STATE POLICE
 DlSCREDI'T TALE
Told by Mary Fatina,' But Latter Admits Being QuiZZed

The alleged confession that he knew who committed the Renaldino murder made to Mary Fratino O. Kecfe by Dominick Cropanese, &C., cording to her statement to news papermen Saturday, is not taken ser iously by the state police. When ask ed this morning whether or not he had taken any further steps in the matter, the superintendent of the state police department said, "She has never said anything that I have placed any credence in at all.' This is taken as significant in view of the fact that the clues in the murder have led to Italy, where Joseph Tottori has been located.
 Tottori was held as a material wit ness shortly after the murder, but was later released.
 Left Suddenly
 The duplicating of Richardson in the rum running gang, in which Rem aldino, Tottori and many others were involved, again brought up the ques ton of how much Tottori knows, Tottori suddenly sold his store on Elm street and several other properties he owned in the city and left for Italy, about four months ago.
 Government May Act
 It is expected that States Attorney Alcorn will take or has taken, steps to have the Italian government appre- bend Tottori. Tottori has never been accused of being the murderer neither has Dominic Cropanese been accus- ed. Circumstances point rather suspiciously to Cropanese, who was held in jail in Hartford for sometime before the news of his arrest became public,

against my stomach. They said they
 were ex-service men and had to get
 living and that is how they got it. They said if I gave them half an hour
 to take the stuff away they would give me my gun back. which they took away. I thought it would be a good thing then, because of the pre- dicament l was in, and l could get the officers from the station and get them. l went to the Victory Lunch on Church street and notified Ser geant Kelly to send as many officers as he could right away, which he did. We were there in five minutes and a car was in the rear, loading up with furs. I covered the fellows in the auto, and the officers shot at an
 other colored fellow that jumped the fence, and got him. He Is in the New Britain General hospital. We searched for the tall fellow but could not locate him. I brought the color ed fellow with the stolen stuff and the and put the car with the stolen stuff in the police garage. I notified Mir. Neshken about the robbery. They had a kit of tools which is at the station. They bored two holes in the rear door and forced it open with a jimmy. It looks like the same job that was done at Farrel's saloon on North street and Monsee's on Stan ley street 6 short time ago.

New York with Mary F'ratino, known to New Britain people as Fatima, where the couple in company with another woman, according to the story told by Mary, on Saturday, spent several days together. The trio stole two quarts of Whiskey from the load they carried back to this city. The Whiskey was the property of a New Britain businessman now said to be in Atlantic City.
 Killed by Friends
 Later on Mary and James O'Keefe, who subsequently, became her hus- band, met Cropanese and another girl at a dance in Berlin. Cropanese became drunk, according to Mary, and in a confidential mood, admitted that he knew who killde Enio Renal dino, stating that they were friends of his and that he knew they got him and got him good.
 Would Kill Foreman
 Mary further stated in the inter- view Saturday that she had been dis charged at the Stanley Works before that because the foreman wanted her to split 50-5O on her war bonus. She said the foreman put in a bad reputa- tion report about her in the office and she was discharged. In telling her troubles to Cropanese at this time she claims he said T always carry a gun and I'll kill him for you if you want me to-

was on, Policeman Liebler was hold ing Carroll at bay in his car in the alleyway While returning to the scene of the burglary from the res taurant, the patrolman saw Carroll backing into the yard. He hurried down the street and surprised the taxi-man. Wadstrom, who is alleged to have been the third man in the case, made his escape during the eX- citement.
 Finds Furs in Car.
 Several valuable fur pieces were found in Carols car and a number of others nearby. He told the police that his car was hired in Hartford at 1 o'clock in the morning by Will son, whom he had known for some time, and a white man whom he did not know. He drove to New Britain, and at the order of the two men Later a revolver was pressed against his head and he was ordered to drive into the alleyway. As he was about to do so he was placed under arrest, he explained.
 Wilson's condition was too critical to allow of a statement being secured by the police at the hospital. His father arrived in town early in the morning and told questioners that the young man had been employed at the Coleman farm in Wethersfield The local police with State Policeman Anthony Tumanio conducted a search but found no discriminating evidence.
 Upon information received, the po- lice later visited Wadstrom's home. was found in bed. He had a bruise on his wrist which might have been caused by the poliCeman's handcuff. The man answered the description given by Liebler, but he could not positively identify the pris- oner as the man he accosted in the He was arrested on sus- piCion. Later Policeman Tomanio brought Edward Wadstrom to the local police station.
 Suspect Is Freed.
 Edward explained satisfactorily that he had been working all night 1n new building. He missed has gar and was obliged to wait for an- other, causing him to be later than .sual in returning to his home.
 Arthur said he did not know Will son. When Edward was taken tol Wilson's home the latter's mother said Arthur had called on her son

one evening last week. In spite ot this statement, Wadstrom maintained that the colored man was 8 stranger 1 to him.
 Carroll admitted that the white man that was in his company was about the same size as Wadstrom. He would not identify either of the brothers as the man.
 Wounded Man Bitter.
 At the hospital Wilson expressed sorrow that he had not killed Lieber at once, Upon regaining conscious ness and realizing what had happen ed to him, the colOred man was greatly incensed because the police man had declined to maintain silence after promising to do so.
 I'd have done better if I killed him. Then he wouldn't squeal,' the wounded man is quoted as having said.
 An investigation by the police, fol- lowing the round up of the alleged robbers, revealed that the rear door had been "jimmicd." An attempt had been made previously to drill under the lock with a view to chopping it away. A burglars kit of 'iimmies,' saws, a bit and brace and @ pair of pliers was found.
 The report of Policeman Liebler, which is similar to that of Police men Flynn and Doherty, is as fol- lows:
 Policeman's Report.
 About 4:40, while going by Mesh Iy, ,i ,1t a fellow about six feet tall, thin build, wearing a dark overcoat to about his knees, and a dark cap; white fellow, about 160 pounds standing in the al- leyway. He looked suspicious and I questioned him. He said he had no place to sleep and was walking around until daylight Just then l saw another fellow duck behind the building.

 stores. In an alleyway near the Meshken store he came across Wad- strom. Since it was only 4:45 o'clock, the bluecoat challenged the man, de- manding to know why he was out at that hour. Wadstrom explained that he was up all night and was killing time by wandering about. While he < was still talking with the man, Police man Liebler spotted another man rac- ing toward a pile of lumber, carrying a load of what proved to be valuable furs. Summing up the situation in a moment, Liebler drew his automatic and at the same time ordered the man to place his wrist in the handcuff which he held in his hand. This the prisoner did. Liebler then led him toward the corner of the building where the furs were piled.
 Just as he reached the corner of the building, Wilson jumped out quickly and placed a pistol against the policeman's stomach, demanding that he hand over his gun. Liebler realized that he had no bullets in the chamber so he compiled with the de- mand by Wilson. The patrolnan was
 
 Explaining that they were ex-serv- icemen who were out of work and in a desperate condition, the alleged burglars made proposition to the policeman for the return of his gun If he would give them half an hour to make a get away. Liebler agreed and the pistol was handed over to him. He was warned to walk slowly up the street so as to attract no at tention, being cautioned that a false move would mean death.
 When he was q safe distance from the alley, Policeman Lieber ran to the Victory lunch rooms where he put in a call for police headquarters, informing Sergeant George Kelly of his predicament, The sergeant hustled to the patrolmen's room where several of the policemen were awaiting the hour for church services. He detailed Policemen Will Ham Doherty, Michael Flynn, Maur- Ice Flynn, Anton Milewski, Anton Nezdropa. Adelbert Eeley, W. J, Nc Carthy, Thomas Storey and Herbert Lyon to the scene of the break.
