day of cities of more than loo,OoV

mcnt average of the country as
whole was about per cent.

percentace of iobless when the CEN

ton of 101 AZ there were 5,444 per
sons. or "a per cent, out of work
and seeking employment.
Detroit led the larger cities with
1873, or per cent of its popula-
ton.
New York City's total of pa, Sol
was the largest numerically, but rep
resented only 81 per cent of the

or 4.3 per cent. Philadelphia, the
third largest city, had less unem-

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. T. (U.H
-Spur1ed by the fear that death
may come to seal the mystery, police
listened closely today to the nut
tcrings of Giovanni Marcelli, 20,
hermit, who was beaten almost to
death yesterday at his shanty in
Visitacion valley.
With only his scmi-dolirious an
swers to guide them, they struggled
to unravcl a maze of contradictions
that have developed since the aged
man was found, bruised and bleed
ing, in his ransaeked quarters.
The old mans testimony is so
sharply at variance with tha2 Of
neighbors.
1t was first supposed that three
assailants had come after the aged
recluse s "hidden gold,' and had
tortured him into unconsciousness,
beating him over the head with
rolling pin and potato mashcr, then
set about Systematically wrc"king
the house in search of the hoarh.
When police arrived, the paper had
been torn from the walls, rugs and
flooring uprooted, the walls them
selves honeycombed with large
holes, as though explored with a
heavy instrument for hollcw places.
According to the story Narcclli
told when revived, two young men
and a young woman tiHeatened
him with a revolver, then tied him.,
tortured him by twisting his feet
and legs, beat him with The rolling
pin and potato masher, then tore
up the house in search of the money
His description of his assailants
as call young; the girl kind Of
pretty was at odds with that
given by Mrs. Josephine Albert,
neighbor. Mrs. Albert said she saw
a small, slight man and black
haired woman. both dressed like
working people, leave a small ca.
and go into the house, taking a 10
year-old girl with them.
Bearing out the theory that his
assailants were not strangers, neigh
bors agreed that Marcelh once ac-
companied them out of the house
and to the gate, that all then con
ferred for short time, then re-
entered the house. Marcoll could
easily have summoned neighbors
then, it was pointed out, had the
visitors been strangers Of whom he
was afraid.
Seeming, however, to bear out
the theory of robbery, police records
disclosed that Marcelli's home had
been ransacked a year ago, appar-
mattresses cut to ribbons, appar-
emily in search of money. On both

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 4,-There were only
10 murders of persons more than one

district in 1929, compared with an ave-
rage of % during the past two years, the
annual report Of Lord Byng, chief COM
missioner of the metropolitan police,
shows.
While a decline Is noted as remark
able, the report points out the facts
that the proportion of undiscovered
culprits is unusually nigh, there being
four such last year. These include the
malefactors in the notorious Sidney
poisoning case at Croydon in which
three persons were killed.
Cases of manslaughter were nearly
double the number of 1923. with the in
crease attributed to motoring. Drunken
ness showed a substantial decrease, the
charges being 23,569, or 2,48S fewer
than in 1928. Gambling increased, and
there were more arrests than in any
year since 1924
There were 1864 offenses of all kinds
on which indictments were rendered, an
increase of i,778 over the 1923 figure
The total of those killed by automo-
biles was 1852, the highest in history.
