Bridgeport Police Look Into Record of Alleged Accom- plice of Gunman, Arrested for Bridgeport Crime, and Believed to Have Slain Couple in Europe.
Prisoner is Reported to
 Have Boasted of His Criminal Record, and Thusi to Have Inspired Terror Among His Compatriots Aged People, their Dog
 Poisoned, Shot to Death.

Believed to have murdered and robbed a wealthy elderly couple, in France, after poison-. ing their dog, just previous to. his migration to this country,I three years ago, Frank Cravino,, 37 years of age, of 42O North avenue, who was arrested yes-' terday, is the object of polices investigation.
 A sensation was created in police circles today as a result of the double murder allegation made against Cra-4 vino, by some of his fellow country: men, of which Cravino is said to have openly boasted.
 Cravino has a reputation among his countrymen of being a bad man., Yesterday Andrew Calabrese, of 139; Stella street, went to the authorities and told them that he was in fear of his life. He claimed that Cravinot was trying to kill him.
 Lieut.. Edward Cronan, found that Cravino, following the methods em- ployed in the famous New York Ro- senthal murder case. had attempted to hire another Italian who is known to the police and admits he was ap- preached on the subject to enter a, house opposite the scrap metal works, of the J. w. Beach Co.,, on Stella street, and shoot Calabrese.
 The latter is employed by the scrap metal company and works at a bench on the second floor of the building, at an open window. It was Cravino's intention to furnish the hired gunman \ with rife, have him enter the tene- fnent opposite the plant and drop Calabrese, whom he blamed for los- 1 ing a job, at his bench.
 Following the arrest of Cravino, ! Lieut.. Cronan proceeded to investi- gate the reports of his bad character. According to this police official, Cra-l vino lived in a suburb of France, close to the cottage of an old man. and his wife who were considered wealthy.
 Their only protection against in- ] truders was a huge watchdog, which they kept in the yard. Cravino need ing ready cash and wanting to come to America, is alleged to have pro- cured a long stick on which he fast ened a piece of poisoned meat. He approached the cottage, pushed the stick through the fence, the dog dying a few minutes after eating the meat.
 The watchdog out of the way, Cra- vino vauited the fence, rushed into the house and murdered the old cou- pie in cold blood, ransacking the house and making his escape with SIP, |, which he found in a bedroom. Cra- 1 vino, who has been in this country { three years. immediately came to !. America.
 It is claimed by the police that Cra- :; vino openly boasted of his crime and is held in such fear and awe by his countrymen that they dared not tell the authorities.
 In court this morning his case was continued by the police until Saturday. bonds being fixed at $1,0O0. pending an investigation of the alleged mur. der. The authorities in France will be communicated with, and the local police will probably ask the Federal government to deport Cravino.

The women had previously canvass ed stores in the neighborhood in search of milk for their children and finding none for sale, they gathered at the city staNons. A few were ad- mitted. Those on the outside, fear ing that the supply would be exhaust ed before they could be served, rush. ed the doors of the building.
 7. Officers in charge of the stations said their supply today was less than half of that Heceived yesterday.
 Efforts to compromise the contro- versy between the producers and the city distributors having failed, con- sumers today pinned their hopes upon the state investigation which is to be- gin before a referee here tomorrow. Some indication of a possible settle. !ment also was seen in an offer by one of the big distributors to give the farmers an advance of cents a hun dred pounds over the prices hereto fore prevailing. ..
 The dai1ymen's league insists upon m advance of 45 cents hundred pounds. It was rumored today that

MAN SAVES FARM HAND
 AND SMALL BOY AFTER DESPERATE
 ENCOUNTER WITH INFURIATED COW

After his body had been covered with e mass of bruises, and one ear half torn off, George Ferris, foreman on the old Read estate on Greenfield Hill, was able to return to his work today, limping and aching after a narrowing experience with an enraged COW.
 Ferris 10 year old son, Charles, is carefully avoiding the COW pasture. His own experience, while resulting may survive unhurt.
 Twice tossed in the air by an angry animal, young Charles was uninjured. Attacked by the same COW, his father was trampled for several minutes. and probably would have been fatally in- 1ured but for his rescue by W. H. ons but his hanhs, attacked the COW fin turn and saved his foreman.
 Ferris, who /is caretaker for the Read estate. now occupied by MT. Botsford and his three sisters. had left a COW in the care of Clarence Banks. nefshbor. MT. Botsford ex- mal.
 NIT. botsIoro, erriS' anu T CITE soh' accompanied by a bulldog, went to the pasture where the COW was being kept. They were aware that the anil nal hadn't been pastured all summer, Tut they didn't know it had been de- livered of a calf.
 Seeing the COW, the bulldog rushed for it, barking. The maternal in stinct. at it's strongest, so possessed the COW tkat it rushed for the dog. fearing for the calf.
 The dog turned tail and fled. As the boys pet, it rushed behind him for protection.
 With horns lowered, the COW kept roming. Too frightened to cry, the boy was swept up in the animals

horns and tossed high in the air. Fall ing. he landed on the cows back.
 Just as the boy was rolling off, the COW caught him again with its horns It tossed him about 12 feet away.
 The boys father. looking for a chance to rescue him, rushed forward Thoroughly enraged by this time, the COW made for him.
 It struck Ferris with its horns knocking him down. Then, more vic- fous than ever, it 1eaped upon him. trampling him from head to foot.
 MT. Botsford had been stunned by the suddenness of the attacks. He hesitated only a moment, however, then himself rushed at the COW.
 He grasped the animal by the horns and with terrific effort twisted it's neck so that the animal was drawn, inch by inch, to one side, despite it's strength born of anger.
 Pushing the animals legs from him Ferris was able to crawl a few feet away, then rise to his feet and run. MT. Botsford shouted to the boy to run also for the fence. The bulldog had long since escaped.
 When his companions were safe, MT Botsford released his hold, then him. self ran. He made the fence before the cow, leaving it in undisputed pos session of the field,
 Ferris was bleeding from many cuts and one ear was hanging off. He was taken to the Bridgeport hospital where his wounds were treated. Later he was released and placed under the care of Dr. Frank H. McLaury of Westport. . It wasn't necessary to give medical aid to the boy. as he was un- injured despite his tossing.
 The bravery of MT. Botsford was the subject of much commendation when the story became known in Greenfield Hill.
