STEPSON IDENTIFIES IT AS ONE : WHICH HE HAD LENT FATHER,. Timepiece Was Pledged on the Bowery in the Afternoon After the Body of Benedetto Madonia Was Found in East Eleventh Street---Police Will Not Say What New Evi, dence Has Been Discovered Against the Other Prisoners in the Case. S AY ‘* We have traced the barrel murder directly to Tomasso Petto, als known as ‘ The Ox,’ and to-day the detectives in this bureau new evidence against the other prisoners,” said Inspector. McClusky this “| cannot at présent disclose the character of the evidence, as that would be jumping at conclusions, but in my own mind | feel that we will.be able by the new evidence to fasten the crime'on “the” garig” und arrest.” Beyond this the Inspector would not go. Petto, who has been in the House of Detention, was arraigned to-day and remanded to the Tombs on the charge of murder in the first degrees. He was the man who pawned the watch of Benedetto Madonia, the victim of the Mafia’s hate, and through that watch he has come to his’ present state. A pawn ticket was found on him when he was arrested, and when the watch, was taken from pawn it was identified by the mur- dered man’s stepson, who was brought down from Buffalo last night for this purpose. Detective-Sergt. McCafferty said after Petto had been comthitted to the Tombs that the police had already evidence enough against him te send him to the electric chair. : HOPE FOR A CONFESSION. ow The other suspects are still in the House of Detention as witnesses They will appear on Monday at the Coroner's inquest, which will be before Coroner Scholer with Petto as the prisoner charged with the Now that the evidence against him is so strong it is hoped that he de some of the others, realizing the dangerous position they are in, will turn State’s evidence. Petto got the nickname “Il Bove,” the ox, because of his e strength. He was selected to act as the personal bodyguard of peer the leader of the band. He is about 5 feet 8 inches in height and of mage sive breadth of shoulders, His arms and limbs are’as thick as tree trunke, yet there is no superfluous flesh on them. His bull neck, square jaw, low broad forehead and short wiry hair, give an impress of his enormous toate, He has the typical build of the professional strong man. Detective-Sergeant MoCafferty, who is one of the most powerful men on Inspector McClusky’s staff, had the struggle of his life to make “The Ox” a prisoner, He was with Chief Flynn, of the Secret Service, and De tective-Sergeant Foy in search of Morello. They came upon the Mafia lead- er at Forsyth and Delancey streets, with his stalwart bodyguard slouching along a few steps behind him, As Foy stepped forward and put bis hand on Morello’s shoulder “The Ox" drew a revolver and sprang at him, hut Mo- Cafferty stopped the uplifted arm and tried to twist it up behind him.
