PLUMBER ADMITS
MURDER KNIFE HIS
Bartolini Also Testifies
Bloody Footprints in Slain
Widows Home Were His.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
DEDHAM, Mass, September 18.-
Under examination by his own coun-
sci today, Oscar " Bartolini, on trial
for the Staying of Mrs Grayce As
quith, testified bloody footprints found
in her Weymouth cottage were his.
He also identified as his one of two
knives the prosecutor contends were
used to dismember the slain widow.
Bartolini said he left his footprints
when helping Mrs. Asquith into the
bath room after she had fallen and
cut herself, and that he had removed
his shoes because they were wet.
District Attorney Edmund r. Dew
ing contended the bloody footprints
were made by the murderer while the
widows body was being hacked to
pieces.
On cross-eXamination, Dewing
asked Bartolini why he did not try to
get in touch with Mrs. Asquith after
September 20, 1886, the day on which
the prosecution contends the murder
occurred.
Bartolini answered: "BecaLse I
knew she was with Lyons"
John Albert Lyons. friend of the
murdered widow, was the object of an
international search for months after
the crime was discovered, but was
never found.
