As two or three Ttelians arc nlways assoclatwed together In an operation of tuls kind,—one making and the others pussing thy bugus moncy,—It 18 Inferred, from thelr futimacy, that Pltcroso and Casino Vatroso, now under arrcst for com- rlgcny in the kifling, were interested with him 'the buslucss, It will be remembered whon Piteroso wus found at Ninetcenth and State strcota by Pollecroun Kepley on the moruin, the 10th Inst., he was with Vatrosu, who sald he Liad found him lying helpiess fu the gutter and waa tuking bl to the Couuty Hospital, As He could not tell how the — TRIBUN WEDN SSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1876, Vatroeo could not, or would not, tell where ho Tived, saying, however, that he wae a barberand worked on the corner of Twenty-sixth and State streete, Kepley took them hoth to the Twenty- #ecand Street Btation. When asked whostabbed him, Piteroso deelined to say anythiug about the afafe, and all that could be gléaned from him was that lie too was a barber, and worked at the corner of 'Twenty-sixth and Stato streels. Bubsequently, in an Interview in Itallan with Vatroso, permitted In the hope that ho would say something_about tho cutting, he sald he lived at No. 270 Wallave strect, with one Gae- tano Russo, wlo lind stabbed him in a quarrel cngcudercd by an old fend. There he stopped. What the foud was he.rofused to state. Mis conduct, to say tho least, wus singular, and gavo rise to the suspiclon hat TiB TAD A YECRET TO CONCBAL. Though dnn;':‘urousl{v wounded and there was carcel nn‘{ nrcu recovery, even the knowl- edge that death was near would not wring it from him. Ho was taken to the County Hospl- tal for treatnent, and a search was. begun fo Russo. Theoflicers soon Iearned thit there was no sich number aa 270 Wallace street, or rather that there was o house on the lot. Fvidently they had been deceived, but eiving Plteroso the Lenetit of the donbt, they thought they might have misunderstood him. Wihen juterrogated again as to where Ruseo llved, he anid on Halsted street. He dled the samo af- ternoon (221), having exculpated Vatroso from all blame, and sayini that the cutting was dono withn Inrge carving-knife. Not satisfied with the mouner in which Vatross had conducted himself, he too baving been caught in n llc, for the place where he sald he worked could not bo found, ho was arralgned before a polics nogls- trate, and committed in default of bail to await "developmenta, Boinu one Jumped Lo the conclusion that THE DECEASED IIAD BEEN INTIMATE WiTH RUSSO'8 WIFE, and accounted for his silence a8 to the cause of the affray on this ground, Iis reticence could not be otherwlse expluined, and this theory would doubtiess have been generally acconted but for the arrest of . Russo's wife, ~ It seems that tho policemen who were working on the casc nacertafued that she had lived at No, 036 Btato strect, nnd moved thence only a short time ngo to No. 113 Wallaco street, This house was watched closely, since it was thought If Russgo had not lefé the city he would meet his wife either there or somewhere clse. Tnstrite- tions had been given to follow hier wherever shie went, and to keep track of whoever sho met in the street. By this means, it she stopped and conversed with any one whio brought a mcssuze from her husband, his hiding-place coukd have been caslly learned by ‘*shadowing? the mes- senger. MRS, RUSSO CAME OUT OF NIER HOMN SATURDAY AFTERNOON, and two officers who wero on the lookout fol- lowed hier at a distance 50 83 to avert suspicion. Bho had with her two children, one of them a baby., Golnyf' {nto a store ou Halsted street she remained o few moments and then came out, ond entered another shop ubout a block off, ataying Inside about the samoe length of time. Walkiug north shout aguurter of nmile, she went iuto a third shop, and then a fourth. This was very singolar, as she did not, appurently, Inty anything, fetching out no bundles. no of the oflicors concluded to sce what she was up to, so he asked ane of tho shupkeepers what the woman with the two children wanted, Tho roply was, “She bought £ cents worth of hoarhound candy." *What kind of money did she give you!” ** A sliver half-loltar.’ Vil you let me look at it 4 Certainly,” and it was produced, and ex- amined,and pronounced to be counterleit—very i’nh‘| xlu to ring, but somewhat rough and leady- onking. ‘I'ils was something that had not been antlef- pated. The woman was A'SHOVER OF BOOUS MONEY, and used the two children to Diind the shop- Jeepers. £ho bud borrowéd both for the pur- nose of aldlug her In her operations, for she los none of her own. The schemo was an excellent one, beeatise a woman with. two small children would Le the Jast person in theworld who would be susnected of belng engaged in such work, and it proved to bo very protitable duriug tho after- noon, The first two storcs sbe visited bad received one bf the bogue colng, as hud the fourth, and five other shopinen were also victimized within another hour.” Having gotten rid of nino pleces, Mrs, Russo was arrested. She was allowed to run, after the fourth had been *dropped, In order to have evidence which could not be zaln- sald, Tn but onc of the stores she visited was the genuineness of the coln :}ucmuuefl; her forloru appearauca and the children werea good subterfugo, In this one shiop, the woman be- lind the counter had doubts, but Mrs, Russo sald the coln must be good; if It wes not, a8 she lived Iu the nelghborhioed, she would take it back, Another customer looked at if, re- inarked that it was good, and it was deposited in tho till. {1 the wife of aman isa shuver of counter- felt money 1t I8 pretty road evidence that TR HUSBAND IIMSELY I8 IN TilP, BUSINESS, o When tho woman was locked up, Sergt, Bcavey caing to the conclusion that this event would throw some light on the cause of the murder, The house No. 118 Wallace slreet was searched without delay, but nothing to show thut the coin had been mado thers was Lrought to the surfoce.” Early Monday moruing the rooms at No, 030 State strect weroe thorowshly, over- hauled, and what the ofileers were lovking for was found.

Only u plece of pluster-of-Parls, with a portion of the ohverse of a 50-tent plece, was found, There was no bogus money secreted auywhere; at least nono was liscovered after the most thorough search, Itallancounterfeiters aro sharp rogues, and never take any chances, llow they will'llo when caught, and lnlcnd Ignorance of the languag aud money of the country! They usually work ut night, and moald only a few pleces,—ten or Afteen; and when theseare flnfshed thoe ladles, chemienls, cte, ars carefnlly put away {n a acuure place, and the moulls secreted in un- othor, This wus undoubtedly tho way Rosso did business. The fuct that he was dolng some- thing In his room which be wished to be un- known wus patent to the other peoplo fn tho bullding; and, slnes he was an Itallan, and curlous-nuting men came tosce him occasiovully, und bo wua close-mouthied, they set him down 108 o counterfclter; and if It had natbeen for tho murder, the whole zang would doubtless have heen fn cuatody for this erfine, Assuming that Piteraso was one of the party, his admission that hie lved with Russo warranting tho as- sumption, and that his deuth was hrought about by a quarrel, the eause of which ho refused to state, it o belleved by the police that tho two had words alout the percentage of profits, It was cither this which provolked tha flght, or else Russo looked upon Piteroso as o “give-away—us one who had worked into his confidence fu the luterest of the sceret sery- fce for the purpose of securiug his conviction.

Russo, who says she knows nothing about the quarrel or murder, und scouts the ullega- tlon thnt she has “more than one man,” strengthens the theory which now obtu'ns as to the cause of the homicide. It is certalnly plausible, and, in the absence of any other re- vonelluble with tho associations of the parties, will undoubtedly be gencrally accepted, TUE WOMAN MAD A HEAIIN before United States Cotnmissioner Hoyne yes- torday morning, Four veopls produced spu- rlous colus which shehud passcdupon them, und identiiied her fully, Five others recognlzed her, hut the coln they got had been thuown into the drawer with goad specle, and they could not swear positively as to the plecesgho landedthem, The muterlals cuptured were also introduced, buy they uro valucless na evidenco agalnst heror uuy ono else.

On tho ather hand, it was urged that the Comn- troller hind borrowed money to carry on tho schools, none having been collected on account of taxcs, nnl that it was but right to pay the fu- terest on tho loan made. Scveral of the In. spectors wanted the matter to hf oyer until the next meeting so that further light, so much needed, apparently, could bo obtalned, It wos, howey er, ordered 1o be pald—yeas, 85 nays, 4— as follow as—Arnold, Covert, Kohn, Prusslng, Reed, Welch, Wells, and Sulllvan, Nays—English, Hoyno, Jacobs, and Hots, Inspector Welch imoved that there be an ex- amination of puplis in the Grammar School for admission to the High School Dee. 10, Agreed to.
