DINELLO MURDER

Son says Father Killed Sister
But Mother Declares Statement False.

Los Angeles, Nov. 11—The disappearance eleven years ago of a police into an investigation of conflicting stories of a mother and her deaf-mute son, one of whom
accused the girl's father of her murder while the other, denied the story.  The girl, was Julia Dinello, whose father, Tony, is serving a 50 year penitentiary sentence in Lansing, Kas.,  for the murder of two other of his children. Police began their investigation after Ernest Dinello, 14, wrote a statement to probation officers accusing
his father of killing Julia after he had been placed in their care following complaints from neighbors that he had been mistreated by his mother. He was sent to a county
boarding school. The boy said his mother, brought him here in 1922 with his sister, Adeline. He said his father, also known as Patio Bucci, killed two of his younger sister with a hammer and threw their bodies in the Kaw River. In 1918, he said, the father killed Julia by joking her to death with a wire, then beheaded her and sank the body in the river.
Faced with this information, the mother at first denied Dinello was her husband and said her name was "Mrs. Melle." She claimed her husband was killed in an explosion in 1921. Later she admitted the convict was her husband. The daughter also admitted the identity and both said Dinello had killed two of her children. The mother contended, however, that Julia ran away from home in 1918 and said they have not seen her since. They denied Dinello killed her.
