Police Aided in
Gang Killings, Is
Hint by Lewis
Brooklyn Prosecutor Asks
How % Murders Were
Otherwise Possible

Ralph Daniello's confession before
District Attorney Swami about the
secrets OF the Italian gambling cliques
and gangsters of this city, it devel-
oped yesterday, may lead even further
than the clearing up Of the twenty
three murder mysteries 70 the solution
of which he gave the key.
The following through Of the leads
which Dsniello-known as RALPH the
Bsrber"-hss furnished may point 70
the person guilty OF the murder OF
Michael A. Giamari. for which Michael
Rofrano was tried and acquitted a
year ago, and also may yield proof
OF police connivance in murders which
have been ordered by three Italian
gangs IN this city
Assistant District Attorney George
y. Brothers, who prosecuted Rofrsno,
was yesterday assigned 20 the Danielo
case, 10 learn whether Ralph the
Barber" can supply the motive for the
murder Of G'amari, the political lieu
tenant of Tom Foley in the End
Assembly District. Special significance
was attached 20 this move in calling
Mr. Brothers into the case, because the
Rofrano defence was that the Giamari
murder was the result OF a gamblers
feud.
Prosecutors at Odds
The publication yesterday Of Dani-
clos confession led to a clash between
the Offices of District Attorney Lewis
of Brooklyn and District Attorney
Swami. Daniello had first made his
reve !ations before the Brooklyn prose-
cutor, il is understood, and then he
was turned over 10 Mr.. Swann's Office
to aid il in investigating the murders
which occurred in Manhattan.
"The publication Of the confession Of
Daniello," said Mr.. Lewis. who was the
only one Of the disputants TO discuss
the failure Of the two Offices 10 work
together, makes me reluctant TO make
further statement. Daniello was very
much disturbed this morning, and
fears that the publication Of his rev.
Citations may endanger his life"
The first intimation that perhaps
there had been police conniyance with
the Italian gangs who ordered murders
at will came as a result OF an inter-
view with District Attorney Lewis.
"How were all these murders pos
sible without the police learning any
thing about the origin Of them Mr..
Lewis was asked.
Il am not positive that the police
were entirely ignorant" he replied,
land am now making an inquiry into
this matter"
Daniello and three others were yes
terday arraigned before Judge May in
