from Athens, however, says the

DATAVIA, N. Y Nov. 23. Lulgl
Matroni was burled alive in tbe
cellar of his home near Corfu, in
Mar, 1914, bis body being trampled
Into a newly made grave while he
still begged for merer, according to
a story told br bis widow to District
Attorney Coon here today. This
afternoon Antonio Boliva, the alleged
murderer, pointed out tbe spot where
the crime occurred and a body Was
found which Mrs. Matroni identified
as that of her husband. Boliva has
confessed, the district attorney said.
Boliva, who is Mrs. Matronl's son-in-
law. Is serving a six months' term In
ths Monro county penitentiary for a
stabbing affray. Mrs. Matroni came
here from Syracuse to tell the story of
the murder which she declared had
been witnessed by her and her young
son, Charles.
Hlience Dae to fear.
Her long silence, she said, was due to
fear of Boliva. who had threatened a
similar fate for her and her son. When
she learned he was In prison she felt
safe to tell.
Mra. Matroni said that her husband
was felled by a blow from a pick axe
handle wielded by Boliva. He waa
knocked unconscloua, but revived before
the grave had been dug In the cellar.
He pleaded with Boliva for mercy Jurt
before he waa thrown into the pit and
trampled under the ground, ahe declared.
After hearing the woman's story. Dis
trict Attorney Coon and Sheriff Edger
ton took Boliva to the farm where the
Matronls formerly lived.
Boliva at first denied knowledge of the
murder, but later District Attorney
Coon said he confessed and told the men
where to dig. They found the body
under nine feet of earth, the houae pav
ing been torn down and the cellar filled
In after the Matronls moved away.
Boliva killed Matroni, he told the dis
trict attorney, because after his marriage
to Matronl's step-daughter she told him
that Matroni bad attacked her the day
before their wedding.
