OCCHIPINTI, IN CELL PLANS FOR MARRIAGE SOON Man Who Shot When For mer Husband Attacked Sweetheart Is Captured. VICTIM ABLE TO
 LEAVE HOSPITAL Prisoner will Assert He Shot to Save Woman
 From Fatal Wounds.

While walking about the city streets, where he is said to have been for the past month, while detectives have been searching for him, Joseph Occhipinti, aged 30, a fugitive from justice, wanted for attempted murder 1 of Luigi Costa. whom he shot five | times Ion October 2. at the corner of Atlantic and Lafayette streets, was apprehended by Detective Sergeant Peter Hall.
 Occhipinti offered but slight resist ance to the officer and it is believed that he is prepared with counsel to offer plea of warranted intervention to save the life of CarmeIina Rubito, | 96 Fulton street, who had been att tackled with a knife by her former
 husband, Costa, who was released from St. Vincent's hospital yesterday,
 where he was confined as the result of the accurate shots fired by Occhi-
 pinti, all of which took effect.
 Arraigned before Judge Frank l.. Wilder in city court this morning. Occhipinti, through his counsel,
 Israel J. Cohn. waived examination
 and was immediately bound oven, to the December term of the superior court under bond of $500. which was furnished by John Campo, a Frederic A. Bartlett was on the bench this morning but owing to his being a law tpartner of the counsel for the ac- fense, Judge Frank L. Wilder was as- signed to the case.
 The shooting, which occurred in
 front of Edward 5We1don's grocery store at Atlantic and Lafayette
 streets, on Saturday morning. Oct. 2,
 caused a sensation in Bridgeport. Car melina Rubito and Occhipinti were standing there when the woman was attacked by Costa. Seeing the gleaming knife raised above her she cried for assistance Occhinpinti opened fire upon Costa, but not before Costa's knife had cut the. woman s wrist. Costa dropped~vith five bull lets in his body and both Occhinpinti and the Rubito woman disappeared. She was caught later in the day but Ocehipintf escaped.
 It was learned by Detective Hall several days ago that Occhipinti was not more than five miles from the city where he had hidden since the crime. A dragnet was set by the police with the probable result that Occhipinti was driven from cover.
 He was walking on Courtland street, near John. at g o'clock this morning, when Hall recognized him. Walking up behind the fugitive the officer grabbed him firmly by the shoulder and wrist and though Occhi- .pinti struggled to release the grip foe minute or so. he readily agreed to accompany the officer to Aheadquar- ters.
 Arrangements have been completed whereby Occhinpinte will resume his position a rubber moulder at the plant of the Can1e1d Rubber Go. on Housatonic avenue on Monday morn ing.
 Carmelina Rubfto, his, intended wife, did not appear in city court this morning as counsel had advised that examination be waived and a plea. for self-defense will be entered in the higher court.
 Arrangements have been practically completed whereby Miss Rubito and Occhinpinti will be married after the trial has been. completed in the higher court, they are confident of an ac- quitta1 being granted Occhinpinti.
