The arrest of the six men in New York last night and today.is only the first step in a widespread campaign which is expected to result in the capture of at least a score or more, according to the federal offi- cials. In the meantime the toll of death and serious illness caused through drinking wood alcohol and eiler ollicit concections. continued to mount in New York and adjacent cities. D inz the day four mere deaths were recorded, oné each from Newark. - abeth, Passaic, J., and one 0 New York.

The Lvo men were released tonight on §25,000 bail pend- ing further examination, and in the meantime revenue agents und city de- tectives: are continuing their inves gation as to the sources of the liquor which the two are accused of having distriuted. Romanelli is supposed to have obtained large uantities on the ground that he needed it for embalm- ing purposes but wherg he purchased it has not yet beeu lealned. The remaining four mén are Adoiph Panarelli, a former saloon keeper; Carmine Licenziato, Amedio Deloma and Luigi Puca, Italian grocers.

According fo this story Salz- berg -got three barrels of liquor from Romanelll through Panarelli for which he paid $5,000. while the go-between was paid $150 as brokerage commis- sion. Romanelli is said to have sup- plied seven barrels in all, five of which have been traced. while two are still missing. Two of the seven barrels of liquor which Romanelli is accused of having sold are said to have been bought hy a Bronx saloon keeper. This man, ac- cording to Colonel Porter, came to Panarelli after the sale and denounced him for having charged him $3,200 for wood_alcohol. Panarelli claims, Col- onel Porter said, that he took a sam- ple of the liquor to a druggist, who confirmed the saloon _keeper's word that it was poison. He said that he then warned Salzberg by telephone not to sell any of the stuff he had bought. Ralzher~ tald him. he con- tinued, that he had sold a barrel t~ dealer in Ciconee, .wass, and smaller quantities to other dealers in Hartfora but that he would try and recover as much of the liguor as he could. Later he was informed by Salzberg that he had got back almost all excevt a haif barrel which had been sold in Chico- pee. After reading of the deaths from wopd alcohol poisoning in Connecti- cut -and Massachusetts, Panarelli went to a lawyer and, on his ddvice. sur- rendered himself to Revenue Agent Dobbs.
