of about an hour followed, and then police say, the youth admitted that he shot Miner "because he was going to beat me up for asking for some money" A typed confession was prepared and it is said that Cannarella signed this, but this was denied Sunday by the youth, it was said by persons interested in the matter.
 Attorney Nair was retained by the parents of Cannarella to defend him, and following a conference with the lawyer, the youth appeared to be confident that something would happen to save him. A denial of an alleged confession is said to have been made by the youth. and the police, having little except the al- legged confession, then began another search for witnesses to prove that Cannarella was the one who shot Miner. This search continued all day Sunday.
 The charge of murder was placed against Cannarella at o'clock Sat urday night, shortly after he had signed the alleged confession.
 One fact that had not been check ed up, up to now, was an alleged story told by Cannarella to the po- lice. He said that after he had re- turned to the business section, after shooting Miner, he called the oper- ator in the telephone building and told her Now get this straight" and told of a shooting in the Odd Eel lows building.
 .32 CaIibre Bullet Found
 Dr. John Purney, medical exam iner, performed an autopsy upon the body of Miner, and found one bull let, which was a .32 calibre size. A diagram of the body and exact points where the bullets entered was drawn and will be used as evil dence in the trial in the higher court. County Detective Edward Hickey was present during the au- topsy.
 The police, early Saturday morn ing, received information from Worcester, alleging that a son of MT. Miner, who lives in Fitchburg with his mother, was in jail. This was found to be untrue, and was a mistake made through nasty search of records and confusion of names. The son, Carl Miner. who came to this city to take charge of his fathers body, is a young man of good reputation in Fitchburg and is not the person whose name, some- what similar, was mixed up in a po- lice court case on file in Worcester.
 Cannarella insists that he tossed the gun into the Lock Shop pond, and described exactly the place where he tossed it, but police search ing yesterday were unable to find it.
 While there are two methods of locating the gun, neither will be tried, unless the police change their minds from their plan last night. One method is to drain the pond, which can be done except for a mar row stream in the center, and as the bottom of the pond conists of. thick, soft mud, the gun would probably be imbedded in the mud and not easily found. The other method is to lower powerful magnet to the bottom of the pond and drag with that.

Both White and Nelson were hold until after Cannarella had been caught and had made his alleged confession, when both were re- leased.
 Several boys were rounded up and questioned, and it was not until two of the pinboys at the Fratenal al leys had been questioned that the police had real clue. These boys were standing at the corner of Church and Main streets about a half hour after the shooting and young fellow came up to them and said If you say anything you will get yours, too." The boys attached no significance to the remark, and until they related the incident to Sergeant Ellinger they did not real ize that there was any connection between the youth who accosted them and the murder.
 Sergeant Ellinger grasped the sig nificance of the remark. He told the boys to say nothing to anyone but to make a careful search in the business SeCJlOH Ol tIe tlly anu tIle moment one of them saw the young fellow who spoke to them, to call the police.
