.ContfDJcd from Page One-D murderer had money and if so. did the murdered man furnish the motive for the crime by robbery of hIs com panion.
 According to the statements of members of the family at 339 Penn broke street where'the men have lived for six months. they have always been the best of friends and retired as such last night. The cause for the mur- der. must accordingly have been some occurrence between the time they re- tired and { o'clock this morning.
 Corcosto and Abadea have lived wi.h the family of Jesse Capuccino, whore the murder took place, for the past several months. The older man and murderer was employed at the Crane Valve Company as a laborcr and his victim also worked there. The men were fin the habit of going to and from work together. and had all ways been regarded as the best of friends.
 Some few weeks ago Concosto de- cided to return to Spain and had been making arrangements for the trip. On July 23, he went to New York city and after settling some money affairs with banks there, cured a passport from the Spanish
 
 port and for the intervening week had been completing his plans. His trunks and suit cases packed were found in the Pembroke street house this morning.
 This morning shortly before four o'clock. Capuccino and his daughter Josephine and another roomer. James Bruno. were awakened by shouts. These came from the room occupied l.,s ,y- of the house got up and went to the room and when he entered. found Abadea dead in q pool of blood on the floor. with Eashes in his throat and breast. Concosto was gone. Search. hurricdly made. showed the hack door open and it was certain that he man had fled.
 Bruno hurried to the second pre- cinct station and gave notice of the murder and the escape of the mur- dcrer. The detective bureau at head quarters was notified ana every available man in the second precinct and extra men called from other parts were nt once put to york to prevent Conc '~t3's escape.

 When the train did stop, the con- iuc'or notified Police Headquarters. Dporrnan Colgan was sent from the SN"Crd Precinct to take charge of the ''rdv.

 Papers letters and Concosto's pass port were found the body and these were turned over to Captain Cronan. head of the detective depart frcnt. The letters. all in Spanish. have not been translated. but all are on stationery indicating that they con cern only financial matters with New York banks and are not expected to furnish any solution of the crime, un- less showing that Concosto had money ubout which nothing is now known.
 Concosto has been in this country since April 1917, according to the papcrs which were in his possession. Prior to living at Pembroke street. he lived nt 1O4 Hallett street, but at that place today no information could be furnished which would give a clue to the murder.
