the FOUR THE DAILY NEWS, PASSAIC, N. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1930 PASSAIC 2-6000 Rocco Ursino Admits He's I His Own "Bandit" Story Of Friday Night's Attack By Gunmen In Wood -Ridge A Hoax--Fired Shots Into. His Car In Order To Obtain Sympathy From Family Rocco Ursino, twenty-two, of 229. Boiling Rutherford, confessed late yesterday to Bergen he riddled his Pord sedan with shotgun slugs and retracted the story he told police of being who opened fire on him from an automobile. Hoax Is Discovered Ursino confessed -to perpetrating the hoax after Lieutenant Nathan Allyn confronted him with facts that he was unable to explain.

He admitted that he fired the shots in an effort to create sympathy in the hearts of his relatives, who have chided him lately because he was out of work. The youth, who is married and the father of fifteen-months-old daughter, reported to WoodRidge police Saturday morning that he had been attacked by gangsters on Anderson Avenue, in that borough, while on his way home from bowling alleys at Ridge Road and Terrace Avenue. He said the gunmen forced his car to the curb and opened fire with shotguns and revolvers, shattering the windows, but miracuously missing him. Police were at first inclined to believe the young man's story and began an Immediate investigation. No Glass In Roadway Lieutenant Allyn was assigned to the case and pushed his investigation steadily for more than sixty Springs Avenue, East County detectives that early Saturday morning, ambushed by gunmen hours.

Two important facts lead him to belleve finally, that Ursino was not telling the truth. There WAS no trace of glass on the road: where the alleged shooting occurred and no one heard the shots although Anderson Avenue is in densely populated neighborhood. Confronted with these facts, Ursino had trouble in sticking to his story and finally confessed that he had shot up the car in his own garage while his family was away. He then drove the car to police headquarters where he told the fanciful tale of being ambushed by gunmen. He said that members of his famfly had been nagging him of late because he is out of work.

By having them believe an attempt was made on his life, he hoped to soften their hearts toward him and win their sympathy. The young man admitted he had been drinking when the brilliant idea presented itself to his befuddled mind. Lieutenant: Allyn, belleving Ursino has been sufficiently punished by having his foolish act exposed, will not prefer charges against him. History Of The Lodi Township Case Investigated By Senate HACKENSACK. Today.

The rather commonplace civic prodect of a small North Jersey municipality brought with it court and Legislative Inquiries which thvolved officials high in New Jersey's public life, The entire matter centered about the construction by Lodi Township of a sewerage system. But even before the project was completed, into the circumstances which rounded the financing of the 1m- provement were injected the names of State Senator Ralph W. Chandless, Bergen: State Treasurer Albert C. Middleton and State Comptroller John McCutcheon. All of then were called as witnesses before the Legislative Audit and Survey Commission, the Senate's Committee on Judiciary and Commisstoner: Harold A.

Price, who conducted the Supreme Court inquiry, Chandless Fee Cuestioned The township's hitherto unmarketable sewer bonds were purchased by the Little Ferry National Bank with a state deposit of $200,000, obtained through the Instrumentality of Senator Chandless. Chandless, leader of a powerful RepubBean organization in Bergen County, claimed he represented the contractors on the sewer work who had not been compensated until the bonds were marketed. He recalved a fee of $10,000 from the contractors. Receipt of the fee and its disposal by Senator Chandless conatituted a most bitterly disputed phase of the case. Stories of the placing of the State, deposit and the payment to Chandless of the $10,000.

John Borg, publisher and the Charles Little Ferry Rosenberg, Bank's chairman board of directors, was indicted on charges of conspiracy to defraud the State. The basis of the indictment was that they conspired. to withhold re-payment to the State of the 8300.000 when Middleton issued draft for its withdrawal. MeCuteheon Assurance Rosenberg claims McCutcheon assured him the deposit would remain for three years, but the State Comptroller denied there was any agreement. Middleton issued the withdrawal draft when there brought to his attention the exlatence of contract between the township and the bank stipulating the deposit was to remain for three-year period, or until the bonds were disposed of by the bank.

Chandless refused to discuss the disposition of his $10,000 in the Supreme Court inquiry, but told in detail its distribution when he appeared before the Senate's Committee on Judiciary last week. The committee previously had been authorized by the Senate to ascertain whether Chandless connection with the case was consistent with his duttes member of the Legisiature and to recommend what disposition should be made of the matter. Because of his refusal, Justice Charles W. Parker ordered Chandless be taken into custody. A writ of attachment was, served upon him and he immediately sued out writ of habens corpus in the Court of Chancery.

Vice- ChancelTor John J. Fallon held the instrument of the Supreme Court insutticlent and dismissed the Senator. A long report of the inquiry was written by Commissioner Price and it' constituted the case upon which the Senatorial committee conducted its inquiry. Price raised the question as to whether the money was paid Chandless as a fee or whether it WAS "bonus" for. obtaining the State deposit.

He recommended the matter be submitted to the The commisstoner's, question was based on testimony that $10,000 fee and the $1,800 represented to have been paid to J. Fred Bratt, formerly counsel for the municipality, aggregated the exact total of damnages sought by the contractors from the township. The damages were paid by the municipality. but the checks were turned over to Chandless and Bratt. 'The point then was raised as to whether Chandless represented the Frizzell Is Complimented By West Siders Relief Expressed Zoning And Planting Commission Is A Good One- -Objection To Changing Park Name Mayor Harold R.

Politicians To Talk Fernandez stated that the commission, as 8 whole, is excepwell-fitted for the work at hand, but added that it is a bit top-heavy, with financial men and engineers. The president announced that a number of county and local candidates, both Democrats and Republicans, have accepted the associaton's invitation to be present and at a political meeting next Tuesday night, at the fire house. R.

Jackson, whose father donated the land upon which Sunset Park is located, was present at last night's meeting to protest against the proposed changing of the name of the park. to Memorial Park.

Chandless told the Senatorial committee that of the $10,000, he kept $5,500 and turned over to his law partner $4,500. He submitted cancelled checks to substantiate his accounting of the money, but refused to produce the bank records of his partner for examinaition by the committee, setting forth he was appearing in his own behalf no one else. Investigation of the conduct of a member of the State Legislature has been rare in New Jersey's history. Under the procedure, the Judiciary Committee can recommend either that Senator Chandless be placed on trial by the Senate: or that he be cleared of any charges. To pince member co trial, the Senate has to pass a resolution by a majority of all members, cleven in this case.
