HUNTING MURDERER
OF BROOKLYN DOCTOR
Answered Summons and is Later
Found Dead in Room With
Slain Patient.

ay Associs tea Press 10 Every Evening
New York, March 27.-Det ectives of
the homicide bureau were conducting "A
widespread search for 9 third man" to-
day IN the belief that his capture would
clear up the mystery in the double murder
OF DIR. Vincent J. Campisi. wealthy
Young Brooklyn physician, and an un-
identified patient whose bodies were
found in a lodging house room in Brooklyn
last night DR.. Campisi was summoned to
visit the patient last night by a middle
aged man and was accompanied to the
scene of the murder by this man. An hour
later DR. Campisi body, terribly slashed.
was found on the floor of the patients
room and the latter was dead in his bed
with the imprint of human fingers on his
throat. The third man" had disappear
ed.
An early police theory that DIR. Cam
pisi had been lured to the lodging house
for the purpose of robbery and that he
had slain one of his assailants before he
himself succumbed, appeared to be broken
down by the fact that a large sum of
money and other yaluables were found In
the doctors pockets.
Another theory advanced was that the
patient had been assaulted earlier by
the missing man and that DR. Campisi
was murdered by the same man after the
doctor, summoned to give medical aid
had pronounced the patient" dead and
had threatened to notify the police.
