Suspect In the Catania Case-supposed
Identification OF Murder Victim as 8
French.Canadian Apparently Exploded
The murdered man whose body wa.
found in a barrel Is still unidentified at the
Morgue. but there are hopes Of establishing
by the end OF the week who the man was.
When the thirteen prisoners are brought
into court to-day II is intended to hold at
least five OF the lot and probably discharge
the rest. although the police may rearrest
them. Those who are pretty certain to
be held are Morello, Geneva, Inzerillo
Peooraro, and Fernaro. They will be
charged either with murder or with having
carried concealed weapons. The police
have been unable to find any particular evi
dence against most Of the others. The two
Loboidos in particular are now known
10 be only remotely connected with the
desperate gang of which Morello was the
head. they having only recently come TO
New York.
Lupo. the Italian whom Justice Blancb-
ard refused to free on Saturday on a writ
OF habeas corpus. will Immediately on his
discharge be rearrested by United States
Marshal Henkel on a charge Of counter
feiting. A warrant was issued by United
States Commissioner Shields on Saturday,
and had Lupo been released by Magistrate
Barlow yesterday he would have been taken
into custody the next moment by Federal
Official.
Lupo probably will be held by the United
States authorities temporarily on the coun-
terfeiting charge. Later 1t may be that he
will be set free by the Federal people
in order that the police may have a chance
toarrest him once more on a murder charge
The police expect to connect him with the
dered In Brooklyn last July In much the
same manner as the barrel victim.
Jupo Is positively declared to have been

fore the htter's body was found tied up
In a sack at Bay Ridge.
Day that Lupo was suspected of hav wing
killed q man In Palermo Just before lie
left Italy for this country, In 1899. They
1xed Lupo with the crime and he Is snid
to the story received by the authorities
here the man was despatched by Lupo
otter qurs rel or dispute Of some kind.
The United States and Italy have no ex-
tradition treaty under which Iupo could be
taken back there even u the Italian Gov
err ment ws nted him for the crime.
Efforts to identify the barrel victim are
still being made by the police and the Secret
Service agents along the first theory that
the murdered man was an associate OF the
counterfeting secret society gang and that
he was put out Of the way because Of some
idea that he was betraying the gangs
secrets.
Several persons declared yesterday that
