Builder Shoots Partner
During Desperate Fight
Over Transfer of Deeds
CONTINUED from page ~

Romero placed under arrest. Arrived
at police headquarters the latter was
treated by DR.. S. I. Aranki, who took
stitches in the injured mans head and
dressed multiple bruises as big as
eggs on his face, hands and head.
Romero was frank in his statement
of the shooting to the police, admit
ting that he fired the gun and claimed
| in self defense he had been forced to
| do so, as Halliday surely would have
| killed him had not the loss of blood
from the wounds inflicted overcome
| him.
According to Romero the deed
| signed Joseph Martini was signed
by him at the request Of Halliday. The
latter is lawyer although he never
| practiced law, and the police assert
the contractor.
When Halliday entered the kitchen
this afternoon it appears he wanted
the deed transferred to his wife's
name by Romero, which would give
her clear title to the property. When
Romero refused he accused the for
mer Of "peaching" to the police.
you've been to the cops. and told
them that I was chasing around with
women accused Halliday, who, the
police assert, has a fondness for wo-
men.
Romero denied the accusation,
which his partner followed by the
threat to kill.
The career Of both men has been
a checkered one, both starting as
partners in business back in Cape Cod,
Mass. They went into the soda water
business later ano 1t proved fall
ure.
Then they moved to Fall River and
went into the fruit business which
proved a disastrous --nture. Next
they came to New Haven, in this
state, and opened store in that city,
which had a short-lived career. Hear
ing of this city's prosperity both
came here about two years ago and
started in. the real estate and con-
structfon business, without a cent OF
capital. How they succeeded is still
a mystery.
The fact remains the pair were very
successful. Halliday built many
houses and sold them. He developed
air Of Garfield avenue, owning the
land, and selling the property after
he had erected a house on the site.
The police are Of the opinion that
Romero is not at fault. They assert
he has been made tool by Halliday.
His knowledge Of law made Romero
no match for him.
The probabilities are that Halliday,
as soon as he is able to leave the hos
pital will be arrested for forgery, the
police assert. Every bank in the city
today will be visited by Detectives
Dooley and Holbrook to determine the
extent Of transactions of Halliday, or
Of Romero at the instigation Of his
partner.
Romero will be arraigned in the city
court tomorrow morning. He is held
without bonds.
A disastrous fire aroused the entire
North End on the morning Of Nov.
%, when the newly purchased home
Of Mrs. Minnie Gilbert, at 1857 Gar
field avenue, was destroyed and A. W.
Halliday's house, 1O3 Garfield avenue,
was greatly damaged by fire of UNI
known origin. The officials of the
fire department were convinced that
the fire was caused by a fire-bug and
investigation is still in progress. The
fire was first discovered at 8 a. m.
