Skeleton of Pietro Arae Found in Coffman Mine
State troopers and prosecutors recovered the skeletal remains of Pietro Arae, Italian Black Hand victim, from the Coffman mine eight miles north of Grafton. The desiccated body, buried under slate with rats nesting in the ribs, was located after a grueling two-mile crawl through flooded chambers. Prosecutor Watkins and officers believe Philip Missiche and Jim Long murdered Arae for $34 and a watch, with Missiche already serving an 18-year term and Long imprisoned for shooting a constable. The grisly find may be exhibited in November court as part of the case.
