elaborate design.
In addition three sheep skin lined

away, were shown by Mrs. Romano.
A large trunk, crammed full Of
clothing, a shelf fun of good shoes
two closets of clothing worn by the
girls and at least nine hats, also
were shown to prove that the chill
dren were not neglected.
Mr.. Connolly stated this morning
that the reason the girls at the Long
Lane farm have not been returned
to their home is because the 18th
month period was not the end of
the sentence but the beginning of
the optional parole period and the
officials at the home are not salts
fled that they are ready to go home.
He says there is no connection be-
tween the two girls and the other
three children.
No Reason For Act
There was no reason why the
children should have been taken
away according to Mrs. Nellie Col
Inns of Oak street. who resided near
where Romano family lived at
the time. Mrs Collins waxed indig-
rant last evening in corroborating
statements made by Mrs. Romaine
that the children were taken away
she was choked, knocked down and
otherwise roughly treated by the po-
lice and humane agents. They sur
rounded my house until the neigh
hors thought there was a murder
there" interjected Mr.. Romano.
Mr.. and Mrs. Romaine were so
upset yesterday and so hysterical
over their troubles that neighbors
on Star street requested a policeman
so to house to pacify them. Sergeant
Themas J. Feeney called and later
Mr.. Connolly also visited the home.
Mr. Connolly last evening wrote
letters to the county commissioners
to the Connecticut Child Welfare
bureau and to the Connecticut HUI
name Society asking that the case
be re-opened and new investiga-
ton conducted, with the possibility
of returning the children to their
parents.
Mr.. Romano is an iron molder by

able to work because of a burned

rough TREATMENT
Attorney Charges That Even
Lawyers Are Sometimes Abused

Lawyers as well as prisoners are
abused by the police according to a
statement made in police court by
Attorney Thomas F. McDonough
this morning, who told Judge Nor
ris d. SAKE that he personally has
been abused.
The statement was made in con-
nection with the hearing of William
Grabowski. aged %, of "a Concord
street. Grabowski was charged with
indecent assault on 15-year- old
girl. Among those who testified for
the state We're Detective Sergeant
Thomas F. Feeney and DIR. c. NJ.
Cooley.
The state was represented by AS
sistant Prosecuting Attorney Will
liam NJ. Greenstein, who openly
questioned Grabowskis ability TO
tell the truth at any time"
Grabowski, and his attorney both
accused Sergeant Feeney of forcing
the girl TO make damaging state
ments against the accused. Ora
bowski also said Feeney told him at
the girls home to shut up or III
bat you"
That's the way the detective bu-
reau does thing and it's time it is
stopped" said Mr.. McDonough, adj
dressing the court. He said the po
lice were attempting to railroad
Grabowsk and it was only the
honest, fair efforts of Mr.. Green
stein that the state had any show
at all in the case.
Reiterating his statement that
prisoners are abused. he continued

Mr.. McDonoungh later was asked

replied II don't care to mention

New Jersey Slayer's Lawyer
Plans Final Fight

Trenton, n. j., July UP)-A
last minute effort to save Salvatore
Merra, condemned to die tonight in
the electric chair at states prison,
was planned by Alexander Simpson,
his counsel.
Simpson sought TO locate Chief
Justice Gummere of the state SUI
preme court to obtain a writ stay
ing the execution. The lawyer was
ready to argue that Merra was not
present when re-sentenced by a
county Judge after the court of err
rors and appeals denied him a re-
view.
Merra was found guilty Of
charge of murder following the
death of a Newark paymaster shot
in holdup. He was married Tues
day in the death house to the
mother of his two-year- old son, SO
that the latter might be legitima-
TIED
1t was considered doubtful today
if Mrs. Merra would attempt to visit
her husband before the execution.

again late Wednesday night when
she tore up blankets in her cell at

herself. 1t was necessary for Mrs.
Metty. police matron, TO remain
with her all night to prevent her
herself.
In addition to the three children
taken away by the Connecticut HUI
name society, two older girls are be-
ing held at the Long Lane farm for
women at Middletown. These girls
were committed by the court at
Waterbury. from which place the
family moved here, when they be-
came involved with some petty thefts
there. According to the father their
terms of IS months each expired on
June 5. and the family wants to
know why they have not been re-
turned.
Three Children Taken
Three younger children were taken
away from the New Britain home
June %, when Judge W. c, Hunger
ford signed the order at the request
of the Connecticut Humane society.
The only reason for the action. SO
far as has been ascertained, is that
the Humane society claimed that the
home was not fit place to raise
children. The fact that the family
has moved from one town to an
other so many times that the pro-
baton office In Waterbury calls
them THE Gypsy family" was given
as the cause for the decision. 1t
has been learned that it is not the
same family, although the name and
other features OF the story are re-
markedly similar to a case occur
ring with a family which once own
ed home at 16 John street.
The home at Is Star street has
been inspected by Mr.. Connolly
early in the morning and has been
found as good, according to his re-
ports, as many homes in New Brit

Herald representative called at the
home he found it scrupulously clean.
There were no carpets on the floors,
but they showed evidence of system
