BRUTAL SLAYER,
 HELD FOR CRIME

New York. April 22-(UP)-Po- licemen, relieved of the necessity of playing the role of dumb cops, hus- tied curly -haired, good boy" John Fiorenza toward the electric chair today as ruthlessly as he attacked and murdered Mrs. Nancy Evans Titterton 12 oays ago. Yesterday Fiorenza, 24, confessed that he was the maniac-his own word-who killed Mrs. Titcerton in a frenzy of brutal lust. He was arraigned today and held for first degree murder. Tomorrow District Attorney William c. Dodge will ask for an indictment. "The trial will begin on the earliest date the courts can allot," Dodge said.
 May Have Done More
 While lawyers greased the wheels of justice, detectives, who solved Fiorenza's perfect" crime with 8 combination of science and flat footing, investigated the possibility that 1t was he who stripped the clothes from pretty deaf-and- dumb girl on a snow-covered apart- ment roof near his home Jan. 2l and that he is the "Peeping Tom" who had terrified women of the same neighborhood.
