| ous title ought to be bestowed upon | Tony Galluei the young fellow who l was arrested for breaking and enter l ing the gaFage of John Nardone and who, with some c6fhpaiii6h at first ,in- kfeWh, drove away Mir. Naraone's au- t9fnoBile. The car was located and shortly aftefwafd GallHei was taken into custody.
 When put through the varied police degrees. he piled lie upon lie Sd thick that there Was hardly ereviee for seintiila Of truth. He told the story of his connection with the occurrence four times, at different periods. and each Story differed in every detail, ex- cept in a single uttefaiiee. lie rave the name Of a relative as an accom- piiee in his fourth story. and when the police brought fn the relative Gallaei confessed that he had lied. and that the relative was not with him, and knew nothing of the break and theft. The police believe he lied in his corrective statement, but there was no ground for holding the relative. 1 It seemed plain that the cause for this continuous lying was his ef- forts to Shield someone else, and fa- ther than squeal would accept the most severe punishment that could be l given him under the law. The only part of his story that he did not con- tfadict was the statement, that the fellow who put up the job was Jim 1 my Kenyon of New London who work ] ed for the Groton Iron Works. In the 1 opinion of the police chief, Jimmy is
 the cloak of cover the fellow Gailuci seeks to shield. His persistence in this respect, to keep the other fellow 1 out of the case. leads to the suspic- ! ion that there may be more offences in i mind, than the theft of MT. Nardones $ 1 automobile.
 {! For reasons withheld by the police, 1 Galluci was not arraigned in the Third l district court charged with driving the automobile away without the owner s 1 consent, but he was charged with 1 breaking and entering the Nardone gas
 rage. He pleaded guilty. was adjudg- l ed probably guilty and is held for the 1 grand jury. The bond was fixed at S20G0.
 Wednesday afternoon. Deputy Sher-
 if William H. Casey worked the third
 degree oh Galluci. In less than five ! minutes Galluci confessed that 1t was
 he who stole the automobile owned by
 John C. Ralph, of Mystic, from in front
 of the plant of the Greton Iron Works
 and which was found abandoned in the
 Old Mystic road. four days later.
 Sheriff Casey continuing his dffect
 question, aided by Chief Brown. led
 Galluei with uplifted hand under oath
 to say that Jimmie Kenyon was the
 name he used to cover that of the real
 fellow who directed the theft of the
 Nardone ear, and he gave the name tc
 the sheriff. He then told the story emphasizing that he was telling the absolute truth. He went into detai . of how and when the car was taken from the garage. pushed out of the l garage by the other fellow and oper- ] ated by him ih the early hour Of last Saturday morning. He told of the cut
 ting out of the back curtain and driv. ing to Providence, Saturday, to have new curtain, with one, instead o1 . two. window panes. He came bach , Saturday night, put the ear in his fa- ther's barn, and did no. use it on Sun
 day or thereafter: except to take i 1 ot4t of the barn Su- day night ane
 turn it over to the oyier fellow and 2
 chum, he did not know. He did no
 put the car back into the barn whert , it was found. he said. He said it wa! agreed that if he or the other fellow , were caught the one would not squea { on the other, and that Is a reason Wh! ! he did not tell the truth previously
 When he made the trip to Providence , he said he was accompanied only b. his kid brother.
 As Galluci is now held for the grant F jury of the superior court of Rhod I island, it may be long time befer' . he is available to Connecticut authori
 ties to answer to the charge of steal i ing MT Ralph's automobile.
