Ills dying victim at the hospital, where he
was po-itively identified by De Mimic as
lis assailant. He was then brought back
% police headquarters, where he was
ocked up in cell charged with assault
With intent to kill.
The story of his capture, which WAS most
,levsrly effected by Officer Barnham, as
listed by Officer whilldy, is as follows:
Shortly after 8 O'Clock last evening Officer
was patrolling his beat on
Rock street near the foot of West Rock,
when he was acoosted by an Italian who
inquired of him as to where another italian
lived in Westville. The man acted sus-
piciously, and Officer Burnhsm, who had
been furnished with description Of the
the "qui vive." In the meantime he dis
covered another Italian standing in the
shadow on the opposite side of the street.
Under pretense of showing the man
the direction he should take Of
Ger Burnham crossed the street
and at once recognized the man in
shadow as the one whose description had
been furnished him. Burnham immedi-
ately raped for assistance, and Officer
WILDLY quickly responded. Both the
Italians were then placed under arrest,
after they had given fictitious names and
brought to this city.
Upon their arrival at police headquarters
one of the Italians gave his name of Pas
qusle Fenitto and acknowledged that he
had been engaged in fight with De Mimic
on st. John street, during the course of
which he had stabbed the latter in the left
groin. He was at once searched but no
weapon could be found upon him. He
had So in cash and small pen knife.
His companion, who gave his name as
James Porelli, and who it was thought
might ba Fenitto's son-in-law, was also
locked up to await further developments.
He disclaimed any connection with either
Fenitto or the crime. His story was that
Fenetto came to him last night and asked
him to help him find the residence of an
italian in Westville. He complied with
the request and was searching for 1t when
he was placed under arrest.
Fenitto, who has been in hiding since last
Thursday, answered the description which
had been sent out, in every respect except
the mustsche. This he said he had had
shaved off yesterday morning. Sergeant
McGsnn and Officer Gates were summoned
from Station 2 and they, accompanied by
Coroner Mix and Deputy Coroner Pond,
took Fenitto to the hospital, where De-
Mimic promptly identified him as the
man who stabbed him.. Porelli, who
claims also that another italian was origi-
nally with them, but made his escape, it lie
he has divulged, was also locked up and
will be held until after the matter and his
connection with 1t has been thoroughly in.
vestigated.
The capture of Fenitto was most clever
one and reflects great credit upon Officer
Burnham's ability. Last night he wa
warmly congratulated by his brother off
cars. Yesterday afternoon Detective Ser
geant Dennehy and several officers from
station 2 were in Westville tor severa
hours but failed to obtain any clue as t,
the whereabouts of Fenitto. Fenitto, O
