THE DEFENSE news. Fuda To Take The sand To- day in His Own Behalf. The Dead Woman’s Character Attacked by Witnesses for Defense. To-day will ie the most interesting day of the Fuda murder trial. Guis- Seppa Fuda, who is accused of the mur- der of his wife on the night of February 17 last will be put on the'witness stand. He would have been there yesterday afternoon, but for the fact that two of the jurymen were anxious to get home, The first witness Wednesday, was Francisco Pedulla, of New York. He knew huda and his wife. On the day following the murder Fuda called upon him and said that his wife had left him early that morning. He was willing to let her go. An employe of the Consolidated road, 'David B. Carey, was then called. He was the last witness for the state. His evidence corroborated that of previous witnesses. A copy of the time table used by the road last February was in- troduced as evidence. A recess of 15 minutes was then taken and at its close the defense opened its side of the case. Morris P. Saunders, of East Norwalk, was the first witness called. He did not take the oath, but was affirmed by Clerk Haviland. He testified that he lived a short distance from the scene of the murder. He was on the scene of the murder on the morning following the crime. He saw blood scattered about the track but saw no blood in the foot prints in the snow on the embankment. The line of the defense will be to show that Mrs. Fuda Was a woman of immor- al character who was intimate with Imapassino and when she tired of him it so enraged him that he made the revelations of the woman’s unfaithful- ness to her husband and together they planned the murder, but it was carried. out by Imapassino and Fuda was noth- ing more than an abettor. A number of witnesses were called yesterday who testified that Mis. Fuda was a woman of bad reputation in Italy, and that she was also immoral while residing with her husband in Stamford. An Italian named Salvatore Popula of Staten Island, confessed that he had improper relations with Mrs. Fuda. Other witnesses testified that Fuda was a peaceable man and that he had much trouble trying to keep harmony in the family. Salvatore Fuda declared that, Mrs. Fuda was a bad woman and he had heard that a boatman at New Ro- chelle had had improper relations with her. He had heard from others that Mrs. Fuda had solicited men. Attorney Cuneo was the last witness to be put on the stand yesterday after- noon. -He declared that one of the wit- nesses for the state had testified that Mrs. Fuda had been guilty of improper conduct with him, but the statement had been interpreted. At this point it was decided by At- torney Judson to call Fuda to the stand, but as some of the jurymen were obliged to leave early it was deferred until this morning. Much interest is manifested in what Fuda will have to say, many entertaining the opinion that he will place the responsibility for the crime on Imapassino. The Explosion Fatal. Thomas McCarty, employed at the Vorhis quarry in Greenwich was fatally injured yesterday afternoon while at- tempting to draw a blast that had missed fire. Several other workmen were seriously though not fatally injur- ed. There were six pounds of powder in the hole and McCarty had a portion of it removed when the explosion (took place. He was found in a hole, yards away with both eyes blown out and his hand Shattered and injured internally. A Painful Wound. While playing Wednesday afternoon, Mamie, the young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Wardwell, stepped upon a rake lying upon the ground and ran two of the prongs through her foot, making a painful wound. Prompt rem- edies were applied and the little suf- ferer is getting along as comfortably as can be expected. A? 4' Park City Theatre Sold. After two attempts the Hawes Opera 0 house block in Fairfield avenue Bridge- port, was auctioned off yesterday after- noon to Frank Miller for the sum of $67,000. The supposition is general that Henry H. Jennings will be the next manager of the house. Vv: —-All the successful Merchants of this City Advertise in THE GAZETTE. l mi minnows. Judge Roraback’s . Proposed Bill Will Revolutionize the Liquor Law. If Passed Norwalk Saloons Will be Reduced I ' » to Fifty: A matter of much concern to the citi- zens of the state and more particularly the proprietors of saloons and cafes will be settled by the General Assembly next Week, for on Wednesday the House, which is evidently preparing for the passage of a high liquor license bill, made the originalbill concerning this matter and its various amendments the special for next Tuesday. On Wednesday Judge Roraback in- troduced another amendment, as a sub- stitute for the one recently offered by him and explained that since he offered the first one he has given the matter more study and found it was not prac- ticable, and thereforeframcd the sub- stitute. This amendment has many meritorious clauses, although in its en- tirety it is aimed to reduce the liquor traffic. It provides that, exclusive of druggists, there may be granted in towns whose voting list is 4,000 orover, one license for every 100 population; in towns whose voting list is between 3,000 and 4,000, one license for every 150 population; in towns of less than 3,000 voters, one license for every 200 population. The price for each license in towns of over 4,000 voters shall not be less than $750, and the same rate in towns having between 3,000 and 4,000 voters; While not less than $400 Shall be paid as a fee in towns of less than 3,000 voters. The County commissioners may make a special fee for grocers’ licenses, pro- viding it is not less than $250. For the sale of ale, cider, ‘ beer and Rhine wines, commonly called a beer license, not less than $300. The amendment further pr ovides that no vote On the license question Shall be taken In towns of over 2, 500 population, and that it shall have no effect on the .4. ”ms/$333333) aimm (ti \/ mnmmmiuvmzxm The E VEN I .N G GA Z E T‘T E Tatterns, ' published in O fiwfifi be mailed to any address upon receipt of 10 cents. a 4 licenses already granted. In explaining the amendment, Judge Roraback said that should it pass the whole number of full licenses in New Haven, 412, would be reduced to 250; n Bridgeport from 293 to 140; Danbury from 120 to 51; Ansonia 47 to 13; Meri- den 91 to 64; N augatuck 60 to 10; VVal- lingford 26 to 10; Waterbury 157 to 90; New London 91 to 23; Norwich 82 to 55; Norwalk 57 to 50; Stamford 51 to 43; Hartford 216 to 150; and in order that the members of the House might study the bill, he moved that it be printed, and that the original bill and all amendments be made the special order for Tuesday.

AttorneyWalsh Proposes Makiig it Warm} ~ for Constable Lynch. William H. Turner came here from Merwinsville, last evening, accom- panied by his wife and two children, one of them an infant. . This morning they were at the office of Attorney John J. Walsh and had a grievance. Mr. Turner claims through his attorney that he is a victim of malicious prosecution. The story in simple is that Turner was employ ed by Mr. B. Bur chard and he claims that he was discharged with- out receiving the full amount of wages due him. He had his household belOngings packed up and ready for shipment to Merwinsville, in fact got a railroad re- cept for the same. ‘In the meantime Constable Charles Lynch placed an at- tachment on the furniture to cover a claim for groceries furnished by F. D. LawtOn & Co. ' The writ was issued at the instiga- tion of Attorney George A. Honnecker, and the furniture was held, much to the surprise of the owners. There seems to be a question as .to the legality of the seizure, and it is not improbable that Mr. Turner will bring a suit for damages against the constable or his bondsman. In the language of Mr. Walsh “it was a contemptible piece of business.” A A-.— Manager Hoyt’s Plans. Manager I. M. Hoyt is now in full possession of the Sterling opera house in Derby, having made his contract with that city.

A Lively Runaway Down Mill Hill This Noon. The large ice wagon of Ells & Co., made things lively on East Wall street at noon to-day. The horses had been left standing on East avenue while a delivery of ice was being made at Col. F. St. John Lock- wood’s. They suddenly took it into their heads to create a little excitement. and started on a dead run up the ave- .nue and down Mill Hill. James Toner’s wagon filled with fat stood opposite John Malone’s as the ponderous ice wagon drawn by the fly- ing steeds came down the street. There was a sudden crash and fat, bones, pieces of meat and wood flew in all di- rections covering the street and side- walk. , The team stopped but the Toner horse started on a run up Mill Hill with the shafts of the wagon, but gave it up before the top was reached and stopped. —-———<o.o>——— PERSONAL NOTES.

Members of the family were in full ac- cord With the rulings of the Judge. 7‘ - A Natty Boat. Charles Scofield’s new boat attracts more than ordinary attention moored or “ hung up ”as it is under the corner drug store building. The motive power is odd in the fact that the propulsion is gained by turning twin cranks located in the center of the boat. “The prin- ciple is all right,” said an onlooker, “ but I would much rather row.” The craft is natty, neat, nice and perhaps fast. <v> New Quarters.

The ”paying of debts is the surest road to ease of mind. Summer silks are very useful at the present time. The river: 1esorts are growing daily in popularity. June roses will be employed ‘in many bridal bouquets this month. It" Is to be regretted that long, heavy earrings are to be 1evived. The rose-pink parasol takes off ten years from many a woman’s age. A cushion in college colors is a com- mencement present any student would appreciate. - The season'is close at hand when a pail and shovel appears to be the acme combination of earthly bliss for juve: niles. If you are going traveling with your bicycle this summer, have a wicker cover made for it to prevent its getting scratched. Syringa blooms are being substituted by economical June brides for the more expensive orange blossoms, and they do not look half bad either. It will soon be the season when it is - - as well to restrain one’s ardor in the matter of petting stray canines. The English walking hat seems to be growing more popular daily. A woman’s friends call her diplomatic; her enemies say she is deceitful. To the woman fond of her small hands it may come as a severe blow to learn that bicycling develops hands as well as feet " - ‘ No woman will ever admit that she wore more than number two shoes when she was married. This is a standing fiction all shoe-makers undei stand and condone. Woman are sufficiently sentimental not to put in a heart-shaped‘frame the photograph of anyone in whom they are not specially interested. It is surprising with what ease ser- vants start a bank account, the while those who employ them are struggling to make both ends meet. In Germany the bridal wreath is usually formed of myrtle branches; in Switzerland and Italy, of white roses; in Spain, of red roses and pinks; in the United States, F1 ance and England, of orange blossoms.
