Cresci Shot With .38 Gun in Pittsfield Murder Trial
Pittsfield July 2 Gun experts led by Captain Proctor of Boston identified the bullet fragment from Vincenzo Cresci as a .38 and linked its grooves to the gun taken from defendant Patrella or another specific make. Witnesses placed Patrella and Napolitano near Cresci’s body on March 25 1915. The Commonwealth rested at noon as Napolitano testified denying guilt and the defense challenged weather descriptions. The case was expected to go to the jury tomorrow night or Friday morning.
