 PETROSINO'S SLAYERS
Believed that Arrests Will Be Made in a Few
 Days.

New York, April 3.-The police de paI-tment here received word from Palermo, Italy, today to the effect that the names of the slayers of Lieutenant Joseph Petrosini are known to the Italian authorities and their arrest is a. matter of a few days.

Numerous arrests have been made.
