VICTORIAN CASE.
VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER. MELBOURNE, March 17. Giacomo Tarca, an Italian, was found not guilty of murder, but guilty of manslaughter of Luigi Marchesi on the latter’s farm at Coldstream, 26 miles from Melbourne. The Crown alleged that Tarca killed Marchesi, burned the body, and buried the charred bones. Tarca, in evidence, said he struck Marchesi twice with a stick during a dispute about his wages. Marchesi fell to the ground and struck Iris head on a log. He then became afraid, so he burned the body. He was remanded for sentence.
