GHASTLY CRIME
MURDERED FOR HER EAR-RINGS. TRAGEDY’ AT ROME. (By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright.) 'Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) ROME, June 30. (Received July 1, 7.37 p.m.). A typewriter traveller named Gregori, suspected of embezzling 55,000 lira from his employers, became engaged to the firm’s typist. He took her to the cinema, at which he frequently burst out into hysterical laughter. Next morning the landlady found in Gregori’s bedroom a trunk from which blood was oozing. The police expected to find a body. Instead there was the mangled corpse of a fellow-traveller’s wife, whom he lured to the room and murdered for her diamond ear-rings, which he pawned for a trifling sum.
