with the head twisted over the shoulder
to make 1T fit in the trunk. they fell over
and set up a wailing that could be heard

they made such noise that the station
living room was rendered uninhabitable.
Isador seemed to recover himself
somewhat, and he aided the police In

brought In, said the dead man had sold
him a pair of earrings the previous day

the store
Caroll denied having seen the jewelry
salesman at Lombardi's store. but Le-
venthal identified him the man who
| had invited Sacks to come to sell some
! jewelry at No. 617 East 18th street,
where Carolli and FREDERICK Piedzurro.
his former partner in the saloon bust
ness, now live. Detectives Vigillio and
Cavoni. acting on this information. went
out and brought in Piedzurro. who had
been previously arrested for carrying
concealed weapons. He was found ut
No 226 East Doth street, where he and
Carolli had kept a saloon some years
ago.
Harris and Isador Sacks met their
father on Friday about noon at Roth
mans jewelry store, No. 10 Rivington
street. and he told them he would be
home at o'clock, as he had to go to
Lombardi's with Leventhal. then to
Reggano's. at No. 30 East Doth street
then to butcher shop in East 31st street
and later to the wife of a doctor in East
117th street. In the afternoon Reggano
called at the Third avenue store and
handed Harris a note from his father
concerning the setting of a precious
stone
The body was taken to the office short
ly after O'Clock and was identified a
quarter of an hour later. The three men
found in Lombardi's shop were at the
station, and later Piedzurro was taken
there. and still the body remained in the
trunk. because Coroner Holzhauser. who
was on duty at the Coroners' office had
not come. At last, about L o'clock In
spector Russell got leave to take the
body from the trunk and send it TO the
morgue.
1t was then found that there was some
sawdust in the trunk or about the
clothes. and that the jewelry case which
the old man carried with him had been
packed in the trunk with him; but 1t
was empty.
The Sacks boys said their father car
RED nearly $4,000 worth of jewelry. and
besides, 5000 TO $500 in cash. the funds
OF various Jewish societies of which he
was treasurer. This naturally supplied
the motive for the crime. and the de-
tectives redoubled their efforts to trace
the old man during the hour which
elapsed from the time Lombar(ii saw him
in his store, at No. IFS Chrystie street
to the time when the new trunk contain
ing his body was carried by two men
into the hallway at No. 81 Goerck street
Little Margaret Chadwick cannot iden-
tify any one. but she says one man was
big and another small Some women were
sitting on a doorstep near by, and told
the detectives they had seen two men
carry in trunk. 1t had been brought
from the direction of the fish market.
