Police Comb Brooklyn for Alleged Killer. '''Bruinaldo, Wanted Here for Slaying of Man. Thought to be in Hiding.''' After a hurried search of the Brooklyn slums and two subsequent all-night vigils on East Twelfth Street, Manhattan, a corps of detectives from Jersey City police headquarters supplemented by New York policeman are still planted about the home of Ralph Bruinaldo of 329 East Twelfth Street, known as "Joe the wop," who is wanted here for the murder Saturday night of Felix Suzczesny, 39, of 160 Steuben Street. Felix and Andrew Zuilkowski, 50, 160 Steuben Street, were stabbed by the Italian during a drunken brawl in front of their homes following an argument about who should buy their drinks. Andrew, who is suffering from a knife wound over his heart was said [to be] at the City Hospital last night recovering. Felix died there at 3:03 yesterday morning of knife wounds in his groin and over his heart. Besides watching the fugitive's home for his possible return, the policemen are searching a number of places he was reputed to frequent. The body of the dead Pole was removed yesterday morning from the hospital to Blacker's Morgue at 416 Jackson Avenue, but was claimed later in the day by the dead man's wife, Mrs. Klara Suzczesny. Notes: Ralph Bruinaldo or "Joe the Wop" were aliases for Ralph Grimaldi, as was determined at his arrest and subsequent trial. The man identified as "Felix Suzczesny" is Feliks Szczęsny, the paper spelled his name phonetically.
