 as in several other places here. Po- lice investigation shows that he bears an unsaVory reputation, having been in trouble wherever traced. He is alleged to be a fighter of some reputa- ton and is sometimes known as "Kid Bruno
 Although the matter was not re- ported directly to the police by MT. Sullivan, as soon as he applied at the Elm aergency hospital for treatment, de- tectives were assigned to find his as sailant. and later a general alarm was sent out for his apprehension. All departing tro11eys, trains and harbor boats were closely watched to prevent his escape.
 According to the police description of William Bruno, being sent broad cast throughout the country today, he is 27 years old, five feet eight inches in height. weighs 155 pounds He has dark hair, dark brown eyes and dark complexion. When last seen he wore black derby hat, reddish brown overeoat. blue suit with light stripe i running through it. He is further said to have an athletic build, a wait CT by occupation and associate of dis Solute women.
 private office this morning superir- 1 tendent of Police Eugene Birmingham expressed himself as very much dis ! pleased with the apparent efforts which had been made at the Chiara- l val1e restaurant last night to cloak the affair in secrecy. Said the Super intendent:
 Had not these efforts towards sec recy been made by all concerned we would have had Bruno under instant arrest.
 Why, a patrolnan passed the door of the saloon within a few minutes of the shooting and one call for help would have resulted in the arrest It was not until sometime after the in cident that the police were notified, and when the red lights were flashed upon the street, and men were sent to the scene to inquire even then, the affair was absolutely denied at the 1 restaurant. Policeman after police | man was turned away with the state ment that no shooting or trouble of the victim himself at first refused medical treatment wished for secrecy and after walking from his Main street place to the Emergency hos had to be threatened with arrest by pr. c. R. Pratt before he would con- sent to be transferred to St. Vim cents.
 Although we are doing everything that can be done to apprehend this man, sending our own officers to such other places last night. and telegraph ing description of the fugitive to all the larger centers, an hours time at the start of such an affair is worth a months time to the police at the ending.
 seThe Chief of Police of Boston has notified me that they have held a suspect, who was picked up upon our description, and are also tracing the movements of another man who left Boston by an early train for Green field, Mass, but although we shall send an officer to try and identify the man arrested. I do not believe it is Bruno"
 At the request of the police Coroner took an ante nortem statement of the events preceding and subsequent to the shooting. This was at the bod side of the patient between 10:3o and 11:3O, but upon hastening from the bedside to keep an appointment in Danbury, indicated that a public time. It is believed however, by those acquainted with the circum- stances that no evidence differing materially from that now in the hands of the police was secured.
 Elmer Mum, painter who resides at 395 Park avenue, said to a reporter for the Farmer today, when seen in the Sullivan saloon. which he is en- gagged in re-decorating: 4I was in the restaurant last night during the trouble There were several couples and Mrs. Lynch who reside on Elm street. James Sullivan a brother of the injured man was tending bar. Bruno, came back here after being deliberate intention of committing murder as he expressed himself in so many words. He did not at the time flash a gun, but must have procured it during the time between the first and second eviction. When Sullivan came back after the report blood was plainly discernabIe upon his clothes and a woman in the rear of the restau- rant called his attention to it. He did not at that time know he was in- Jured. To my knowledge Sullivan and Bruno never had any previous trou- b1e. but he is well known in this city as ready for any kind of trouble that may start. He lives at 254 State street upon the second floor.
 T did not go to police headquarters with the injured man as was first re- ported but called his friend, George Van Ness, who rooms with him at the Arlington. They went to the emer- geney department together I did not hear anyone in the rear room impose silence as to the affair, but the police drst came into the front room and Interviewed the bartender
 Sulliyan'S parents, both residents of Naugatuck, and several brothers and sisters were at the hospital today. They hastened to this city on receipt of information of his grave injury
 On account of the nature of SuTli- vans wound it is feared that should he survive the shock, infection may result
