Stamford. May IS (AP).--With no overnight developments to aid them in solving the triple murder Of Frank and Guiseppi Vcrtuli, brothers. and Paul Di Angelo the police today were following three theories in hope of obtaining facts.

 The police are certain there were six men involved and that one was wounded and taken away by the other two.
 Murders in the Open
 The murders occurred in the open at the corner of West Main and Spruce streets just after { 8. m, yes terday. The Vertuli brothers were shot 10 death and Di Angelo was mortally stabbed. A trail of blood ended at a fence where it was at first thought the wounded fourth man was picked up and carried away. The police have convassed hospitals and physicians offices for many miles in an effort to locate a man applying for surgical treat ment.
 Di Angelo was well known to the police having been suspected of be- ing bootleggcr. He was shot and stabbed in his store here less than two years ago and since that time had been once arrested for carry ing concealed weapons.
 So far as known all three men who now are dead were unmarried. Frank Vertuli came here tvom Bayonne, N. ]. while his brother Guiseppi was well known in Peck skill and Poughkeepsie, \. Y.
 Pistol Shots Heard
