Clever Piece of Work Lands Thomas
Debeoedetto Behind Bais
Through a clever piece of work
Thomas Debenedetto, who killed
Oatalto Manzarro at Cornelius,
supposably on the nisht of Jan.
5. was landed in the toils of the
law at Spokane, Monday, and
brought to the county jail by
Sheriff Hancock. Assoon as the
crime was known to the officers,
Sheriff Hancock went to Port
land and found out that all Ital
ians had their foreign mail sent
to Chicago in care of an Italian
bank. He wired the Chief of
Police of Chicaso to visit the
bank and see if the murderer had
mail there. The chief soon wired
Hancock that Debenedetto had
written the bank to hold his mail
until further notice. Later the
bank received notice that the
fugitive had written to send his
mail to Spokane, Wash., and
Hancock at once wired the chief
of police of that city. Deben
edetto called for his mail the
first of the week, and was taken
intocustody. Hancock left Mon
day evening for Spokane, and
had no trouble over extradition.
ueoeneietto nas admitted the
slaying, but claims he did it in
self defense.
The condition of the body does
not indicate that Debenedetto
will have an easy time to sustain
the self defense theory, as the
victim's skull was crushed in by
a blow from a mattock, and the
wound penetrated the base of his
skull.
The slayer is a young fellow in
his twenties, - and the two men
had been working on the S. P.
section, and lived together in a
boxcar, where the killing was
effected. The Prisoner talks fair
English. He will doubtless be
indicted and tried at the March
term of circuit court.
John Schlegel, of near Banks,
was in the city yesterday, and
called on the Arpus. His daugh
ter, Miss Rose Schlegel, is visit
