OUT OF PRISON
Man Who Has Served 13 Months
 For CompIicity in Murder.

Sabino Perriello, who was sen- fenced to not less than one year and not more than ten for complicty with Rocco Compliance in the murder of Angelo Solomita has been released from prison after being confined one year and three months. Capobianco is still in detention he having first been sentenced to the limit for cap ital crimes and 1t was subsequently changed to Imprisonment for life Capobianco, 1t seems, did not tell the truth about the case until he was asked if he had anything to say why the court, Judge Silas A. Robinson, should not pass the only sentence al- lowed by law, the sentence of death. It was common report all during the trial that Capobianco was left under the impression he would be left off with sentence of three years in the state prison. But when he found himself confronted with the extreme penalty he broke down and said he would tell the truth. Then he told that he had never had any grudge against Solomita, but Perriello, with whom Capobianco boarded was eternally bounding him and convinc- ed him finally that unless he would shoot Angelo Solomita, Solomita would shoot him.
 So one afternoon in July, 1906, Perriello gave Capobianco some strong liquor and a loaded revolver on their way home from the Clock factory where they were employed and told him Solomita was laying for him near the Naugatuck depot. Solo, mita and his brother eAntonio and few others were at the depot unarm- ed and Capobianco fired three shots, one went wild, the other killed Angelo and the third wounded An topio.
 The young man immediately fled, but was captured at the depot. When Perrielo heard this story was told in court he fled, and one forenoon some three months later he was arrested on a bench warrant by Detective Colesanto. The man had changed the appearance of his face as much as possible by shaving his moustache off. He was first sentenced to from one to fifteen years but the court found the punishment had been changed to not more than ten years.

LOOKING FOR CATLIN
Woman Who Would Like 10
 Cheer and Work For Him.

People who think all the crazy folks in the country are in places where they cannot harm themselves wouldn't entertain that notion very long after reading couple of letters received by Superintendent Morris of the department of charities, seeking information regarding Henry Catlin, of Terryyille, an old joker over seven- ty years. who strolled into the office of the department of charities last week and made application for a wife. It got into the papers and soon came under the eye of women who have not given up the idea that they are too old to manage men and al- ready some of them have appealed to MT Morris to aid them in getting hold of Mir Catlin.
 Mrs Smith of No 541 West 125th street, New York, wants MT Morris to send MT Catlin to see her. She lives alone and thinks she is the kind of person that will suit him. The letter will be passed along to MT Cat lin and if he cares he may accept the invitation.
 A woman who says her name is Mrs Holley, box 443, is not looking for a man for herself, but she has a lonely neighbor who wants companion and wants to help her catch the Terry vile man. If Catlin is Irish the wo- man she has in mind doesn't want him so that it is safe to state that Mrs Smith is the only applicant so far with whom he stands any show.
