Y RELlI TELLS STORY OF
 SHOOTING AS TOLD HIM
 BY VICTIM OF COLLETTA

The ante-M Mortem statement of Pas quale Nespoli, who was killed by An tonic Colletta, was given to Judge Shumway and jury in the criminal superior court yesterday afternoon by State Policeman Virelli, who visited the wounded man at St. Vincent's hos pital. Virelli said Nespoli told him of the happenings of March 19 last, when the murder took place. Nespoli ar rived home that evening and found his wife and sister-in-law. Mrs Colletta, terror stricken because Colletta was tapping on the window and making threats.
 Nespoli went out to investigate and Colletta ran but the pair met on the sidewalk and Nespoli grabbed the ac- cused. The latter pulled away and ran up North Washington avenue to- ward Grand street. Nespoli started to follow but was shot. twice by Colletta.
 Louis Richards also testified of an interview he had with Nespoli at the hospital. The statement was substan- tially the same as that given to Vir- eali
 Goetanno Conforte, said he was in Col1etta's apartment several months before the shooting. He witnessed a quarrel between Colletta and his wife. The accused wanted Mrs. Colletta to make up and live with him again but she refused.
 Court adjourned at yesterday af- ,ternoon until Tuesday morning.

Fox Has Made Good Unfair Attack Upon the Demo- cratic First Selectman of Fairfield by Political
 Enemies

The Republican town committee of taIrheld has committed grave blum der in its published attack upon Charles 8. Fox, the first selectman Of that town on the eve of the cleo tion. MT. Fox has made an enviable record and although the politics of the town on the Republican side is in the hands of a small clique it has never been able to injure MT. Fox in the eyes of the electors. The latest scheme will prove a boomerang if the voters rally as they are expected to the aid of their able and efficient first selectman.
 The same element that is now at tacking MT. Fox years ago tried by the same methods to injure the stand ing of MT. Simon Bradley, one of the ablest and most upright officials the town has ever known but made a dismal failure of it. MT. Fox has been first selectman for five years and his administration has given sat isfaction to the citizens with the eX- ception of the political ring that wants the place for one of their own number. The election will be held Monday and MT. Fox deserves to be reelected.

WON'T PUBLISH NAMES
OF Wet Petitioners Is Decision OF
Lincoln Temperance Committee

Owing to the fact that the pro-
posed local option election has been
declared off by Judge Bailey. the
Temperance Committee of Lincoln
county decided at n meeting held
here this week. not to have pub
lisbed the names Of the signers to
the petition for an election.
The Committee states that it has
decided upon this course. by reason
Of the fact that its canvass of the
petitions in the Rowland and Way
nesburg and Hustonville No. | pre-
cincts disclosed so many names
which were obtained to the petitions
by misrepresentation and fraud, it is
confident there are many others on
the petitions from the other pre-
cincts of the county which were not
examined and pureed, that were Sc
cured To the petitions in like manner.
And the committee has no desire TO
publish IA on the Whisky side the
names of many worthy citizens who
undoubtedly do not wish to be so
classified. Further the Committee
states that il sees no actual good
that can be obtained from pubIica-
ton of the lists of petitioners. now
that the call has been declared in
valit and 50 will not have it done.
