PRIESTS DEPL0RE USE
 OF CHURCH BY POLICE
Father Downey Of St. Peters Ex- plains They Knew Nothing About
 CrapulIi's Alleged Confession.

Hartford. April g Pt-"The priests of St. Peters protest against such uses of the church" was the com ment of the Rev. John J.

Crapulli charged with aiding and abetting in the murder of Samuel kamaroff, Jefferson street grocer His story to detectives told in the silence of the church precipitated the confession of guilt from Frank Di Battista, who admitted at police headquarters later that he shot and killed kamaroff.
 ''The priests of St. Peters have no knowledge of the occurrence in the church. said Father Downey. The only information we have is what appeared in the press. If he came to the church, the only ones who know about it are the Hartford police,
 If he were brought 10 St Peters church with the idea that he Was going to confession. the priests cer- tainiy would protest against such methods of extracting information.
 We don't know that the parties were here. The priests are intereste in bringing about justice, but if re- ligious feelings were appealed to. and he was brought to the church with the idea of going to confession knowledge. We believe that that s going beyond the limits of common decency."
