Recognized in Waterbury.


Waterbury, March Embarrassing
! developments became known here to-
Gay when Adam Radaeskas Of the
no doubt but what the two men who
are under arrest In Wilmington
charged with murder are the two
r1en who were in Waterbury, Bernard
Montvid and Peter Melba, alias Kra
kas alais Kelly. Mr. RadaesKas says
that when Montvid boarded here for
eleven days the boarding mistressA
Mrs. Frank Mulesky, was suspicious
that he was concerned in the murder
Of the Rev. Joseph Zebris and his
Eousekeeper in New Britain on Feb
ruary s. and that she absolutely re-
fused to stay in the house with him.
Radeskas, who boards with Mrs.
Mulesky, says that Montvid used to
leave the house every morning at
O'clock, presumably to meet some pal.
Radaeskas also states that every time
Montvil left the house with the eN-
ception of the morning trips, he,
Radaeskas. went with him.
Saw Montvid Signalling.
II used to go to dances and con-
certs with him. he said, land on the
evening of Sunday, February IA, we
went to concert. There I saw this
stranger. Montvid, make some signals
with another strange Lithuanian, who.
I learned went under the name OF
Kelly at times. This other man and
Montvid held a conversation, and l
haven't seen Kelly since. l haven't
seen Montvid since February 20. He
said that day he was going to Boston,
but when shown the Boston train,
went back into the railroad station,
thinking his companion, Mr.. Mulesky,
had gone. Montvid said, when he
met Muelsky in the station, that the
train pointed out to him was not the
Eoston train, but it was. Later
Muiesky put him on board a Boston
train himself as he wanted to get rid
of him. I have learned since that
Briatin, where he stayed TO r,wo days,
when he disappeared"
Radaesl1as was shown pictures to-
day of both Montvid and Irakas, and
positively identified Montvid as the
man who boarded at Mulesky's home.
He said he was "Pretty sure" the
ether picture was that of krakas, but
hc wasn't positive, he said, as he
didn't pay particular attention to him
when he saw Montvid signal the other
stranger with his fingers. Both the
state police and the locar police are
searching for a typewriter which
Mcntvid is said to have had in Water
bury, and on which Montvid is said
to have written to a Polish priest in
New Britain, demanding $4,000, or
else be murdered.

The weather for the past few days

Both sides have been very active in

Montvid then offered to pay him If

the master Of the house refused.
|. Meeting Mt Hotel York.
During the course Of this midnight
conversation Montvid talked freely,
as man sometimes does when a lit
tie drunk. He mentioned the name
OF the Hotel York quite frequently
and spoke of a meeting of the de
tectives' at this hotel that very even
ing. He said the chief" was there
and all of the "detectives' wore dis
guises, such as wigs and whiskers.
His only disguise. he said, was a false
mustache, which he exhibited
1t is a significant fact that when
arrested Montvid had sucn Il mus
tache on his person.
Both Will Be Tried.
From information received today 1t
appears that both Montvid and Mel
ba will be tried in Wilmington for
the murder of Policeman Tierney.
While Media is the man who actually
fired the shot that killed the officer.
Montvid will be charged with being
an accomplice before the fact. If he
lis found guilty his sentence would
likely be the same as Melba's and in
Delaware the punishment for muir
der is hanging.
Because Of this feature Of the case
some doubt was expressed today by
Prosecuting Attorney George w. klett
as to whether or not the state of Con-
necticut will be able to extradite
either of the two men and bring them
back to New Britain to answer for
their crime here.
Who Gets Reward.
Now That the identity of the two
men seems to be established there is
beginning to be a lot of speculation
as to who will receive the reward of
$4,000 While the Wilmington police
arrested the men they did not arrest
them for the New Britain murder and
at that very time the local police were
chasing these very men, so the local
police say. The names Of Court In
terpreter MalinowsEi, State Policeman
Hurley. Detective Bamforth and Of
fcer Tied" Malone are being prom
inently mentioned as having I'M
earthed the first clue to the identity
of the men, There has also been some
talk about the possibility Of turning
the $4,000 reward over for the sup
port of the children left fatherless by
the murder of Policeman Tierney.
A months mind mass was cele-
hrated at 10 o'clock this morning at
st. Andrews Lithuanian church for
the repose of the soul Of Rev. Joseph
Zebris. A number Of priests from
churches in neighboring towns and
cities were in attendance. 1t was
month ago today that the funeral was
held.
