The records of INS reflect that STEFANO MAGADDINO was held without bail by the New York City Police Department for 30 days, at the end of which time he was released due to the fact that there was not sufficient evidence to connect him with the crime; namely the murder of CAMILLO CAIZZO. The records of INS further reflect that on March 25, 1922, FONTANA was sentenced to life for the murder of CAIZZO.
