JALOFPS Y , "The Style Store" 537 V v Commercial Street WATERFRONT ITEMS The Harbor Presents Nearly an Empty Appearance. GAINED BY DECEIT. DENVER, Jan. 22. The Repub lican today prints an alleged confes sion secured by an Italian detective from Antone Neroni, alias, Favori charged with the murder of four Italians, thre men and one woman at Florence, Colo. The detective is Frank Sandesko of Pueblo, who, ac cording to the story, gained the con fidence of Neroni, who is now con fined in the county jail at Canon City, by pretending to be a member of the Black Hand Society from Pittsburg, Pa. The two were permitted to con verse in a cell in the jail, Sandesko explaining his presence there by tell ing Neroni that he was being held on the charge of murder committed in Omaha. During the conversation Neroni expressed a desire to belong to the Black Hand and when- Sandes ko told him that it was necessary for him to prove that he had committed 12 murders before he could be ad mitted, Neroni replied that ht was i:;i,i- C-r,,lcV :! th.it Wroni then related to him a series of mur ders he had committed, beginning wth the killing of a neighbor who had abused him in Italy when he was but 12 years old. The narrative gardually brought him to a. recital of details connected with the disappearance of the four Italians at Florence. San deske says that Neroni confessed that he killed the woman because she would not marry him and disposed of the three men in most brutal fash ion because he believed they sus- neciea mm 01 muruennit m It was his intention, Sandesko says, to kill the wife and two children ot one of his victims also but the oppor tunity did not afford itself before he was arrested.

He noticed several times that he was being eyed askance, and wherever he wc,nt he was stared at and pointed out. "That's him, looks like MS pic ture, don't he?" "I wonder what he's doing here?" and such expressions fell on his ears. The office of the Occident was haunted during the day by several prominent citizens and when he reached the hotel for dinner the place was filled. He noticed that when he was introduced to a gentle man, a disappointed look would cross the face of the introduced,, and lie would excuse himself at the earliest possible moment. The secret was out when a certain politician of this city, . . . s not waiting tor an introduction ad dressed the captain as follows: 'Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Taft, but my time is very valuable. Can I talk with you a moment?" The4 aforesaid p. p. turned pale when "I am not Mr. Taft; I am Capt. Thomson of the Claverdon, I beg your pardon," burst on his ears and he huricdly departed, lb seems that same brother skippers noting the verymarked resemblance of the sea-faring man to the possible presidential nominee spread the story that the secretary was in Astoria, in cognito, and today there are some sheepish and disappointed men in town.
