What Kind Of Dog Does Andy Sixx Have

caps Order and The Coast on the day of the crimes

Count In 1938 a rundown, based in Santa Fe, murdered his entire family in the south of the city. Two newspapers devoted their pages to the fact: between journalism, sensationalism and shock. And the search for his reader-model .

The February 13, 1938 the news shocked the city, unaccustomed to multiple crimes, although family violence (two examples here and here.) (Similarly, a count had starred in the previous century a terrible bloody deed.)

A 61 year old man murdered his wife, his daughter and a "little maid" of eight years and, after hurting his niece committed suicide.

The two major city newspapers carried coverage of the crimes on his way. The Order, with a modern display: large photographic production for the time and much sentimentality, sensationalism, true to its model, Critical of Natalio Botana. There was a clear objective: to win mass popular campaigns readers the benefit of marginal areas, news writing in plain language, addressing the needs of neighborhoods and giving prominence to the area police news. For some it was a few years later told a newspaper that primarily Peronist.

Littoral, however, doomed to become a political actor, continues to favor national and international news and editorials. For several decades, too, will using a graphic layout harsh, with tight lyrics and limited use of images.

Here, the different coverages of multiple murders.

first killed his daughter Angela, 26, then wounded his niece Haydeé Marinelli, 22, later killed his wife 53, and, before committing suicide, killed the child Carlos Gonzalez, 8.

The Order gives extensive details on two full pages, the chain that followed the crimes, how they survived Haydée, how was the body of the child and who was Alexander Pozzo Di Borgo. Littoral, urged perhaps by publishing information the same day of the incident, the tragedy was loosed around 15 hours -, he says, almost stripped and two columns the chronology of events.

The newspaper founded by Don Alfredo Estrada, being morning, was unable to collect more data. But focuses also on what it considers the tragedy of a man who had lost everything. Is thus concentrated in Di Borgo.

Back in the "facts" we find that:

• On Sunday 13 February, at the time of the siesta, the residents of Moreno Street and May 1st heard several explosions. Some thought of naughty boys. Others, more serious.
• After lunch, where Di Borgo "showed absolute peace and quiet" each member of the family retired to their rooms.
• few minutes before 15 pm, they heard an explosion, so Haydée Marinelli, the niece went to the room of his cousin Virginia, and thence to the dining room. "He was horrified at the table were his eyes: there was Virginia, clutching the edge of the table, struggling to keep up."

When lifting his eyes warned there, a few meters to his uncle, Don Alejandro Pozzo di Borgo, with Winchester in hand, watching the body of his daughter ...

Haydée

gave a loud cry and his eyes tapóse Horrified, leaving the door to the patio. Her uncle chased and shot him. The bullet grazed the left breast, tearing the meat surface.

But she had time to run to his room where he locked himself. ( The Order )

• After the first shots, Ms. Di Borgo went and saw the time shooting at her niece. Their cry was drowned out by more gunfire, directed against it. In this, both papers agree: its body fell next to his daughter, who eventually embraced.
• The boy who lived there (a "maids" as Littoral, a boy picked up from the street was remember the dead son of Di Borgo according The Order ) ran from the room into the courtyard and there was reached. And the count, it concluded.
• Close to 16 hours, Di Borgo removed the shoes, lay in bed and put the Winchester under his left ear. Then he pulled the trigger. When neighbors and police managed to enter the house, still lived.

To Littoral, the wife was not known by anyone. "Never saw her in the street." By count rarely saw him when he left to care for their activities as a producer of an Insurance Company, "of which drew very little profit." Your daughter and her niece knew them by "vague references."

The Order, however, said that residents often gave shelter to the three women when Di Borgo had one of their 'common' mental disorders. The

Also Luis Pozzo Di Borgo, brother of the Count, had fainted on arrival home.
