Deputy Seferiades of Greece said the assembly's “platonic declarations of sympathy with Armenia’ were fol- lowed last year by more massacres “If the assembly wants to act” he cried, “let it act, but indulge in no more platonic resolutions. If more massacres occur the blood will stain on this assembly itself.” SERGEANT BRINGING SUSPECT BACK HOME (Continued From Firs. Page). after 9 o'clock police have no definite of Winkle's whereabouts eight o'clock of the night tion. There does not appear to be very much suspicion that the crime was committed by “The Rat" but the po- lice expect to find in him a material witness. No efforts are being spared to run down every clue and all sus- picious characters are being watched closely by the . police. ~Last night shortly before midnight there were not less than six uniformed police- men between Church street and the scene of the murder, among them being two sergeants. Police are still endeavoring to lo- cate the owner of the horse and car- riage said to he used by Winkle the day preceding the murder. Patrolman Michael Massey, of 76 Winter street, saw Winkle drive by his home be- tween one and two o'clock on Fri- day afternoon. He was driving the same bay horse he has been seen with since his favorite horse at Fin- negan's livery was sold to William Foster, superintendent of No. 4 water works. Who the owner of this horse and carriage is, the police are anx- fous to find out Another witness, Joseph Quasnick, residing near Oak street, said he saw Winkle in his outfit about 10 o'clock Friday morning. D. Sheinman states that he saw Winkle about an hour later on Broad street, and that the latter took him for a drive to Lafay- ctte street. Satisfied With Police, ““There is absolutely no foundation whatever for the statement in a Hart- ford paper that the family is thinking of hiring Pinkerton detectives, said Constable Fred R. Winkle, a brother of the deceased, this morning. “I am satisfied,” he continued. “that the po- lice are doing good work and we had not thought of hiring detectives. The police are working their heads off to try to find the murderers and I think they will get them. I would be pleased to have you tell the people in your paper that we are well satisfled with the work the police are doing."” Mr. Winkle also stated that the family is well pleased with the $1,000 reward offered by the state. When asked about the statement in a Hartford paper, alleging that the Winkle family was considering the en- gaging of Pinkerton detectives, be- cause of dissatisfaction with the local police, Mr. Winkle deniled it. Governor Acts jovernor Everett J. Lake today signed a letter authorizing Hugh 1. Alcorn to offer a reward of $1,000 for information leading to the arrest of the criminals or the criminal who killed Louis iWnkle. This action on the part of the governor shows that he also feels the conditions in New Britain should be remedied at all costs. Friday night.

Thus far they have examined many wit- nesses, none of whom make any statements that have a direct bear- ing upon the matter, and they are refusing to talk to local reporters, at least. The facts in the case may be briefly summarized. Facts in Case. 1. The body of Louis Winkle, real estate operator and believed to carry a large roll as a matter of habit, was found with one leg slightly bent under him and a knee in the air in an alleyway back of Main street near the corner of East Main Saturday morning. The twisted leg might indicate that he had fallen, but his hat was carefully placed in the crook of his arm, where it could not possibly have lodged had be faljen. His head was bruised by blows from a blunt instrument, which caused his death. The hat was not damaged by blows. A small quantity of change and a watch were on the body. There was no evidence of struggle about where he was found, neither had he been dragged to the spot as there were no marks indicating this. He was, presumably, carried there and laid down. The body was not in a place where he might have gone himself and been struck. He might have gone there to meet someone, but a person bent on mur- der would not have taken him to the place in daylight. The alley- way runs at right angles from the alley leading from Main etreet to Finnegan's stable, about 100 feet from Main street and running parallel with this thoroughfare, in a southerly direction for about 100 feet. It then turns at right angles and runs to the west for several hundied feet to a deserted central portion of the big square. it was just around the turn that the oody was “ound as if it had been carried to alley and dropped where it might not easily te seen. faloon Closed, “Rat” Held. The saloon of Klemens Kal- kowski, borders upon the alley to the e and on the back and on Main street to the front. District Attorney Smith states that the saloon is rumored to have been a headquarters for rum runners and that this phase will be investigated. “Rat” Cotter, bartender in the Kalkowski saloon, had been arrested in Bridgeport and brought here. He disappeared shortly after the murder. There might easily have been a row in the saloon, Winkle hit in such a fashion as to cause his death, the body laid aside by some- one who expected he would recover from the blow and dragged into the alley after it was seen that he was dead. The saloon closed Friday night. 2 Hints From Mayor. 3. Mayor Curtis hints, in a morning paper, that he believes that Renaldino was murdered some months ago and the evidence des- troyed by local police who were first upon the scene, although this is the first time that he has indi- cated a belief that was prevalent at the time of the Renaldino affair and he produces no evidence to sus- tain his belief beyond the prevalence of the rumor. He has been in- strumental in calling in state police- men to work on the case, other local authorities working with him. He has made no move to remove any police officials or board mem- bers despite his implication that the local police could not cope with the situation, given expreSsion when he asked for outside help. It is thought by many that the matter, when settled, if it ever is will also clear up the Renaldino affair and possibly implicate local police of- ficials in a “rum rumming ring.” Federal Men Here. 4.

WINKLE MURDERER me asked NOT RENALDINO'S, Widows of Both Claim They Had No Mutual Acquamtauces Theories that Winkle and Renaldino were murdered by the same *gang, thought to be a rum running gang. were dispelled this afternoon by state- ments issued by both widows that their husbands were not acquainted with each other and so far as is known had no mutual acquaintances. When asked what her theory was concerning the death of her husband, Mrs. Renaldino said * she -always thought he was murdered. Renaldino’s body was found sitting in the driver’'s seat of an abandoned car on the Farm- ington road, October 25, last year. Sergeant Richardson and the local po- lice are of the opinion, which was supported by the coroner’s verdict, that death was due to suicide. Others maintain the belief that the man was murdered. She said she did not care to stale whether or not she was sat- isfied with the investigation by the police, but that the state police charge of the investigation. “It is a shame and a disgrace to the cit man woh was murdered last Friday ni1ght or Saturday morning. “It is my belief,” she stated, “that whoever killed him has hidden the money away and will return later to look for ) Mrs. Winkle. telephoned the army officials at Washington today, where her son Hyman is a patient in the army houpital, requesting them not to tell the boy of his father's death. “He is sick,” she said, “and I don't want him to know it until he gets well.
