ACTIVELY WORKING.
Possibly Important Clue In tho
Cochrane Murder Case-TWo 1tal-
fans Arrested who May be Able to
Throw Some Light on the Subject-A
New Theory Advanced for the Crime
The Funeral of the Victim.
The police were especially encouraged
asst evening, having discovered what they
,elieve may prove to be very important
lue in the Wallace street murder case, and |
hey are working it for all it is worth.
Last evening about 7:30 o'clock Officer
Lawlor was informed that two Italians
were collecting money from every italian
they met. The men were pointed out to
him, and he saw them go into an italian
saloon and when they came out they got
twenty-five cents from a passing italian.
Officer Lawlor placed them both under ar
rest. He noticed the younger of the sus
poets, me1e boy, try to slip paper into
a coal box. The officer grabbed the paper.
He brought the two Italians to the pre-
cinct, and there they were subjected to
severe cross questioning. Little informa-
ton could be got from them, although
they contradicted themselves many times.
The men were first seen by John Kelly,
who noticed them speaking to several Ital-
ticed that they spoke only to Italians whom
they seemed to know, and in nearly every
case they got money. The older Italian,
whose name is Michael Daziamo, collected
tho money, and the boy, whose name is
Stephano Musco, wrote the names on a
slip of paper which he held in his hand.
This paper the officers captured. Mr.. Kelly
watched the men 90 down Hamilton street
as far as Grand avenue. He sent boy to
watch them the rest of the way, and he
watched and reported to the officer. On
the paper were the found the following
names and amounts:
Gennaro Ammini, IS cents; Giovanni
Orolano, 10 cents; Boza Demarco, 10 cents;
Gindio Deligo, 25 cents; Giovanni Tenfar-
lido, IS Genes; Lorenzo Mostrivio, % cents;
Antonio Altiere, Is cents; Granceseo Cor
berto, 10 cents; Carmoni Camel, so cents;
Agosteni Gionelli, 10 cents; Lodovieo CT
oncirolli, cents; Lingi Forello, Is cents.
On the older italian Daziamo, was
found 50 81. The amount on the paper
showed So 40. The men said that they
were collecting the money for sick man,
but they could not tell where he lived OF
where he was laying sick. They told two
or three places and their stories failed to
connect in many points. They kept
contradicting themselves.
The police are sure that the men were
collecting money for the murderer OF
Cochrane, and would probably soon have
collected enough to help him get out of the
state and perhaps out of the country. 1t
is hoped that through these prisoners the
police will get some clue to the where
abouts of the murderer.
A THEORY.
A new theory was advanced yesterday
by gentleman who claims to have beer
an eyewitness of previous encounter be
tween the murderer and his victim. Thi
informant states that the murder is tn
direct outcome of feud between the two
men which originated last Friday evening
| On the evening in question it is stated tina
Cochrane and companion were walking
on Grand avenue, near James street, whel
they were met by Russo and another Ital
ian, who were working in the opposit
direction. When the two couples cam
face to face remark of an insulting ant
derogatory nature was made by on
of the parties, though which one mad
it is not known, whereupon the other re
scented it, and as a result several blow
were interchanged. Finally, however, tn
parties were separated without the assist
ance of the police, and both went their re
spective ways. Sunday afternoon they me
again on Wallace street and the quarre
was renewed, with the result that Coch
rane is now lying in his grave in st. Law
renee cemetery the victim of a murde1ou
Italians stiletto, while his murderer is i
1. Co. 49, y,
earth eagerly sought after by every police
Andrew Bove. who it is alleged wa
with Russo at the time of the murderou
assault, and who was positively identife
as being with Russo at the time by youn
Flavin, one of Cochrane's companions,
at large, having been released on bondi
but absolutely refuses to give any informt
lion concerning the ARRAY. He was al
rested shortly after the occurrence an
held on a charge of breach of the peace, i
the hope of using him as witness againi
Russo should he be captured. In the cit
court, when the case came up Monda
morning, it was continued until Thursda,
in order to give the police an opportunit
to capture the alleged murderer.
The police are still hopeful of capturin
Russo, and are of the opinion that it wi
be but matter of a very short time befo,
they have him safely in the tolls. The
scout the idea that he has escaped and SUI
ceeded in getting any considerable distant
from the city, and are hard at work clea
ing up several clues which have come
: them during the past day or two.
