SCRANTON. Pa, April 23.-Pos- itive Identification of Tito Ligi, ar rested here last Tuesday on suspicion of complicity in the Wall street ex- here today by Thomas J. Smith of Brooklyn, employed in the legal de- partment of an insurance company having offices in the New York financial district
 Smith picked out Ligi from a line Of six prisoners as the man he had seen arguing with the driver of the death wagon shortly before the ex- plosion. He later told newspaper men that a few moments after the blast he saw Ligi rushing along Cedar street near Nassau street and Broad way. urging two companions to hurry out of the neighborhood.
 Smith, who formerly was a lieu tenant in the New York police de- pertinent, assigned to investigate in cendiary fires. said he was walking in Wall street toward Broad a few minutes before the explosion.
 At about 11:55 a. m.. he said, he was approaching the banking house of J. F. Morgan & Co, when he saw a dilapidated wagon with red and black striped wheels in front of the United States assay office. Inside the wagon, partly covered with news papers. were two barrels and two boxes about two or three feet square.
 T thought it was a junk wagon" he said. My attention was first called to it when I noticed two men standing near the horses head, argu- ing. I crossed the street, expecting about five feet six inches tall. rough y dressed and of stocky build"
 Descriptions Tally
 Turning to Raymond Clark, fore man on construction job in the vicinity of the explosion, Smith asked if that description fitted the man that Clark had seen shortly after the blast Clark. who also went to Scran- ton today to see if he could recognize Ligi, but who failed to do so. admit ted that the general description fitted the man who few moments after the explosion rushed up to him and shouted: My God, my horse has been killed"
 Smith said the other man standing by the wagon was taller and better dressed This man, whom he identi- ned as Ligi, was wrangling. he said, with the smaller man, apparently try ing to induce him to leave the neigh borhood- The shorter man." Smith added. apparently did not want to go. I thought they were going to fight. and I stayed around moment,
 
 on. turning up Nassau street.
 Just after I passed the corner of Nassau and Cedar streets, heard the explosion I turned to go back to Wall street, but was stopped by the T. rush of people fleeing up Nassau street. Running by me in the crowd l saw three men going westward in Cedar street toward Broadway, and one of them was the man I had seen wrangling with the wagon driver. Neither of the two men with him, however, was the driver.
 Recognizes Voice
 One of Ligi's companions was an Italian about five feet eight inches, fairly well built. The other. who appeared to be an Italian and was about five feet six, had stubby black moustache. The man who had been with the driver was urging these two men along.
 i. T noticed that the voice was the ~same as that of the man I had heard wrangling with the wagon driver, and when I looked it was the same man.
 Confronting Ligi this afternoon, Smith made a test of the prisoners voice. When Ligi denied that he had ever seen Smith. the insurance man declared the voice apparently was the same he had heard both before the explosion and a few minutes after Ligi is being held in s100O0 bail here for appearance before a federal court in Harrisburg, May 2 on a charge of evading the draft
