vestigation of the murder of Angelina
Constance. Z. took Il new turn yeste"-
day, when suspicion centered upon her
10-year-old cousin, William Saltarelli.

questioning by police, and told how he
had accidentally discharged the shot
gun with which Angelina was killed
Monday while she slept. and then ran
away to hide while detectives tried to

had breakfasted with his father Mon

him to go next door and rouse the
little girl for school. While he was
bringing Angelinas clothing to her
bedside, he said, he brushed against
the shotgun, which was discharged as
it fell, killing the girl.

stayed there only few moments. then
ran away and stayed out until II
o'clock at night. Most Of that time. he
said. he spent in motion picture the

Diaggio Arsenic. 62, was arrested
after Angelina's mother had discovered
her child's body. but he denied charges
by the police that he had killed the
girl as the outcome of family fued.
Story Held Plausible.
Saltarelli's father had told detectives
that his family consisted of himself,
his wife and daughter. but a photo
graph of William found in the apart
ment led suspicion to the boy.
After he had told his story to de.
tectives the boy was taken to Ange-
lina's bedroom to re-enact the tragedy.
Seventy-f1ve mourners were In the
apartment grouped about the bier Of
the child victim. When the boy had
demonstrated how the shotgun fell de-
tectives said his story was very
plausible"
Saltarelli was charged with homicide

Hoover in Nebraska, when the gener-
al election rolls around.
There Is large German-American
vote in Nebraska. Before the war
many Of these voters were in the Dem.
ocratlc ranks, and most of them are
wet In sentiment. There is further
a large Irish-American element in the
State. These foreign extraction ele.
ments DO not cotton to Hoover or to
Hughes because they both were fav.
orable, In principle at least, to the
League of Nations and the World
Court. The support given the World
Court by Senator Norris during the
last Congress, however, has taken the
sting to some extent from the World
Court end of this argument against
Mr.. Hoover and Mr.. Hughes.
1918 Is Remembered.
Some Of the old line Republicans
are still talking about the agreement
OF Mr.. Hoover with President Wilson
in 1918 that a. Democratic Congress
should be electeds and about the SEEM
Ing uncertainty. for a time, of Mr.
Hoover as to whether he would be
candidate for President on the Demo
cratic or Republican ticket in 1920.
These criticism OF the Secretery of Com
nrerce, however. arc much less strong
than the feeling that he has not been
the friend Of the farmer. @
Nebraska is a Republican State.
generally speaking. although today it
has a greater number Of Democratic
members of the House than, Repub-
l1can. Until the nominations are
actually made for President, it is too
early to make any prediction as to
how the State will go in the national
election next year. Much will depend
upon the standard bearers named by
the two old parties. If the Republi-
cans name a candidate who can re-
ceive the support of the two Senators,
Norris and Howell, he should win in
this State. If, on the other hand, a
candidate was picked by the G.. o. p.
who was frowned upon by them, or
by Senator Norris alone, the shedding
would be rough.
May Influence Wisconsin.
Republicans here for the most part
have reached the CONCLUSION that
President Coolidge is out of the pic
ture for the presidential race next
year. They accept his statement that
he does not choose to run as final.
II Senator Norris name is presented
to the voters here in the presidential
primary next year, as now appears
probable. 1t is likely to have its bear
ing upon the situation in Wisconsin,
where the Progressiyes are trying to
make up their minds whether to seek
a delegation instructed for Norris or
an uninstrtcted delegation. The ques-
ton in Wisconsin has been whether
Senator Norris would object to having,
his name brought forward as a presi.
dental candidate. 1t is not expected
here that if Senator Norris name be
presented for consideration in the
presidential primary any other Repub.
Ticar1 candidate will care to file. No
outsider, it is said., would have a
chance against the Senator.
