injured, and police call brought an
ambulance and the man was taken to

his leg and an arm were broken.

and saved 5000 by selling bananas i'm

Whle he lay in the hospital, Maruttsu
and the woman took his money, broke
up his home, put the child in an insti-

unbearable for Satterello and he went
before Alderman Kelly and had a war

The warrant was placed in the hands
of Frank Eglo. the Italian detective.
who went to the house to arrest them,
taking Constable Jim Clarke and Spe-
cial Officer Gilman with him. When
they entered the house at II O'Clock
at night, Maruttso struck Eglo on the
arm with heavy iron bar, and made
an attempt to stab him with a butcher
knife, which was lying on a table, but
he was prevented by Clarke.
Both were finally arraigned before
Alderman Kelly and were committed
to the county Jail in default of 81 900
bail EACH
The old man has no friends here. but
Maruttso has many friends, who made
desperate efforts to secure his release.
He declared that he will murder the
old man when he is released
When Satterelo returned to the
house brother of Maruttso made
threats against the old mans life, and
when he learned that he was liable to
arrest, he fled and is believed to be in
Forest City.

follow from the friends of Maruttso

Satterello stated that when Maruttso
returned home that night he wore a
couple of suits Of clothes and brought
home several pieces of cloth and trim
mings for clothing. A search warrant
was issued and placed in Detective
Eglo's hands. He went TO the house
and found some pieces of cloth, and
learned also that other goods had been
placed in the hands of a local tailor,
together with the trimmings.
Tailor Janko was notified and iden-
titled the goods now in the possession
of Alderman Kelly,
Since Satterello has been turned
out of his lodgings he has been
cared for by considerate friends
who took an interest in him. He is
still suffering from the effects of his
injuries and is aged and feeble, being
about GO years Of age, while his wife
is about 80. Maruttso is 80 years old.
The accused are now in the county
Jail and despite efforts made to secure
their release, are likely to remain there
until tried. Friends have offered sums
of money to Alderman Kelley to re-
lease them.
