PRISON FOR LIFE
Michael CarpiuelJi Convicted of
 inc Murder of Two.

Criminal business in the superior court was resumed to-day. Michael Carpinelli was charged on two counts with the murder in the first degree of Antonio Geneva and Pasquale Capobianco. The affair took place in a room in Canal street during cele- bration of domestic nature. Car- pinelli broke loose, filled with hot liquor, it seems, and vowing ven- geance on one Bottichelli, he fired at him. Antonio Geneva was in the bed room with Bottichelli and got the bullet in the abdomen that was in- tended for the other man. He died almost instantly, but evidently Car plnelli was not aware of this. He fired again and this time struck Capobianco in the chest inflicting a wound six inches deep. Capobianco fell. He was taken to the hospital and on October he died. The as- sault took place on September 1. An eye witness of the occurrence was ar rested about the same time as Car pinelli and under law enacted by the last legislature was detained in jail since day or two following the murder of Geneva and was paid $2 day.
 Domenico Manfredi interpreted the accusation to-day to the accused man and directly after the interpreter had ceased speaking Carpinelli said he was guilty of murder in the second degree.
 Sentence was immediately passed and Carpinelli was committed to the state prison for the rest of his life.
 It is proposed to transfer Carpi- nelli to the state prison tomorrow, thus he will begin his sentence right away. Attorney Guilfoile represent ed Carpinelli and Attorney John ONeill, Bottichelli, the object of Carpinellis hatred.

ENGINEER ON TRIAL
Accident 10 New Haven Grays
 Special Recalled.

For the first time Waterbury has a railroad case on trial involving the loss of life. It is the case against Will Edward Fisher, the engineer of the train that collided with the reg ular passenger train on Hills siding from New Haven on the morning ot March ? last, killing William Nor ton, engineer of the regular and in- turing many of the New Haven Grays, who with Governor Woodruff and staff were returning to New Ha- ven from Waterbury where they had been to dinner at The Elton.
 Fisher was charged with the man. slaughter of Norton. He pleaded not guilty and was defended by Attorneys Elliott and Webb of New Haven. As sistant States Attorney Kellogg con- ducted the case for the state and Judge Howard J. Curtis of Stratforl of the superior court presided.
 Fisher was charged with gross negligence in not obeying orders tC keep on Hills siding. Before the jury was empanelled Assistant States At torney Kellogg asked three questions of them:
 Are any of you related to the ac. cused, or do you know him?
 Have any of you an interest in the railroad company?
 "Have any of you formed an opin- ion of the guilt or innocence of the accused that would require evidence to remover"
 There being no response it was taken for granted that no jurors had the slightest interest in the case. The jury being empanelled John w. Carr of Derby avenue, New Haven, was called to the stand
 MT Carr stated he is assistant SID. erintendent of the Berkshire and Naugatuck division of the New Ha. ven road and on March was chiei train dispatcher at New Haven. Nor. ton was engineer of the special which left Waterbury for New Haven short ly before 1 o'clock on the morning of March 2. Fishers orders were tc pass onto Hills siding and stay there until the regular passenger iron New Haven at 11:40 would pass hin on Hills siding, being due at Water bury at 12:49. MT Carr said that ht knew Fisher as first class engineei for two years on the Naugatuck di vision. He had no right whatever upon the main line until after tn, regular train had gone by. MT Carr then told how extra trains are sen OJIt and from, hjc ctotomapt it u,o,, lr seem almost impossible for an acci dent to occur except through a mis understanding of orders. The en gineer and conductor of the extri and the regular trains that are tt pass each other sign the orders afte reading them and before they are is sued.
 An order dated January 5, 1907 was introduced by the state showing | the difference in orders. This orde gave the engineer permission to rui to Naugatuck on special either ol the main line or over Hills siding Such an order meant that the engin ger was to steer clear of all schedul trains by ten minutes, and botl tracks were cleared for him. Counse for the defense concluded that sucl an order meant the engineer shoult use his own discretion in choosing track and MT Carr agreed with hin in this, adding that engineers ar, supplied with time tables and the, must conform to all the rules anC regulations of the road.
