A Factory Owner is Murdered
New York. September 23, 1907. — Eppisonio Arcara, proprietor of an East Side ladies’ skirt factory, was murdered in his factory Sunday.
His enemy, not satisfied with inflicting 19 stiletto wounds, any one of which might have caused death, mutilated the body in a horrible manner.
The only police clue is two clearly defined prints of a thumb and forefinger on the jamb of the factory door.
Arcara’s bookkeeper and his foreman have been detained by the police. These and other employees may tell of some things in the murdered man’s life that gave a motive.
