AMIGO, the local man arrested.
Is engaged In the trucking busi-
ness. Local police stated this
morning that his connection with
the case has not been entirely
elaborated upon by the Hartford
authorities. However, talk OF. HI
lacking and other troubles In the
Cuercina alcohol ring was heard
to-day and It Is believed that the
Hartford officials have taken Am
leo into custody because he had
some connection with the slain
man.
Sunday night Detective Hickey
came to waterbury after securing
the Naugatuck valley, assisted by
two Hartford Italians. At first II
was believed that the Staying was
part OF the activities OF the "Ma-
ma. But now this theory, It Is un-
dorstood, has been blasted and IL
quor believed to be at the bottom

At the same time the Hartford
authorities are entertaining anoth-
or theory. Although married.
Cuercina was intimate with an
other woman In Hartford, the po-
lice have learned. 1t Is through
this source that the police have
established the fact that Cuercina
was deliberately put ION the spot.
An unknown friend of the dead
man, not knowing that the Staying
had already taken place, called q
woman close to the girl intimate
with Cuercina and told her to call
the girl and tell Cuercina to stay
with her so as to be safe from
harm. The warning came too late.
for at the time OF the call Cuer-
Gina was lying In his garage with
two bullet wounds and 10 stab
wounds in his body, He was dead.
Revenge was no doubt the mo-
tive and the Hartford police are
working on the question OF whe-
Their this revenge was invoked be-
cause of trouble in the liquor traf-
fic or trouble with some woman.
AMIGOS arrest was made in con-
nection with the first theory.
