RUTLAND, April 13.-Peter Longe.
who was found guilty yesterday of sec
ond degree murder for the killing of Owen
Hayes at Fair Haven, was sentenced to
life imprisonment in the state prison by
Judge Sherman r. Moulton today.
Before imposing sentence the court
overruled the motion of the defense that
the verdict be set aside against the evil
dence.
Although Madeline Longe star" wit
ness for the state in the trial of her father.
Peter Longe. Is not in custody, the indica-
tiOnS last night were that there would be
more to it as far as the girl is con-
cerued.
+ In fact. sometime within the next few
days. according to a statement by State :
Attorney Charles +. NOvak, the girl will
be brought into juvenile court for the
purpose of placing her in charge of the
state board of charities and probation.
She i at present an important state
witness in the case of the state against
Louis Bishop. who is confined in the aSy-
lum at Waterbury. charged with Statu-
tory crime. 1t seems to be the plan of
the state officials to keep the young girl
under surveillance pending the trial of
Bishop.
Madeline Longe is only Il Years old,
minor i'm the eyes of the law. yet the
very first intimation of foul play in the
death of Owen Hayes came from her lips
when she was being examined in con-
ucction with the Bishop case ON the
stand. during the trial of her father. she
provided one of the first sensations ol
the trial by rcpudiating her previous tcs-
timouy and evidently trying to clear her
father. regardless of the possibility oi
discriminating her supposed lover Louis
Bishop
The girl is crazy" said some expcr-
fenced criminal lawyers and veteran re,
