GOES TO
STATE PRISON
FOR LIFE
State Accepts Plea of Second
Degree Murder
SENTENCED THIS MORNING
italian Interpreter from New York
Used to Transmit Proceedings
to Condemned Man

Michele Phileppo indicted for MUIR
der in the first degree, retracted his
plea of not guilty in county court
this morning, pleaded guilty to MUIR
der in the second degree and was
sentenced by Judge Fred M. Butler
to life Imprisonment at Windsor.
Phileppo's counsel have realized
since they were assigned to the case
at the June term of court that the
best they could hope for their client
was to save him from the death pen
atty and an overture was according
ly made to the prosecution for re-
traction of the original plea and to
plead guilty to murder in the second
degree.
Court came in shortly before 10
o'clock. The delay occasioned by
the presence of Governor G. H. Prou-
ty who arrived in town this morning
to attend a hearing for the parole OF
two inmates of the state prison com
nitted from the county had discour-
aged the people. who had assembled
to attend the opening of the trial
and outside of the jurors there was
not a large number in attendance
when court was called to order.
Phileppo came into the court room
with Sheriff Fred Godfrey and walk
ed to the customary seat inside the
railing. He wore a soft white shirt
without necktie and was without coat
or vest. A pair of black suspenders
gave an odd appearance to his wear
ing apparel. During the preliminary
| discussion he sat deiectedly with his
head resting on the back of his chair
and apparently observed but little
that was going on about him
Anthony Botillo, the Italian inter-
prefer from New York was sworn
and the Indictment for murder in the
first degree was read sentence by
sentence by Clerk }. j. Stakeholder
and interpreted TO Phileppo At the
conclusion of the reading the indict-
ed man withdrew his plea of not
guilty to the lesser offence.
States Attorney W J. Meaghef
moved for an immediate sentence
land as the condemned man stated
that he had nothing 70 say why SEN
tence should not be passed at this
time Judge Butler completed the
case. In pronouncing sentence Judge
Butler told the respondent that he
was guilty of the highest crime re-
corded in the statute and that the
punishment was fixed by law. He
then sentenced Phileppo to the state
prison at Windsor for the remainder
of his natural life.
The disposition of the case hinged
quite largely upon the report of DIR.
WATSON of the state asylum at Wat
erbury who arrived here last even
ing. Phileppo was committed to the
asylum last June for observation as
to his sanity and has been at that
institution until brought here this
week for trial. DR.. WATSON stated
to the attorneys that while in his
opinion Phileppo was not insane at
the same time he considered the
Italian to be man of unusually low
mentality. He can neither read or
write his own language and is general
ly lacking in intelligence Taking
the opinion of Dr. WATSON into con
sideration it was the belief of the
prosecution that to accept a plea of
guilty in the second degree would be
the best disposition of the case.

COOKS DATA ARRIVES
Iron Box Reaches Copenhagen
gether With its Guardian

Copenhagen, Dec. 9.-The north POI
lar observations of Dr. Frederick A.
Cook reached here yesterday on
board the steamer United States. AS
soon as the United States was tied
up at her pier an iron box containing
DR.. Cooks report and the diaries in

DIR. Cooks secretary, who had stood
guard over its precious contents

plorer.
Upon the pier Lonsdale and two
detectives bundled the iron box into
a motor car and jumping in them
selves were driven hastily to the
University of Copenhagen. The car
was followed by a second automobile.
At the university the papers were
formally turned over to the authorit'
les there and placed in strong

FOR PAROLE
Luke Bradshaw of WinhaIl Un-
der 25-Year Sentence
WAS CONVICTED IN 1897
Marshall j. Hapgood of Peru Appears
in Behalf Of Prisoner-Sargood
Case May Follow

Governor George H. Prouty of
Newport arrived here this morning
for the purpose of presiding at two
hearings for the paroles of prisoners
committed to the state prison at
Windsor from this county.
One of the cases was partially
heard this forenoon and the hearing
continued to this afternoon. A petit
ion has been forwarded to the gov
ernor from persons residing in Win
hall and Peru for the parole of Luke
Bradshaw, a negro who formerly liv-
ed in Winhall and who is now under
going sentences aggregating % years
at the state prison.
Bradshaw was convicted at the
June term of court in 1897 of two of
fences of rape and one for larceny
On each rape conviction he was SEN
fenced to II years and for the lar
ceny charge to three years. He
pleaded guilty to all offences.
The negro's mother is a woman
now So years of age. She is in a
large measure dependent upon char
ity for her support and is anxious
that her son may be with her during
her declining years.
At the hearing this morning Mar
shall J Hapgood of Peru and T. Hox-
lie Hall of Pownal appeared before
the governor and argued for leniency
in the case. Mr. Hapgood is of the
opinion that the man has been suffic-
iertly punished already, that. in the
light Of events that have TRANSFERRED
since the offences were committed
Bradshaw was in some respects un-
fortunate and that the feeling against
him at the time OF the crimes was
augmented because of his color. At
torney General j. G. Sargent OF l.ud-
low represented the state He called
attention to the seriousness of the
crimes upon which Bradshaw was
convicted but did not insist that the
convict should be made TO serve out
his fun sentence.
The other case which is to be
brought before the governor is that
of Eugene Sargood OF Arlington who
is undergoing sentences aggregating
IA years for poisoning There were
three counts charged against Sargood
who has been at Windsor about four
years and some time ago an attempt
was made to secure his release on
the ground that there was a legal de.
feet in the order of the sentences
pronounced upon him. This case is
still before the United States court.

Hapgood Says the North Shire Has
No Objections

NJ. j. Hapgood of Peru was visit
tor in town today, stopping here on
his way to New York to appear as
a witness in the Bradshaw case be
fore Governor Prouty. Mr.. Hapgood
says that he finds no objection to the
county having a new Jail and thinks
the north shire will offer no objec-
ton in view of the recent develop
ments in the matter. He intimated
that he would fight any proposition
for a new courthouse but thinks it
will be a good thing to get the jail
into a building for itself so that the
back part of the lower floor can be
used for a jury room and to enable
the bettehr ventilation of the build

JUDGE MADE PROMISE
Said he Would Sentence Negro in 80
Days

Louisville, Ky, Dec. 9.-Whether
the extraordinary circumstances of
the trial and sentence to death at
Williamstown, Ky. of the negro Earl
Thompson, will make the proceeding
illegal is a subject of broad discus
sion in Kentucky.
A mob which had met Thompson
at the train when he was brought
back from Lexington to answer to a
charge of criminal assault virtually
exacted a promise from Circuit Judge
Cammack that he would sentence
Thompson to hanging within thirty
days and keep him meanwhile in the
Williamstown Jail.
Cammack delivered the pledge
from the jail steps. Within the court
house previously Thompson had been
tried and found guilty.
Thompson had entered strong
plea of not guilty. Judge Cammack
fixed the hanging for January next.

The proclamation of martial law in
Honduras is the result probably of a
suspicion at the capital that General
Manuel Bonilla will take advantage
of the situation in Nicaragua to in
wade Honduras with rebel band and
regain the presidency, of which he
was deposed by President Davila,
with the aid of President Zelaya Of
Nicaragua. Driven from the presi-
dency of Honduras, Bonilla took re-
fuge on the American cruiser Chica-
go on April -, 1907. Since then he
has spent much time in Mexico, the
United States and British Honduras.
On November 23 last, he sailed from
New Orleans for Colon. He is sus-
pected of intriguing with Guatemala
and Salvador for the purpose of
bringing about a revolution in Hon
duras, overthrowing the Davila gov
eminent and then forming union
between Honduras, Guatemala and
Salvador for an attack on President
Zelaya's government in Nicaragua.
The present attitude of Honduras,
however, has been declared officially
to be one of strict neutrality as a
Central American state with its neu-
trality practically guaranteed by the
United States and Mexico under the
Washington agreement.
