care of his wife, who has never Iuliy
recovered. Mrs. Sullivan sued Tor per-
soHal injuries, as cid Miss Corcorah
and Mr.. Colby. 49,
The jury in the superior court loi
Hampden county in November, 1918
rendered verdict for these claim
ants-the only verdicts ever won by
plaintiffs in some so or 90 MaroInas
wreck suits. Mr.. Sullivan obtained
verdict of $500 on his injuries, IKE
amount for expenditures, and Mrs.
Sullivan a verdict of $1,000, Miss Cor
coran obtained a verdict of $4,000, ana
Mr.. Colby $780, Motion was made by
the railroad to have the judge set
aside the verdict, but the motion was
denied. Then the railroad company
took the case to the supreme court OIL
Mass chusetts on exceptions to the
court rulings. There the cases haVe
been pending ever since.
In the meantime the railroad coIh
pany's detectives and the Connectlcut
state police ran down three or TOUR
men who were convicted in the supe-
rior- court of Middlesex county OF
wrecking the train at Maromas. 1t

livan and the others had small chance
of ever getting anything for their In
juries but their lawyers persisted IN
the equity Of their claims and have
succeeded in getting a substantial set
tlement, it is said.
Frank Virelli, state policeman, or
Bridgeport, was responsible for the
four years pursuit and final capture
of the men convicted of wrecking the
train. They were ISebastiano Laca-
ma, Nunzio Buchenho, Piolo Carubo
and Antonio VernaIe. They had re-
moved a fish-plate from the rails.
Vernale and Buchemo were from
Bridgeport. Lacana was arrested in
Ansonia, while Carubo was found do
ing a term in Wethersfield prison.
The capture and arrest of the men
was one of the notable detective feats
of the state police department during
the past decade, as the trail was fol-
lowed over many states during the
four years that elapsed.
