claimed Thats BendettolThe Secret F
Service Men Confirm Identification
Maduenia Bendetto the Buffalo Italian who has been identified pol °
lively as the victim in the great barrel murder mystery was definitely
tracedtoday to association with some of the men under arrest as suspects y
in the case Three of them were held in Jefferson Market Court one
Lupo on a charge counterfeiting arid the others Lorenzo Labaido and
Pl Fanele for I
Giuseppe perjury
It was brought out in the examination of Fanele that he called atthe
office of Lawyer John t Connell about two weeks agojn company with
Bendetto They wanted to find out about Bendettos brotherinlaw fir
Joseph De Prima counterfeiter who is serving term in Sing Sing
Menwho were in theoffice at the time went to the Morgue today and
identified Bendetto ifrpmliisa appearance and his clothing
< The examination of the suspects was postponed after the three men 1
tione4 had been disposed ofTht authorities are waiting hear from t
DetectiveSergeant Petrosini who went to Buffalo this morning He will <
find out why Bendetto left his home and came to New York The police r
believe that he was lured here to be assassinatedand that at least one
man was brought all the way from Italy to ° do the job
Warden Johnson of Sing Sing identified pictures of the dead man a
asthose of a man who ailed on Joe de Prima a weekago last Saturday
The warden received him The caller asked that the prisoner be told
that Bendetto was there to see him De Prima came down and the two
had a talk together for half an hour Then the man went away D6 v3
Prima refused to see reporters today >

His SON IDENTIFIES HIM x
An Evening World correspondent went to the home of Bendetto in
Buffalo this afternoon with a copy of this newspaper of last Tuesday a
Salvatore Bendetlo son of the murdered man produced a photograph
his father This photograph and The Evening World photograph taken in
the Morgue were found to be identical k
It is certainly my father said Salvatore He has been away froni
home for about two weeks The last we heard of him he was in New
York This was nearly two weeks ago He wrote then that he was comi
ing home Since tlfen we have not heard
The Identification was in many respects brought about as strangely M
was the raid on the thirteen Italian suspects Out of this raid and tho eel >
ure of papers reaulUng from it will probably come tao clearing up ot tho
mystery I
FIRST IDENTIFICATION DRAMATIC
From letters found in the effects of the suspects under arrest the pollM i
learned that Joseph De Prima serving a four years sentence for counter
felting In Sing Sing is a brotherinlaw of Bondetto DetectlveSergt Ptrs
slnl went to Sin Sing taking with him a copy of The Evening World pis
tograph He showed It to De Prima who promptly fainted away
It Is my brothertu law Bendetto he said when be had recovers
He was up to see me a week ago yesterday and said he would start bask > A
to Buffalo the next day
Tho Identification of the dead man as George Morrissette the profs
slonal strike breaker tram Waterbury Conn was exploded simultaneously
with confirmation of the Buffalo Identification Mrs Morrissette examined
the body in the Morgue and said that it was not that of her husbaad al f
though she admitted that the resemblance was striking
The thirteen prisoners were arraigned In Jefferson Market Court tat
afternoon when Lorento Labaido one of the suspects was held oa A
charge ot p rury This man came from Italy on March 16 last and th
is a suspicion that he was sent to New York solely for the purpose of doing
away with Bendetto
