SOUTH WILTON MURDER
 MYSTERY CLEARED UP
State Policeman vlreIli Captures Bandit Working Under Guise of Honest
 Shop Hand
Says Prisoner Confessed His Guilt-Had Eluded Auth
 critics for fight Months

Malvaso lost his job and blamed Fus- co for it although at the time he did not let Fusco know. Malvaso hung around New Canaan and one day asked Fusco to accompany him to the woods where he would show him two woodchucks which he had trapped. Malvaso was armed with a two bar reled shotgun and when a spot in fhe woods far removed from the highway was reached he discharged both bar re]s into Fusco's body and left him as he supposed dead and in Q spot where the body would not be found. Friends of Fusco however in search ing for him discovered the wounded man who was cared for and told who did the shooting.
 Malvaso made his escape and was sought for days in the woods but he managed to elude his pursucrs. living on birds that he shot and what he could steal from neighboring farms.
 The shooting of Fusco took place on August 21, 1911. On August 31 he made his way through the woods to the Maudlin farm in Wilton where in an outhouse on the Maudlin farm he sought shelter and built a fire. Marry Maudlin noticed smoke coming from the building and on investtgat- ing found Malvaso and ordered him from the place. As Malyaso started to leave Maudlin turned to walk to  shot him twice.
 Maudlin was found by his father who had not heard the shots and 1t was not until sometime later that it was found that he had been shot. his father thinking that he had had a fit. Malvaso had plenty of time to make his escape and hid in the sur rounding woods for days eIuding posse after posse and at one time Q member of the state police who was not more than 200 feet from him. Finally all trace of him was lost and the case placed in Virellfs hands.
 After search which took him in- to Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey he received tip that Malvaso was working in the Capewell horse nail factory in Hartford under the name of Frank Prello. Today In the guise of a factory inspector vireIli visited the factory and found Malvaso working at one of the machines and mmediately placed him under srrest, After his arrest he admitted tho crimes charged against him and win bo taken to Bridgeport late today and placed in charge of ehsri6 Yollnof.

Frees Man Who
 Stole Own Watch
Frank Buckley Finds Time. piece in Pawnshop and
 Walks Out With It

Frank Buckley had the pleasure Of stealing his own watch this morning and was upheld by the law in doing so. Several weeks ago the timepiece was extracted from Buckley's pocket and he regarded 1t as lost. This morning, while gazing at the glittering array in Jacob Kleinburger's Water street pawn shop, he saw the ticker. He went inside and tried to get 1t out, but the proprietor said there was nothing doing unless Buckley paid charges of $5.50.
 Thereupon Buckley went to Davis & Hawley's( where he had previously left the watch to be repaired. and ob- tained the numbers. He returned to the pawnshop and asked to see the timepiece. When 1t was handed over he put the watch in his pocket and walked out. The pawnbroker yelled Police and Policeman George Mur- phy arrested Buckley. The matter was placed in the hands of Prosecutor Delaney who declared Buckley had a right to take his own watch. So Buckley walked away with the prec- ious turnip in his pocket.

Cloaking his 1awlessness under the guise of an honest shop hand, Pee wee," the South Wilton outlaw for whom the state and Fairfield county authorities have been looking for eight months, was arrested at work in a factory at Hartford this morn ing.
 State Policeman Frank virelli made the arrest. He Mas been on Peewee' trail since the murder of Harry Maudlin, a South Wilton, Conn.,, far mer, on August 31. But the authori- ties of that town as we'll as County Sheriff Vollmer and his deputies had been seeking the undersized outlaw for two weeks before the staying of the South Wilton farmer.
 The ultimate capture of 'Peewee'' mer or State Policeman VireiH had expected, for @ number of times they believed they had him within their reach only to find that he had van ished.
 Virelli said that "Peewee" had con- fessed to the South Wilton murder. The confession clears up what at first took on the aspect of one of the most remarkable murder mysteries of the county. For a time the authorities on many leads probed deep into the Maudlin family history, sus- pecting that the strange, almost her mode of existence of the vic- tim and his aged father, in a little farm house from whom all woman kind for years had been barred, was in a way linked up to at first mex plicable circumstances of the murder.
 Later clues led the authorities to a conviction that the crime was the work of no other than the diminu- tive prisoner to whose capture they then turned every effort. At first they feared he had sailed back to his na- tive land. Italy, but later clues gave them satisfactory proof that he had not gone far from the scene of his crime.
 The prisoner is Giuseppe Malvaso, aged 34, feet inches tall, frail and swarthy. In his arrest the authori- ties believe they have run down not only the slayer of Maudlin but also the assailant of Giuseppi Fusco, d -in-law.
 F'usco and Malvaso came from the same province in Italy. Fusco who had a job in a New Canaan factory secured work for Malvaso and the two lived together. For some reason

Williams is said to have secured an option on the Erie railroads waste coal properties, known as "culm pits.'' as the agent of Judge Archibald. Williams was sworn yesterday and ordered to remain in Washington until his testimony is completed. A report that Williams intended sudden trip to Europe pre- cipitated the present investlga tion.

 While in the ante-room of the grand jury room, he said, George 4. Cragin, assistant sales manager of the Amer ican Steel & Wire Company, told him that Baackes wanted to see him out in the hall. He went out.

Both he and Baackes told me they wauted me to tell the truth but that they hoped that would not say anything about any order to burn the papers."
 But both Baackes and Cragiu tried to tell you what to say and Cragfn asked you to tell . story that would support the one he had told, didn't her demanded Dickinson.

 Whitney became very nervous while his examination progressed and seem ed about to break down but he stuck closely to his original story under a bitter crOss-examination.

Brocky, in tumblsdown hut that
could not be rented TO anyone else.

of the amounts leaned The contractor
began to pay rent on the house In
which he lived.
Three months after the foreclosure
the miser lay dying. An urgent mes
sage reached the contractor, and he.
surprising that the other, knowing his
end to be near, wanted to make what
restitution he could for the good OF
his soul. hurried down to the cabin
He found the old man in rickety bed
covered with a tattered quilt and az

ear hopefully to the others lips. The
miser drew a long breath, clutched
the quilt in a skinny hand, and whis-
pered:

Why 10 this? Because the average
European man is given no training In
his boyhood that will enable hiw to

The result is that the European
