THE MATTEOTTI MURDER
COLD BLOODED CRIME PROMINENT FASCISTS CONCERNED STARTLING EVIDENCE. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) ROME, June 21. (Received June 22, 5.5 p.m.) Al Messagero states that one of the principal persons arrested in connection with the Matteotti crime admitted his complicity, and accused three other prominent Fascists, two of whom were arrested as instigators of the murder. The informant alleged that Matteotti was dragged into the motor-car, murdered, and the car was driven to a wood where the body was thrown under a hedge. The murderers then returned to Rome and conferred with the others in regard to the disposal of the body, with the result that one of the assassins drove to the wood at night and disposed of the body, which the prisoner believed was burned.
