Son MAin PHONE FUNERAL DUNIGAN DIRECTORS 2-1155 at Rogers Avenue De Montgomery Wm. Dunigan, Lie. Man Is Held In Queens Slaying Continued from Page ported, Ferrera ran into his own home and was found hiding behind a bureau on the porch.

Police said his clothing was blood-stained. The police research bureau said the stains were of dried human blood, but Ferrara said they were caused by wine and dirt. Ferrera's claim that he had been in bed by 8 p.m. Sunday, nearly four hours before the Pearson crime, was contradicted by his son, Leonardo, 23, of the same address, police said. The son, it was reported, said Ferrera was not yet in bed at 10 p.m.

Scores Questioned Sullivan said more than 100 detectives had been working on the case and that more than a score of persons had been questioned since a lunch wagon employe near the scene of crime said a man entered the place about the time wearing a blood shirt had the murder presumably took place Sunday night. Mrs. Pearson, who lived at 144-08 Liberty was on her way home from work at a nearby bakery when she was attacked while using a shortcut through the lot. Her skull was crushed and her neck was bruised and there were indications she had been criminally attacked. Ferrera is said to have a wife and daughter in Italy.

Further Report Awaited Sullivan said police are awaiting a more detailed report of the autopsy and also a report of examinations and tests made at the Police Department laboratory. It was said that Mrs. Pearson's husband, Arthur, is on his way home from an Oregon shipyard to take care of the four children. They are Evelyn, 18; Gordon, 14: Walter, 9 and Margaret, 4. Police have not yet found the murder weapon.

The wounds on Mrs. Pearson's skull make it appear that it was a heavy blunt instrument. Mrs. Pearson is the fourth woman beaten or strangled to death this year in Brooklyn or Queens. The other three cases are still listed in police records as unsolved.

The most recent killing was the brutal attack on 30-year-old Betty Fitleson, who was bludgeoned to death with a scantling as she lay in bed in 272 Lincoln Place apartment in the early morning of July 7. Her roommate, Alice Clarfield, 30, was also beaten, but recovered. The piece of wood had been picked up near the apartment where it had been discarded with other bits of waste lumber. Every penny of cash was taken from the apartment. On June 22 the body of Mrs.

Bridget Johnson, wife of Patrolman Theodore Johnson, was found in a clump of bushes near the Mill Basin Bridge, about 100 feet from the Belt Parkway. She had been strangled. Often Visited Cafes The only facts known that might to the apprehension of the killer were that Mrs. Johnson, who lived at 952 42d frequented cafes and received a dependency allotment from a man in the army not related to her. She had two children.

The third murder was the hammer killing of Mrs. Nahama Baranow, the wife of Samuel Baranow, a lawyer. She was beaten on the head Feb. 9, while in the elevator of the apartment house at 260 Ocean Parkway, where she lived. There were evidences of a furious struggle in the cage.

The blood -stained murder weapon was found in a package mail drop several days later. Neither her rings nor money was taken.

Stocks Steady After Decline Early Losses on War News Partly Regained Stocks were easier today and losses of fractions to a point or so developed in the main list before the market met much support. However, tone was steadier in late dealings, when some of the leaders were up from their lows. There was some selling on the war news, but it did not extend far, although volume ran ahead of Monday. Issues that sold off rather sharply following the Italian declaration included Chrysler, S.

Rubber, Aircraft, Bon Aluminum, Endicott F. E. Myers, all of which went down a point and more. Pepsi Cola dropped over a point in quite active dealings, but recovered virtually all of the loss. Steels sold off fractionally, but also steadied late the day.

Rails showed fractional losses spread over a wide number. Oils held fairly steady and non-ferrous metals were not greatly changed. New York Central was an active feature in the rail list. Bond Trading Light Trading in listed corporate bonds today was along comparatively quiet lines and most changes in the domestic list were confined to fractions. Among the railroad obligations losses gains were more or less evenly distributed.

Mixed and, trends were also apparent in corporates and utilities, but these groups were relatively dull. Third Avenue adjustment 55 were off fractionally, Argentine and Brazilian bonds showed firmness, gaining a point a few instances. Other foreign country obligations were without much feature and price changes were negligible. United States Gov. ernment bonds continued virtually unchanged in dull trading.

See Little Upturn In Civilian Goods Possible relaxation In war requirements of certain basic materials "does not necessarily" mean that there will be a widespread resumption of civilian goods manufacture, the magazine the Iron Age said today, "The much abused and little understood subject of civilian quirements has been undergoing a subtle but major alteration in its position in recent months," the magazine said. prospects for increased production of truly civilian items do not seem any brighter now than a year ago. But, now the obstacle is labor requirements and components, while a year ago the bottleneck was material. while it may be true that there may be a relaxation in war requirements of certain basic materials, it does not necessartiy follow that there will be widespread resumption of civilian goods manufacture."
