 Rervt. McEv0y Makes Arrest

SerKts McEVOy M1k0b AEEeBb
 It was Sergeant McEvoy who last night arrested Unikas and his son at the Corner Tavern in Brooklyn, where the elder man Is employed. Unikas was arrested first and ques. toned by Sergeant McEvoy and Motor Patrolmen Harold Lawlor and John Mcdonnell. A short time later the son came to take the father home, and he was also ques. ton and placed under arrest. Pc. lice say the two told conflicting stories, whcih made them beleive that their suspicious were correct.
 The son broke down first, and told in detail what he knew of the case, commencing with his fathers story of the affair which was told him late Sunday, october 24.
 The elder Unikas refused to talk until an interpreter was called to the scene, and through the lips Cf John Torella, former city court ins terpreter, he told the entire grue. some story.
 Were Tipped Off
 Tips by two persons, one Q very young boy, were the main leads in solving the case. Names of the two have been withheld by police, how ever, just as they promised they would do in their appeals for as- sistance from the public.
 One of the clues came from a man who said he saw the truck proceeding past Red Path Inn, on the ThomaSton road, early Sunday morning, with only one light. His description of the truck was accur- ate, and police worked with success on that angle.
 Like All the Others
 The story told by Unikas of the case Is typical of the majority of hit-and-run cases, although he did not even stop to look ct the victim. He said that he was driving along when suddenly the man loomed in front of him, and was struck by the right end of the bumper, and thrown forcibly against the rad!a- tor. Blood splattered about the en- zine cover, and headlight
 UnikaS then gave the car full speed and fled from the scene, with only one head light 1t, and leaving the dead Mike Bush, lying in Q pool of blood, and among fragments of the broken head light lense. which were to prove such vital clues to the police In the breaking of the case.
 Simply Went Home
 He said that he simply went home, put the car Into the barn, and then went clamly to his bed. Nothing was said of the incident until late Sunday, when he in. formed his son of what had tram spired. It was then that they de" cided to keep quiet about 1t and fix the car so that the case would not be traceable to 1t.
 The car Is now being held ct po- lice headquarters. The lense and frame of the left light, which were undamaged by the impact, have been transferred to the right side. A new lense has been placed in the left light, and is held in place by the frame which formerly support ed the right light.
 A huge dent is noticeable In the radiator shell, and Q portion Of the radiator itself was broken by the impact of the heavy body.
 Other Traces Found
 There are also traces about the body of the car which apparently result from the partial scrubbing of of the blood. Motor Patrolman Albert Overton displayed e jack knife covered with blood and hair, which had been found under the seat of the car, and which was first thought to have been used in the removal of the blood.
 Coroner Monzani is not inclined to believe that such is the case. He considers that Unikas might have used the knife about his farm, possibly in the butchering Of pigs, or other animals. In addition to his work in the tavern, Unikas main tains the farm on Sheffield street, which was the former Rigney prop erty, according to police. His son is employed at the American Pm division of the Scovill Mfg. com- pany, Waterville.
 Son Fixed Car
 The son has admitted that he fixed the car and headlights in an attempt to throw of police suspi.. cion. He was assisted by Vincent Saukas, who resides with the Unikas family. Saukas was ques- responsibilities of office in the same
