Realizes That he Must Suffer the Death Penalty. Will be Sentenced on Tuesday Unless an Appeal is Taken. Guisseppi Fuda,wife murderer, whose conviction of murder in the first degree by a jury‘in the criminal superior court was announced yesterday afternoon, is a changed man to-day. From the in- different air he carried during the trial He had been transformed into a penitent and broken-hearted man. While the preliminaries for the trial of his companion, N icodemo- Imapassino, were in progress in the same court room where he was condemned to die, Fuda paced the floor of his cell, mut- tering in his native tongue. At times he would sink upon his cot and big tears would roll down his cheeks. Fuda realizes that his time has come and has been given to understand that only a successful appeal from the charge of Judge Wheeler by his coun- sel, can save him from the death pen- alty. He did not realize the import- ance of the verdict at the conclusion of the trial and this accounted for the continued stolid expression that con- trolled his features. After he had been taken into Sheriff Hawley’s pri- vate room. Interpretdr Daniel Delia conversed with him. He told the prisoner that the jury had returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree and that the penalty would be death. Fuda lowered his head for a second and then in a tone of voice, peculiar to the prisoner, looked up and said, “For what?” No further discus- sion ensued and the prisoner was taken to jail. He appeared unaffected but when supper was served he ate but little. It was shortly after darkness set in that the first signs of breaking down were noticed. He began to pace his cell restlessly and finally broke down and cried bitterly. There was no one present who could converse with him and he was left to cry undis- turbed. He looks 10 years older. State’s Attorney Fessenden will move for sentence on Tuesday. Unless an appeal is filed he will be sentenced on that day. AAA THE CAsKET SMALL. But Mr. Richardson’s Wishes Were Faith- fully Carried Out. The funeral of Joseph Richard son, the millionaire, took place yesterday morning from the Central Baptist church in New York city.

Jenkins. The remains were enclosed in a cof- fin which Mr. Richardson had built for himself thirty-two years ago from the timber of a tree that had been cut down by his orders on his farm near Bridge- .port, Conn. The undertaker found that the coffin was too small and it was taken apart and the sides, top and bot- tom screwed to the interior of a casket, and the wishes of the deceased carried out in that manner.

When the court Opened yesterday morning Imapassino appeared excited and worried. The charge against him . was interpreted by Louis E. Richards of Bridgeport, and he pleaded not guil- ty. All during the examinatihn of jur- ors, he evinced a deep interest in the proceedings. His attorney, Mr. Chamberlain, moved a change of venue as he was of the Opinion that under the circumstan- ces the accused could not be given a fair trial owing to the case. In replying to the motion, Mr. Fes- senden said: “I fear the gentleman has misapprehended the public sentiment. II’don’t think that any juror will be af- fected by his neighbors. _ As far as transferring the case to New Haven, we would meet with the same condition in regard to sentiment. The newspa- pers in all parts of the state have print- ed the story of the triaL I believe that 12 honest jurors can try the case fairly. Judge Wheeler said that he did not believe that much of a prejudice exist- ed in the minds of a class of men who u u I would be selected as jurors, owmg to the fact that the accused was of Italian birth and not American. He did not believe that sufficient reason could be shown why the case should be removed from the county. The court suggested jokingly that the case could not escape the present conditions, unless, perhaps, that an adjournment was taken to the I country, in Litchfield county, for in' stance. Judge Wheeler believed, how- ever, that the difficulty might be over- come by an adjournment to Danbury. State’s Attorney Fessenden and Mr. Chamberlain both agreed to this and it was decided to secure a panel first and settle the matter definitely later. At this point the men summoned for examination were called into the court , Evenin N ORWALK, CON N., SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 12, 1897. accepted him provisionally. So were George B.

PRE3T0_,_c_HANGET Joseph McNamara Scoots with a $l0 Bill Belonging to “Gus” Fields. He is Apprehended in Bridgeport and Brought Back to South Norwalk. Yesterday afternoon, “Gus” Fields who conducts a saloon On Day street South Norwalk, had occasiOn to change A a ten dollar bill. Not having the necessary amount to spare from the cash drawer, he gave the bill to Joseph McNamara and told him to go some- where and get small bills for the same. “Joe” took the bill, and shot up the street with the speed of' a bicycle scorcher. ' “But he didn’t come back,” says “Gus” who advised the police of the young man’s elopement with the bill. Search was made for “Joe” with the result that it was learned that he had taken a train for Bridgeport. The po- lice of that city were advised of the theft by telephone and asked to appre- hend and hold the young man, a good description of him being furnished by. Chief Vollmer. This morning word was received that McNamara was under arrest and await- ing the disposition of the South N or- walk authorities. Chief Vollmer immediately detailed Officer Hall to go to Bridgeport and ere this reaches your eye “Joe” will probably be back in South Norwalk. It is understood that friends of the young man have made good Mr. Fields’ loss and that he will not insist on a prosecution. Mr. Fields’ experience, however, will no doubt have a tendency to cause him in the future to hesitate before placing a bill of any denomination in the hands of any person for the purpose of having it changed, for the chances are that it will be as in this case, Presto, change! and the bill is missing.

The Great Forepaugh—Sells Brothers Com- bined Parade Displays. It is absolutely safe to wager anything from a rhinoceros to a woodchuck that the highways and byways of Stam- . ford on Tuesday next will overflow with the crowds gathered from far and near, to see theunited morning street par- ades of the Great Forepaugh and Sells Brothers America’s Greatest Shows consolidated. The fact that either show has heretofore produced a public pageant of superb size and quality is generally known: and appreciated, and now that the two are combined, with the addition of many rich and novel displays, every household will want to be on hand and secure a front seat. The most superb band chariots ever built, the three greatest herds of big- gest elephants; Cleopatra’s sumptuous barge of state, which is an Egyptian ' revelation; a hundred or more prismatic chariot cages, Mother Goose golden tableaux, and Fairyland cars, a great menagerie of rare wild beasts in colos- sal,open and performing dens,hundreds of noblest and most elegantly Capari- soned horses and ponies, cohorts and battalions of principal performers and, participants in radient armor and re- splendent dress; an Asiatic caravan of giant camels and dromedories, and ac- cessories of the most lavish kind, are among the sensational features, more' than sufficient to furnish an eye feast for the million. And low excursion rates will give everyone a cheap and convenient opportunity to take it all in. The city council: will meet next Mon— day evening. The Catholic club ball tossers will practice at Norwalk Park, this after- noon. - Clinton Commandery, K. T. conferred the Temple degree last night.
