adage that murder will out was ex-
emplified here today, when the coun-
ty grand jury indicted a man on
charges Of having slain a drinking

The long dead victim was Antonio
Mario, who, the officers charge. was
murdered here in August, 1916 by John
Comporte, now Under arrest in New
ark, N. j. The revival of the II year
old murder charges were said by of
ficers to have been the result of in
formation provided by an Italian secret
society whose ennity Comporte had
incurred. He was indicted to facilitate
his extradition to California.
The report of the Staying by the
investigating police officer who since
has died, said the murder resulted
from an argument between Mario and
Comporte, ever which of the two was
the most popular with the women.
Comporte was said to have drawn a
knife and killed Mario.
Comporte had been convicted Of as
suit in the New Jersey city and was
