In court yesterday morning, when the cases against the men arrested on complaint of Faleo were dismissed, the Italian exhibited every symptom of extreme terror, keeping close to the officers by whom he was surrounded. His testimony was evidently influenced by the fear he felt for the men who had been arrested, and was not nearly so strong as the story he told the police. At the station last night the officers were startled by hearing Faleo Avail out a heartrendering cry for "John," which was evidently the name of some friend. He besought "John" not to leave him, and shortly became so violent that he was locked in a cell. In a little while he became quiet, and expressed a desire to go back to Italy, where his mother lives. George Matthews, of 95th street and Ewing avenue, who deals in steamship tickets, was brought to the station but Faleo refused to purchase a ticket unless an officer could accompany him all the way to Italy.
