why sentence of death should not be
pronounced against him.. He didn't
quite catch the meaning of the inter
probation and asked if the court meant
why he wounded the man. Upon the
question being repeated in Italian, he
said that he did have something TO

friends gathered about him, babe him
farewell and offered up prayers.

MURDER IN FIRST DECREE
Dadato Found Guilty After Jury Out Four Hours
Sentenced to be Hanged May 26, 1910-Prisoner
Said He Couldn't See Why He Should be Hung wo
Others Sentenced


The criminal superior court put in
an entire day on Saturday for the pur-
pose of completing the murder case
winch has been under way for several
DAYS. The arguments and charge were
made, after which the jury considered
the matter for over four hours and
bringing in verdict then of guilty in
the first degree against Dominic Ca
pAldo. alias Diadato, for the shooting
and killing of Alphonse Barbuto in
New London May "a, 1909. The accused
was Informed of the verdict and sem
fenced to be hanged at state prison
May 26. 1910, one day short of year
from the commission of the crime.
Diadato was considerably affected by
the verdict and sentence. and asked
why he should be sentenced to be
hanged when he had been bothered
so many times by that fellow. He
shed no tears but two women and sew
eral men friends of the prisoner wept
and wrung their hands in their grief
while they kissed him time and again.
Wouldn't Plead Guilty.
The prisoner. it is understood, had
refused to plead guilty to second de-
gree murder, previous to the trial.
His attorneys have not decided what
they will do. but some steps will be
taken towards an appeal or some ac-
ton in his behalf. The jury at one
time stood six to six. being equally
divided between first and second de-
gree murder, but all the time they
were satisfied as to his guilt in some
degree.
When court opened at nine o'clock
the arguments were made by Attor-
neys Cronin, Smith, Freeman and Hull,
which were followed by Judge Wheel
er's charge of about an hour. They
were sent out to consider the matter
at 1.30, and found the dinner awaiting
them in their room having been pro-
vided by the Wauregans house by di-
rection of Sheriff Brown Nothing was
heard from them until $40 o'clock
when they returned and through Fore
man Brewster verdict of guilty in
the first degree was given.
Sentenced to Be Hanged.
A motion for sentence was made
after it has been ascertained that,
according to the statutes. the hang
ing could not be fixed until a month
after the next session of the supreme
court to allow for an appeal to that
body, and Judge Wheeler asked the
accused if he had anything to say

He graduated from Yale in the cele-
braterd class OF 1858. and came 70

marriage, beginning his life here In
the house which has been his horne
for nearly So years.
His earliest employment was as an
associate in the whaling business OF
Williams e. Barns, and with the de-
idly identified with almost every en-
terprise which made for the growth
and Improvement OF the town. To
name the positions which he held is

public library of New London, an I'M

beneficent, and in which he took a
constant and daily interest until ILL.,

In the time of his greatest activity
no man in New London was respon-
sible for wider or more diverse inter-
ests. Few men could have so quietly
and unostentatiously assumed the bur-
den; none could have carried ii with
more complete success.
He shrank from all publicity and
was almost impatient at the thanks
of those whom he had benefited.
While not dogmatic, his was a quiet
persistence which carried its own
course by the conviction of its own
wisdom. Lay down the pen. nor fur
Their seek his merits to disclosed He
would not have it so.
Peace to his soul His truest. best
requiem is the grateful memories en-
shrined in loving hearts that sorrow
because they shall see him no more.

A scoreless game was played Satur-
day afternoon on the local gridiron be-
tween the LightWeights and a team
from Jewett City. The visitors line
was heavier than that of the home
team,and through the line plays did not
net many gains for the Lightweights.
Hollin's punting, however with the
runs by Supa following a double pass
brought them we'll down the field.
When the whistle blew in the second
half the Lightweights had the ball on
Jewett City's one yard line. Quarter
back Rydholm ran the team with judg-
ment. and most'7of the time the ball
was in Jewett City's territory.
The Lightweights expect to play a
return game at Jewett City next Sat-
urday.
