 He May Surrender
 It was thought probable this morning that pr. Petrocelli might appear in superior court this after noon, and surrender himself as soon as the bench warrants charging him with two counts of manslaugh- ter had been issued.
 As soon as the coroner's findings had been filled, States Attorney Lawrence [. Lewis began prepara- tions to have Q number of witnesses in the two cases subpoenaed to ape pear in court this afternoon.
 What Coroner Found
 Coroner MonzAni finds that the Silva girl was brought to Waterbury late in May or early in June by Daniel Lavirire of Barkhanstead, and taken to pr. Petrocelli's offlce. at 227 South Main street. Shortly after, her condition grew worse and she was taken to st. Francis hos- pital, Hartford, entering there lin. der the name of Mary Calabrese. Tn c death-bed statement she told Coroner Monzani that Lavirire had paid pr. Petrocelli $76 to perform the criminal operation.
 Witnesses examined in the Silva case included: Joseph Calabrese of Winsted, Dr. George Cogen of Hart ford, Philip Fenn of Pennington, ct whose home she worked as Q do- nestle: Mrs. Mary J. Fenn, Dr. Karl Kilburn of Collinsville, Florence Teltier of Unionville, Dr. Petrocelli, Alfred Silva, Francis Silva, John Silva, Mary Silva and Mrs. Norah Silva, all of West Avon.
 Tn the other case, Coroner Mon. zani finds that Dr. Petrocelli agreed to operate on the Pileski girl for $50 and she paid him @4i on account. Working In Washington at the time, she became seriously Ill and was brought to Waterbury hospital Sept. 24th. She also gave Q deathbed statement before she died Oct. 10th.

 It was stated at the motor vehicle department today that 1t is figured that the 1000 blanks ordered from the Scovill Manufacturing Company will be sufficient to take care of two years supply. In the ensuing years, when more plates are necessary with the gradual growth of the number of automobiles in Connecti. cut, the motor vehicle department will place additional orders for the blanks and the work of stamping and enbossing will be done ct the reforTnatory.

(Continued from Page ID hit of 1918. The scene was the lnusty old shubert theater.
 There was nothing about Gillette last night that indicated his 90 years. His shoulders were as straight, his eyes as piercing, his mouth as tight.lipped, his voice as firm and as controlled as 70 years there was no actor who compared to him in popularity.
 An All Star Cast
 Back stage, Gillette was com. radely to his colleagues in an oil star cast that included Mary Rogers daughter of the late Will Rogers, James Kirkwood, Charles Coburn, Sidney Booth and William Pest, Jr., His friends and his admirers over many decades, graying men and women, he received airily. After all, he should have given Q first rate performance: he had enough exper. fence. Moreover, he felt quite strong well able to play ou the week here, move on to Philadelphia, Washing. ton, and Boston for engagements, and to open on Broadway. It was 0 thrice familiar routine.
 No More Peace
 Tn the wisdom of his years, 0 lover of cats, of living, of miniature railroads, Gillette played the part of Theodore Tindley, c crotchiness With his two cronieg, Judge James Trumbull (janes Kirkwood), and Dr. Richard 0aunt (Charles Co- burn), he maintains bachelor quar. terS in sublime peace, free from the disturbing element of femininity. Then Miss Fairchild Mary Rogers) daughter of the woman ell three had loved in their youths, appears on the scene, and there ig no more peace for the three wise fools.
 Got Great Thrill
 Gillette, still in costume and still smelling Of grease paint, profeSsed backstage to having received Q great thrill. He was pleased with the play, the footlighS and the ap. plause. He also felt c faint nostal. gia for the i7 cats he had foresaken on his Connecticut estate, also the miniature railroad with which he amused himself in retirement.
 He left the stage in 1921 for his cats and railroad. In 1929 he emerg- cd in . revival of his celebrated adaptation of 4. Conan Doyle's de- tective Sherlock Holmes" then TO. tired again until he accepted this indefinite engagement with pro- ducer John Golden.
