| Other Court Notes.
In the superior court, criminal side,
yesterday afternoon Judge Shumway
sentenced Guiseppi Gandini, the MUIR
derer of Peter Coquino, at Branford, on
February ~ last to be hanged on Sep
TENDER 20 before sunrise at the state
prison at Wethersf1eld. In reply to
the usual question if he had anything
to say why sentence Of death should
not be pronounced upon him, Gandini
said:
Il killed the man, but not with mall
| ice. / wish to thank my lawyers for
what they have DONE"
Attorney Fox for Gandini gave notice
that he had filed an appeal.
Israel Bofird of Meriden pleaded
| guilty to the charge of perjury in the
case of the state against Galovitz, who
was convicted of assault on minor
/ female. The sentence was six months
in the county Jail.
| ELEVEN JURYMEN SECURED.
The drawing of jury to try the case
of DR.. Elijah A. Bond was begun in
the superior court yesterday afternoon.
Eleven men We're accepted, and at 4:30
the panel was exhausted with one man
yet to be drawn. State Attorney Will
liams proposed when the panel was ex-
hausted that another panel be drawn
and the selection of a jury be contin-
ued to-day. Judge Shumway, however,
stated that he had some doubts as to
the propriety of excusing the jurymen
already accepted before they had been
sworn and said that since there was
only one man yet to be accepted to
make up the twelve required it seemed
that this one might be secured by taxi
ing talesmen from the street and fin
ishing the make up of the jury yester-
day afternoon The sheriff was ac-
cordingly directed to go out and sum-
mon one talesman. He did so and re-
turned in few minutes with Michael
Farrell, constable of Mt. Carmel. He
was excused by the state attorney, the
defense offering no examination as the
defense had exhausted it's challenges.
The sheriff was then directed to bring
in another talesman and brought in
George Phelps of this city. Mr.. Phelps
evidently did not care to serve and
stated in answer to a question by Mr..
Williams that he was prejudiced in
the case. He was excused by the
court. Judge Shumway then ordered
that an extra panel of three men be
summoned for this morning when the
twelfth man Of the Jury will be secured.
Court then adjourned until 10 O'clock
this morning. Attorney w. c. Case is
counsel for DR.. Bond.
Superior Court-Civfl Side--Judge Elmer.
In the superior court before Judge
Elmer yesterday morning, Attorney
Morehouse made application for an or
der allowing James English, receiver,
to continue the business of F. M.
Brown & Co. The order was granted.
The hearing in damages in the case
of Christopher Mohan against Godfrey
Grenier and Jesse Mcintyre to recover
$4,000 damages, occupied the remainder
of the day and was not ended when
court adjourned. The plaintiff appears
in two capacities, in his individual ca
pacity and as administrator. This is
the case which grows out of the death
of two people nearly two years ago by
the falling in of house on Greenwich
avenue. The defendant, Grenier, took
contract to increase the size of the
cellar under the house ana to do other
work about the foundations which
would admit of the erection of an ad-
dition. He sublet the mason work to
one John Mcintyre. Through the al
legged care1essness of the latter the house
fell from the piling on which 1t had
been raised and killed the plaintiff S
wife and mother. Mcintyre was con-
victed Of manslaughter.
THE UNITED STATES COURT.
The spring term of the United States
district court, civil side, Judge Town
send, convened in this city yesterday.

cases.
