OF EXTRACTION PAPERS

BUFFALO, N. Y, June 18.-Sal-
vators Gala. confessed slayer of Dan
iel Kaber was arraigned in the city
court here today charged with be-
ing fugitive from justice and
was remanded to Jail pending arrival
Of extradition papers from Ohio.
Cleveland officials continued ques-
tioning of Gala today in the belief
that he knew the Whereabouts of
Vittorio Pisselli, named by Gala as
his accomplice in the Kaber muir
der. Gala maintained, however, that
he has not seen Pisselli in fifteen or
sixteen months and does not know
where the men went when he left
Cleveland.
Gala said that when he and his
companion entered the Kaber home to
commit the murder he could hear
voices in a room adjoining the room
where the victim was stabbed to
death.
Gala said he did not know Mrs.
Kaber, all his dealings having been
with the woman fortune teller" He
added that he was slightly acquaint-
ed with a man who, he believed, was
infatuated with Mrs. Kaber.

SUSPECT SOUGHT IN
KABER MURDER CASE.

CLEVELAND, June 1S.-A search
that may reach across the country
has been started for Vittorio Pts
'vatore Gala of Cleveland by the
county grand jury today for first
degree murder of Daniel F. Kaber
in his Lakewood home nearly two
years ago.
Gala was arrested near Buffalo,
N. Y, yesterday, and is being held
there awaiting extradition. Detec-
tive Phil Mooney left for Columbus
today to 'obtain the necessary papers
from Governor Harry L. Davis, of
Ohio. From Columbus he will go
to Albany, N. Y, where on Monday
morning he will present papers to
Governor Miller for Calais extradi-
ton, and then go to Buffalo for
the prisoner.
Today's indictments followed pres
entation to the grand jury by Coun-
ty Prosecutor Edward c.. Stanton and
Detective Mooney Of signed con-
fession obtained from Gala in Buff
falo last night, and other evidence
gathered by Mooney.
The indictment Of the two men to-
day places the number now charged
with first degree murder Of Kaber
at six, the other four being Mrs. Eva
Catherine Kaber, widow of the slain
man; Miss Marian McArdle, daugh-
ter and Mrs. Mary Brickel, mother
Of Mrs. Kaber, and Mrs. Erminla
Colavito. midwife and alleged poi
soner.
Emphatic denial to parts Of CALAIS
confession were made today by Miss
McArdle and Mrs. Colavito.
Mrs. Kaber said she was not inter-
ested in Calais confession and had
no comment to make. She did say
she was glad Gala was arrested, ana
that the truth would come out In
her coming trial.
Miss McArdle said she had seen
Gala but once.
ST only met this man once" she
said. 81 did so then because [ was
afraid Mrs. Colavito might do me
bodily harm if I did not see him
when he requested"
Mrs. Colavito said she had nothing
to do with the actual murder, ana
that Gala was trying to frame her"
in his confession.
Another development today was
the holding by Judge Maurice Ber-
non, of Urbano Di Corpo under
$4,000 bond as a material witness;
He is alleged to have introduced
Mrs. Kaber to Mrs. Colavito.
The three last pieces Of sllverWare
taken from the Kaber home, sup
posedly by burglars on the night
Of the murder occurred were turned
over to Prosecutor Stanton today by
the daughter of an East End fortune
teller. The rest of the silverware
was found in the fortune teller's
hnnaa saueral DAYS ago.
