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.

Capt. Thomson, of the Claverdon,
was a much puzzled man yesterday.
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.
