investigate.
When the officers arrived the street |
was blocked with people who were all |
talking at once, and as they were talk !
ing in italian it was difficult matter |
to learn the facts.
Finally Detective Donnelly learned |
from one of the men that the man who !
had done the shooting was Augustine |
Guglielmino of IS Fair street, and that
he had, after the shooting, run down
Fair street to Wooster street and
thence to Water street. Detectives
Donnelly and Colwell then started in
pursuit and followed the man down
Water street to the corner of Brewery
street. At this point a stop was made
| in Frank Murphys saloon. Here it
was learned that the man had stopped
there and had left about three minutes
before the officers arrived. Detective
DonnelIy then sent word to the Grand
| avenue police station and asked for
help. The wagon from that station
was sent with load of men and with
the detectives the lumber yards and
the entire vicinity was searched for
the man but without any signs of him
being found.
In the meanwhile DR.. Mcclure was
attending the wounded man. AS soon
as he saw his condition he telephoned
for the police ambulance and ordered
the man taken to the New Haven hos
pital. An inspection at the hospital
showed that the man had five bullets
in him. Three bullets are In the top
of his head: another is just above the
ear, and the fifth one is lodged in the
left side of his stomach. The shots were
all fired from 3S-calibre revolver and
| they all made very clean wounds. A
peculiar fact is that although every one
of the wounds are serious none of them
shed very much blood. The physicians
worked, over the man nearly all night,
but it was stated at the hospital at an
early hour this morning that the chance
of the man living much longer was
very slight. rr $685..
Detective Dunlap and officers Rowley
and Herman carried on an inspection of
the ground where the tragedy happened
but with little success. Finally just as
Detective Dunlap was going away from
the scene man named Augustine Cor
so of AZ Fair street and his nine-year-
old son Joseph informed the detectives
that they had witnessed the shooting.
This is the story they told the detective.
They said that they saw Joseph Gugliel-
mino hold Caputo while his (Gugliel-
mino's) two brothers, Augustine and
Coloccio, fired the five shots into the
man. Augustine then ran down Fair
street,! Joseph ran iato his house close
by where the shooting occurred, while
"Goloccio ran across the street to his
home. - Oh x.tF s.rq g.,
I. As soon as Detective Dunlap heard
this he went to the house across the
street and started search for Coloccio,
but while number of people said that
: they had seen, him enter the house no
signs OFF him were found and It is be-
lieved that he escaped from the house
i during the excitement.
Detective Dunlap then went across
the street to the home Of Joseph, and
found that he was locked up in a room
on the ground floor. The officer forced
the door and placed the man under ar
rest. He was taken to police head
quarters and locked up in cell No. 36,
where, by order of the coroner, he was
held without bail, the charge of breach
of the peace being placed against his
name. Corso and his son accompanied
Detective Dunlap and his prisoner to
headquarters and told their story to
the coroner, who had just arrived from
the hospital. Owing to the unconscious
condition of the victim, 1t was irnpos-
sible for the coroner to get any kind
of an ante mortem statement from the
injured man. "'
The coroner examined the officers,
the Corsos Gather and sony and also
Guglielmino, although he was unable
to get any valuable information from
the latter. Chief Wrinn, Captain
Cowles and Sergeant Cook sent out a
general alarm all over the city and
state and also to New York, Spring
field, Boston and Rhode Island. No
signs of either Of the two brothers has
Iyet been found. - x.
