Medford, Mass, May 7.-While the
energies of not only the local but the
state police were practically concen-
trated, today, in an effort to collect
enough evidence to prove that it was
Tomasso Lombardi, an Italian carpen-
ter, who murdered Miss Nellie A. Stur-
tevant, last night, they were forced to
admit, tonight. that, except for the fact
that Mr.. Sturtevant saw his daughters
murderer flee on a bicycle and that
lombard when arrested in Boston, five
miles from Medford, two hours later
was riding a well-mudded bicycle, they
have comparatively little evidence
against the Italian.
A Medford policeman saw man rid
ing a bicycle near the scene of the
tragedy a few minutes before it oc-
CURED and the machine had snap or
click, which is distinctly noticeable in
the bicycle on which lombard was rid
ing when arrested. Furthermore, an
electric light man in Maiden saw a
bicycler about 1910 o'clock this morn
ing, riding rapidly towards Boston on
a machine. which also had a click.
These facts were not presented in
the district court at Maiden, today,
when lombard was arraigned on the
charge of murder, but the police laid
sufficient evidence before the court to

STURTEVANT CASE.
Italian Arrested on Suspicion
of the Crime.
Arraigned in Medford, Mass, Court
and Held for Trial.
Cannot Speak EnsIish-His Name is
Tomasso Loubried.

Maiden Mass, May 7.-TOmasso
lombard, who was arrested in Boston,
early Thursday, on suspicion of having
killed Miss Nellie Sturtevant, daughter
of James S. Sturtevant in Medford,
while attempting to rob her father late
Wednesday night, was held without
bail on a charge of murder for fur
Their hearing, next Tuesday, by Judge
Charles NJ Brace in the district court,
Thursday Daniel ]. Murphy of Ar
nection with the murder by the police
of Medford, was released, no case hav
ing been made out against him. Lou
Dried, who is an Italian, and who claims
to be unable to speak English, was rep
resented by Lawyer j. j. Welsh of NAL
den. At the conclusion of the proceed
ings which were very brief Loubried
was placed in East Cambridge Jail.
The cases growing out of the Med
ford murder took their turn with the
other matters in the district court.
When Murphy was called the an
nouncemcnt was made that the case
had been mol pressed. AS lombard
name was read by the clerk, Lawyer
Walsh waived the reading of the COM
plant and Immediately asked for Il
continuance in order that time might
be afforded to prepare for a hearing.
The Judge granted the request, naming
May Il as the day and ordering the
prisoner held without bail. No evil
dence of any sort was presented. No
member of the Sturtevant family was
in court. Serg't Ewell of the Medford
police was in charge of the case for the
prosecution.
lombard was arrested in Boston
while riding a bicycle, apparently hav-
ing come from a distance 1t was about
an hour and half after the Sturtevant
murder and the Boston police had been
notified by the Medford authorities that
the murderer had escaped from Med
ford on a bicycle. 1t is claimed that
lombard answers the description given
by Mr.. and Mrs. Sturtevant and that a
Medford letter carrier who saw the
man, Thursday morning, thinks he can
identify him as having been in Med
ford, late Wednesday night.
1t is understood lombard will en-
deavor to establish an alibi and that he
claims he can easily do this.
lombard was given into the charge
of Serg't. Ewell by the Boston police,
Thursday morning. Serg't. Ewell took
him to Medford where he was locked
up at the police station and then was
brought here for the court proceedings.
The police of Boston, who arrested
Tomasso lombard, early Thursday
morning, on suspicion of being connect
ed with the Sturtevant murder in Med
ford, Wednesday night state that he
gave Il fictitious address at Station l,
where he was booked. The police We're
given his address at II Whittier Alley,
North End. Investigation in that sec
ton failed to reveal any knowledge of
the man. He had never lived al No. II.
The bicycle ridden by lombard when
he was arrested is at Station l, Thurs
day. If he is able to do so, Mr.. Sturte-
want will come to the station to see if
he can identify the wheel as the one
used by the man who killed his daugh-
ter.
