Dominick Citro, the Italian, who is
charged with having committed an out
ragous assault on Rosie Stolli, the seven
year old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Leo
inardo Stillo, of 1913 Washington street,
this city, was located In Wilkes Barre,
Pa, yesterday by Detective Lawrence
Long, who has been on his trail since
last Wednesday, when Recorder Pick
ersgill issued a warrant for the fellow g
arrest.
Detective Long went to Wilkes
Barre early yesterday morning as he
believed that Citro had gone there. At
g O'Clock last night Chief Burke re-
ceived telephone message from the
detective stating that he had caused
Citro g arrest and would appear against
him this morning. The Italian will be
held as fugitive until requisition pa
pers can be secured. Detective Long
was lauded by the chief this morning
for his excellent work and is expected
home tonight.
Last Wednesday morning Mr.. Stillo
told the police about the assaulting of
his daughter and how he and his friends
had tried to find the guilty man. Chief
Burke notified Prosecutor Booraem,
who on hearing the facts of the case,
told the chief to spare no expense in
running down the criminal. Chief
Burke told Detective Long to devote
all his time in the matter and the pur-
suit was started. The chief, Detective
Huff and Detective Long ran down sew
Ieral clues and traced the Italian to
New York, then to BROOKLYN, TO Jer-
Isey City, to Newark, to Hammonton
Atlantic City and Philadelphia Detec-
tive Long arrived home from the lat
ter place Saturday with some informa-
tion, which resulted in his going to
Wilkes-Barre yesterday.
| In arriving there the detective COM
municated with the Wilkes Barre po-
lice, and with their ASSISTANCE found
/ Citro last night and locked him up.
The Italian, Chief Burke saws, is about
thirty-two years old, medium height,
light complicated, blue eyes, wears a
light sandy curled up mustaehe, and ia
general has dudish appearance.
As soon as the necessary papers can
! be secured he will be brought back to
this county for trial The prosecutor
is elated over the capture, even more
SO than if the man was wanted for
murder.
Chief Burke had reason to believe
yesterday that Citro was in this city
and would have busy searching the
town today had not Detective Long
ltelephOned last night that the fugitive
twas in custody. A small boy told Mr..
Stillo yesterday morning that he had
seen Citro in Koch S wood and that the
man was living in small hut there.
Mr.. Stillo hurried to the place in spite
of the rain and discovered a small shell
ter made from boughs of trees. The
rain had drenched it and the father
found no one inside. He did find, how
ever, a % calibre rifle, two loaves of
italian bread, or bottles of milk, a
pair of shoes, coat, vest, pants and a
pair of chickens with their heads and
feet missing. Gathering the stuff to-
gether Mr. Stillo took it to the police
station and told the story to Chief
Burke. The chief said this morning
that he believes that some criminal has
been living in the hut and will inves-
Itigate the matter thoroughly. On ae-
count of the Italian bread it is believ-
ed that whoever has been there was an
Italian. 1t is also possible that sc
prisoners who escaped from the reform
atory Sunday night used it.
The boy who told Mr.. Stillo that the
man he saw there was Citro, will be
examined as the chief is anxious to
solve the mystery.
