which was drowned Saturday on North Whittlesey avenue and was thought to have been mad was not afflicted with rabies according to the laboratory renorf a copy of which was received here by the police today The analysis showed a negative report on rabies but in a pamphlet which accompanied the report the state health board pointed out that too much weight should not be attached to a negative laboratory report as sometimes a negative report results from the inability of the au thorltie to aecure positive findings because the dog In question may have been killed too earlv for the rabies to develop sufficiently Ban Articmiy Colored Macaroni The pure food and drug act Investigators were in Wallingford today to discover whether or not any of (he called artificially colored macaroni ha

before the Cheshire authorities and explain his hasty departure from the scene of the collision In which Miss Margaret Lane of New Rochelle waa Injured while her two companions a woman and a four year old girl escaped unharmed According to the occupants of the coupe who told their story to the Cheshire authorities last night Decker's truck collided with the Chevrolet and almost tamed It upside down

the murder of DeMolino with the crime Esposito has Three new angles on the Dixie Kid murder have developed over the week-end The first and most important is the fact that a bullet corresponding to tbe 32 calibre bullets which snuffed out the Kid's life here two weeks ago has been found in a tree not far from the spot where the shooting is supposed to have taken place This bullet The Journal learned today was handed in to police headquarters by the men who found it and the office has been advised of the fact The finding of the bullet only clinches The contention that the killing took place in Wallingford despite expressed beliefs of the state constabulary that the Kid waa killed elsewhere and his body dumped out here The second evert was the visit here over Sunday of the Kid's widow and his uncle and foster father who came into town quietly Sunday noon Inspected the lane where tbe Kid was killed gazed on the spot on North street where his lifeless body was abandoned alongside the road and departed just as quietly for New Haven They spoke with three people here but none of them will talk about the visit of the dead relatives The third development was the announcement today by Attorney Dominic Celotto of New Haven couneel for Tony Esposito following bis return from Providence 1 where he spent two days running down clues to protect hie client who is held In New Haven jail in connection with the Dixie murder under orders from Coroner Mix That he has come Into possession of facts which he Insists will absolve his client absolutely from all connection with the murder was the contention today of Attorney Celotto What the nature of the facts are Attorney Celotto would not say although it Is believed that he secured evidence that Esposito had not even the remotest connection In- alias the "Dixie On the other hand the state police are certain that he was the last one seen with DeMolino before the latter met his death at the hands of persons commonly thought to be bootleggers Police also assert that Esposito has not satisfactorily explained his whereabouts for the four hours preceding the murder It Is likely that his attorney has found sufficient evidence which will reveal without a doubt the activities of Esposito during those four hours Guardsmen to Have Practice The company of local guardsmen will leave the borough Sunday for East Haven They will make a stay of two days for the purpose of rifle range practice Captain Bernard Lindauer ha issued a call for all mmebers of the company to be present Saturdey morning prepared to leave Local Violinist Is
