THE DRIVER IDENTIFIES (CHAUEFEUR OF PRESIDENTS ! BUGKLEY SUSPECT Angelo Livecchi, Accused of Murder, Believed to Have Pointed Out Victim. By the Associated Press. DETROIT. August 8.—Angelo Livec- | chi, charged with first-degree murder | in the slaying of Radio Announcer | Jerry Buckley July 23, was identified as the man who pointed Buckley out to his killers by a taxi driver, who con- fronted him at his examination today. Livecchi was held for trial without bond by Recorder’s Judge John V. Bren- man. No date was set Gus Reno. whose taxi stand was at | the La Salle Hotel. in which Buckley was killed, identified Livecchi as the man who emerged from the Adelaide street entrance and talked to some men loitering nearby. He said that later Livecchi came out and signaled to the men to enter. A few seconds later, Reno said, he heard shots. Eimer Jolley, house detective at the hotel, identified Livecchi as the man | whom he saw acting suspiciously in the lobby shortly before the shooting. Police officials today named five men as involved in the killing of Buckley. All are known as gangsters. | In addition to the suspects listed are Thomas (Yonny) Licavoli, Ted Pizzing, Mike Morgany and Frank Cammarata In making these names public Police Commissioner Thomas C. Wilcox and | his ranking officers made no statement | as to what they believe was the motive of the crime. Plans were made to | broadcast pictures and descriptions of the men. Announcement of plans to broadcast pictures and descriptions came after the Free Press had published dispatches from several cities saying that the De- troit authorities had -not sought co- operation in their search for the killers. Police officials and the county prose- eutor's office today apparently were taking exactly opposite views of the problem presented by the killing. The Circuit Court had under advise- ment a petition of Prosecutor James E. | Chenot asking for a 23-man grand jury to investigate the assassination | and other recent crimes in Detroit. ; This petition stated that the identity | and motive of the killers are “unknown | to your petitioner” and declared that persons in Detroit could give informa- | tion to a grand jury which would help | solve the case. | The News today quoted Commissioner Wilcox as saying that two of the four angsters sought as the killers of Buck- ey were among the four men who | SETS NO-ACCIDENT RECORD Francis H.
