MURDERERS CAUGHT. Slayers ot the State Trooper in the Reading Jail. Salvatore Garritto and Stefano Lesnicchi, the slayers of State Trooper Timothy Kelleher, are now safely in the Berks county jail. They were brought to Reading from Allentown and placed in sep arate cells Monday morning. The three hour's journey was made in a special trolley car under heavy guard. On the city out skirts the party was transferred to a patrol wagon and hustled to pris on. This precaution was taken to prevent the gathering of a big crowd and to avoid a possible dem onstration. Through an Italian interpreter the prisoners reiterated their previ ous story and confession. In addi tion to admitting that he adminis tered the knife thrust that killed Private Kelleher, Garritto confess ed that, seven years ago, he mur dered his rival in love at San Ste fano, province of Messina, Italy, for which his brother is now serving a 2 1 -year sentence. For this crime Garritto fled the country and came to America. Garritto told Matteo Alberta, one of the firm of Italian bankers, to draw what money he had coming to him from the Reading Railway company and, after taking out a small bill he owed, send the balance to his father iu Italy, as he would surely have to die. It was learned that the alleged murderers, after committing the crime, speut Sunday in Reading. That night, after hearing of the death of the trooper from their countrymen, and knowing that they were wanted, they left the city and slept in a field near the outskirts On Monday morning they started to walk, going first to Allentown, then to Nazareth, next to Easton and finally to Warwick, N. Y.. where they were captured. The two men were assaulting a woman on the outskirts of Reading when the woman's screams were heard by Kelleher, who was in cit izen's clothes. He went to her res cue, and was stabbed by Garritto. His dead body was found next morning. The men have confessed CRUSADE COMMANDARY.
