Says She Left Husband in De-

"Chercher la Femme" the French
say whenever there is crime COM
mitted, and today the police admitted
that in the Bruno Apdreoii murder
case they had found the woman" and
questioned her also. Information had
been given to 1t. Rock. of the police
detective bureau that there was a
woman in Kenosha who had accom-
panied Andreoli here from her home
in Detroit, The story went that she
was married woman and that she
brought with her three of her seven
children, leaving her husband behind.
She said that her home had been in
Highland Park, Mich.
Whether this story was true and
whether there was an irate husband
somewhere in Michigan who had rea-
son to hold a grievance against Bruno
Andreoli, was something which the
police were anxious to ascertain, but
soon after the murder of Andreoli the
woman could not be found. Her where
abouts were learned only on Thursday
and then 1t. Rock directed Mrs. Nc
Neil of the police service bureau to
bring her to the police Office.
Has Nothing to Tell.
ssMrs. Caroline Clara" the woman
said her name was when she was To-
Gated by Mrs. Mcneil. She. insisted
that she had no other surname. She
was short round mature Italian
woman and her three little girls were
with her in the home where she had
taken refuge.
For long time she was questioned
in the Office of Mrs.. Mcneil by the
police lieutenant and policewoman,
but she repeated over and over again
that she had no story to tell.
Didn't you meet Bruno Andreoli in
Detroit?" the woman was asked. She
admitted that it was true.
Didn't you come with him to Ke-
nosha ?"
'No, I didn't" she replied, al came
here alone with my three girls"
'Who supplied the money!"
81 had fifteen dollars and I paid my
way and the children's out of that,
she answered.
Says He Bought Her No Clothes.
Mrs. Clara said that while she was
here Bruno Andreoli did not buy her
any clothes or pay for her support.
She said she knew him only as an
acquaintance and a friend.
sDon't you know that on the after
noon before the murder" the police
lieutenant continued, "that someone
saw you and Bruno together at Racine
and he was buying something for
your"
ut couldn't have been me-" the lit
tie woman answered, because l was
sick in bed"
Mrs. Clara admitted that she had no
money and that she had had no work
to do since she came to Kenosha. She
said that she had been able to stay
alive and keep. her children nourished
only through the kindness and charity
of an Italian family whom she knew
here.
''Then how on earth did you happen
to come to Kenosha at all? Why did
you leave your husbands"
The woman replied that she had left
her husband because she was afraid
he would kill her. The police lieu
tenant here pressed her with ques-
tions, asking if her husband were of a
fiery temper, if he had been arrested
before, and if he used gun. Mrs.
Clara admitted that he had once been
arrested for carrying gun, but had
nothing to say about him beyond say
ing that and repeating that she her
self had stood in deadly fear of him.
She steadily refused to admit that he
might have reasons for coming to Ke-
nosha and attacking Bruno Andreoli.
fearful and distressed, she was al
lowed to depart, drawing her children
who had waited in the hall, about her.
1t. Rock said today that while there
was little to be learned from the wom-
an herself, that he believed that the
last clue the police have followed in
the Andreoli case is more productive
of results than the gangster theory
which results in the arrest of three
suspects on suspicion, Vito Scolerio,
Andrew Tenuta and Sam Covelli, who
were released by the court because of
lack of evidence to hold them further.
