The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-11-03

Trial Before the New
 Haven Courts.
 That Lyndal Bosworth, the young bandit slain Monday morning as he fled from arrest had laid plans for a daylight raid upon the First-Bridgepor6 bank, which he hoped to loot, with the aid of half a dozen gunmen, was disclosed in thrilling story told to The Farmer by his accomplice in New Haven robberies, John McNally.
 McNally's story of his meet ing with Bosworth does not verify the suspicion that Bos- worth was the slayer of Jus tice w. s. Knowles of Cranston, R. l., though Bosworth, accord ing to McNally, admitted that he had taken one mans life.
 That the real slayer of Bos- worth, one of the party of about "a dozen Bridgeport and New Haven policemen, will never be known is likely. Although Medical Examiner Samuel E. Garlick had planned to conduct an autopsy yesterday, by which it was expected the fatal bullet would have been extracted from the dead bandits abdo- men, the medical examiner re- T6eived instructions fD6m Coro- ner John J. Phelan which rem -dered the autopsy unnecessary.
 The coroner, after hearing the stor- ies of the police and of the two youths who betrayed the fugitive into the hands of the police, was satisfied that the shooting was Unsuitable, and for that reason he dispensed with the for4 mality of an autopsy.
 iMcNally, brought here by the New Haven police in Connection with the { coFoner's inquest was not brought into the proceedings. He was held at pokce heaic uarCers throughout yes@ terday, and at 3 o'clock in the even ing was returned to New Haven po~ lice headquarters
 Bosworth'S body was taken from the undertaking parIors of .JIl'.iuan & Mullins, who conduct the city morgue,J to those of Henry 2. Bishop. Y, The remains were shipped to Provi- dence on the Hill train last night | The funeral services took place this 1 morning.
 Coroner John J. Phelan, following an inquest held Tuesday into the l death of Bosworth. declared that the l circumstances of the shooting on | Monday proved that the police 1yero | justified in their act.
 Appearing before him were Capt i John H. Began, Detective George Fox of the Bridgeport police department ! Captain of Detectives Henry J. po1.4 ] nelly, Detectives Harry w. Futile. William H. Deslxin and Stanley Cian- elli of the New Haven police force, and James Buckley and George EtF field, Bridgeport youths who aided in the attempted ca Tture of BosworCh.
 It was disclosed that the bandit was armed with m automatic revolver ready for immediate use ap1 that if he had been permitted to turn about one or more of the po1icenen's lives would have been Jeopardized,
 Funeral services were held in New Haven today over the remains of De- tective Sergeant Bennett w. Dorman. who died as a result of the bullet fired by Bosworth. At the home on Pond street, at 2 o'clock today, a large dele gation of friends and policemen gath cred about the bier to pay a parting tribute to the popular detective.
 McNally's story of Bosworth's or ganizing a band of robbers in this viz cinity is being thoroughly sifted by tho police of New Haven and Bridgeport. It is not unlikely that further arrests will be made in connection with re- cent robberies in these two cities, as result of his disclosures.
