Norwich bulletin., 1919-11-14

long list told by Tony Gallaci, since his arrest for breaking and entering the garage of John NardoI1e. and when MT. Nardones automobile was stolen Since the start and up to late We'd nesday afternoon. he persisted that a
 Jimmie Kenyon was the prime mover,
 that he was the fellow who opened the garage pushed the car out and com
 nelled GaIiuci to operate the car. He
 then declared there was no Jimmie
 Kenyon in the case. but gave the
 name of another young man. and that
 all he had said of Jimmie was applica-
 ble to this bonafide individual. He
 was faced with the young man he &C.,
 cused, st the police station. Wednes-
 day night and reluctantly admitted
 that this statement was urtrue. This young man does not possess the phy- sical strength to push the car out of
 the garage, and has no knowledge of the working of an automobile. The po- lice opinion is that Galluci was alone in the affair. or might possibly have
 been assisted by a relative. as two
 men were seen in the Nardone car.
 Ga1luci's story as told to Deputy
 Sheriff Casey in relation to the theft of an automobile from in front of the Groton Iron Works, was substantially true. This machine was the property of John Ralph of Mystic. lie confess ed that he took the car and drove it to New York and made unsuccessful effort to trade that car. and his own of another make. for other cars. Gal luci was accompanied by woman friend, a resident of Pawcatuck. His car was driven to New York by
 George Liproro. accompanied by his younger brother Ralph Liproro. Af- ter returning to Westerly the stolen car was put into the barn owned by Galluci's father. and subsequently,
 abandoned in the Old Mystic road.
 Galluci repeated his story when faced by George Lipraro Thursday, in
 the police station. George is jit- neyman known as Shorty. broth er- Jaw of Galluci. He declared he had nothing to do with the stealing of the Ralph car. He said that Tony had | asked him to drive him to the Groton | Iron Works to get Tony's that he had l left there. This, he did and Tony drove his own car home. The Ralph car was placed in the same barn where the Nardone car was found. | after the return from New York and l before it was. left on the Old Mystic road. On that occasion George drove | his own car to bring Tony back home. l Shorty declared he had nothing to | do with the theft of the automobile, did not know it was stolen at first, ] but was a bit skeptical and rather in voluntarily made the trip to New 1 York. The start was made in the ear l ly evening and the route was by way 1 of Norwich. Willimantic, Hartford and | New Haven. On the return trip both l cars were operated along the Shore 1 line and over the ferry from New Lon don to Groton. Thursday night Ralph | Pioro corroborated the story as told by his brother George and Galluci. in l relation to the trip to New York,
