timony of eight-year-old Elizabeth
 Boscardini, who, when questioned by counsel for the defense as to the
 veracity of her testimony, said:
 "God will punish me if I tell a wrong
 story"
 i He asserted that the testimony on
 the part of the witnesses for the state
 was true and that they had no end
 to accomplish by lying. ...o,.
 Attorney Roraback then upbraid-
 ed counsel for the defense for at
 tempting to cast reflections on Mrs.
 Boscardini's character, relative to
 her being alone in the house with
 Scissere while her husband went to a nearby house to pay a bill.
 The attempt to cast slurs on the character of Marie Boscardini by the attorneys for these two gunmen does not set we'll witht me-" declared Attorney Roraback. 1T deprecate the slurs upon that woman's charac- ter and I will say that have never seen cleaner or finer specimen of motherhood than Marie Boscardini"
 He described the happy home of the Boscardini family with the mother, father and two children, each one living for the other Mrs. Boscardini, who is a beautiful young woman, and her husband were in tears when Attorney Roraback spoke of their home.
 Attorney D'Aloio interrupted at this point and objected to the refer l 4n hn I hx14 men and also denied that he cast | reflections on the character of Mrs. | Boscardini.
 ''I don't blame you for squirming," shouted Attorney Roraback.
 'I am not squirming," retorted | Attorney D'Aloia, ''but I want to see this argument delivered accord ing to the rules of evidence"
 Attorney Roraback then continued his argument and named each wit ness for the defense individually and declared that he thought it was strange that each one of them rr- membered that they had seen Louis and Michael Luria on August 4, but did not see them on any other date.
 "The crux of rhe whole case is based on the identification of the two men by Mrs. Boscardini," de- clared Attorney Roraback. eve in Connecticut are proud of Con1ecti- cut and proud of its laws. It is up to. you gentlemen to tell the accuse! that we want the streets of Canaan to flow with milk and honey as of old, rather than with the blood of their victims." 1
 Attorney Ryan defended the ac- 1 ,uracy and truthfulness of the wit ' 1esses for the defense, is seeking to | prove the alibis and declared that ( he story of the five men appearing S 1t the Boscardini farm and attack { ng Scissere was a fabrication of he Boscardini family. l
 He characterized the testimony If I he policeman as "evidence put forth ( y officers looking for promotion"
 He questioned the right of Attor- t ley Roraback to insinuate that the t libis of the witnesses for the de- c ense were wrong, and said that any | ather or friend would secure all the r witnesses he could to save his. sops t vhen he knew down in his heart ttat T hese witnesses had seen his sons on g he day that they were alleged to t ave committed a murder.
 "If you believe Marie Boscardini's 4 tory, then these men are guilty. e aid Attorney Ryan. "John Scisscre W yas not so much being bullet out of a he room where he was shot as he ! ohn =. cissere was there when Boscar- n ini left for Leo Segalla's house to Ii ay a bill don't know and don't s yant to say how he got the stiletto u round in his side" a
