POLICE GUARD OVER
 GIRL AT HOSPITAL.
Josephine Spadero, Accused of h. fantcide, Will Be Kept Under Sur veiIlance at New London.

Preparations were made Friday by Prosecuting Attorney Daniel M. Cronin of New London to have Josephine Spadero, the 15 year old girl, accused of infanticide detained at Memorial hospital. Under the orders of the prosecutor, Captain Haven detailed Patroman Nagle to duty at the hos pital. He is charged with the duty of preventing the escape of the girl.
 It was suspected that friends of the girl would attempt to remove her from the hospital. In that case the hospi- tai authorities would have no legal right to detain her. MT. Cronin con- sidered it advisable to place a nolice- man where any movement to take the girl away might be frustrated.
 The girl has not been placed under arrest, according to the statement of the prosecuting official who has the case in charge.
 She strangled the baby when it was left with her by the hospital attendant to nurse.
 Santo Nigrelli, the Bank street bar Der, who is accused of being the fla ther of the girls baby, is in jail await ing trial before the superior court on | the charge of statutory rape. He was arrested Aug. 30, and in default of | S1.500 bonds was placed in jail to await the January term of the supe- | rior court
