Police Had Faith in Him Says Cocchi
Alfredo Cocchi confessed to murdering Ruth Cruger a New York high student. He told Italian authorities that police made a perfunctory shop search where the body lay and that an officer said his neighborhood reputation justified a quick, empty search. He feared arrest and sought passage to Italy using a false name Astilloga. The Swann cable notes inconsistent man on duty at the Fourth Branch on February 15. The grand jury in the Cruger case dismissed perjury charges against Lt William Browne for lack of evidence.
