DREDGE’S GRUESOME FIND

MOTOR-CAR AND DEAD DRIVER FOUND MYSTERY SOLVED A dredge deepening tlie Hudson off the foot of Gansevoort Street pulled an automobile to the surface recently and as the car came in view the body of a man floated to the top. It was identified later as the body of Joseph Sanginetti, 31 years old, a cement worker, of 114 Nineteenth Street Union City, New Jersey. According to his cousin, Mrs. Anna Sequeri, with whom he lived. Sangiuetti drove off in his sedan on the afternoon of August 3. When he failed to return she notified the Union City police and they asked Manhattan headquarters to search for him. Sanginetti had never been in trouble of any sort, said Deputy-Chief Angelo Stanton, of Union City. Detectives learned, he added, that he had been ill the habit of dining in Manhattan spaghetti restaurants and they expressed the opinion that Sanginetti, after one of his repasts had mistaken his way to the Twenty-third Street ferries and driven off a pier head. An elevated automobile roadway is under construction near Gansevoort Street and at the thoroughfare traffic is detoured east. Detectives expressed the belief that Sanginetti failed <o see the stop light at the end of the street and went over a twelve-inch bulkhead into the water. Mrs. Sequeri identified the body, she was reached when police traced the licence plate of the sedan.
