Kilted Wife and Paramour and Confessed Crime to Priest.

From Kenosha, WiA, comes the latest horrible crime. A merchant named Marchesi returned to his home late Saturday night and found his wife asleep locked in the arms of his nephew and namesake, whom he had greatly admired and favored. Overcome by jealousy he procured a hand ax and murdered both. He then dressed his baby and his four-year-old daughter and took them to the home of relatives, saying that his wife was sick. He then hid for the night in the basement of the Catholic church. He could not stand the torture of having committed the deed and he confessed to the crime, telling the priest He was taken to jail and a guard established, fearing that he might be lynched.
