Say He Admits
Newark Prisoner Declared
to Have Confessed Stab
bling Man to Death When
He Saw Woman in Danger
Hauls Body to Boulevard
Victim Called Author of
Black Hand Letters Who
Came to Demand Money

Within a few hours after the body
of James Morabello was found, bearing
many knife wounds, on Tiffany Boule-
ward, Newark, yesterday, the police of
that city had arrested John Cricola,
Of 100 Summit Street, Newark, as his
assailant and, they said, had obtained
confession from him.
According to the statement Crcola
is said to have made, he and his m other
Mrs. Margaret Cricola, had lived in
fear of Morabello for months, believ-
ing him to be member of black
hand gang and the author OF threaten
ing letters they had received.
Cricola is said to have told the police
that Morabello called at his home about
/ p. m. Wednesday and that he watched
the house from restaurant across
the street to see if his mother needed
help. About 8 p. M, he said, his
mother screamed and he ran into the
house.
Tells of Mothers Struggles
He found his mother struggling with
Morabello, he said, who was lunging
at her with a knife and demanding
$500.

Frank Brex quotes his prisoner as say

me-"
After that, according to the police,
Crlcoa told of getting friend to help
him wrap the body in blankets and
take it in an automobile to Tiffany
Boulevard, where they pulled it out
feet first and left it in the street.
Woman Traced to Hospital
When the body was found after day
break, Cricola's business card and a
pawnticket bearing his name were dis
covered in the pockets. At about the
same time the police we're informed
that Cricola's mother had gone to City
Hospital to have a severe knife wound
on her left hand treated
Detectives were sent to Cricola's
home, where it is said they found him
scrubbing the floor He took them to
the place where he had thrown away
some OF his clothing which bore signs
of the struggle and the package was
recovered as was the handle of the
file, the blade of which was between
Morabello's ribs.
Detective Fiaschetti, who is in charge
OF the investigation Of Camorra kill
ilngs in this city, sent detective to
Newark last night to get Morabella's
finger prints and Bertillon measure
ments.

Aside Proceedings She Failed
TO Defend

Mrs. Fanchon Yates Bross, of 222
Riverside Drive, refused to take her
husband, William r. Bross, a broker,
seriously when he sued her for a
divorce. This attitude made it neces
sary for Mrs. Bross to obtain from
Justice Martin yesterday an order
vacating the interlocutory decree, IS
sued to Mr. Bross, when his wife failed
to defend the action brought by him.
Mr.. Bross sued, naming Gilbert j..
Scofeld, a childhood friend Of Mrs.
Bross, in Elmira, n. ". as core
spondens AS the wife explained to the
court. in asking that the divorce de-
cree-be vacated so that she might de-
fend the suit, she did not take the
summons served on her seriously, be-
cause her husband often had made
statements to her that were not true.
When Mrs. Bross failed to put in an
appearance in the case, a default judg
ment was taken against her, whereupon
she learned Of the serious purpose of
her husband
Mrs. Bross denied her husband had
grounds fer action, and Mr.. Scofed,
who joined in the motion to have the
case reoDened made denial of the

When Mike Runs Out of'Cas'
Central Park Buck, Who Led 4 Does on ght

Until Wind Fails and Patrolman Brings 1t Down

Modern inventions were used in one

reindeer were hunted through Central
Park and down Fifth Avenue with the
aid OF automobiles and motorcycles.
At midnight Wednesday four does

were taken out of the Central Park
paddock by Red Mike, four-year-old
buck. to admire the mackerel moon.
Shortly after their departure they were
missed by Thomas Mitchell, night
Waterman of the zoo, and the aid of
forty patrolmen attached to the Ar
senal Station was enlisted in rounding
them up.
Red Mike evidently experienced diff
Guilty in keeping the attention Of his
wards centered. Tillie saw the lake
for the first time in her young life, and
beat it for swim. She was sighted as
she disported herself in the crystal
pools by Patrolman McKenna, who
swan after her and fetched her home.
Fannie spotted a incoming young
couple, and started to investigate. They
appealed to motorcycle policemen to
protect their tryst, and Fannie was
captured and put to bed.
Angelina was taken by ruse. A
patrolman, who modestly refused his
name, but who declared that he knew
the ways of the forest creatures, ar
ranged his officers in O. circle,
sighed loudly and affectonately, and
bounced upon the dear little thing
when it came trustingly forward.
Flossie gave no trouble. She came
forward and gave herself up upon
orders from the police.
Red Mike in the mean while had told
his pursuers to see Duncan MacInness

hind.
Abrupt Halt to Avoid Auto
An automobile sped through 1921

in time and threw on the brakes to
avoid collision. This action brought
the car to stop with such sudden
ness that Hart had not time to pre-
vent the rear end crash.
All the windows in both cars were
broken. Passengers were thrown from

With one exception yesterday pigeon
fanciers rejected the theory that the

to Broadway, Wednesday night in the
vicinity of a Columbus Circle restau-
rant, had made 2,000-mile flight from
Hoodoo Peak, Wyoming, in four days,
with message OF distress from Pro-
lessor Edmund Heller. The one excep-

the message purporting to be from his

After fifteen tours around the world
it is the professors boast that geor-
raphy is his long suit, and his other
friends ridicule the idea that he let
loose one of his prize pigeons in an
appeal for a relief expedition At the

"Hoodoo Mountains,' although Mr..

there is a Hoodoo Peak and that he

Mr. Singer said the message was any
think but a joke. He expressed him
self as anxious for the safety of his
friend. No word has been received from

was asked by Singer to go to the relief

took their morning constitutional be-
hind chaufeurs.
The common people riding down the
avenue in taxis and buses felt the
blood of their hunting ancestors run
hot, and suddenly the traffic turned in
one direction-that taken yRed Mike.
Fearing the humiliation of being
struck by a forthcoming in the op-
posite direction-Mike decided to try
one way sby police regulation. Bound
ing through the park, he crossed the
highway, the chase, headed by Keeper
Coyle, in keen pursuit.
Coyle commandeered a fast-moving
vehicle and attempted to use a lariat
as Red Mike gained the fair way. Wit
nesses declare that he missed his
quarry by only forty feet--or yards.
Red Mike was disguised at the intro
duction Of hemp in the chase and appar-
emily decided that, after all, Fifth Ave-

There Patrolman Rocket recognized
the animal by piecing together a series

INTO the park the deer showed the ma
chine his heels.
Then, having covered ten miles in a
half hour, his pace slowed. The car
drew alongside. Patrolman Rocket
didn't know much about deer, but he
had been taught lot about runaway
horses, so he poised himself and took
q header at the animal.
He landed, and the two went over in
a heap. 1t was doubtful even then if
Red Mike was going to be taken be-
fore an Investigating committee to re-
late how he had escaped from the
paddock. He struggled so valiantly
that it appeared that after all Duncan

But the automobilist lent the patrol
man a hand, and between them Rcd
Mike was thrown, hog-tied and returned

skeptical of the report that Professor
Heller is in difficulties. They declare
that he has been in the park since last
Saturday, collecting material for a
lecture tour, and that he is thoroughly
at home there.
Doubt is thrown on the story from
the fact that the pigeon is presumed
to have travelled nearly 1000 miles. Ex
perts at the Museum, said yesterday,
that this was an impossible feat.
Professor Heller went West to do
research work for Charles G. Adams,
head Of the Roosevelt Wild Life, For
est and Experiment Station Of New
York at Syracuse University. Mr..
Adams is quoted as saying that the
story is hoax on Heller and that it is
likely the bird was let loose in New
York.
The theory that hoax was being
perpetrated was strengthened by the
arrival on the Century Roof last night
Of another pigeon. 1t was not an am
bassador, like the bird alleged to have
come from Yellowstone Park, but it
carried an identification disk marked
21-DO-18896.
