TA SPEEQL TRIAL.
Fuda and Imapassino, the two Ital-
ians held for the murder of Fuda’s wife
11 East Norwalka few weeks ago, will
undoubtedly be tried at the present
’ term of the criminal superior court, as
a warrant to summons a grand jury to
consider the case was placed in the
hands of Sheriff Hawley Saturday.
The jury will be summoned for 10 a. in.
Tuesday. This proceeding would
seem to indicate that the two men will
be brought before the court on a bench
warrant,without the formality of a pre-
liminary hearing.
There has been some talk of a conflict
of authority as to where a. preliminary
hearing might take place if one should
be held; but there is no ground on
which to base such a supposition. As
the crime was not committed in Stam-
ford, the authorities of that town have
no jurisdiction. One paper has stated
that the case came under the jurisdic-
tion of the city of South Norwalk, but
this is a misleading statement, as the
place where the crime was committed
is not in the city limits of either of the
Norwalks, consequently a preliminary
hearing would be under the jurisdic-
tion of the town authorities. But, as
before stated, there will be no oppor-
tunity for a question of jurisdiction to
be raised, the superior court authori-
ties will avoid that by a bench warrant
and bring the tWO men to a speedy
trial.
It was reported that the two men
were to be brought to South Norwalk
g- or a preliminary hearing on Saturday,
(and a great crowd of people were at the
I? depot, about police headquarters and
on South Main street, but the men did
; not appear much to the crowd’s dis-
appointment. ,
Fuda does not speak English under-
lstaudingly. Consequently he has had
I very little to say since his confinement
‘ at .Stamford. His alleged accomplice,
Imapassino speaks the English lan-
guage fairly fluently and can be under
stood with ease. To several of the of-
:ficers he has told the story of the mur-
der. He blames everything to Fuda
I and says that Fuda committed the deed.
He had twoheasons for leaving Stam-
ford. One was that he had promised
Fade to say nothing of the matter and
the second that he was out of work and
leftSouth Norwalk in search of some.
His story is told straightforwardly and
questioning does not weaken it in the
least. Fuda’s statements are not so
well told. This may be due to his im-
perfect knowledge of English.
It is said that the state has secured
evidence that will be conclusive in the
matter of establishing guilt. but what
that evidence is,will not be made known
until the trial takes place.

FOUND TRUE BILL.
Guiseppe Fuda and Nicodemo Im-
apassino, the alleged murderers of the
farmer’s wife, at East N orwalk on Feb-
ruary 15, will have to answer to the
charge of murder in the first degreebe-
fore the present session of the criminal
Superior court for the grand jurors,
after a deliberation extending from 11
o’clock in the morning until yesterday
afternoon at 5 o’clock, found a true bill
of murder in the first degree against
both men.
The grand jury acting Tuesday was
one of the best and most intelligent
that has ever graced the jury box in the
Superior court room and when they
brought in their finding it was in the
opinion of all present that it was war-
ranted and that the evidence was care-
fully sifted and due deliberation given.
The jury consisted of the following:
George E. Hill and Emory F. Strong
of Bridgeport; John H. Ferris and
Tallmadge Baker of N orwalk; Stiles
Judson, Sr., and R. L. Clarkson of
Stratford; B. C. Tousey of Trumbull;
Stephen T. Palmer of Huntington;
Walter R. Hartshorn of Fairfield; Wil-
son M. Reynolds of Newtown; Elmer
H. Northrop and W. B. Roe of Brook-
field; Charles S. Andrews and B. E.
C wperthwait of Danburv; S. 3. Am-
b er and Phi‘lo Gilbert of Bethel: Galen
A. Carter, Sn, and Lerah Miller of
Stamford. 1
It was not without discussion hard
and prolonged that the jurors present-
ed their finding to Judge Torrance.
The case was mysterious in many re-
spects and the evidence ' submitted, al—
though making a chain almost impossi-
ble to break,was not entirely satisfactory
to all thejurors. This is plainly evident
by the time required to reach a decision.
In regard to Fuda there was hardly a
shadow of doubt as to his guilt. The
evidence proved this conclusively. The
source of the argument was not with
Fuda, but with his friend, Imapassino.
Complicity in the crime was also
nearly conclusively established by the
evidence. The question to be decided
and which took so long was the degree
in which Imapassino was implicated in
the crime. For a long time no sort of
an argument could be made and it was
not until further directions had been
given by Judge Torrance that the true
bill was found against him.
After the roll call of the jurors, Clerk
Haviland asked Foreman George E
Hill if he had any report to make.
Foreman Hill said: “In the case of
Fuda, yes; in the case of the other we
have no report.” Mr. Hill was request-
ed to pass the report to Sheriff Heisler,
who in turn passdd it to Judge Tor-
rance who glanced at it and said: “In
the case of Fuda the indorsement is a
true bill."
At first the report could not be un-
derstood and developments were await-
ed with expectancy. Judge Torrance
turned an inquiring look toward the
jurors and asked if there was any point
on which they desired to be enlightened
in the case of Imapassino.
“We would like instruction as to the
precise distinction between the two de-
grees, first and second,” said Mr. Hill. _
Judge Torrance complied with the
request. He read the statute relating
to murder of the first and of the secbnd
degree. He explained that first degree
murder was by using poison, laying in
wait, premeditated, deliberated, in case
of robbery, burglary, injury to the
person in which explosives were used
with results fatal and several like ways.
Murder in the second degree was mur-
der committed in anyother way than
those mentioned.
“This was a murder of the kind de-
scribed in the statute,” said Judge Tor-
rance. “Now then,if the otherlprison-
er was implicated; if the evidence tends
to showcomplicity in the crime, it is
for you to find whether it was for him
a premeditated act, to warrant your
finding first degree murder. If the
evidence tends to show that he was an
accomplice, it remains with you to de-
cide whether it was premeditated by
him, It is for you to say whether, for
him, it was a murder perpetrated by
poison,wilful, deliberate, premeditated,
etc. If the evidence tends to show so
as to convince you, fairly, that he was
an accomplice and you find that he
comes within the meaning of murder in
the first degree as defined in this
statue, then your duty is clear; you
should find a true bill. It isl‘or you to
say whether he is connected With it
enough to make it a deliberate,
premeditated murder. If you find that
he. was an accomplice and ought to be
held for trial, you ought to find a true
in”. Of course, it Will be your duty to
find a true bill or not a true bill. I
think that is all. You may be excused.
The jury retired. They were out for
30 minutes and returned with a true biil
for murder in the first degree against
Imapassmo. '
Attornev John J. Cuneo, of South
Norwalk, Fuda’s counsel, made a mo-
tion for a preliminary hearing of the
men before some magistrate of the
lower court in the town where the mur-
der was committed. The protest Was
called out by the requests of State At-
torney Fessendeii that the court issue
bench Warrants for the arrest of the
men.
Attorney Cuneo, who by the way is
a very young man, albeit he was a
trifle nervous yesterday, made a bright
plea for the preliminary hearing. He
said in substance: “It seems to me
that circumstances didn’t. warrant the
the using of a bench warrant. Your
honor well knows that the life and
death ofa person oftentimes depends
upon the ability of his counsel. I be-
lieve that Fuda,if allowed a preliminary
hearing, would establish his innocence.
I do not think that it is fair that he
should be brought before the Superior
court. I think apreliminary hearing
should be given him at the place where
thecrime was committed. Of course,
there is an exception to the ordinary
procedure of being brought before a
magistrate of a lower court, and that is
when the accused is a fugative from
jusmce. That, the prisoner was not and
1 do not think that his case comes
under the provisions of that excel t on.
- Judge Torrance denied the motion.
He stated that the issuing of the bench
warrants was necessary. He thought
that it would be far better for the men. '
In regard to time, the court was of the
opinion that plenty of time would be
given for the preparation of the case.
He said in explanation: "You under-
stand that with a preliminary hearing
th'e matter would go before the grand
jury, as it has done to-day. They have
already considered the oaseand do not
need to do so again. They will have a
fair trial and the best legal talent pos-
sirle will be secured to defend them.
I think that it is for the benefit of mar
client that I overrule the motion."
i Stiles Judson, jr., was appOinted to
defend Fuda, in collaboration With At-
torney Cuneo, and Attorney John C.
Chamberlain was appointed to take care
of Imapassino interests. _
The cases of the. accused were this
morning carried over to the May term
of the court.

' A may AGE;
Horace Staples,Westport’s'most aged
citizen and philanthropist, entered into
rest on Saturday afternoon «in the
ninety-sixth year of his age. At the time
of his death, he was acknowledged to
be the oldest National Bank President
in the United States, he having been
continued in that responsible position
from the organization of the Westport
Bank. In early life and several years
prior to his majority, he was a school
teacher, having taught in the district
schools of Weston, Greenfield Hill, and
we believe,of Fairfield. He had strong
and distinctive qualities of head and
heart. He was the soul of honor and
integrity.
the animosities of enemies, he was very
apt to be over indulgent and generous
to friends.
He worshiped the good name and at-
tractiveness of his town and gloried in
whatever contributed to its prosperity.
No citizen has ever done as much as he,
forWestport’s Educational and material
advancement. His gift and endow-
ment of the Staple’s High school, is a
most fitting monument to our departed
friend’s life, character and memory.
No sculptured stone or storied urn
could so securely transmit to succeed-
ing generations, the worth and rich
legacy, and the greatful memory with
which such a benefaction, has em-
balmed his name.
At the late funeral of Major General
Couch, despite the severe weather,
there appeared in ‘the vestibule of St.
Paul’s church to the surprise of every
one, the trembling form of this aged
man, all' too eager to look for the last
time upon the cold face of his kins-
man and life-long friend. All who wit-
nessed the pathetic incident, must have
thought of the very short space of time,
when these two noble friends would be
rejoined in the celestial world. That
votion, no doubt tended to hasten the
union in the better world of these two
“nature’s noblemen,” ”whose hearts
beat as one.”
To those who are to come after him,
the deceased has set a rare example of
a long life of industry, frugality, honest
delving and public benefactions. Even
at his greatly advanced age, the late
afternoon of his unusually prolonged
life, has been serene and filled with
far more sunshine than cloud.
Aged patriot, philanthropist, godly
man, good citizen and more than half
century warm and cherished friend-—
“peace .to thy ashes”—and grateful
homage to thy memory.

The meeting of two brothers, after a
separation of thirty years, {took place
at the Soldiers’ Homeat Noroton, yes-
terday afternoon. It was a great sur-
prise to both, as each believed the other
dead. The joy of both at meeting
brough \tears to the eyes of the two
men and as they wrung each other’s '~
hand there was many a moistened eye
in the company 0f old soldiers present
at the time.
AlonzovF. Swords and Walter Swords
were brothers and when the call to
arms came at the Opening of the Rebel-
lion they were middle aged men, but
both responded and enlisted. .Alonzo
joined the 8Ih Connecticut regiment
and_Wa1ter enlisted in the 17th in a
company made up from Bridgeport.
At the close of the war both men were
honorably discharged and went out in-
to life again to fight the battle of life.
After the war the brothers met once
or twice at intervals. Then they drift-
ed apart and lost all track of each other.
The years passed and both grew to be
Old men and dependent, and several
months ago Walter was admitted to the
Soldiers’ Homd. ,
For several years past Alonzo Swords
,‘has made his home in the» town of Mon- ,
roe and recently applied for admission
to the Soldiers’ Home.
Yesterday when he reached that in-
stitution he little realized the surprise
in store for him. At the surgeon’s ' of-
fice when inquiry was made as to his
name and he answered “Alonzo
Swords,” that official said:
“Why, we have a man here by that
name already ? Is he a relative of
yours?”
No, I guess not,” replied the new-.
comer. “All my people are dead and
gone.”
Just then the long lost brother came
down the corridor,
"Hello, Swords." Come here,” called
the surgeon.
The man wearing the uniform of blue
of the home walked slowly down the
corridor and saluting the surgeon, said:
” What’s wanting, sir ?”
He had not looked at the newcomer
up to that time, but when he did and
his gaze had rested on him for a mo-
ment there Was a look of recognition
in his face and he reached out his hand
toward the man and cried out:
“Lon, my brother My God, I thought
you dead long ago.”
The new comer was taken by surprise
but it took him but a moment to see
that it was his brother whom he had
not seen for nearly thirty years and
whom he had mourned as dead.
Those in the surgeop’s ofllce quietly
withdrew and left the twe men standing
' . close to each other, still holding hands.
Now two men, both having nearly
reached the allotted time for those of
this earth, each wearing the blue uni-
form emblematic of the serVice they
gave to their country when in the prime
of life, live together in happiness and
contentment, brothers united after
years of absence. -
Alonzo and Walter Swords, who met
yesterday for the first time in thirty
years, are brothers of William H.
Swords, of South Nbrwalk, who is seri-
ously ill at his home on South Main
street. and. are both well known in town.
