Hartford, April 27-Stuart Reid, an

ate of Connecticut, today, for his at

dress at Bridgeport, last Sunday night

Norwalk, arose, and addressing the
Lieutenant Governor, said that he de-
sired that the Senate should bear with
him for a few moments, as he had a
matter of Importance to communicate.
Senator Donovan said:

CRONAN RESCUES
NELLIE KILR0Y
FROM C0REARIES
Warrants Issued For Arrest of
Man and Wife Charged With
Luring Girl Clerk to Lead Inn
neral Life

Upon the affidavit of 15 years old
Nellie Kilroy, formerly clerk at the
Olympia Candy Co., 917 Main street
and living at Sc Barnum avenue,
rest of Mr.. and Mrs. Adolph Coreari,
who lived until the last Of March as
neighbors to- the Kilroy family, and
who are now alleged to have induced
the girl to follow them to their home
in New York, 416 w. 57th street, for
immoral purposes.
The Corearis came to Bridgeport
less than year ago. The police be-
Iieve Coreari has travelled pretty well
throughout the country, working as
a trolley conductor from city to city.
He is believed to have parents living
in Trumbull, or some nearby town.
The discovery of the KilrOy girl in
the New York apartment, fortunately
before the alleged plans to debauch
her had been carried out, and the
subsequent issuance of warrants for
the arrest of the pair, was due to the
energetic and resourceful work of De-
tective Sergeant Edward CrOnan, who
spent couple of days in New York
city working with the New York au-
thorities to locate the lost girl
Nellie Kilroy left Bridgeport on
April 8. Before she left she confided
to a girl friend that her friend, Mrs.
Coreari had written her to come visit
New York in her letter. She was
taken with the idea of the visit and
hastened away on an early afternoon
train. Her people didn't know of her
plans.
Mrs. Coreari, an attractive blonde
cultivated the acquaintance of the Kill
roy girl and sister year her senior,
and it is believed from subsequent
developm tents that she intended later
to send for her sister. The Corearis
quit Bridgeport March 81, shipping
their household goods to New York
under the name of John Maddox.
This was because they didn't want
certain installment houses to be able
to trace the shipment of the goods.
The Kilroy girl vanished completely
from April g. Finally the girl friend
volunteered the information that Nell
lie was going to visit the Coreari fam
ily.
Monday a postal card came to the
girls mother: 1t said simply that the
girl was all right and was visiting in
New York. 1t was mailed from Sta
tion n, Broadway and 69th street.
With two New York detectives Cron-
an went to the address obtained from
the truckman. Coreari admitted the
trio. He was surly and at first re-
fused information. The police didn't
suspect the nature of the alleged
plans of the Corearias until they were
walking away with the girl, and she
volunteer ed information that led them
to seek warrants for the arrest OF
the two people.
The illness of the girl in New York
city prevented the pair from proceed
ing with their plans They had bought
her number of costly dresses.
The Kilroy girl is one of eight chill
dren. Her father is travelling sales
man. Her brother recently gained no.
toriety by eloping with Irn1a Screed-
er, of this city, who fled with several
hundred dollars belonging to her SIS
ter. They were later married and are
now living here.

RING EVIDENCE
IN MURDER CASE
MANUFACTURED?
Especial from United Press. }

Viterbo, April 27-The possible col
lapse of the prosecution in the trial
of the Camorrists charged with the
murder of Gennaro Cuoccolo and his
wife, the beautiful Sorrentina''. was
indicated, today, in the report that a
jeweler near Naples had written to
Judge Bianchi that the police had en-
ployed him to make the ring supposed
to be Cuoccolos which was found in
the house of Di Salvi, one of the ac-
cused men.
Judge Bianchi has ordered an in
veStigation., Should the report prove
true. the prosecution will suffer a ia
tai blow as this evidence has been
the most damaging SO far produced
by the State
The carbineers have testified that
the murderers of the Cuoccolos, in
pursuance of an agreement with the
leaders in the Camorra, sent Gennaro's
ring to Di Salvi as proof that they
had carried out their part of the COM
pact. The ring was put in evidence
and was Identified by the prosecu-
tion's witnesses as belonging to the
murdered man.
Lawyers for the defense have con-
tended all along that the ring evidence
was manufactured.

Hartford, April 27-The hearing on
the bill repeating the personal tax,
which was before the committee on
Judiciary, yesterday, was a lively one.
The bill was introduced by Senator
jeremiah Donovan, and he led the
fight for it's passage. The law Great
ing the tax was adopted at the session
of the General Assembly in 1909, to
provide funds for the support of the
militia, a point of which Senator
Donovan made the most.
Senator Donovan said he introduced
the bill but he should depend upon the
