brewery. Judge Rdmond Wnddlll In
the Federal Court at Norfolk yester?
day continued the beating of the ;\r
gumcut on' the motion for a resale of
Ihe brewery. The case probably will
be taken up again Monday.
J Thi> motion for a resale of the brew
levy was made before Judge Waddlll
lust week by the counsel for the
bondholders and creditors of Ihe old
brewing company and resulted from
Ihe failure of the ptese.il brewing
company to meet the second payment
on the plaiR, M that time the judge
slated that he bought it would be In
advisable to order n resale nt this
time because of lh.0 condition of the
money market and nUgg'estcd that Ih'o
present holders and creditors get to?
gether and come to some agreement
with the purchasers, So fur as can
bo learned no agreement has been
reached.

CONFESSES TO HAVE
KILLtD DOZEN PEOPLE
Italian Alleged to Have Recited Hor?
rible Crime to Establish Right to
Join Black Hand.
DENVER, COIi., Jan. 22.?The Ho
publican today prints an alleged con?
fession secured by an Italian detoc
live from Antono Neronl alias Ravori.
shhfgbd with the murder of four Ital?
ians, three men and one womnn. at
Florence, Col. The detective Is
Krank Sandesko, of Pueblo, who ac?
cording to the story, gained the con
[Hence of Neronl, who Is now con
lined in the county Jail at Canon City,
liy pretending to be a niemW r of the
Dl?Ck hand society from Pitts-burg, |
Pa.
The two were permitted to converse
i^vr j..*.* ?
in a cell In the jail, Sandesko explain?
ing his presence there by telling Nor
onj that he was being held on a charge
of murder committed I? Omaha. Dur?
ing (he conversation Neronl expressed
a desire to belong to the black hand
and when Sandesko (old him that it
was necessary for him to prove that
he had committed twelve murders be?
fore he could be admitted, Neronl re?
plied that he was eligible. Sandesko
elates th?t Neronl then related to him
a series of murders be had committed
beginning with the'killing of a neigh?
bor who had aliased him In Italy when
he was about twelve years old.
The narntlvo gradually brought him
to recital of details connecting with
the disappearance of the four Italians
at Florence. Snndesko says that Ner?
onl confessed that ho killed the w-jman
I?'Cause she would not many him and
disposed of three men In a most Ilm?
tal fashion because he believed they
suspected him of murdering the
woman. It was Iiis Intention, San?
desko said, to kill the wife and two
children of one of ills victims, nlso.
but the opportunity did ?<>t present
itself before he was arrested.
