Mariposa Gazette 30 Oct 1880
How an Innocent Man was Injured in Reputation
"Yosemite Valley Oct. 20th, 1880. John Bacigalupi, of Yosemite Valley, slept one night in February last in the cabin of Angelo Cavagnero, at Hite's Cove. The next day a purse of $lOO, belonging to Cavagnero, was missing. Suspicion of theft very naturally fell on one of the two men named. From some unaccountable reason or other, the finger of condemnation seemed pointed at Bacigalupi as the guilty party. Feeling that there was no use in denying it, while knowing his perfect innocence, he quietly submitted to the terrible accusation. A few days ago, Cavagnero sought Mr. Bacigalupi and asked his forgiveness for having ever entertained a thought of his guilt, saying that he had found the money in the in the mattress, where he had put it. Comment is unnecessary. John Bacigalupi worked a number of years for J. M. Hutchings, of Yosemite Valley, and when the latter left the Valley Mr. Hutchings made him a present of a watch, on which was inscribed, "In memory of faithful services, with the kind esteem of J. M. Hutchings." This will gratify the friends of the injured man, while telling the whole story."

Coulterville Notes
Newsy Items From Our Regular Correspondent
"Despondent over long continued illness, John Baptiste Bacigalupi ended his life Thursday night at his home in the rear of his place of business in Coulterville. A stranger in the town, Ed Rydberg of Oakdale, who remained up late to complete repairs on his machine sought refreshments at the gro cery and saloon of the dead man before retiring, and finding the doors open he entered to discover the gruesome tragedy. Bacigalupi lay on the floor with the top of his head blown off and suicide was at once suspected. He was a sufferer from chronic rheumatism and it seems he had found temporary ease in the use of a drug. His supply, however, had become exhausted and failing in an attempt to procure more on the night of his death, he apparently became discouraged. The act was not premeditated for the man had but recently ordered a supply of groceries to re-stock his store. Baptiste Bacigalupi was a familiar figure in Yosemite in early times, having been head guide there for many years. Like many other old timers of that section he consorted with an Indian woman and several children from the union survive. The family was living apart from him at the time of his death. The man had no other known relatives. He was a native of Italy and about 60 years of age. Bacigalupi lived for about two years in Raymond after leaving Yosemite. He has made his home in Coulterville for the past 15 years. He will be buried to-day in the Coulterville cemetery."
