dago John" in In
diana Killing.

WARSAW, Ind, March 24.-when
the Kosciusko County grand jury
met today to begin its investigation
of the Decker murder mystery. John
InvaGnolia. of ,Elkhart. known here
as ''Dago John, was one of the frs;
witnesses. The Italian who was ar
rested following Virgil Decker's
statement on Tuesday that "Dago
John" was guilty of the murder was
released following his testimony be-
fore the grand jury.
In his last confession made at
midnight Wednesday. Decker again
asserted that il was he who killed
Leroy Lovett and that Invagnoiia
was innocent. Decker now claims
that he killed Lovett with an iruu
bar while he and Lovett were fight
ing in a cottage on the Tippecanoe
River near Atwood. He claims that
the fight started after he and Lovett
had drunk a quantity of liquor whicn
they brought from Elkhart.
Local officers, who have been in
vestigating the mystery. have at no
time believed Dago John guilty.
The grand jury session is behind
locked doors and it is expected that
very little will be known of the evil
dence until the srand jury completes
its inquiry and returns its indict-
ments against Virgil Decker and any
others who may be found to have
been implicated

A milder-than-usual winter gives

watsont emphasized the falsity Of
what he termed a general belief that
there Is no loss when the property
destroyed by fire Is covered by in
