 As DecOy.

With the arrest yesterday in New York city of Gaetano CiIlento and Sabato CilIento, his son, charged not only with keeping fence for the disposal of stolen goods, but also un- der the Sullivan law, with carrying known that Antonio Aurillio and liar ry Dellacca, now awaiting trial in the superior court for series of burglaries in Bridgeport were con nected with one of the worst gangs of thieves in New York.
 The police authorities of New York, are said to have uncovered a system of organized thievery, whereby through the instigation of many re- ceivers of stolen goods in New York throughout Connecticut and other parts of New England have been en- couraged to steal sproniscuous1y and bring the stolen goods to New York.
 Gaetano CiIIento and his son, Saliva tore, found to be human arsenals, were street, Brooklyn, following a call of Detective Sergeant George Fox and Antonio Aurillo at police headquarters on Mulberry street, where Inspector Fsaurot was placed in possession of sufficient evidence to cause him to at once send out half score of detec- lives.
 While AurilIio was sent into the eel lar where the two Cillentos were hid ing, and conversed sufficiently with the pair to assure the police that his statements were bona hde, the detec- tiyes broke into the room and before either of the gangsters was able to draw his revolver overpowered them It was found that the two gangsters carried two large revolvers. Other members of the gang are alleged to have made their escape. A general fe1

He was given a deposit of $5 on the suitcase and demurred at accepting 1t, for he believed that he was to be swindled by the thieves. Upon assurance that when sold he would receive adequate comp he accepted the depos- it and coming back to Bridgeport re- turned the day following with an other suitcase full. He was given $55 for the previous days spoil and the second case-ful1 netted $7O-a total of $13O for goods estimated by the owner to be worth $7OO.
 On January 31, while Del1acca watched outside the Brunswick pool par1or was burgIarized the first time. Ivory billiard balls valued at $2OO were taken. At 5 o'clock the follow ing morning Auri11io took train to New York and met Cillfento, who of fered him $2O for the outfit AuriIIio refused to take it saying: esI would rather take the balls back to Bridge port and return them to the owner,' He later took the s20 and had much difficulty in explaining to his partner how he received so little cash.
 On all the robberies the two split equally and money was coming so fast after the Quinn robbery that the pair decided they would only rob safes. They had planned number of burg laries in this city as well as having made pilgrirnages to nearby towns to
