Norwich bulletin., 1920-03-18

and the New York authorities clear up the nly seS e-e-. automobiles alleged to have been stolen by Jerome c. Krauss, formerly of this city, Lieu tenant Bridgman of the state police, acting on a tip secured by State po- liceman Pennelli, told MT. Pellettieri's wife that her husband must furnish at once a list of the cars he had bought from KrauSs. When the law yer and his client returned from New York, Pellettieri got in touch with Lieutenant Bridgman and believing that the state and city police were working on the case, gave up the names to him. Bridgeman recovered seven of the cars. It is also said that credit for locating the machines should be given to Detective Sergeant John r. Madigan of the Hartford po- lice.
 According to Attorney Cont, State Policeman Pennelli entered the detec- tive bureau of the Hartford police one day over 7 week ago and heard Pellet bought cars of Kraus. who had been arrested in New York for the Hart ford police on the charge of having stolen the automobile of Ariel Mitchell son of Tariffville. MT. Cont says that Pennelli walked out of the room after he ad heard Lieutenant Santoro ask Cont and Pelletieri to go down to New York on the matter.
 Detectives Hemrick and Hussey of the New York police department were 1 in Hartford Saturday and Sunday and | talked with Pellettieri. Kraus is out on bail of s5 in New York. If the grand jury in that city does not l indict him. Sergeant Madigan will go | to New York for the man. as Governor Smith has honored the requisition pa pers of the Hartford officer.
 The cars recovered by the state po- l lice were disposed of in Putnam. Pel- lettieri insists that he believed Kraus
 was "on the lever as he had a dealer license to sell automobiles. F.elletieri bought his first secondhand car
 from Kraus in June, 1918 and his last
 in, June 1918.
 Kraus lived at No. 100 Edwards
 street while in this city and also had
 a room in the Bond Annex. He is
 married and has an apartment in liar 1 lem that costs him about S2,500 to
 maintain. It is said that he cars which he sold to Pelletieri were regis tered as sold in the state automobile department after the state police had passed on them. Pelletieri paid high CT prices to Kraus and it is believed that no action will be taken against
 him.
