Captain John Coughlin, in charge Of
Brooklyn detectives, announced last
night that the identity Of the person
who murdered DR.. Vincent Campisi and
another man in q dingy little frame
house at 496 Lorimer Street, Brooklyn,
Thursday night, has been established.
He declared the police know the
name and address of this man and that
his place Of employment was under

failed to report for work. The arrest
of the suspect is expected momentarily,
he said.
The second man found slain with DR..
Campisi was identified yesterday as
Lorenzo Sarullo, of Elizabeth. N. j.
The Identification was made bv the
victims brother. vincenzo Sarullo,
from photograph shown him by the
police and later by viewing the body
at the Brooklyn .morgue. The police
gathered much information from Vim
cenzo. AS result they now are seek
ing man who they are convinced will
be able to clear up the mystery
From Vincenzo it was learned yester-
day that his brother was twenty nine
years old, and lived with an uncle at
257 Fourth Avenue, Elizabeth. He was
9 mason's helper. He last saw him on
March 16, when he left town with a
man named Giacomo Salzone, presum-
ably, as Vincenzo explains, to get a
job. He didn't consider this unusual,
he said, in view of the fact that his
brother had previously gone away for
months at a time.
1t is pointed out by detectives work
n nm ho ho% ho of
zone bears marked resemblance to
that of j. Falcone, which was scrawled
on the inside of a coat found in the
room OF the double murder. The tailor
who made this coat was found to be
Harry Harris, also of Elizabeth.
Police Try to Find Motive
1t is believed by Captain of Detec-
tives Daniel Carey, of Brooklyn, how
ever, that the companion of Sarullo
when he left Elizabeth was undoubtedly
the third man in the case-the man
seen leaving the Lorimer Street house
BY Frank Ambrose, a pipe filter next
door, shortly after commotion in the
death house and about fifteen minutes
before DR.. Campisi had been summoned
to the place and murdered.
The latest disclosures, however,
leave the mystery even more battling
IhdH ever. ne ponce are at loss to
find motive for the crime or to ex-
plain many of its circumstances. DR..
Benjamin Schwartz, assistant medical
examiner, announced yesterday follow
ing the autopsy, that Sarullo died of
two stab wounds in the back which had
penetrated to the lungs and not from
strangulation as had been at first re-
ported.
1t was disclosed for the first time
that at the side of Sarullo, who was
found on his back on bed, was a razor
covered with blood, and on the floor
near the body of DR.. Campisi was a
stilleto with it's bloody seven-inch
blade bent. The position of Sarullo's
body, say the police, indicated it had
been carefully placed there rather than
having. been knocked to the spot in a
struggle.
Doctor Stabbed Nine Times
DR.. Campisi's body, they assert, was
not wedged against the door, as was at
first reported. He was found lying on
the floor, fiat on his back, with his feet
within six inches of the door. They
assert man could easily have got in
