He stated afterward: NO EVIDENCE. "We haven't a bit of evidence to connect Leone with the crime. I have what seems to be very reliable information that Leone was in San Francisco the night of ths murder." One of Leone's sisters, who lives in Albany, and his father in San Francisco both stated last night that the youth had spent the night at the Lombard street address there. The outburst of Mrs. McDonough threw the crowds at the funeral into an uproar.
