Chairman Dunn Makes Formal Claim to Su- perior Court Based on Sergeant O'Mara's Cap ture.

Acting for the trustees of the police pension fund, Chairman David l.. Dunn of the board of po- lice commissioners today made ap- plication in superior court for a share in the reward of SS,0o0 offer ed by the state for the capture of Giovanni Vottari, murderer now serving a life sentence at Wethers- field for the killing of Joseph D'An- gelo here last September. The ac- ton in behalf of the police pension fund was taken because Sergeant Patrick J. O'Mara, who played q part in the capture of the murderer, failed to make application for Il share at the hearing last Saturday.
 The state law provides that all rewards received by police shall be turned into the pension funds of their respective departments unless the board of police commissioners votes to permit the policeman 10 re ceive the money.
 Chairman Dunn's application will be considered at a hearing before Judge Newell Jennings next week 1 The first hearing on the awarding of the money was held last Satur' 1 day afternoon when Nicholas Strano, the man who gave the orig inal information leading to the cap ture, Chief of Police McGuinness O South Porcupine, Canada and Con stable Flintoff of Ottawa mad
