Clinton, Nov. 9.-The town is full of
Boston police tonight. They are scour-
ing the surface of the metropolitan res
ervoir in search of one of the two Ital-
ians who buried an axe in the head of
their common enemy in Boston Tues
day night.
Inspector Sheehan and Lieut.. Rosetti
OF the Boston force arrived about this
afternoon. They were accompanied by
four city detectives. The entire party
wore plain clothes. They went to the
office of Chief of Police Oren b. Bates
TO get the lay of the land, and got down
10 work Immediately. They will visit
all the Italian shanties on the north
dixie and go over the entire surface of
the reservoir. They expect to find their
man in hiding. He formerly worked in
clinton, and is supposed to have Ital-
ian friends here who would hide him
One of the criminals was captured
last night in Hudson. This one gives
his name as Raphelo Riccio. The man
who is wanted is known as Vincencio
Bucillo.
The Hudson officers fired four shots
after Bucillo while he was escaping,
but none of them took effect. it is be-
heved. The story of the murder con-
talns romance as well as a tragedy
In Italy Michael Gallucci and the Grim
inals made love to the same girl She
agreed to marry the man who first ac-
cumulated $500. Gallucci was the man.
Thereupon the others put their heads
together and plotted to kill him, which
they did in the brutal fashion already
referred to.
The Boston police are fairly confident
that their man is somewhere in this
neighborhood They are confident he
would not go far away from the colony
that is located here, both because he
was almost without money, or means
of obtaining food, but because he is
more likely to find shelter here.
Bucillo is about % years old. He is
unusually short, being no more than 5
feet inches, wears a small black
mustache. He wears striped coat
made after the style of a hunting coat.
Every man that Chief Bates could
spare from his regular beats was as
sisting in the search this afternoon.
James German and Mrs. Margaret
O'Reilly, brother and sister, occupied
cells side by side in the police station
yesterday. He was very drunk. His
sister came to court to intercede for
him. She arrived about $50 1t was
8 before the court sat. In the mean
time. Mrs. O'Reilly took several drinks
getting them in some mysterious place
outside the court room, BY this time
she was -pugnacious and noisy, and
would not obey the repeated injunction
of Court officer Abijah Brown to be
still. She declined to listen to the eau
ton of Judge c. c. Stone himself and
was finally arrested. German pleaded
half guilty" and later withdrew the
first plea in favor of all guilty. He
was fined $40. and for lack Of it, is in
Fitchburg. His sister will get a hear
ing tomorrow.
The female cell in the repaired police
station is like a strange dream to the
police. They have never seen any
5 thing like it before in the cell line.
1t contains one small unbarred win
dow, which is so arranged as to afford
no ventilation. 1t is equipped with a
marble washstand, and complete facili-
ties for the toilet. 1t is possible that
space remains for a very small bunk
The door is just an ordinary one, like
that between a mans kitchen and his
dining ROOM locked with an ordinary
cheap lock and key. An able-bodied
woman could burst it with one good
kick. The door closes tightly and
there is no arrangement whatever for
ventilation.
The police declare that the first wo-
man put in there VINO is really drunk.
will tear down the marble washstand
and all the plumbing. She can if she
wants to, because a very little strength
would suffice.
This door opens into the barracks,
frequented by the officers, which will
tend to prevent the escape of pris-
oner some day.
Judge C. C. Stone, the chairman of
the committee on repairs, has expend-
ed more than $4,000 in making the re-
pairs, and the bills are still unpaid.
The town is to be called upon to pay
more money. William G. McGlinchey
said last night that it would take
about $400 more to pay the outstanding
bills. The police station repairs have
been so badly mismanaged that the APP
preparation will hardly be granted be-
fore the committee is severely scored
in town meeting.
