Another . important, though sub
rosa flKiuo In the'ltanlcrl kidnap
ing case of last December has
been assassinated in .. his own
doorynrd. probably polico said, be
cause be "talked too much."
Joseph Pcrconti, 36, slain by
shotgun killers shortly leforu last
midnight, is the man generally
believed to have given police in
formation on which they found
the kidnapers of 10-yeur-old Dlllv
Uanlcrl.: Ho was one of those
arrested with the kidnapers, and
when the case ngalnst him later
was dismissed, the understanding
wns that It was In consideration
of information which resulted in
'the conviction of two men for the
abduction. ;
Porconti had just put away his
automobile in the. garage at the
rear of his home last night when
two or ninre men from a cur
tained automobile discharged saw-ed-ofC
shotguns at him at close
range. Tbu two weapons later
were found 150 feet away.
Among those being sought to
day for the slaying wns Perconti's
brother, Tony, who wns one of
those charged with the actual kld-
nfintnir of the Ilnnlerl boy, but
who never was apprehended. Po
lice beliovo Tony may' have killed
his brother In tho belief that Joe
Perconti's story to officers had
involved him In the abduction.
