Nab Man for Shooting Fellow
Countryman near Eaton
town, Monmouth County.
ON THE BOAT PERTH AMB0Y
After Securing Monmouth Co.
Detectives Come Here and
Arrest GaIatro for Murder.

After securing Monmouth county
hour last night the search of seven
teen detectives and policemen came
to an end in this city at midnight,
when their quarry, John Galatro,
twenty-three years old, accused OF
shooting dead fellow countryman
with shot gun at Pine Brook about
two miles from Eatontown, was ar
rested on the ferryboat Perth Am
boy at 1925 o'clock. The man is al
legged to have shot to pieces the heart
of Frank Arnone, tF, ty-five years
old, of Pine Brook, the victim was
sitting with memb, 8 of his family
under the shade of an apple tree
shortly after / o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon. The alleged murderer IL
now being held without bail in the
Monmouth county Jail at Freehold.
He cleans that the killing was an ac-
cident and that he was shooting at
birds when he missed his aim.
Arnone was sitting near his home
at Pine Brook, according to the story
when Calatro approached. There
had been bad blood between the two
men. Galatro had shot gun but
this did not raise the suspicious OF
Arnone, near whom was sitting his
wife and several children. 1t seems
1t was nothing unusual for members
OF the neighborhood to carry shot
guns in hunting for crows or other
crop-destroying birds. When within
twenty-feet of Arnone, it is said, Gal
afro raised his gun, took deliberate
aim and sent a load OF small bird
shot into Arnone's heart. Arnone
fell over dead and the alleged MUIR
derer, finding horse grazing In the
field nearby. used it in escaping
through the woods.
County Physician Harry Neasie
viewed the body after County Prose
eutor Charles Sexton had been noti-
fed. Immediately seventeen de-
tectives and policemen from sur
rounding precincts were pressed into
service and systematic search was
organized. Captain Wallie, Of the
Long Branch police, Monmouth
County Detectives John NJ. Smith
and Lawrence J. Mccormick and
Central Railroad Detective I. D. Ro-
senberg traced the fugitive toward
this city They held up the 9:27
o'clock train at Matawan and found
Galatro was not aboard. They
reached this city shortly before IL
O'Clock and watched every person
that got aboard the boats. The boat
that left at 1925 they decided to
board, as they had seen an Italian
that looked like their man get
aboard. After the boat had started
they found Galatro and surprised
him as he stood in the shadow of the
mems cabin.
Galatro carried no gun and offer
ed no resistance to the sleuths, as he
saw at once that he was outnumber-
ed. The alleged murderer was land
ed here when the boat returned, and
then taken to the Long Branch Jail,
preparatory to being removed to
Freehold, the county seat, today.

its affairs completely. When it does,
1t is expected that about s65 will
remain in the treasury. This will be

tation tie-up in its history. This

the men would make no attempt to
prevent the surface and elevated
lines running one car a day necessary
for the companies to hold their fran
chise from the city. He said there
would be no interference with mail
cars, but the regular union men
would have charge of them.
There are 4,500 cars idle, 1900
miles of traffic tied up, nineteen pow
er houses closed down and nearly
100000 passengers carried daily on
the surface and elevated lines ef-
fected. Approximately 100000 in

refused to go out. The strike lead
ers laughed at this and declared the
trains crews were made up of strike
breakers.

"OLD GLORY" FLOATS over
CITY, TODAY BEING FLAG DAY

Flag Day, the one hundred and thir-
ty-eighth anniversary of the birth of
the American flag, which is being OBJ
served throughout the entire nation
today, was ushered in by the sounding
of whistles at 8 O'Clock in this city
this morning. Flags are displayed in
all parts Of the city in front of resi-
dences, business places and from the
flag staff. of every public building in
accordance with the proclamation of
President Wilson, Acting Governor
Edge and that of Department Com
mander Samuel G. Garretson of the G..
A. R. that was issued Saturday through
the NEWS, asking all to put in public
view on American flag and TO have as
far as possible all bells rung and whis-
ties. blown at s clock, on boats and
factories through this section of the
state. Patriotic celebrations are being
held and the day is being generally
observed more this year than during
the past several years, because of the
peaceful attitude of this country in
contrast of that of the eou tries of
Europe.
Because a small American flag
was used by foreman as danger
signal, and the stars and stripes
were stuck in an undignified manner
on short post amongst considerable
debris, wrankled the mind of a pa
triotic citizen Saturday afternoon
and he complained of the outrage"
to Patrolman Gutowski The officer
found that Gustav Sund. contrac-
tor of Woodbridge, had been doing
some work near the Roessler &
Hasslacher plant in High street, and
had used Old Glory for want of a
solid red danger flag. The foreman
was absent when the patrolman ar
rived, but the watchman took the
flag down at the request of the OH
Ger and placed another signal flag
in its place.

HAS $4,000, TRIES
TO KILL SELF TWICE
Michael HaIenda Thinks He
Has Been Mistreated and
Tries Suicide in Cell.

Because he had been mistreated
by his fellow men was the reason CIV
en- by Michael Halenda, a cripple
with a bank account of $1,000, why
he tried to hang himself twice last
night in the local lookup. Both
times he was cut down by Desk Ser
geant McDermott. On his first at
tempt to end his life the man strung
himself from the steel lattice sur
rounding the cells with his belt The
second time he stripped himself and
made gallows ropes by tearing to
pieces his underwear. The recorder
excused the man for his attempts at
suicide, but fined him $40 on a
charge of being drunk and disorderly
on the street. Though worth more
than $4,000, Halenda says he will
not pay the fine and may go to jail
for sixty days.
According to Ratrolman Martin,
who arrested Haienda, the man waH
found drunk In gutter along upper
Smith street between and 6 o'clock
last night. The man had two big
bruises about his right forehead and
said that he had been assaulted. The
officer could not locate his assailant
and thought perhaps Halenda had
hurt himself when he fell.
Hangs Himself in Cell.
The man had been in the lookup
about two hours when he began to
recover from his spree. Sergeant
McDermott suddenly heard frantic
rapping on the door and was In
formed by another prisoner that the
man was trying to hang himself. The
sergeant went around the corridor
and saw Halenda hanging from the
top of the steel grating by belt.
His eyes were bulging and the man
slowly strangling. Sergeant Nc
Dermott drew knife from his pock-
ct, split the belt and Halenda
dropped. The man seemed deter
mined on taking his life and before
II O'Clock the sergeant heard an
other rapping on the door and
reached Halenda as the man was
tying his throat in a moose made
from strips of his underclothes. The
sergeant cut the underwear to pieces
and dragged him into the padded cell
and placed his clothes on the cell
floor. The man seemed to have lost
MS Q6SlIe 10 udu5 WHICH Oh ni 6hou-
He showed the recorder a receipt
signed by Alex Kraemer, of Roose-
Welt, for the American Express Com
pany, acknowledging $4,000 which
had been deposited last week by
Halenda to be sent to his home in
Hungary through the Transatlantic
Trust Company. Halenda's wife died
several weeks ago. He has several
children In this city and Roosevelt,
and a father and SOC In Hungary.
The man told the recorder that eight
years ago he had been injured when
a Pennsylvania train smashed a
vehicle in which he was riding and
that he had recovered $500, $4,000
of which he had saved, and had sent
it to the old country, expecting to
return to Hungary as soon as the
war Is over. He said he had letters
from friends In Hungary assuring
him the war would be over by the
end of this year. AS the result of
the railroad accident Halenda's left
arm was so crushed that it was
rendered useless for life and hangs
limp by his side He is declared to
have spent much time panhandling
since the accident. He lives in
Jaques street.
