of Syracuse, a frail, blond, discharged without honor soldier. For this week the Grand Jury will review a case which finds him charged with murder in the first degree. The victim was Helen Caputo, 32, a manicurist, of 104 Chestnut St. With police forces mobilized in a determined move to keep this case from going into the unsolved files, young Brookins set himself up for a quick knockoff by registering with a young woman at a downtown hotel just about 24 hours after he allegedly strangled and beat Miss Caputo to death. He was arrested less than 12 hours after her battered body was found in a lot off Leander Road in Lakedale, which is in the vicinity of Lake Avenue, Boxart Street and Cherry Road.

Brookins maintained an air of boredom as detectives questioned him in the early morning hours after his arrest and even when they took him to the scene of the crime. They drew from him sordid details of a four-day reign of terror in which he admitted attacking four women, one of whom required hospital treatment, before the fatal attack on the manicurist all In the same area. Half an hour after he killed Miss Caputo, according to his he hitched a ride in Lake Avenue, went to Charlotte for a lunch and then returned to the downtown section. At midnight he met another girl, checked into a hotel with her for a few hours and then took her by bus to a hotel in Syracuse. At 4 p.

a couple of hours after Miss Caputo's body was discovered by a housewife who was taking a short cut through the lot to a grocery, Brookins and the girl decided to return to Rochester. Subsequent investigation revealed that Brookins had been picked up by Sampson shore patrol men in Rochester a few days previously but released and that last summer he escaped prosecution when rarents of a girl he allegedly attacked at a Canandaigua Lake cottage -refused to press charges. Brookins had been in the Army from October 1942 to April 1944 when he was discharged without honor and rated 4-F. Ray mond, 16. ii Atlantic leet.
