RENALDI CASEIS | BROUGHT UP AGAIN No Charges Made But It Is Linked With Rum Runners Although no direct charges or cusations are bel Renaldino cw Jocted intc On the 1920, Captain afternoon of Oc Thomas W worth of Ibelle's corner. Mcor Willlam P. Hayes d to the scene, where he found Enfo Renaldino, seated behind the wheel of his super-six Hudson touring v gag over his mouth and & pistol in his h As %00n as the facts were communi- eated to Captain Grace, Riehardson, and Theodore : then w member of the police depart- ment, went to the scene. Renaldino's body was found, as reported by Officer Hayes, on the Farmington road near the No. 4 reservoir of the Hartford water department. The revolver show- ed that three shots had been fired, ons of them penetrating the dead man's right ear. A gag made of a handker- chief was found around the dead man’'s mouth. In a lot nearby was found a small sum of money scattered about. In the car was a note scribbled to his wife, and an insurance policy for $2,000 which the dead man had | taken out a few moments before the | affair. A few hours later the state po- Moe arrived on the scene. At the au- topsy performed by Medical Examiner | Philip Bunce of Hartford, in the un- | dertaking rooms of Larala and Com- pany on Spring street, the opinion pre- wvalled that the man met his death by his own act, the usual observations were mado by t ctor, and in a subsequent report ve his opinion, “of probable suleid State Polico Active. While the suicide theory was prac- tically accepted officially In this city, ft is said that the state police have been active In the case ever since. Thomas F. Egan, foamer superintend- ent of police, a short time after the affair, said that until other facts were presented the matter was considered suigeidn, For the past few months, the state officials have put in much time in trying to solve the affair. Rumors from time to time, had it that the mat- tor was nearing a solution, and that « sensation was due if the matter ever “broke."” Sure It Was Murder. Among those who have stuck to the bellef that Renaldino met his death at the hands of rum ranners, was his young wife. On every occasion of talk- ing of the affair, Mrs. Renaldino has maintained that there was no reason in the world why her nusband should end his own life. She spoke of his happy frame of mind at all times, and particularly on the morning of the af- falr, when he kissed her good-bye atter lelling her he was going to Farmington on a business deal. Mrs. Renaldino sald her husband was a home Joving man, who seemed very dovotod to her. In his business as a clerk tor A. Maneini, a Franklin street macaroni dealer, Renaldino seemed to take considerable Interest What is believed to have strength- ened the police theory that Renaldino committed suicide, was the fact that the note found in the automobile read an follows: “76 Franklin strect, Ma- @ini has found out that I had $2,000 They have assassinated me and they have made me suffer. Lell. Good-bye." Sure It Was Saicide, Sergeant Richardson has from the outset of his investigation of the af- falr, stuck to the theory that Ren- aldino ended his lifs, when it became apparent to him, that his alleged em- bezzloment of money was being dis- covered. Having always lived a life of pleasure, it was freely sald by that rather than face the disgr boing arrested on a serious oharge, decided to end it all. The fact that car. The Sovereigns Trading Co.

It's one of the kind the war made popular. Renaldino had an insurance policy for $2,000 which was not payable accord- ing to the police in the event of sul- cide, the dead man decided 1> make the affair look like a case of murder, thereby securing the money for his wife. To those who have belleved in the theory that Renaldino was murdered, It was advanced that he was a rum runner, and having decided to break away from the so-called ring, he be- ing the possessor of too much infor- mation as to the whys and where- fors of the illicit business, would prove a detriment to the others engaged in the ring., with the result that mur- der means were resorted to to end his life, and they materialized with the finding of the body. The local police on the day of the affair locked up thre . Antoflo Manchini, Ren- aldino's oyer, his brother-in-law, Joseph . of 245 Elm street, and Willlam apponi, a friend of the dead man. The men were only held a short time on suspicion, and were afterward released Many persons were attracted to the scene of the killing, and those doubt- ing the sulcide theory, set forth the claims that the ground nearby showed signs of a struggle. There were claims made that on the ground 14 feet away from the automobile, blood spots were found. James McCor- mack and his wife and an employed man on his farm, told a story at the time of the affair, of seeing three men scuffling at the scene where the body was found. Then again, it is claimed that being short in his ac- counts prompted Renaldino to com- mit suicide is scoffed at, as It is claimed that had made statements to the effect that he was only too glad to have his clerk re- turn to work, after he had been ab- ment for several days. and the report had reached Mancini that Enio was not to retu Mancini Axelrod § Workmer of making pled by Maurice Axelroc 1 the task e to be occu at the corner CASH STORE Link Sausage . corne Girls, on a hickory limb, and go right out into the deep of these it up and tie Delivery 9:15 a. m.—3:00 p. m.
