 Voters Bill Passed
 As the result of a bill passed during the closing few days of the session, Waterbury's voters must decide when they cast their votes on election day next October whether or not the Park road school district should or should not be forced to come into the second taxation district. This is the only referendum affecting Waterbury passed during the session of the legislature.
 Local legislators bills were giv- en quiet "execution" as the session closed yesterday, also. Represen- tative Thoms' bill calling for a commission to investigate autonno- bile liability insurance rates re- mained on the table to the last minute of the 1895 session. Repre- sentative Daniel J. Mahaney's bill calling for q five-cent rate on all trolleys and busses "died in com mittee." Senator George T. Gull hane's bill cutting interest rates on mortgages from 6 to per cent was not reported on by the finance committee. The unfavorable report on the bill still reposed in the desk of Senator J. Sedgewick Tracy, senate chairman of the finance committee, as Lieutenant Governor Hayes brought down the gavel for the final time.
 One Bill Unreported
 The committee on public health and safety failed to report on the bill restoring the right to practice medicine to Michael J.Anthony of this city. This bill attracted more attention than is generally known. pr. Stanley Osborn, state health commissioner, lobbied strongly against its passage despite the fact that Mir. J'Anthony was given the endorsement of several of Water bury's leading members of the medical profession.

 From indications given in off cial quarters, it is apparent that police believe they know exactly where Odierno is recuperating "in tho country" but have not enough "oa' the reputed racketeer to seek his arrest. The place where Od- ierno is in hiding, it is gathered from broad hints, is but few miles from Waterbury and easily approached from this city.
 Another Shooting Mystery
 Tn discussing the Odierno shoot ing case. revealed yesterday for the first time, police today half-re- vealed another shooting here a few months ago which was unre- ported at the time. At that time, the shooting victim was said to have been taken to the office of a Hartford doctor for treatment, giving rise to the belief that a similar procedure may have been followed when Odierno was shot through the chest and shoulder here Q few weeks ago.
 After court yesterday. Capt. Car son and members of the vice squad said that Odierno had been taken for a ride" by racketeers who re- sented his supposed interference in their organized vice schemes. and shot twice through the body, then thrown out of the car on Water street.
 Was Always Frisked
 It has been further made known that members of the vice squad made a habit of "frisking" Odier- no whenever they met him on the street. for the racketeers was re- ported to have a gun handy at al- most any time. He was convicted here twice in 1923 for carrying concealed weapons. while his rec- ord card shows that he was ques- tioned for a New York City mur. der. Police claim that he was im- plicated in two other killings in this state.

 Agree It Is Not Crow
 Meanwhile, Coroner John T. Monzani. Dr. Irving Platt, Wolcott medical examiner, and neighbors of Crow in Wolcott have agreed definitely that the body is not that of the fugitive. They based their opinions of the build of the mans body, reported smaller and shorter than Crow, and on the fact that the recovered body was without teeth. indicating that its owner had false teeth, whereas Crow, ac- cording to those who knew him, did not have false teeth.
 Lieutenant Schatzman. accord ing to reports. was beginning to- day a survey of local dentists in an effort to establish identifica- ton of the body.
 Patrolman i'm Doubt
 One surprising development to- day was a statement by Patrol- man Charles McWeeney of the local police repartment. who was an acquaintance of Crow and who examined the body yesterday at new Pine Grove cemetery, that the build very greatly resembled that of Crow. The policeman disagreed completely with those who said that Crow was five-eight or five nine In height, declaring that Crow was but about five-five or five-slx. Patroiman McWeeney said the body recovered Tuesday resembled very much that Of Crow, but he would not commit himself to a positive statement either way. The policeman ut tered the belief that none of Crows neighbors knew enough about Crows teeth Co offer any valuable evidence.

 The local g. o. p. organization failed to obtain another place on the city court bench, however, and the bill introduced by the republi- cans of Waterbury seeking the elimination from the city charter of the $1,000 contract waiver clause stayed 'in the box" as the session closed yesterday.

 Tear Gas Bombs Used Two tear gas bombs had been exploded in the hall. The first drove representatives,, senators, newspapermen and spectators into the lobby, gasping for air. The second was touched off just as the governor entered to deliver his parting message, which he read with tears streaming down his face and his audience similarly affected.
 During the height of the merry making during which the speaker was bombarded with wads of rolled newspapers and streamers, there was commotion in the lobby and two messengers barged through the door with young bull in tow.

 The melancholy Faber became bitter last night when his counsel informed him that his former sweetheart, Miss Rose Knellar. young brunette bookkeeper, was on a West Indies cruise.
 Nothing for Her
 q have nothing I want to con- vey to her." said the 25 year old radio shop proprietor, as he stood at the barred door at death cell No. 3. "She left me like the pro- verbal rats that leave a sinking ship. The love she professed for me, if that is love, of which with my minor experience I have no knowledge, then if that is love, it is beyond me-.
 Faber said that if Rose really loved him he would expect her ito stand by and give me such sym pathetic affection and courage as she might in the hour of my need"

 Last Word to Her
 "Rose, you may have and take with you such delight as you had with me, if you had any. You have failed me in my hour of need. If I wronged you, ask your for giveness, and I forgive you for all the things you might have done"
 1t was to obtain money to finance his marriage to Rose that turned Abe to banditry. After the Need- ham hold-up he gave her pack age containing several thousand dollars, telling her not to open it until their wedding day. This money she subsequently, turned over to police.
 Farewell to Relatives
 Late yesterday the doomed trio said their farewells to relatives.
 A sister. Miss 1dalyn Millen. 19. became hysterical as she left the death house, screaming:
 "They can't do it! Don't let them do it."
 Joseph Millen, the father, and another sister, Frances, were pale and fearful.
 Mir. and Mrs. Philip Faber. who skimped and deprived themselves of life's luxuries so their only son could have a college education, both wept, as they bid him good bye.
 Meanwhile George Stanley Har- vey, counsel for Murton and Irving Millen, issued statement insisting that both brothers are insane. Harvey has tried in vain to have them examined anew by a psy- chiatrist.
 The Millens are amusing them- selves in the death house by draw ing pencil sketches.
