GIVES HIMSELF UP TO POLICE Louis Manicino, Charged as Accomplice in Murder, is in Jail SLATTERY TO HASTEN THE CASE Upon the advice' of his father and his attarney, W. H. Gillespie, Louis Manicino, aged 19,1 of West Wyoming, charged with being an accomplice of Steve Martini and Tony Rizzo in the murder of Chief of Police Daley of that borough, and the subsequent murder of Chief Brennan of Wyoming, gave himself up yesterday at noon after hiding in the woods back of Maltby since Sunday night, July 28. It is belleved that father, who wad leased without bail by the district attorney and was a witness to the shooting of Chief Daley, kept his word as given to the county authorities and succeeded in persuading the son to give himself up. Young Manicino came out of the woods where he had been hiding on Tuesday night and made his way to the home of a friend at Pittston, after conferring with his father.

Yesterday morning he called at the office of Attorney Gillespie, who advised him to surrender himself; and who, notified County Detective Connolly and Chief of Police Newcomb of Pittston. In their company Manicino went to the district attorney's office and, after answering a number of questions, was taken to the county jail. On the strength of Manicinio's statement that he took no part in the actual shooting and was merely a bystander at the time, probable that his attorney will institute habeas corpus proceedings to obtain his release. With the surrender of Manicino and the commitment of Rizzo and Martini without bail, District Attorney Slattery is case to the next grand jury, probably on prepared to hasten the double I murder Aug. 19, and it is likely that the 'case will be brought up at the next term of criminal court.

Statements have been obtained from the three. men, Riszo denying that he was anywhere near the scene of the shooting. Opposed to this, however, is the statement of the others that Rizzo was at the scene of the shooting when Daley was killed. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for the office of Alderman LaBar on next Monday evening, when the three young Itallang will be arraigned. NEGRO USES RAZOR ON TROOP TRAIN Seriously cut withy razor, on the chest and arms, William Marshall, aged 31, of 116 Duffleld street, Brooklyn, N.

a porter on a troop train passing through the valley, was taken to City Hospital at 7:30 last evening. The police took into custody three other porters on the train charged by the military police with having taken part in the fight that occurred at Falls, Wyoming County, The porter charged with wielding the razor on Marshall gave his name as Robert Foley, aged 19, of Georgia. The others being held are J. Wilson, aged 37, and George Lynch, aged 26, both of Georgia. All the men concerned are colored.

Military police on the troop train informed the police that the razor fight ocourred while the train was being held on a siding near Falls, shortly before 6 o'clock. The porters engaged in a dice game, it is said, and Marshall won all the money, amounting to about $75. The fight followed and Foley drew the. razor, according to the milipolice.
