Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-03-09


 Sullivan, but in his own tongue it is said to be Vincenzo Sanzivaro, an Ital- ian, and the only witness so far se- cured is a brother of the dead man. The cause of the dispute in which the murder resulted is said to have been cards and the weapon used was a re- volver. In the city court this morn ing the accused was charged with murder, but the case was continued without ball pending the verdict of the coroner. While it is believed that cards was the source of the crime, there is hint that robbery had some thing to do with it in view of there having been found on the dead man $127 sewed in his clothes. The fatal bullet was fired from the rear and en- tered near the top of the left shoul- der, then it took a downward course and passed through the heart and lodged in the left side below the heart. Death is believed tn<kave resulted al- most instantly. This supposition is based on the grounds that the blood congealed almost immediately because the flow from the wound was very Slight, in comparison to what generally flows from such wounds. Had there been a copious flow of blood 1t would have shown that the heart continued in action for some time The dead man was thirty three years of age and had been in the country about five years. Besides two brothers he leaves widow and two children.
 The affair took place about o'clock. though it may have been earlier. It was about that time, at all events l that Patrolman Smith was notified of | shooting having taken place on Jack son street and when he arrived he round the body already cold, laid out In the hallway of the house where the act took place. Tn a short time the rl1mor had collected a very large crowd and close on the heels of this came Sergeant Pagan and a souad of police They were followed by Act ing Medical Examiner Graves, who pronounced the man dead and had the body removed to Moriarty's morgue. The police lost no time in getting all possible Information and bringing, very good results. The alleged mur- derer was in their hands and together with the man who is said to be most important to the state, brother of the dead man. Sullivan, the name on 1 the writ charging him with murder and by which he is known ito the po- lice, probably because 1t is easier of pronunciation than the mans real name, is about thirty years old, five feet eight inches tall, and about 15O pounds in weight. The witness, the dead mans brother. is about twenty two years old, and about the same size and weight as the alleged murderer. Both were fairly we'll dressed. By order of Medical Examiner Graves the dead mans brother was arrested.
 | The oft repeated statement that a murderer will return to the scene of his crime appears we'll grounded in this case. The body had for some time been lying in Moriarty's morgue when man, visfbly excited, pressed This way forward to obtain a view of the body. Long and intently he looked upon the corpse, while every nerve in his body seemed to jingle. He left as he had come, roughly and appar- ently in temper. His actions caused him to be observed by all present, among whom were many Italians. Al most the moment he had departed, in fact it is said he had scarcely passed the door when his fellow countrymen l dashed upon him and he broke away and fled. His hat fell off as he ran and thus a clue was left in the hands of the police. He was chased across East Main street, through Spring street, and he took shelter in H. E. Ioucks' barn on Scoyill street. He was seen getting into a buggy that was standing in the shed and every body was afraid to approach him. Word was sent the police and Patrol men Brearton, Mclean and Berg1n ar rived. The man was then taken into custody after a. hard struggle. This was about 1O:3O o'clock, an hour and l half after the crime was reported to the police.
 All the way to the police station the
 man fought with the desperation of one charged with a capital ofense. He was searched upon arriving at the DO lice station, but nothing of a dangerous mature was found on him. He has two brothers, Andrea and Angelo, and lived with the latter at "A Jackson street. The dead man lived on North Leonard street and was employed by the Holmes, Booth & Haydens company.
 A story a1oat this morning had 1t that the crime was committed at 8 party which was gotten up to introduce to his fellow countrymen a young man who recently arrived in the country The house is said to be a boarding house kept by Tom Collins, an Italian. There was good deal of drinking go- ing on, it is said, and some of the guests were somewhat under the infIu- ence. The disturbance took place up- stairs and Collins remonstrated and told everybody to go downstairs. The guests went down and soon after the shot was fired. Collins went immedi- ately downstairs and he saw the dead
