dered Man In Barrel.
New York, April 16.-Vitto Laduc,
who was supposed to have been the
proprietor of the butcher shop in STAN
ton street, where nine arrests were
made last night in connection with the
murder of the man found in barrel in
East Eleventh street last Tuesday

witness
Nikola Testro, 19 years of age, who
lives with Laduc, also went to police
headquarters and was detained for
the same purpose
At the place in Elizabeth street kept
by Guisepe Morello, who was one of
the men arrested last night, the police
have locked the doors and placed heavy
padlocks on them. Through the glass
windows can be seen several large bar
rels that bear q resemblance to the
barrel in which the murdered man was
found. The barrel in Eleventh street
had two wooden hoops and a wire
hoop at both top and bottom The bar
rels in the store appear as if they had
nothing but wire hoops. In the store
was found a quantity of sawdust and
burlap and Detective Petrosino took
some of it to police headquarters to-
day for examination and comparison
With that found in the barrel, and

Youtsey, on cross-examination. said
that after he was arrested and later
sent to the penitentiary, he still held
hope of getting his liberty. He thought

he decided to talk and did tell his story
to Prison Physician Tobin.
Youtsey said further, that he had an
additional incentive to tell the story,
as Taylor, Powers and others had used
him as a catspaw and scapegoat and
then deserted him when he got into
