ment yesterday afternoon at Coxsack-
lie, working with railroad gang He
was informed that his services were
not needed About o'clock he was
seen hanging about the Coxsackie de-
| pot and his actions were so suspic-
ious that William J. Perry, proprietor
OF the CobbIestone Inn at West Cox
! sackie, decided to watch him. Mr.
| Perry had read OF the $1,000 reward,
which the supervisors yesterday Of
| fered for the arrest and conviction of
the murderer.
Perry Swallowed the stranger a con
siderable time and finally notified a
constable. II was decided to offer
the man employment in order TO
draw him into conversation and Mr.
Perry, approaching him casually, sta
ted that he had heard the man want.
ed work and he could provide EN-.
ployment for him. He would give
him employment, he said in the Cob.
blestone Inn.
The Italian willingly accepted the
tender and went to the Inn with Mr.
Perry and constable. There the Ital
ian was suddenly confronted with a
pair OF handouts. which were placed
on his wrists, and locked up in bed
room. During the night he was mea
sured and found to be five feet six
inches tall and his weight was found
to be 1876 pounds. He was smooth
Of face, with swarthy hair. The pris
oner stated that he was % years old
but refused to tell his name. Wher
pressed, he asserted that he could moi
remember just what his name was.
