BU 92-61 SA AUGUST J. MICEK reviewed the records of the New York City Police Department for subject's name and aliases. Under the name STEFANO MAGADDINO the following record was found: MAGADDINO, age 30, 105 Roebling Street, Brooklyn, was arrested August 16, 1921, as a fugitive from justice (homicide - Avon, New Jersey). On September 16, 1921, he was delivered to the Asbury Park, New Jersey Police Department. He was arrested by Acting Detective Sergeant INNELLA, Main Office Division, arrest number 3080, 29th Precinct. The arrest took place in Grand Central Station. The homicide occurred June 30, 1921.

He said that the files and records of the office at Milan were destroyed during World War II. Apparently the original source for this information was reflected in these records and there would be no way of tracing the information back.
