The confessions of Ferrara and Arichiello read to the Grand Jury brought about the indictments with. out delay. The men will be arraigned to plead Wednesday, when Joseph Rosalsky will represent the Zafarone brothera and William H. Welssager and Caesar Barra will appear for the other two defendants, The Grand Jury will immediately take up an in- vestigation to uncover the instigators of the murder, Fiftoen witnesses are under @ub- poona to appear before the Grand Jury, and from thoir testimony Dts- trict Attorney Bwann believes the mystery surrounding ths slaying of Baft will be cleared. “None of the men concerned in the actual killing of Baff are going to save their necks by being witnesses for the State,” Mr, Swann declared to-day. “Although overtures have been made by counsel for some of the actual assassins to have their clients testify for the State I have declined to accept any of them as State's wit- nesses, It is my prediction that every man who participated in the actual killing of Baét will die im the eleotrie abair.” District Attorney Swann and his ageistanta, James O'Malley and John T. Dooling, examined the witnesses before the Grand Jury to-day. It became known to-day that in the unfolding of the mystery that in- volved the murder of Baff, District Attorney Swann and hie assistants have uncovered three other murders that the Baff assassination was di- rectly responsible for, Thomas La. Monte, at one time proprietor of the stable at No, 884 East One Hundred and Eighth Street, known as “the murder stable,” in which the automo- bile that carried the Baff assassins was found, was killed by Antonio Impolluazo, now in the death house at Sing Sing, because he talked too much about the Baff murder, Paolo Greco, the man who handled thi money for the Baff murder, was an other victim. It has been aacer. tained that he was killed because he “knew too much.” The third mur- der, that of Antonio Vivolo, in Feb- ruary, 1915, is now being investigated. Among the fifteen witnesses who are scheduled to testify before the the Water Street chicken killer who his assistants considerable informa- tion concerning the identity of Baft's layers, Another witness will be Carmelio Russo, known to the police as “Char- Me Ross,” who was hired to assist tn the assassination of Baff, but did not participate in the murder, been arrested the day before t actual killing of Baff for centring a revolver. District Attorn jwann found Russo in the reformatory at Napanock. He has identified the four men charged with the murder as those who were hired with him to hall Baff.

LOST $12,000 NECKLACE Gems Lost on Fifth Avenue by St. Regis Guest—Reward of $600 Paid to Finder, CALL NOTES FAKES Mere Till Thursday, ‘The ubiquitous amd elusive Jean Crones, who put poteon in the soup of the diners at Archbishop Mundel- ein'’s banquet in Chicage called up The World office at noon to-day and expressed displeasure at the notoriety other persons are acquiring by the use of his name. Crones appeared much peeved about what he called the desire for publicity which prompts People to write letters purporting to come from him. Crones’s prime object in calling up, he said, was to apologize for not com- ing to The World office yesterday afternoon, as he had promised to do in two telephone calls, one of which was sont from Mendelsohn’s news- paper store, at No. 806 Sixth Avenue “Il was going to cal] and see the editor,” he sald “but I talked to a friend in Brooklyn and he advised me to stay away. 6o I did not have the courage, “Now, Mr, Editon you eee I cannot make the call as I promised My friend tells me it would be foolish, as the police might be watching the building I am now arranging to leave New York next Thursday.” “aren't you afraid the police will catch you?” Crones was asked, “Pah!” be responded, “The police! Stupida, they are. Why, this morn- ing, Mr. Editor, I was in a big rea- taurant in Forty-second Street. I saw half @ dozen detectives in the Place and outaide and none of them even looked at me twice.” “Did you write all theee letters that ave been printed in which you con- fessed putting poleon in the soup?” Crones was asked. "I wrote only one letter,” he de- clared, “I wrote that to the police chief and it hasn't been printed. Some people are getting notoriety by my case, Look at my brother up in Middletown, N. Y., #iving out things about me and talking to reporters all the time. SAYS HE TELEPHONED AS PO- LICEMAN LOOKED ON. “He shouldn't do such things, All he wants to do is to get bis name in the papers. I called him up on the long distance telephone this morning. It took me sixteen minutes to get the cal and there was a policeman right) outside the place where I was tele- phoning, but he didn't suspect that Jean Crones was 80 close to him.” Crones said a photograph printed in The Evening World was a fine plo- ture of him. But he expressed doubt it would prove of any ald to the police. There is reason for belief that Crones is not moving about so freely as he claims. For instance, in ono of his letters, printed last week, he said he was around Polloe Headquarters a couple ef hours and nobody noticed him, To-day, in talking to this of- fice, Crones referred to Police Head- quarters as “in Mulberry Street.” This indicates he does not know Po- Nice Headquarters i# now established in Centre Street, — > AUSTRIA WOULD PARLEY.
