Mr.. Laughton, who got the
award last year for THE Private

ROMEO CITED
AS SLAYER Of
ACTRESS

LONDON, July IT, d.N.s0
Tony Mancini, q waiter whom
police describe as a seaside
Romeo. was formally charged at
Brighton today with the murder
Of Mrs. Violette Saunders, an
actress known on the British stage
as Violette Kaye, and also
known as Violette Watson.
The charges against Mancini
were lodged under his real name
Of Jack Notyre.
The body Of Mrs. Saunders was
found Sunday in a trunk in the
room ut Brighton where Mancini,
or Notyre. had lived for several
weeks.
Scotland Yard arrested Mancini
today.
Mancini was found early today
on Blackheath, the large open
space in southeast London. 1t
was Mancini who, for the past
six weeks, had been living in the
room in Barnard's Kemp Street
rooming house in Brighton with
the large trunk which contained
the body Of the actress.
Quizzed in No. l.
BY one of the strangest CO.
medicines in British criminal an
nails, Mancini had been arrested
and questioned in connection
with Brighton's trunk murder
No. /, the still unidentified female
torso found in a trunk in the
check room Of Brighton's Central
Station on June IT.
Endeavoring to clear up the
mystery Of the troso in the trunk
(the legs later were found in
London but the head and arms
have not been foun6 police me-
ticulouSly investigated all cases
OF missing women.
Violette Kaye, who had been liv-
ing in Brighton under the name
Of Mrs. Watson, was one Of the
missing women.
Investigation led police to arrest
Manciri for questioning as a
close friend OF the actress. How
ever, when they found that the
Kaye woman was slim (the torso
was that Of a heavy woman) they
let Mancini 60.
Body Revealed
Only q few days later Violette
Hayes body was found in a trunk
in the Kemp Street rooming
house in the very room which
had been occupied by Mancini.
The presence Of brown wrap
ping paper similar to that in
which was found the torso in the
Central Station a month before,
a bloodStained knife, and the
Ratchet Violette Kaye was slain
with. led the police to connect
the two cases.
According to a Soho girl, Liza
de Kornel, who formerly knew
Mancini, he had recently come
from the United States.
