WAITING TO DIE.
Fuda, the Stamford Murderer, Now in
 the Steel Cage.

the Steel Cage. -..
 Bridgeport, Nov. 24.-Guisseppi Fuda, the convicted murderer of his young wife, Carmela Maria F'uda, was placed In the steel cage in the death house at the state prison at Wetherstield Satur- day morning. He will not leave there until he commences his walk to the ex- ecution chamber Fuda exhibited no emotion when the transfer was made. He was fully instructed in regard to the move and seemed to be satisfied. He gathered up what few belongings he had in his cell and was escorted to the cage by Warden Woodbridge. The lat ter Is held in high esteem by the con- demned man and to his interpreter he always speaks in praise of the warden and his treatment. Fuda will be exe- cuted between the hours of midnight and sunrise on the morning of Friday, December g.
 Imposino, the confederate of Fuda, who will suffer the death penalty on December 1T, will not know of the re- moval of Fuda until he ceases to pass his cell in the daily exercise. Imposino has evidenced desire to injure Fuda ever since the two were convicted He 0ioAiSo HI lAaC letSI IIlsdl Y llleL IS LO dlS on the gallows. He confidently expects that before the time set for his execu- tion a stay will be granted. He will probably be disappointed.
 Invitations for the execution of Fuda have been issued by Warden Wood bridge, under the law. There will be five newspapers from this county rep resented, the Standard being among them. Under the law Sheriff Hawley will be present, as we'll as three others whom the condemned man will select. Fuda has named one of these three and the other two have not been chosen yet. The newspapers of Hartford will also be represented as well as the prison di- rectors, warden, deputies and physi- cial 5. F'uda will be executed by the automatic gallows, which has already hurled three souls into eternity. The first was John Cronin on December 1S, '94, Casper Hartlein, December 8, '96, and Thomas F. Ripple of New Haven, on July 14 of the present year.
 F'uda Is resigned to his fate. When he was first taken to prison he was irl- structed as to the date of his execution, but he did not seem to understand it.. Every time the warden appeared the unfortunate fellow would think that his time had come and would make prepa- rations pitiful to behold. Finally he began to view the visits of Warden Woodbridge in a different light and warmly welcomed him. He speaks a little English and can make himself un- derstood. During the past month he has been in good spirits. His physical condition is also much better than 1t was when he was convicted. The Rev. E. A. Flannery, who has charge of the Italian Roman Catholic church in Hart ford, is his spiritual advisor. He visits Fuda frequently and holds long confer ences with him. Fuda spends most of his time reading the bible and other re- ligious books, printed in his native tongue.
 AS soon as Fuda was placed in the cage on Saturday, the death watch was set. It consists of ex-Deputy Sheriff James R. Graham of Hartford, who will look after the prisoner during the day and Francis Reid and Watson J. Ells- worth will be on guard at night. As soon as Fuda is executed Imposino will be taken from his cell and given quar- ters in the cage. The same watch will be maintained over him.
 Fuda and Imposino were both con- demned to die for the murder of Fuda's wife on the railroad tracks near Nor. walk last winter.
