 He wept bitterly before going to bed last I night, but was quieter through the night. Ot
 fate the prisoner has expressed deep contri- I ton and repentance for his crime and his passionate spirit is wholly broken and sub- dued. Palladoni frequently asks for news rom his father and mother and the fact that no assurance Of forgiveness has come much embitters his few remaining hours. Father Leo's falthfulness in performing the last rites of the church have won for him the fuIIast confidence of the doomed man. In converaa- t1on yesterday the priest said: q consider that the crime was done upon the impulse of the moment. Palladoni is at times the nnost harmless and peaeeable man I have ever seen but he is such passionate, excitable person that the least irritation will cause him to Ay into uncomfortable anger. I think that it is shame to hang the man, because am con- Tinced that he did not go to the quarry to kill his brother. Let us hope that he will be an example to all. Tomorrow he will be no more; his soul will have gone before his al- mighty judge"
 At 9 o'clock last night he retired. Deputy Sherifs Driscon of Westport and Bolston of Stamford formed the death watch for the night. Soon after this Father Leo retired Mass was celebrated at o'clock this morn ing, followed by the sacrament and com munlon. Sheriff Clarkson has issued about t-SooSo 6Ys Father Leo and local priests will be in atten- dance until after the execution.
 Pallidoni's parents live at Ajaccio, a small village near the city of Caserta, Italy, the old capital of the kingdom of Naples His par ents, John and Annice, and three sisters, Conjesta, Marie and Hannah, live together in Ajaccio, while his brother Antonio is a rag ing lunatic in an asylum. Before he came to this country Palladoni was 8 laborer. He is now twenty-four years and four months old and had been in this country only a short time when the crime for which he is to hang o-day was committed.
