Murder suspect Joseph R. Leone in custody at the Jefferson County Jail, guarded by Deputies Raymond Pacific (left) and Gordon Barker.

Likewise for Joe Amedeo. “I would never have thought that he could do anything like that. I always felt that Joe was a very nice guy,” said Amedeo, who was about nineteen when his in-house neighbor was arrested.

The next day, Leone was back at work. For a while.

“His truck was running late,” said Ray Polett. “When we finally arrested Leone, he was in his truck delivering bread and other baked goods for his employer. Donoghue and I staked out his route and finally saw Leone pull up to a stop” at the Genter and Brenon Grocery in Brownville.

Leone was actually a passenger in the truck, learning a new route, he said. “As he got out of his truck, we jumped out and collared him and took him into custody without incident.” Described by Polett as “in pretty good shape, athletic,” and by the Watertown Times as a “slim, quiet, dark-complexioned brown-eyed man with thinning brown hair,” Leone was brought to the state police station outside Watertown, where he was subjected to “an intense interview.”

“He was not impressed, to put it mildly,” Polett said. “Leone was one of the coolest people I ever met. While I was giving it my best shot, he took a nickel out of his pocket and coolly balanced it on edge, looked at me and grinned, to show me he wasn’t shook up.”
