If Salvatore Fasano, who keeps . fruit store on West Main street, had not had . wish to marry, Dcmenico Ruggiero. alias Antonio Falxerano, would not have found himself in the city court to-day charged with steal- ing from his would-be brother-in- law. Salvatore, $47 cash. silver watch woth s and an oyercoat worth $10. Fasano went to New York early this week to see his nephew 0ff for Italy. Of course he wished to see the sights of the big city md In 70 doing he ran across Dominica and somehow they got acquainted and Fasano com municated to him hls wish to marry. Now 1t happens that Dominica has a sister, named Angeline, and she also had a wish to wed. Dominica told himself that 1t was cupid sent this couple his way and he told Fasano of his sister. FasanO said he would like to see her and they went to D0Inini- co.'s abode and Fasano remained out side at the door. Dominica went in and told his sister there was fellow outside who wished to marry and if she would go and get pail of beer she could see what kind of looking fellow he was. She took the pail and in passing cast her eye over Fasano. and on her return told her brother Fasano was all right, she would mar ry him, but she would like to know more about him. Fasano then enter ed the hOuse. He said he had fruit store in Waterbury, at 5O6 West Main street and he invited Dominica up to take look at it and see if he was not able to maintain a wife. He told of Angeline that she could easily do worse than marry him, perhaps she would wed Q fellow that would starye her. The three drank the pail of beer and the next day the two men started for Waterbury and incidental ly the undoing. of Dominica.
 Arriving here the store was looked over and found to be satisfactory and Fasano showed his guest his bank book and all his property and they had a phil of beer on 1t. Night came and Dominico, still Fasano's guest went to bed. He was aroused in an hour, he though. by some one kissing him and Kissing his hands md lock- ing up he saw it was his host. He got up. They had luncheon and again he. went to bed, this time accompan- jed by his host. During the night Do- minico said ir the city court to-day, that he nwoke and putting. out hiS hands they came h cbntact with 6omething that jineled like money; Further investigation showed It was A watch chain. It was Fasano's in his vest hanging on n chair. This led to further investigation and Dominico found Fasano had placed his pOcket- book, containing AT under the mat tress, and Dominico made mp his mind right then that he would make Fasa- no, his would be-brother-In-law pay dearly for his lack of faith In human nature. Quietly he arose and dressed, he extracted the money from under the mattress, he took the watch and also Fasano's Overcoat. The rest of the story was told in the Democrat last evening.
 "why did you take these thingsT' asked Prosecutor Meigs.
 "Well," said Dominica, through the interpreter, "I took the watch because I needed time. I took the money hop ing to return 1t after Angeline and Fasano were married and I took the overcoat because 1t was cold. He was on his way to New York to convey the glad tidings to his sister that Fa- sano would make first class husband when he was corralled In Bridgeport and brought back.
 Judge Peasley did not think Domi- nico a safe man to allow at large and he held him for the superior court in ball of $l.OOO. Fasano has charged his mind about marrying. at least marrying his ex-guest's sister An- geline, who will he surprised at her brothers silence, concerning his visit of investigation as to Fasano's world ly possessions.
