Yailure of the Hartford police to| notify the New Britain police of the murder of Carmelo Tirlongo In Hartford Sunday noon, with the im- portant fact that Cezare Bar murderer, had been driven to New Britain, believed to have given Barberd his start towards New Yorlk, it was said at local pollcs head- quarters today The murder occurred about noon Sunday, yet it was 12: o'clock Monday morning before Desk Ser- geant Patrick A. McAvay, on duty at local headquarters, was notified by telephone that Barberi was be- lieved to be at 56 Beaver street. In the meantime, Barberi had arrived in an automobile and had his wounds dressed and bandaged Carmelo Bongiovanni of 56 Beaver street, who, it Is alleged, drove the murderer out of the city. Late Search of House At 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, 24 hours after the murder, Detective Sergeants John Midigan and Nicholas Gallicchio of the police department came to local po- lice headquarters and asked that a detail be given them to search the Beaver street house. Chief Hart said today he did not know the Hartford polics were coming until they walked in. Nevertheless, he detailed Detective Sergeant Willlam P. McCue, Sergeant Patrick O'Mara and Officers Alfred Tan- guay, John Kennedy, Thomas C. Dolan, William Cronin and Herbert ©. Lyon to accompany them.

Bongiavonni Admits Part Last night, while the Hartford de- ives ‘were in Waterbury on a fruitiess sea~ch, Bongiovanni, hav- ing heard the police had been seek- him on Beaver street, came to police headquarters and was grilled in the detective bureau. According to the police, he admitted to Ser. geant McCue that Barberi was dri- ven to his home Sunday afternoon short time after beri's face and head were bleeding and he told the local man he had been hurt in an antomobile acei- dent. On his request, Bongiavonni obtained bandages at a drug store and helped bind the wounds, after | which he drove him out of the city. Sergeant MeCue, aft ling, drew from Bongiavonni the ad- mission that he knew Barberi had heen wounded In a fight. He admit- ted, according to the police, that had faked the story of the automo- bile accident. Other acmissions he is alleged to have made were given, to the Hartford detectives on their | return from Waterbury, and Ser- geant McCue placed the charge of aiding and abetting in Barberi’s es- cape. Bongiovanni was turned over to the Hartford detectives, who took him to New York, where, it is be- lieved, Barberi s hiding.
