American religious workers in the

cast from the Nippon-controlled

gious workers in the islands were
rounded up during the last week
and thrown into a civilian prison

engaging in espionage and subver-
sive propaganda that endangered

Uncovered by d Bomb r.
By JOHN CRANDALL

BECAUSE of what a recent ex-
x ploding British bomb revealed
- in Italy, new murder charges
may be made in the court of his
tory against the notorious medieval
gangster, Cesare Borgia.
This will be brilliant going if the
hiStorian-sleuths can make il stick,
for the crime occurred in the early
10th century and the bodies in the
morgue are 400 years old.
Raj bombers were over Viterbo,
81 miles north of Rome, blasting
railway yards and German ammuni-
ton dumps, when one of the bombs
fell short and regrettably wrecked
the ancient church of st. Francesca.
When Italian conservation experts
and German officers explored the
ruins, they found the huge marble
coffin of Cardinal Vicedomini, who
died in 1876, cluttered with debris,
but intact. They decided to move
it to safety, but it was too heavy
TO move in one piece. The lid, alone,
weighed more than half ton. They
took the heavy lid from the casket.
The cardinals body was there all
right, mummified and identifiable.
But crowded in with it were three
Otner urled DOdleS, TWO men ana
woman, all three plainly murdered,
since their heads were Dashed in.
They were clad in 10th century garb,
and from doubletS, hose and brocaded
dress, were obviously Of the nobility
Borgia and his infamous sister,
LucreZia, now are believed TO have
hidden Cesare's victims where only
(as he doubtless thought Gabriels
trumpet could find them.
More amazing than the discovery
itself, is the fact that the murder
mystery may not prove insoluble.
Historians, scientific detectives, por-
ing over old chronicles, not only lean
to the belief that it's a Borgia crime,
but are making shrewd guesses as
TO whose hand struck the actual
blow, and why; and who, precisely,
were the victims. Here is the way
historians reconstruct the crime:
BY 1904, Cesare Borgia was in fun
manhood, a powerful, swashbuckling
bully, brutal but brilliant and ruth
less-the head of a sort of private
Eestapo, which kept the Borgia fam.
lily in power by murders, assassina.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-06-11


plus the fact that he could
have. had ample opportunity 10 tam
per with the sarcophagus, convinces
the researchers that their reconstruc-
ton of the crime is not only plausible,
but probably true.
The finding Of the bodies was an
nounced in the Goebbcls controlled
Hamburger Fremdenblatt, accom-
panied by the usual anti.Ally propa.
ganda about deliberate British bomb
ing of sacred edifices."
A red herring was added, 10 the
effect that it couldn't have been
Borgia crime because the Borgias
used more refined family methods
For it happens that Cesare Borgia
was the model for Machiavellis
Prince" and is a pet hero of Hitler's.
The facts have now reached the world
through an independent correspond
ent by way Of Lisbon.
Murder will out" says the poet.
And the good people OF Viterbo, 10
whom the Borgia name is still ana
thema, are saying that the hand of
God directed that bomb even
though it hit a church.

him with a blunt inStru-
ment." However, the duke
was recovering, but when
Cesare learned Of this he
had him murdered without
provocation, it is said.
Fortunately, Cesare's luck
turned and 10 escape pun
jshment he fled 10 Spain,
where he was arrested and
spent two years in jail. In
1907 he was killed at the
siege of Viana, while serv-
ing in the army of his
brother-in-law, the King OF
Navarro.

1t was thus that the earlier muir
der of his own brother, Giovanni,
Duke of Gambia, had been brought
home to Cesare Borgia. 1t was one

Three years after killing his own
brother and having brutally con-

returned TO Rome in the summer OF
1900 where he participated in bull
fights and other festivities reminis-
cent of the ancient Roman orgies.
