Least Guilty of
 Murdering Trio to Pay Crimes Penalty
(Continued from First PaeeA

(Continued from First Page)
 The trial was brought to a speedy witnesses who claimed that at various times Bove had told them that his sister, the victims wife, Martzano and himself had put Bergamo out of the way, so as to further the relations be- tween Mrs. lBergamo and Martzano One witness in particular had told of his relations with Martzano and Bove in the mines of West Virginia These child was born to Mrs. Bergamo was christened Martzano. Martzano is all legged to have stated that Bergamo had been killed and that his body was buried in the woods near Darien. The witness stated that he came to this state and went searching for the grave but never found it. Later on he anS another witness searched the woods and found the body.
 The crime for which Rove was com mftted to prison occurred in Darien during December, 1905. Martzano, star boarder in the Bergamo house. out hunting in the woods between Darfen and Noroton. While Bergamo was bending down to pick up some thing or other, Martzano shot him in the back. It could not be proven that Bove was with the two at the time the shot was fired, but he assisted in hurying the body in the woods. The Italians of Darien missed Bergamo and they were told that ne nad gone to West Virginia to work. Darien be- came too warm for the trio and they left for West Virginia. The Stam- ford authorities when the body was found sent officers to West Virginia to bring back the trio, but Mrs. Bergamc and Martzano had received word loS the activities against them in Darfess and fled the country. Bove had in tended to go later, but the arm of the law was too quick, for him. While in West Virginia two children were born to. Mrs. Bergamo.
 An attempt was made to get the duo from the old country, whither they had fled but the Italian government refused to give them up. They are now, however, being tried for the mur- der and if found guilty will be turn e dover to the authorities of this state.
 It has become known that Martzano since his flight to italy has deserted Mrs. Bergamo and. their two illigit- mate children and gone to live with Mrs Bove, the wife of the prisoner, and that they have had one child born to them.
 The skeleton of the murdered man. which has graced the court room for the past week, with his darkened bones and firm set of teeth, was re- moved after the trial. It is stated that a museum in New Haven will get the body, although 1t, may be used again as evidence should Mrs. Berga- mo and Martzano be brought back to this country.

Eulogies for Former
 Gov. George l.. Lilley
Continued from First Page)

(Continued from First Page.)
 Speaker Banks emphasized the fact that Governor Lilley'S true worth and the real value of his memory lie in his good work rather than eulogies of his friends.
 Representative Higgins of Winsted followed in words descriptive of the fine qualities of character possessed by Governor Lilley, and concluded: He so lived that he died regretted. He so died that he lived after death" !"
 Beginning with a quotation from Omar Khayyam Rubbiak, Representa- tive Malone of Bristol commented on the fact that sfrom the gateway which men never return. "It is only the good which man does that he can transmit only that which he is privil- eged to leave as a lasting heritage on posterity." He held up the late Gov ernor as a typical man and sketched the development of his career as that of a soldier who does his duty and if necessary dies for it far above any words of encouragement from the lips of a leader. Judge Malone conclud- ed:
 .sIf we take to, ourselves, MT. Presi- dent the lesson from the life of George Leavens Lilley we will not have lived in vain"
 Representative Bartlett of Bridge port, concluded the brief speeches of the resolutions speaking of the milf- tary 1dulo or CIOV0fLOr haiiey. III d feeling manner he told of the way the noble qualities of the man had endear- ed him to his staff. "He lived as brave men live and died as brave men died,' said Representative Bartlett. .He was not afraid of death. His chief regret at the last hour was that there remained so much yet to be done"
 Senator searls moved the passage of the resolutions by rising vote and every member of both Houses rose to his feet.
 The Senate adjourned immediately upon returning to the Senate cham Der.
 After the convention had dissolved Speaker Banks made a motion for an- other session of the House but this was lost and he then declared the House adjourned until tomorrow when there will be another session.
