Was In A Hen House

Sault Ste. Marie, Dec. 28.- The body of Mrs. Peter Paccoloni of Daf (er, this county, who has been missing for nearly three weeks, wasfound Wednesday by Thomas Fagan and John McGahey. The body had been buried in a henhouse. The men unearthed the remains sufficiently to recognize them. Peter Paccoloni, the husband, who is in jail here on suspicion of the inurder of his wife, is believed to be the perpetrator of the crime. There is great excitement at Dat'ter and other parts of the county over the affair. If Paccoloni was not in jail, Judge Lynch would probably take suminary actiou. Paccoloni's examination will take place tomorrovv. In statements made soon after his arrest Paccoloni denied all knowledge of the whereabouts of his wife. Suspicion against Paccolonia was first aroused when blood was found on the bed in his house, on the bedroom door and in the cellar by neighbors and the two sons of the deóeased woman, who searched the premisos. Suspicion was f urther increased by Paccoloni's answer to the auestion as to what Mrs. Paccoloni wöre the day she was last seen. Paccoloni at that time stated that she must have gone away to some other neighbor's for a day or two, as she had done before without telling him where she was going. The garments he said she wore were found during the search. The Italian told his questioners that he had made a thorough search of the premises, but could not find her. He especially emphasized the remark that she could not be in the henhouse, as he had looked there more carefully than elsewhere. On being told by his stepson that there was blood in the henhouse, he replied: "Oh, that is blood from chickens which have been killed there." Altogether his actions were so suspicious as to warrant his arrest, which was made last week. The offer of a reward of S50 for the recovery of the body, dead or alive, spurred on the search, with the result that the body was found as stated.
