Believed Himself safe.
Constantine. in his formal statement
made no explanation Of why he had re-
turned to this country after he was once
safely out Of H. He undoubtedly thought
that the whole thing had blown over, and
that he could resume his life here without
danger of arrest. He decided, after his
arrival. that the Chicago police were still
active, and hence his desire 10 get away
again. Constantine explained his fear Of
arrest on the ground that he realized the
appearances We're so strong against him.
II was this realization which prompted
him from the first % get out Of Chicago.
Constantine the police believe, had
made clever preparations 10 throw detec-
tives of his track in the event Of his
arrest lie had IN his possession a birth
certificate made out To Pasquale Gelorma,
whom he represented himself 10 be.
The police say that Pasquale Gelorma
is son of Paulo Gelorma. one of the
men who had taken care Of the youth in
this city. The certificate. according 10
the police, had been sent on 20 Constan-
tino when he was in Italy Constantine
also had letters addressed TO PasQuale
Gelorma.
II is likely that Detective Vachris, Of
the Brooklyn bureau, viii get the 81 800
reward offered for the arrest OF Con
stantino. lie got tip from friend that
Constantine was going 70 sail on Tuesday
night.
Constantino's mother. Rosa. runs a lit
tie grocery store at 800 East nth street
She is a widow Constantino's brother
Fritz was arrested last July in connec-
ton with the murder. he had taken his
brothers name after he had been sent 60
the pen for burglary and that led TO the
confusion which resulted IN his arrest.
The prisoner in Brooklyn is clean-cut,
with q Jewish appearance. He speaks
English fuently. and is bright For sew
eral years he worked as a salesman I'm a
shoe store. and then began 10 rove about
lie is twenty-three years old.
Jealousy is said 20 have inspired the
murder, although. according 10 Mr. Cen
try, Constantine owed his wife money
which she had lent him. Chicago po-
lice representatives are on their way here
TO take charge of the prisoner.
