Nicodemo' lmapassino Con-
fesses And SaysIHe Saw
Fuda Kill His Wife
Carniela in: East
Norwalk.
Fuda Intimates That lmapassino Killed the
Woman, but lmapassino’s Statem in
Believed to be True.
As stated in Saturday’s GAZETTE,
Guesseppi Fuda, the husband of Car-
mela Fuda, the murdered Italian wo-
man was arrested in New York on Sat-
urday.
Sunday morning Chief Vollmer and
Officer Walter Hall went to ‘New York
with the necessary papers and Fuda
was crmmitted to the Tombs to await
a requisition from the Governor of Con-
nesticut. ,
About. 11 o’clock Sunday night-a tele-
phone message was received by Chief
Vollmer from Certain of Detectives
O’Brien. of New York, informing him
that an Italian named Micademo Ima-
passino, who answered the description
of Fuda’s companion on the night of
the murder,had stated to friends inNew
York that he had accompanied Fuda
and his wife from Stamford. last Wed-
! erday night, as far as the white bridge
and had heard Mrs. Fnda scream that
her husband was killing her. When
Fuda returned alone to the bridge he
had accused him of murdering his wife,
but Fuda denied the charge saying that
his wife had goneaway. and that he and
Fuda then returned to Stamford. Cap-
tain O'Brien also notified Chief Vollmer
that Imapassino was on his way to Can-
ada, to get beyond the reach of the
police.
Upon receipt of this information Chief
Vo'lmer dispatched Oflicer Pennington
to the home of Operator Darin, who re-
turned with him to the telegraph office,
where the Chief sent telegrams to the
relics of Buffalo and Niagara Falls de-
scribing Imapassino and requesting
that they arrest. him and hold him for
murder until he could arrive.
At 2 o’clock Monday morning Officer
Pennington received another telephone
lx't‘srttge from Captain O’Brien stating
that Imapassino had gone by the Le-
l-igh Valley road and was due to arrive
at Buffalo at 6 and Niagara Falls at 7.
(‘ificer Pennington again“ secured the
servicrs of Operator Dann and the time
of arrival of the train was telegraphed
to Buffalo and Niagara.
About 9 o’clock Monday morning
Chief Vollmer received a telegram
from the Chief of Police of Niagara
Falls saying that the train had arrived
on time and that Imapassimo had been
arrested and removed from the train at
Buffalo.
This telegram was followed soon after
by a message from the Chief of Police
of Buffalo, stating that Imapassino had
been arrested there and to come at
cnce with the necessary papers.
The Chief at once had the necessary
papers prepared and left for Buffalo on
the 1:11 o’clock train, where he will
have Imapassino held until he can get
the necessary requisition to bring. him
back to South Norwalk.
When Fuda was arrested in New York
he had a number of fresh scratches on
his_face and neck which were plainly
inVisible and looked as though they
had been inflicted by finger nails.
When this imformation was received
word was despatehed to Professor
Moses C. White of Yale college, and on
Monday came he to South Norwalk and
removed the murdered womans finger
nails, a piece of flesh from the wound
in the neck and a quanity of hair from
ler head. He then visited Police
Headquarters where he was given the
hatchet with the strands of hair clinging
to the blood upon the blade, which was
found near the scene of the murder.
Professor White returned to Yale,
where he will make a microscopic ex.
amination cf the murdered woman’s
nails to ascertain if the skin scratched
from Fuda’s face can be found under
them. He will also examine micro-
scopically the flesh and hair taken from
the dead woman’s head and compare
them With the particles clinging to the
bloody hatchet.
If the scratches on Fuda’s face were
made by the woman’s nails, the micro-
* scope will reveal tht» ; .n'icns of cuticle

dence already wound about. the husband

_After Fuda was arrested in New York
his shoes were removed and brought to
South Norwalk and taken to the scene
of the murder, where they were fitted
into the footprints in the snow made by
the murderer. They fitted perfectly.
',1he same broad toe and peculiar heel.
After Fuda’s flight from Stamford, a
coat covered with blood stains was
found and identified as belonging to
him. It is a square cut sack coat simi-
lar to the one described by Conductor
Wilmott of the Tramway car upon
which Fuda and his accomplice rode
from East Norwalk to Monroe street on
the night of the murder.
The hatchet with which the crime
was committed, has also been identified
as being the property of Fuda and one
that he was seen to sharpen on the day
of the murder.
In addition to all of the above evi-
dence, Brakeman Russell has identified
huda as one of the Italians who accom-
panied the dead girl on the train from
Stsmfardthe night the crime was com-
mitted. _
As_ soon as Chief Vollmer succeeds in
setting Imapassino committed at Buf-
falo, he wrll return and get the neces-
sary extradition papers signed by Gov-
ernor Cooke which he will present to
Governor Black at Albany, and after
their acceptance will bring Fuda and
Imapassino to South Norwalk, where a
hearing will be held. It. will probably
be Friday or Saturday before the‘ men
can be gotten here.

Mr. Valentine isa well known resi-
dent of Darien. and is the brother-in-
law of George B. Edwards, the Wash-
ington correspondent of the Hartford
Courant.
Fuda was seen in the Tombs Mon-
day and, through an interpreter, told
all that he says he knows about the
murder of his wife. Fuda—he inststs
that his name is Fuda and not Futi—is
about 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighs about
150 pounds, and has rat-her short black
hair, large black eyes. and a. black
mustache. The expression of his face
is rather grave, and when speaking he
looks you rquarelv in the eye. His
manner is frank and open and he speaks
with great force and occasionally.
brusqueness. As nearly as the some-
what. limited English of the interpreter
could translate it, this is ‘what Fuda
said:
‘-‘I have been told that my wife has
been murdered and that I am charged
with the murder. 1 did not commit the
murder, but I think I. know who may
have doneit. There’s a. man, Micad-
emo Imapassino, who lives with iiigi
Macriin Stamford near where. I live.
About 3 o’clock Wednesday afternoon
Micademo came to my house and 'said:
“ ‘Joe. lend me your coat, your shirt,
your pants, and your shoes and your
hatchet.’
“I asked him what he
with them, and he saw:
“ ‘That’s my business.”
wanted to do
Then he shrugged his shoulders and,
laughed. I thought he was up to some.
little trick, and as he was my friend, I
lent him the clothes, and he left my
house. Soon after I went out back of
my house to sharpen the hatchet that
Micademo wanted to borrow. I got the
hatchet. of Luigi Maori, an] a short
time after I got it the handle broke. I
told Luigi the hatchet was no good,
and he said he’d put; in a longer and
better handle for me, so I thought I’d
sharpen it before it was fixed and be-
fore Micademo took it When I had
sharpened the hatchet I took it to
Luigi Macri to have the new handle
put in, and told him Micademo wanted
to borrow it. I did not see the hatchet
again, and I suppose Micademo got it.
My wife was around home all day,
and we had supper together. Some
time after 8 o’clock I went to bed and
was soon asleep, My wife did not go
to bed so early. I cannot say whether
she was in the house when I went to
bed or at the house of some of the
neighbors. There was a light burning
in the bedroom when I went to sleep.
I awoke about 3 o’clock Thursday morn-
ing, and, finding that my wife had not
come to bed, I got up to see where she
was. I could not find her anywhere in
the house. but I did find the clothes I
had lent Micademo hanging in the bed-
room. I thought that was strange, and
somehow I concluded that my wife had
run away with him.
“All the money I earned I gave to
my wife. I knew that she had given
some of it to Micademo. “She had $26
that I gave her in apurse and $20 sewed
in her collar. When it grew light I got
up and made ready to go to New York
in search of my wife. I took some of
my things into the house of Luig
Maori as well as the clothes Micademo
had borrowed. I told Luigi where I
was going, and told him if he heard
from Carmela to write‘to me. and .I
gave him my address. If I had mur-
dered my wife I wouldn’t have been
likely to tell any one where I was go-
ing, would I? I would have kept that
to myself.
“I now believe Micademo got my
wife to go away with him. as if they
were going to elope together. To
make the thing seem more real, he told
her he would wear my clothes, so that
folks would think she was going with
me. I believe he took her away for
the 'sole purposeifof robbing her and
killing her. He knew she always had
all my money. .Borrowed my clothes
so that any one who saw him might
think he was I. He did this knowing
he was going to kill my Carmela and
that I might be mistaken for him. the
murderer. Ah, Micademo is worse than
a murderer I But I am innocent. and
it will be proven so. I know it. I have
been told some one saw me on a train
after 9 o’clock.Wednesday night. That
is a lie. I was’at home asleep. If they
find Micademo let them dress him up
in my clothes and stand him beside me,
and then let them say which one they
saw on the train. That’s what I want.
I‘ve told all I know. No, I haven’t
I want to say that I never said my wife
got up out of bed at 3 o’clock Thursday
morning and that she didn’t some back.
I said I woke up about 3 o’clock Thurs-
day morning and found that she hadn’t
yet come to bed. That’s all. '
Chief of Police William Vollmer ar-
rived in South Norwalk from Buffalo
Wednesday morning, having had
Imapassino committed for murder prior
to leaving that city.
The Chief speaks in the highest terms
of his reception at Buffalo by the Super-
intendent of police and his officers. He.
will return to Buffalo and bring Imapas-
sino to South Norwalk as soon as the
necessary requisition papers are pre-
pared.
When Imapassino was arrested he
stoutly denied his identity or that he
had ever been in Stamford or South
Norwalk. When police headquarters
were reached, however, and he was
searched, letters addressed to him at
Stamford were found upon his person,
and he broke down and made a confes-
sion.
Imapassino in his confession says:
There was a murder committed all
right he said. I did not murder Mrs.
Fuda, but her husband did. Mrs.lFuda
had stolen $26 of her husband’s money
and had given it to her lover. This
angered Fuda as well as aroused his
jealousy, and be determined to kill the
woman. Fuda his wife, and myself
left Stamford on the night of February
17 and went to East Norwalk, When
we left the train we walked along the
tracks for about a quarter of a. mile un-
til we came to a lonely spot. There
Fuda attacked his wife with the hatchet,
I didn’t want to see her murdered, and
I tried to reinonstrate with Fuda; but
he was bound to kill her, and he did.
I just saw the woman struck with the
hatchet three or four times. She was
also stabbed in in the breast.
Giuseppe Fuda, who is in the Tombs
charged with the murder of his wife,

murder, has an uncle, an aunt. and sev-
eral cousins living at 112 and at 122
Mulberry street.
Imapassino went to New York on
Sunday, and visited his relations in
Mulberry street before hurrying away
to Canada, where he hoped to finda
place of refuge. It was known in Mul-
berry street that Imapassino, before
leaving New York, had told something
of the murder, and had implicated
Fuda. Exactly what he did say was
not. known until Tuesday, when his
aunt, Giulitto Filipo. who lives at 122
Mulberry street. told Imapassino’s story
to a reporter. Here is what she said:
“Nicodemo. when we asked him to
stay with us, said he could not, since.
if he did, he feared he would be arrest-
ed. I asked him why. He said that
some persons had said that he was on
the train with Giuseppe Ends. and his
wife the night the latter was murdered.
I had heard of the murder and asked
Nicodemo if he knew anything about it.
He said he did. He said that, on Wed-
nesday evening about 8 o’clock, he met
Fuda, near where the latter lived, and
to him Fuda said:
“ ‘Nicodemo, here is a dollar. Come
with me and Carmela to the station and
buy, for yourself, for her, and for me,
three tickets to South Norwalk. I
want to go there to show Carmelaa
factory, where I can get work. She
will go the more readily if youmome
along.’ I thought the request strange,
but I took the money, went with them
to the Stamford station, bought tne
tickets, and went to Eist: Norwalk.
After we got to East Norwalk we walked
along, by the track to a place where
there was a cut. over which was a bridge.
When we got there Fuda said:
“ ‘Nicodemo. you wait on the bridge
whileItake Carmela over to see the
factory.’ Fuda and his wife then
walked along the embank ment for a
short distance and when disappeared
down toward the track. I saw nothing
after that, but in a little while I heard
Carmela scream. Shortly, after that
Fuda jorned me on the bridge saying:
“ ‘Come on; let’s go home. I’ve fin-
ished her.’ Then we took a trolley
back to South Norwalk, and from there
we took the train back to Stamford.”
When Mrs. Filipo had finished this
story, the reporter, in company with
an interpreter, visited Fuda. in the
Tombs. Imapassino’s tale Was repeated
to him, and he was asked What he had
to say. He replied: 7
“All I know of the murder I told yes-
terday. I can say no more,~ except to
say that Imapassino’s story is a tie. He
borrowed my clothes and my hatchet
on Wednesday afternoon, and when I
woke up in the middle of the night I
found that my wife had not been to
a corner of the room. I could not

have been with Nicodemo as he says,
because I was asleep in my house.”
“Can you prove that you were asleep
in your house at the time Imapassino
says you were on your way to East-
Norwalk with him and your wife?”
Fuda was asked.
"I don’t see how I can.
no one else in the room.”
“Had Imapassino any mo'iye for kill-
ing yourvwife ?”
“None that I know of, save to get
the money she had. When she left the
house she took all the money I had,
with the exception of 70 cents. She
took 826. .
“Didn’t you say yesterday that she
had $20 besides that. sewed up in the
collar of her jacket ?”
“No, you misunderstood the inter-
preter. I said she‘ had about $20 in
jevelry in her purse which may have
been tied around her neck.’
“Do you believe Imapassino killed
your wife ?”
“How can I say, I did not see him. I
would not say that a man did a thing
like that, just to get- him in trouble,
unless I knew for sure.
“Was Imapassino intimate with your
wife ?” '
“She was intimate with many men.
She would often stay away until late at
night, but never all night.”
“Were you jealous of her ?”
"‘No, so long as she did what she.
wanted to, why should I find fault?
We lived together ti 6 years and never
had any trouble. Vhy should I be
jealous now ?”
“Did you care for her ?”
“How could I care for her much ? I
should have probably sent her back to
Italy when I got money.”
The police say that they know Fuda,
in company with a. man who answers the
description of the tall man in the case,
went to a. gun-smith’s in Stamford on
Wednesday morning with a pistol which
he wanted repaired. He asked to have
the pistol back early that evening. It
could not be finished and, unknown to
the police, the tall man got the pistol
on Saturday morning. Fuda was asked
about this yesterday. He said:
“That is not true. I never had a pis-
tol and Would not know how to use one.
I was playing cards in a saloon in Stam-
ford all Wedneaday morning.”
When asked if he knew any man
answering the description of the tall
man, Fuda said there were many in
Stamford that would answer that de-
scription, but he could specify no one
in particular. When asked if he had a.
lawyer, Fuda said some of his friends
were trying to get a lawyer for him.
but he said he had no money. The $26
h1s wife took, he says, is all the money
he had and his friends haven’t much,
so he doesn’t know whether he can get
a lawyer or not.

Death of Archbishop Grca.
ST. PAUL, Feb. .23.—The Venerable
Archbishop Grace, who has been ill for
home time, died today at St. Jacob’s hos-
pital. _ . p .
number of guests were present from~
in my stomach, and for more than six
weeks I passed quantities of blood. If I
caught cold or ate anything that did not
agree with me, I was forced to leave my
work, completely. knocked out. I would
go home and to bed and could not get
warm, no matter how many clothes were
piled on me. I ran down from 175 to 153
pounds. Doctors afforded me no relief
whatever. At last, my wife, noticing the _
Puritana. advertisements in the papers,
consulted friends and was advised to‘tr‘y
it. I began using it and can truthfully
say it is the only thing that ever touched-
my case. From the start, almost, I be-
gan to feel relief, and said to my Wife:
‘We have a. good thing here!’ I cheer-
tully give my testimony in the hope that
others may benefit from the use of this
wonderful discovery." ‘
