OF the six men accused of par.
ticipating in the mistake" killing
Of Wilson, shot down a year ago
as he drove to McDonald's Ia
koma Park home to deliver the
morning paper, two are dead and
the other four either in prison or
in the custody Of police, accord
ing to Major Brown.
CuginO Named Killer
Anthony Cugino, known to po-
lice as "the Stinger," hanged him
self in the New York City jail
after confeSsing to nine murders
on July 6, 1885. Cugino, named
by Major Brown today as the
man who fired the fatal shots that
ended Wilson'S life, before his
death told New York police Of all
the murders he committed "as far
aS he could remember"
He never mentioned the Wilson
killing, however, and police as
sumo he forgot" it.
At the time of his death Cugino
was suspected of two murders in
Washington, one of them the
Chevy Chase car barn murder,
and a robbery. He committed sui
eide rather than face death in the
electric chair. According to po-
lice records, he would kill anybody
ct any time for money.
william Cleary, Philadelphia
gang gSter, whose confession
"broke' the case three days ago,
has Jail record dating back to
1920. He also used an alias,
Thomas Milbourne."
John ~Slim" Dunn, another
mobSter who is serving from three
to Is years at Alcatraz, for his
part in the Christian Heurich
Brewery robbery in December,
1888, is the Finger man" in the
case, Major Brown said.
Dunn twice bungled the job of
killing Mcdonald, who had
aroused the enmity of gamblers
here because he "muscled in" on
them, according to the police YER
sion. 1t was Dunn who, police
say, placed explosive in McDon-
AIDS car about a week before Will
son was shot, and Dunn who
pointed out the unSuspecting Will
son as the latter leaned out of
his car to place he morning
paper in McDonald'S box.
Cleary has made a full confeS-
sion of the murder, committed a
year ago, Major Brown said.
According to the story he told
police, Cugino, Dewey Jenkins,
Claude Bailey, Ernest Myers,
"Slim" Dunn and himself planned
to kill Mickey Mcdonald.
Cleary, Dunn, Bailey, Cugino,
and Myers waited in the woods
near the house.
They had parked their automo-
bile on a road parallel to that at
McDonald's gate and separated
from it by q narrow strip of
woods. This comedies with Mrs.
McDonald's story that she neither
heard nor saw a car leave the
scene.
~Stinger" Carries Gun
The "Stinger," Cugino, is al
legged to have carried the shotgun.
for which police are now search
ing the Susquehanna River near
Havre de Grace, Md. Myers is
said to have been the man who
drove the killers to the scene.
Dunn, Cleary said. was the
"finger man" who made the fatal
blunder of pointing out Wilson
when the latter drove up to the
mail box to leave the morning
paper.
Cugino and Myers stood nearest
the road and blazed away stimuli
, taneously, the bullets literally
riddling Wilson and his car, po-
lice say.
Cugino is said to have fired
again as he ran into the road be.
hind Wilson's car and the route
agent slumped over the wheel
dead.
The gangsterS, with the excep-
ton Of Dunn, were declared to
have fled into the woods. He,
fearing he had made a mistake,
could not resist running past
the car to see the victim, accord
ing to Cleary.
It was when he passed in front
Of the headlights that both Mr..
and Mrs. Mcdonald claim they
saw him from the window.
Fled to Baltimore
With the exception of Dunn,
the killers fled to Baltimore, but
''Slim," fearing repriSals, because
he had bungled the job a second
time, gave himself up to Wash
ington police, thinking that he
would be safer in Jail.
There was no "big" money
passed in the intended murder of
Mcdonald, Cleary is reported to
have said, adding that only $4,000
was paid to bump" him off.
According to Major Brown, AL
Sutton will be indicted for the
Wilson murder as an accessory be-
fore the fact. Dewey jenkins, cap
tured in Baltimore a month ago
at the same time the murder car
was found, will be used as a wit
ness. Cleary, Dunn, and Myers
probably will be indicted as acceS.
