John R. Apuzzo, a court stenog- rapher, was recalled this morning and testified to taking notes of the testimony given Coroner John T. Monzani in the Silva girls room at St. Francis hospital on June 14, 1885. The girl, he said, pointed to Dr. Petrocelli and said that he was the one who had performed an il- legal operation on her just 8 few days before." The girl knew she was dying, Apuzzo testified, and though she was in great pain her mind appeared to be normal.
 Errors Claimed
 The stenographer, who was dis qualified from taking the evidence in the present trial when it was found that he had been present at the death-bed hearing last June, was subjected to sharp, lengthy cross-examination by Attorney Ed ward Mascolo, defense counsel. En- phasizing what he called "errors" in the transcript made by Apuzzo from
 the notes he took at the hospita room hearing, Attorney Mascolo kept him on the stand about all morning.
 Chief Inspector Joseph Stevens, who was on the stand when court was adjourned yesterday afternoon, was the only witness heard this morning besides Apuzzo. The de- fense counsel sought to bring out from the head of the detective bu- reau that Dr. Petrocelli had been given no chance to secure counsel and no information that he was to be taken to Hartford when he was arrested in his South Main street office last June.
 Assistant States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald, who is prosecuting for the state, questioned Apuzzo only briefly. On direct examination by MT. Fitzgerald, Apuzzo testified that the girl said she had visited Dr. Petrocelli twice in the week pre- vious to the taking of the evidence of the hospital. She said she had gone, he said, to Dr. Petrocelli's OIUCe OIl NOItll MduL ouCCU OA South Main street., in Waterbury.
 The assistant states attorney was believed to have only a few wit nesses to question briefly before resting the states case. Should the state end its case late this after noon, court will probably be ad- journed at that time, with the de- fense beginning its case Tuesday. Defense Tinted
 In his cross-examination of state witnesses, Attorney Mascolo has given hint that part of the de- fense's contention will be that the girl was irrational and under the influence of drugs when she iden- tified Dr. Petrocelli on her death- bed, and when she signed dying statements both for State Trooper Patrick c. O'Toole and State Trooper William Landon.
 The deathbed statements were

only 19 men of the 150 he started with. On different occasions he was gassed, his eyesight damaged by shell fragments and his side pierced by machine gun fire.
 Our own and allied governments decorated him with various citations and medals, including the DiStin- guished Service Cross, the Croix de Guerre, the Purple Heart and the Silver Star. I quote from the cita- tions which accompanied his deco- rations:
 D. S. c. Award
 Distinguished Service Cross cita- ton:
 Michael Boiko, former sergeant 102nd Inf, 26th Division: For ex- ceptional heroism in action at Marcheville, September 26, 1918. When the advance of his company was temporarily halted by machine gun fire, Sergeant Boiko volunteered to flank the nest and put the guns out of action. Although under in- tense fire, Sergeant Boiko utterly disregarding his own personal dan- ger, crawled out from the lines and worked his way to a favorable po- sition where enfilade fire could be delivered and with his pistol si- fenced the guns, capturing them and portion of the enemy gun crews, thus enabling his company to make further advance"
 The Silver Star Citation:
 For gallantry in action near Bois di Ormont north of Verdun, Octo- Der 23rd, and October 29, 1918.'
 The Purple Heart Citation:
 For wound in action July p, 1918.
 French Croix De Guerre With Palm:
 He always displayed the greatest bravery. On October 25, 1918 in the reine wood 'verdun' having taken command of the company when the officer was wounded, he continued to lead the attack until al his men wer either killed or disabled
 CorOner's Verdict
 But after the war Sergeant Boiko found himself in world which no longer wanted him. Partly disabled not enough to receive compensation sufficient to support himself his wife and child, but disabled enough to prevent his obtaining employment in these hard years, he could see but one way out. His death would at least give his wife and child the

benefit of his small amount of in- Surance.
 The coroner's verdict was suicide.
 The Veterans Administration con- siders suicide misconduct and re- fuses pension to the widow of the veteran in such cases.
 MT. Speaker, the service of this nation. the defense of his adopted country, caused the death of Ser geant Boiko just as though 1t had occurred on one of the many battle fields where he fought so bravely If the Interpretation of the present law will not allow the payment oi pension to his dependents the law or its interpretation must be chang. ed 50 that relief will be granted in these cases.

Mrs. Michael Boika, widow of ono of Waterbury's outstanding World war heroes who was buried earlier this week in Arlington National cemetery in Washington, D. C., may receive 8 federal pension. Con- greSSman J. Joseph Smith of Water bury, Ion the floor of the House in Washington yesterday, pointed to the outstanding record of Sergeant Michael Boiko, the fact that he was surpassed by none in bravery and devotion to duty during the World war and that his remains now lie in the cemetery reserved for nationally outstanding figures and heroes.
 Pension Urged
 Sergeant Boiko's death, asserted Congressman Smith, was caused by the injuries sustained mentally and physically by him on the field of battle. Therefore, he stated the widow of the hero should be grant, ed pension. His statement on the floor of the national house of rep- resentatives follows:
 MT. Speaker, and members of the house, yesterday there was buried in Arlington National Cemetery one of the greatest heroes of the late war, Sergeant Michael Boiko. He was not so very well known as some others, perhaps, but was surpassed by none in bravery and devotion to duty.
 Born in Russia, Sergeant Boiko came to this country as a youth and enlisted in our National Guard be- fore he had finally qualified for citi- zenship. He served on the Mexican border in 1916 with the Connecticut National Guard, and went to France with his unit then part of the 26th division in September 1917.
 Outstanding Bravery
 Through all the major engage ments up to the armistice the divi- sion fought and through it all the bravery of Sergeant Boiko stands out. In one advance he volunteered to attempt to silence a machine gun nest which was holding up the advance of his company, and crawl ing forward alone under heavy fire, he put the nest out of action al- though armed only with his pistol.
 On another occasion in an ad- vance after all his officers were killsd or disabled he took command of his company and continued to ad- vance until there were left alive

admitted as evidence over strenu- ous objections by the defense attor- ney, among the objections being one that the girl did not know she was dying when she signed the two statements and when she testified to the coroner.
