DI NUNZIO UNDER ARREST
Italian Charged With Heinous Crime Cap
tured in Connecticut.
The Grand Jury to Act Mt Once and
q Bench Warrant to BE
Forwarded.

Barredine Di Nunzio, the Italian mu-
stefan wanted for an alleged assault on
Dora AK, eight years old, has been arrest
ed. Inspector Mattingly was notified today
of his capture by Deputy Sheriff Thomas
F. Egan of Southington, Conn. The arrest
was made on the information contained in
letter and kilograms sent to the Connec-
ticut officer by Inspector Mattingly.
When the detectives made an investiga-
ton of the assault case last week they
learned that Di Nunzio's wife had rela-
tives and friends in the little Connecticut
town, which is only short distance from
New Havon. The inspector felt reasonably
certain that the wife would go there, and
that her husband would join her. This,
he thought was the arrangement they
had made before the husband left the city.
and for this reason the authorities here
communicated with Deputy Sheriff Egan.
There were several other places in New
England where Di NunZio and his wife
were acquainted, and the officers at these
places were also asked to be on the look
out for him.
The officers were confident. when Mrs.
Di Nunzio bought a ticket for New York,
that she would go to New England. and
they felt reasonably certain that the man
would then be caught. In addition to the
purchase of the ticket, it was learned that
Mrs. Di NunZio had stated to some friends
that she was going to New Haven. She
went where she said she was going and
then made the short journey to Southing
ton, where it is thought her husband went.
to meet her this morning.
AS soon as the message from the Con-
necticut officer was received, Inspector
Mattingly set out to have the case investi-
gated by the grand jury, in order that
bench warrant might be issued and sent to
Connecticut for him. The eighth precinct
officers were notified to have the witnesses
summoned to appear before the grand iury
this afternoon John AK, the father of the
injured child, and Mrs. AK, her mother,
were found at their home, on Brightwood
avenue near Tomeroy, as was little Dora.
DR.. Caldwell, the attending physician, was
summoned to tell the extent of the chids
injuries and Sergeant Lombardy of the
sixth police precinct was before the jury
as interpreter. 1t is thought that an in
dictment will be returned at once, and
should this be done, a bench warrant will
be sent to Southington this evening
