Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1900-12-29
Chief BROWN
Is Better To-day and Will
Recover
TWO ARRESTS
Are Supposed to Be Leading
Anarchists.

A TELEGRAM man called upon the
Chief of Police Patrick Brown this
morning and found him more COM
Portable than he was yesterday. 1t
has now been SO hours since the shoot
ing and the physicians regard it as
quite a favorable indication that in
asmuch as Inflammation has not yet
set in, that he is out of danger.
Two more Italians were arrested
last night on suspicion Of being con-
cerned In the attempted assassination
Of Chief of Police Brown. Officers
Cayhue and Slayton brought them in
after half day hunt.
Innociepte Belli, a one eyed hand
polisher was brought before the city
court about 7.l5 last night by
Officer Cayhue. Guilio Berlucchi, who
cannot speak English atall was ar
rested on the third floor Of
the Tomasi block and brought in
little earlier about 5.45, by
Othcer Slayton. Both men were held
without bail till Jan. 2, when they
will have trial. These two are con-
fined in the lookup here.
The rooms of AutOro Bernacca and
Luigi Sassi were searched after they
were arrested Thursday. 1t is under
stood that several bottles of whiskey,
some suspicious books, papers, etc.,
were found in Sassi'S room. Some
"Peters" cartridges, the same kind
that we're found where shooting uc-
Cured, were found in Bernacca's s
room.
The state feels confident it has a
strong case against the leaders of the
gang Of assassins. New papers will
probably be issued against all the men
today, containing in all seven counts,
murder ID the tirStand second deg rees,
manslaughter, being armed with dan.
gerOuS weapon, assault with intent to
kill, and simple assault.
The "Peters" cartridges found in
Bernacco's room were the same as
those found in the revolver found on
the Italian that Constable Buchanan
had the sprinting match with at the
Pioneer Mills. Inquiry at the lead
ing places where cartridges are sold
revealed the fact that only Phelps
Bros. carry this make. There may,
however be some other place in
the city where this make can be pro-
cured.
An Italian of high standing called
upon the Chief this morning and told
him that over 200 Italians had been
to him to express their sympathy for
the wounded Chief and their hostility
to the perpetrators Of the act. 1t is
said that had not Brown and Gau-
thier got there when they did that as
many as 20 of the socialists would
have been shot. that they had been
selected as victims. That two men
stood outside the door with loaded re-
volvers, while their comrades were to
start a row inside.
He said that Is composed the gang,
four of whom we're from Barre and
the others from Montpelier.
When Brown and Gauthier quelled
the disturbance they we're notified by
friendly Italians that trouble was
brewing for them. Later Brown re.
ceived word that the anarchists were
going to shoot the first man who came
from the hall and he again went
down Granite street. They have been
unable to find any revolver amongst
A. Bernacco's belongings, so 1t is sus'
pected that the one found by the side
Of the railroad track last night was
his. Both BernaccO's and SasSi's
rooms were we'll supplied with Peters
cartridges. The better class Of
Italians are all very indignant ano
they say that if by any chance the
anarchists get free through technical
ity 10 the law they will make it i'm
No Sihlo for than TO Ii We here longer.
