ALLEGED BABY
K|DNAPERHELD
New Jersey Tailor Accused Of
Stealing Child of Man Who
Once Discharged Him.

NORTH BERGEN, N. j., Sept.
19.-Patrick Bruno, proprietor of a
tailor shop here, was arrested last
night in connection with the kidnap-
ping of the twenty-months daughter
of Emil E. Cirelli in this place last
Tuesday. Cirelli, who also conducts
a tailor shop, is said by the police to
have been Bruno's foreman six
years ago and to have discharged
him for drinking.
FOUND IN WEEDS.
The baby was found in a pitiful
condition in a patch Of weeds near
crematory Friday suffering se-
verely from hunger and thirst, and
covered with mosquito bites. The
police announced that they suspected
Bruno stole the child for revenge
over the old grievance.
The baby disappeared in Union
HILL where the Cirelli's live, and
Bruno was turned over to the police
OF that place pending an investiga-
tion. Bruno denied completely in the
child's disappearance.
A police dog, an Airedals. led the
police searchers from the spot where
the baby was found near the North
Bergen crematory to the home OF
Bruno. Standing in the clump OF
weeds the animal put his nose to the
coat worn by. the baby. Whereupon
the dog, according to the police, led
the way straight to Bruno's home
The police were somewhat doubt
full they said, when the Airedale paid
no attention to Bruno and his wife,
who stood in front of the house. The
experiment was repeated twice with
like result, the dog apparently
lost trail at the same point.
GOES TO BRUNO's CELLAR
Upon the fourth trial, however, the
police dog is said to have made his
way, with nose down, unerringly to
the cellar of Bruno's house and
thence into the back yard. The Aire-
dale's persistency in going to the
house, Police Chief Marcy, of this
place. announced, justifes the authori-
ties in holding Bruno for an inquiry.
The police also announced that they
have a statement from two young men
who claim to habe seen Bruno sitting
on the steps of his home with a baby
dressed in clothing similar to that
worn by the Cirelli child.
An effort has been made TO learn
how long time elapsed after the
helpless infant was abandoned until
she was found. wailing pitifully and
with face swollen by mosquito bites.
