NAME WHEN OVER

It has lust been learned by the
local police that when Antonio
Pedals. charged with the murder
of Genaro Ciementi, went across
the border into Canada, that he
gave the name of Giuseppe Tag,
iio Fore to the Canadian author-
ities. ~
At the time he entered Canada
it was nece-ery for Pedule to
poet a check for $50 as a bond
that he was going to return to the
United- States. A1check for this
amount was received by Detec-
tive Bel-ream Martin Lengyel
from the Canadian authorities
yesterday. It will ‘be forwarded
to Padilla who is in the Bridge-
port Jail awaiting" trial. 1 1

recovery. and who are waiting to

How To The Line!
Those who care to r such" solace may bathe to their hes‘rt' s
content in the crocodile tears Wag so freely from the editorial
emcee of the Norwaik Hour.
It is‘ the fashion these days for sentiment to flow toward the
murderer rather than his victim.
It is the fashion these
enemy o1 society WHEN
victims.
There is a need for a little sterner stuff in the fibre oi the
American people, if governmentbis going to be anything but an
organized method of robbing tile governed.
The Hour may go so tar. as it likes in covering up anything
it chooses. Its sense of public duty may be, and doubtless is, so
dulled,“ that it forgets the business of a newspaper. It may for-
get, at times, that the businesii of a newspaper is to publish news
for sentiment to run toward the
«(8 CAUGHT rather than to his
business.
The Sentinel has sympathy with everybody in distress; and
particularly with those who, while innocent, suffer from the do-
ings of the guilty. It is especially sorry 1- the taxpayers of
Norwalk who cannot “aflord” to have good streets, enough
sewers, and other public necessities, but who must submit in be-
ing robbed year after year because the odiciais charged 11ith
carrying on the public’ I business are not on their jobs. 1 The
Sentinel is sorry for a community where, when crime is not only
charged but admitted, the head of the government says, “What
can I do about ill" and goes c! on his vacation. The Septinel
is doubly sorry for an Americanieity where such things can bap
pen without a spontaneous protest of public spirited citiztlns to
demand that somebody he responsibiie for honest conduct in
municipal afl’airt.‘
But this paper is not going to out its heart out with grief.
Its duty' is to tell its readers such facts as it can gather It is
the duty of citizen! to take notion. If the citizens are content
with conditions and desire ti) take no action that is their look-
out. If they can stand it, The Sentinel can-
