Father Moretto said that no police- man or detective ever visited him in relation to Coochi or the Ruth Crug~ last night, The er case until point In this is that the police au- thorities investigating the disappear- ance of Ruth Cruger apparently made no effort to trace Cooch! since they overiooked what a private a tective found without difficulty— namely the priest who married Coc- obi; and, If the priest had told Helen Cruger the truth the Cruger family would have had a later line on Coo- chi's movements than the police pos- sessed. The District Attorney did not ques- tion Father Moretto about what Cocchi told him in the confessional, Such a communication is privileged. District Attorney Swann made this point clear in a statement this after- noon jn which he stated that certain newspapers—not including The Even- ing World—had said that he tried to obtain from Father Moretto the se- erets of the confessional, Search of the records of The So- ciety for Italian Immigrants, at No. 6 Water Street, made to-day at the instigation of the District Attorne: office to determine if Cocchi stopped there before sailing to Italy failed to disclose that he had found refuge in the home while the police were look- ing for him, 4 In the preliminary questioning of Father Moretto it was understood that Cocchi might have taken refuge in the Water Street home, but this, James Tozzi, superintendent for the Society, denied. All records of lodgers are kept and it was declared that no person was received in February who could not be accounted for. POLICE RECORDS SHOW MAR- RIAGE BY FATHER MORETTO. Pofice records made public to-day @how that Alfredo Cocchi came to New York from Italy on March 6, 1906. On Oct. 3, 1907, Maria Margar- ene, who had been betrothed to Cocchi in Italy, reached New York, and Oct, 4, 1907, they were married at Ellis Island by Father Gaspar Moretto, The young woman had no funds and the marriage on Bilis Island was neces- 'y in order to comply with the Im- | landing of persons likely to become public charges. Cocchi has two children, one born on Sept. 22, 1908, the other June 9, 1916, After his marriage he lived wich bis wife at No, 21 Great Jones Street, No. 65 Carmine Street, No, 632 East Eighth Street, Nos, 308 and 484 Am- sterdam Avenue, No. 102 West Eighty-third Street and No. 7 Man- hattan Street. The United States Government, «through the State Department and fat the request of Gov, Whitman, to- Way requested {he Itailan Govern- ment to delay court proceedings in Loccht's case. This is equivalent to @ request from the Government of the United States to the Government of Italy to drop court proceedings in order to allow the institution of ex- tradition proceedings, ONnvicT TELLS OF SEEING ys _ BODY IN SHOP. Mrs. Grace Humiston, the lawyer who found Ruth Cruger's body, turned over to the police to-day a letter she received from Stephen Smith of No. 187 Washington Street, who Is serv- tng a term in the penitentiary for robbery, Smith has a eriminal rée- ord und the detectives who know him say he is mentally irresponsible. In ‘his letter to Mrs, Humlston he Bays-he was in Cocehi's shop on the night of Feb, 18—the date of Ruth Cruger’s disappearance and saw Cocthi and a man named Tr ts now alleged to be in the City of Mexico, take a girl away in a taxtcab and that he saw what looked to him Hike @ body covered up in the back ‘room. Two days later, Smith writes, he delivered a message from Cocchi to Trease and later took several bags ‘full of dirt away from Cocchi's shop and dumped them in the East River, Detectives are checking up Smith's tale, Patrolman Thomas P. Garrigan of the Traffic Squad, questioned at Headquarters to-day, said that on or ‘about Feb. 20, after midnight, he saw @ man with a side car motorcycle pass Broadway and Manhattan Street several times, bound west, and that the side car wis loade ot some rubbish. The police to-day completed the search of cellars of premises which were occupied by Cocchi in his motor- cycle and bicycle repair business, Nothing of an incriminating nature | was discovered. Lieut. Funston of Inspector Fau- fot’s staff said to-day that he re galled a visit paid to Police Head- ter quarters by Helen Cruger, a si of Ruth Cruger, some time last Feb- ruary.
