MURDER CASES.
ROME, August 25.

With a fellow actor, Pietro, both Sicilians, he had been engaged in the production of films. Losing their positions, they became penniless and decided to give a realistic turn to the scenes in which they acted. They therefore murdered and robbed their victims of 300,000 lire. Cavallaro admitted that but for his illness he would have killed others. Pietro, when arrested, repoached jhis betrayer, who suddenly collapsed and died. ALLAWAY CONFESSED. LONDON, August 26.
