TRIPLE SLAYER IS
 BELIEVED TO HAVE
 FLED THROUGH CITY
Hunt for Man Who Killed Former Friend and Two Policemen
 Heads This Way

That Oresto Shillitoni, the gangster for whom the police of New York are searching to avenge the death of two policemen and another enemy. was in Bridgeport on Tuesday last seems al- most certain from the evidence which has been secured by the local detec- tive department. ShiIIitoni last Satur- day night in a pistol battle shot and killed Patro1men Charles J. Teare and William Heaney, and an Italian-speak- Ing man named John Rizzo
 Although every avenue of escape was instantly guarded and steamships leaving the ports for distant countries have been searched, no trace of the Northrop, formerly a policeman in Danbury but later a resident of 811 Ha11ett street, Bridgeport, observed an automobile filled with apparently sap- prehensive Italian youths drive down Fairfield avenue and stop before a store run by local citizens of the same nativity. A slightly built, pock-mark- ed individual answering the description of the fugitive was hurried within where customers were abandoned while a conference took place. The man was later hurried into the au- tomobile, which bore a New York li- cense, and left in the direction of New Haven.
 Detectives who have since worked on the case have secured corroborative evidence of the informa ton already furnished the department, and while not seeing the men arrive or depart, a full description of the car was se- cured from Patrolnan Daniel Ryan, the traffic officer on duty at Fairfield avenue and Water street, whose at tention had been attracted to 1t while directing the stream of vehicles which had to move around 1t as 1t stood by the curb.
 It is not believed that the much wanted murderer stayed long in this city. but that some here know of his destination is more than probable
