Justice Blanchard, in the Supreme Court yes
terday dismissed the writ Of habeas corpus that
Ignatio Lupo. one of the men arrested by the
police in connection with the barrel murder
case, applied for Friday. Charles E. LIE Barber
counsel for Lupo, said that all criminal Jaw
was founded on some charge, and that his client
had been arrested as suspicious person. and
I'VE do not know the cause reason why he
should be restrained of his liberty.
Assistant District Attorney Gray appeared
for the District Attorneys office, and opposed
the motion. the ground that crime haa
been committed and the police were within
their right in asking that the prisoner be re-
rnanded for reasonable length of time. the ex-
animation being set down for to-day, before
Magistrate Barlow.
Pietro Inzerillo, one of the thirteen men ar
rested in connection with the murder. through
his counsel, Frederick E. Goldsmith, yesterday
applied to Justice Blanchard, of the Supreme
Court for a writ of habeas corpus. The writ Is
returnable tomorrow.
Inspector McClusky said yesterday that at
present the case was at a standstill, and that
the only hope lay in the Identification OF the
dead man. He said that because of the chang
ing of the features of the deceased every day
the possible Identification was made harder; IN
fact, SO hard that about thousand persons
Der about one hundred and fifty had made par
tial Identification. but in every case the man
who it was supposed had been murdered had
been found alive.
Inspector McClusky said that this morning he
would ask that most of the prisoners be dis
charged but would ask that the courts hold
Inzerino and Morelo. The inspector said he
might ask for the OBTAINING of a third man, but
who he was likely to be he would not say
Inspector McClusky said that Chief Flynn OF
the Secret Service authorities will by this AFTER
noon have secured enough evidence against at
least three of the men to show that they are
members of a large counterfeiting gang. He
also says that If nothing else will have been
ACCOMPLISHED the authorities will have succeed
ed in rounding Up a gang of desperate counter
feiters probably the largest III the world. The
pictures OF all the men, the inspector says, are
in the RogUes Gallery
Shortly before noon yesterday a man about
twenty-eight years old, accompanied by Detec-
tive Sergeant Hitch. called at the Bellevue
Morgue and viewed the body of the dead man.
The man said that he came from Waterbury
and was positive that the dead man had WORKED
on the streetcar lines in that city in the recent
strike. He said he remembered seeing MN Oh

dred- -fourteenth-st., called at the DetectlVe
