MURDER CHARGE

SEQUEL TO SLAYING OF ITALIAN United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received January 9, 10.0 p.m.) MELBOURNE, January 9. A finding that Luigi Marches! died from injuries feloniously and unlawfully inflicted by Giacomo Tarca, was returned by the coroner, after inquiring into the disappearance of Marchesl.

Tarca was committed for trial on a charge of murder. A story of a fight in the bush over wages, during which he hit Marches! on the head with a piece of wood, and subsequently burned the body, was contained in a statement alleged to have been made by Tarca who, however, was alleged to have made a later statement, in which he declared that four Italians living on Marchesl’s farm, had killed Marches!.

A message received on December 6 read: Fears that Luigi Marches! (60), a farmer of Lilydale, 25 miles from Melbourne, who had been missing since November 18, had been murdered were confirmed late to-day when his body was found under a wood heap. The head was apparently smashed with a spade. The police are now searching for a Malran farm labourer. Marchesl was reputed to have had a large sum of money hoarded in his house.
