Show DDI SUSPECTS BROUGHJ HEBE Detectives Arrive From Price With Bruno and Companion. I Detectives Clifford Patten and G. M. Hamby arrived in Salt Lake this morning at 2 o'clock, having in their custody Tony Bruno, suspect In the explosion case which wrecked the Standard hotel, 472i West Second South street, and husband of one of the victims, and Charles D'Stafor, held by the police as an accomplice. The prisoners pris-oners were removed from the Denver & Rio Grande train from Price at Murray and brought to Salt Lake in Chief of Detectives De-tectives Joseph C. Sharp's private machine. ma-chine. This action was taken by the authorities au-thorities for fear that should lhe men be brought to Salt Lane on the train they would probably meet with bodily harm, as the police assert that the men have many enemies among the Italian population popula-tion of Salt Lake. Bruno, a gaunt-faced Italian, probably 30 years of age, dressed in a red macki-naw, macki-naw, corduroy trousers, and wearing "store" shoes, entered his cell calmly smoking a cigaret. His fellow prisoner, D'Stafor, much shorter and heavier, failed to pull himself together and feebly mounted mount-ed the jail steps. He was dressed in dirty clothing. Bruno, when asked why he did not come, to Salt Lake when he heard that his wife and children were dangerously wounded, shrugged his shoulders, swallowed and, shifting his eyes, replied that he had wanted to come, but was arrested before he could get away from the mine. That Bruno, when formally accused of placing the explosives in the Standard hotel, which was wrecked, and endanuer- ing the lives of twenty roomers, will, no doubt, offer a plausible alibi, is the belief of the detectives who succeeded in placing him under arrest. Bruno last night told his captors that he could name numbers of witnesses who could prove he had not been in Salt Lake since July 5. Deetctives Patten and Hamby said last night they have evidence that Bruno was In Salt Lake both August 28 and Saturday and Sunday a week ago. Additional evidence evi-dence procured against Bruno that he has been recently in Salt Lake came to light Sunday when the detectives were searching Bruno's suitcase In his room In Scofleld. A revolver, answering the description exactly of a weapon carried when Bruno was in Salt Lake a week ago reposed in his still unpacked suitcase. When jailed this morning. Bruno and D'Stafor were placed in separate tiers of the jail. A third arrest was made yesterday by the police when Detective 'William St. John placed under arrest John Caruso, 2S years of age. at 6S Commercial street. He is being held as a witness, say the police. |
