When the lieutenant at the desk at
Police Headquarters had listed in the
olotter yesterday the fact that Alfredo

the home he left eleven months ago to
see the daughter that was horn while
he pursued Alfredo Todaro toward
Uruguay.
Yesterday he returned with his pris-

had put up in the UruEuayan courts

Todaro's apartment in llarlcm's Little
