The Trial of Bonai.
WEEKS, HIS ACCOMPLISH, coNFEssEs

The trial of Charles A. BoBai for tn
murder of George M. Nichols began il
the Superior court at Bridgeport on Tues
day, before Judge Elmer. The jury &c
lected were:
G K. Keller of Greenwich,
| w. A. Benedict of Ridgedeld,
W. T. Barker of Dar1en,
| Frank Leonard OF Norwa1k.
w. b. Hill, d M; Prentice Fairfield.
M A. Lowden, f. W. Wilcox, Green
s W. Olmstead OF W lton,
H. l.. Wanzer of New Fairfield,
Is. A. Gilbert OF Weston.
On Tuesday David A. Weeks occupied
the witness box and made a full confes-
SION He also confessed other crimes
committed by them, including the rob-
berry of John Beach Nichols, in Old
Farms districr, TTumbull, and Mr. Bull,
well-tC-do resident of North Easton,
Penn, and many minor robberies
throughout New York State, and cleared
up the mystery of the shooting of Caro-
line Booth, an aged woman, in Botsford,
on April 10, for which James A. futile,
with whom Mrs Booth lived, was arrest
ed. Weeks alleged that neither he nor
Bonai did the shooting in Mrs Booths
case, but that the bullet was fired by
Tuttle 10 his efforts to shoot them. Ii
Weeks's story is believed by the Jury,
| there is no course for them to pursue but
to find the accused man guilty of murder
in the first degree. Throughout the en-
tire confession Bonai sat unmoved, but
watched his betrayer fxedly, only taking
his eyes from him when be had sugges-
ton to make to his counsel. Weeks's
account of the Daniels Farms affair was
corroboration of that given by Miss
Mary Nichols. "We had planned to rob
Mr. Nichols for some time" be said,

possessed considerable wealth. On the
night of July 81 we went to Daniels
Farms and hid in the barn till 1890,
when we prepared to rob the house. II
was raining heavily and everything ap-
peared favorable to the success of our
plane. Bonai cut out a window pane,
opened the sash, and crawled in. A lii
tie later he let me in through door. We
had not been inside long before we heard
a noise up stairs and hurried out again.
We saw Mr. Nichols and Miss Nichols
come down stairs. Mr. Nichols lighted
lantern and came out, too, but after look
ing about short time returned to the
house. We then went to the side door
and burst it in, TO find Mr. Nichols and
Miss Nichols in the middle Of the room.
Bonai cried out as we rushed in: Hold
up your hands! y Mr. Nichols responded
by striking him over the head with his
lantern, and Bonai Immediately fired two
1hots. Mr. Nichols fell to the floor, and
Miss Nichols stopped, but recovering ran
up stairs with Bonai in close pursuit. A
little later | heard two more shots, and
finally Bonai came down stairs with Miss
Nichols. We demanded money, and got
some, and Bonai in resi- onse to pleadings
from Mr. Nichols, secured some brandy
from a closet and gave it to him. We
hen occupied some time in searching the
house, and after getting something to
eat we left and walked back to Hunting
ton. On the way Bonai said: I'm sorry
we did this job. This is the first one l
ever saw killed. We threw our masks !
into brook and reached home about |
