Report from the opposing sides as
to other battles show grave discrepan
cies. British military officers who for
ars liuve made a specialty of study
ing Balkan military preparations lean
to a belief that the Turkish army has
been holding the line betweeu Adri
anople and Kirk Kilisseh w ith cover
ing u force of TO.Ouo, and that the main
Ottoman army is only Just due on the

This might account frr a Turkish i

wlth the arrival of its main army at
the front, Turkey expected to take the

whether Sam Schepps was or was not
an accomplice. He was in doubt, him-
seir. on this point, he said, and there-

He ruled that Rose, Webber and
Vallon were accomplices, but that up-
on their testimony Becker could not
be convicted of murder In the first de-
sre.e, even though the evidence show-
ed he instigated the murder. Becker
j sat unmoved while the charge was
delivered. The Jury retired at 1:35.
DECREES DEFINED.
After instructing the jury that the
defendant must be presumed Innocent
until proven beyond reasonable doubt
i that h' is guilty, the justice defined
j the different regrees of murder,
j "The killing of a human being," he
said, "can be considered as murder,
manslaughter and excusable homicide.
. There can be no verdict of excusable
homicide, and 1 do not consider that

Nick Sarari Killed in Under
world Quarrel Over Her
Possession Last July.
Chicago, Oct. 24. Charity workers
Jn the segregated district here threw
some light on the history ot Jennie
Cavaglieri, who lived here as Rosie
Brunc. She had appealed to them for
protection from the life she was lead
ing and had asked help to establish
herself in better surroundings.
Information she gave the charity
workers is in possession of govern
ment agents of the department of
justice, who gained therefrom new
knowledge concerning an intermit
tent traffic o women. Joe Bruno,
with whom she lived here, was named
in her story. It was disclosed that in
a fight over her possession, Nick Sa
rari, a resident of the restricted dis
trict was killed last July 4. She had
lived at Sararl's house and Bruno took
her to the house of a man named Mer
ino. Sarari came to claim her and
Merino shot him dead.
M.AVEK CONFESSES.
Bridgeport, Conn., Oct. 24. After
being questioned by detectives and
state policemen for several hours last
night Joseph Buotiomo of Chicago, ad
mitted that the reason he killed his
common law wife, Jennie Cavaglieri,
was because she had refused to go
back to Chicago and live with him.
1 until last night he
had steadfastly
maintained that he did not know what
he was doing, being drunk when he
with the four other men took her in
an automobile to a cemetery near
Putney and shot her to death.
He Bald that he had lived with the
woman In Chicago for the last four
months and that this week she was
found to be missing. He went to New
York and being unable to find her
there, came to Bridgeport to see his
friend Frank Pizischillo, thinking ho
might have seen her in Bridgepor,
and told Blonomo he could locate her.
Arrangements were made and the au
tomobile ride with Its fatal ending
resulted. Buonomo denied that thq
shooting was in any way prompted by
revelations the dead woman is said
to have made concerning the white
slave traffic in Chicago. He said the
only reason he shot her was that she
would not live with him.
POLICE IIOI.I) TO THEORY.
The police, however, still cling to
the theory that the woman, who was
a character in the Bridgeport under
world, was killed because she had re
vealed the inner workings of tho
white slave traffic in Chicago. Buon
omo, together with Joseph Mat.tio and
Frank Pizischilli, who were arrested
after the shooting, are being held
pending a bearing Saturday. . "
No trace has been found of the two
other men in the party who disap
peared atter the killing. They art
said to be Jimmy Lewis, alias "Hart
ford Jlminy," and Andrew Campan
ello, alias "Big Andrew."
While Buonomo's confession seem
ingly nullifies the police theory as to
the motive, police officials still insist
that the shooting is an outgrowth of
white lave troubles in Chicago. Th'-ir
principal reason for clinging to the
theory is because of the character of
the men who were with Buonomo at
the time of the shooting. Matteo and
IMzischillo, the other m-n being he;,,
also were subjected to a close exam
ination last night, but each In turn
denied any knowledge of premeditated
shooting. They declared they knew
of no motive 'for the crime.
