ing the arrested man have been dis

IaIazzotto left Palermo about a wear
ago, going to Brooklyn, N. Y, where
he got work with two brothers livinf
there.
AN ITALIAN CONVICT
Five months ago he was victim of
an assault, was wounded and was two
months in a hospital. He aftervard
returned to his brothers and refused
to give the names of his assaflants
and the American police wrote to the
Italian police to learn about his ante
cedents. They were informed from
Palermo that Ialazzotto had been con-
victed several times of assaults and
various other offenses in Palermo.
He was then arrested and sent N
Naples, whence he went to Palermo to-
gether with IL other condemned men.
He arrived March z and was accom-
panied from prison to the police Of
flee, where he was photographed and
released.
