FERACI NOW FREE..
New London Italian Will Remember Threats Made by His Fellow Coun- trymen in Prison.

Philip Feraci, the young Italian of New London, who was concerned III the holdup of Melville I. Mason Of Mantle in East Lyme early on the morning of Sunday. Aug. 4. goes scot free. Feraci turned states evidence, assisting to convict the others in the case which accounts for the olsposl- tion of the ease against him. Feraci was present in the courtroom in New London Friday morning when the criminal superior court opened. States Attorney Hull referred to the case and Judge Case said that he would agree to indefinite suspension Of sentence in Feracis case. This gives Feraci his liberty, as no sentence IS imposed.
 By those who are acquainted with some of the circumstances in this case it is expected that Feraci will quit this section of the country to get out or reach of the vindicative hate of his countrymen who were accused in the case with him.
 Ii is understood that the two who were convicted and sentenced to state prison have threatened to even up the score with him when they get out and that one of them grabbed Feraci by the throat since they have been in custody by way of emphasizing their threats.
 Five Italians were charged with as- saulting Mason, who is a butcher in Niantic-Philip Feraci, Joseph Alfiero, Frank Serratto, Joseph Bruno and Frank Demaria. The jury found Al : fero and Serratto guilty on the testi- mony of Feraci but found Bruno not guilty Alfiero and Serratto were giv- en from five to ten years in state prison. Demaria has not been caught yet.
 One Year in Jail for Brown. Herbert Brown of North Stonington, who pleaded guilty to felonious as- sault on Rachel Spelman. while the girls uncle, William A. Gardner, held her, was given one year in jail by Judge Case. States Attorney Hull said that Brown is degenerate. Ma for Hull thought. in view of the fact that Brown furnished the evidence to convict Gardner, that he should not be sent to state prison.
 "Do you live with your wife?" Judge Case asked Brown. "No' Brown replied,
 "She is to be congratulated" the judge replied. You richly deserve state prison, but will send you to jail"
