 Bristol, Jan. 6.--That the bullet which destroyed the life of Antonio Tottore of Gridley street on Sunday night ill the fracas which took place at the home Of Salvatore DiSalva- tore on Cherry street was fired at close range was the opinion of the local police after the completion of an autopsy on the dead body last night at the undertaking rooms of Thomas r. O'Brien, by Dr. Henry N. Costello of Hartford, acting for Coroner Philip Calhoun and local Medical Examiner Dr. Arthur &. Bracket. The left shoulder, where the bullet entered, was powder stained through the clothes, leaving an unmistakable mark.
 In it's course, the bullet plowed through both lungs, pierced the heart and was prevented from pene- tratlng through the right side by bone. Dr. Costello was of the opin- ion that a wound of the character as revealed in the autopsy would not kill man of Tottore's type instant ly. This belief strengthened the theory of the police that the fatal alfray took place around ! o'clock.
 Suspects Stubborn

The others in the case told every conceivable story of bein gelsewhere than at the home where the slashing and shooting affray took pacG.

 Many See Prisoners.
 As the prisoners were being pre- pared for the trip, being assigned il the two motor cars, a large crow gathered at the police station 10 se' them off.
