An Italian ShotThrough the Heart in Stamford. The Murderer Escaped but Was $00.: Captured. An Italian murder took place on Pacific street, Stamford, about 8 o’clock Sunday night, and another tragedy is addedto Fail-field County’s long list. The victim was Filomina Creatuera, a railroad laborer, aged about 22, who was , 'shot through the heart and died as he Was being taken to the hospital. The case is mysterious, inasmuch as no motive for the crime can be learned. The murderer is afruit and vegetable peddler named Decarra. The scene of the murder was in the Italian quarter, and there are many conflicting stories told relative to it, but the most coherent one was gleaned from a companion of the murdered man, Jose Saguello, who was also a fellow workman. According to Saguello’s story, both he and Creatuero had been working at Harlem river all day and returned to their home on Bishop street shortly be' fore 6 o’clock. After supper they went out fora stroll and were walking up Pacific street when they met several men in front of a house. Saguella says he was a few feet ahead of his com- panion and did not hear him accosted, but he heard a shot fired, and, turn- ing, saw Decarra holding the smoking revolver. He seized his hand, but De- carra threatened to shoot him also if he did not let go, and then with two other companions the murderer ran away. The police were notified as soon as possible and. an ambulance sum- moned, but the wounded man died while being taken to the hospital. As soon as the police could obtain any definite clue to work upon they obtained track of Decarra and traced him to a house near the wire mills at Stillwater in the northern part of the town. When Officer Hickey entered the house Decarra heard him coming and at once divined the nature of the officer’s errand. Decarra. did not propose to' 'be ar- rested if he could help it, and made a break for liberty. He‘ knew that an attempt to escape through a door would be useless, so he bolted through a window. But Oflicer Hickey was 'wide awake and did not propose to let his man escape. Decarra had no sooner got through the window than Officer Hickey was right at his heels and shouted to an officer who was on watch outside to look out for the fleeing murderer. The warning was heeded and Decarra after running about 50 yards or so was brought to bay. He made some show of resistance, but was quickly convinc- ed that his efforts would be useless against the two officers and surrender- ed. He was then takeu to Stamford and locked up. He stoutly denied all knowledge of the shooting of Creatuero, but refused to talk about the matter beyond that. .edby Saguello and a young woman as the one who did the shooting. -——-——<0.0>—-—-——~ —PIIIIIIIFEIlIIIS P’IIIlSE —FOR—— He was positively identi- IIEPIIBLIGMIS MID DEMOCRATS!

A decision was handed down by Judge George W.

The testimony showed that the floor- ing of the bridge was defective and Poyvez fell through, fracturing his leg at the ankle. He was unable to work for a long time and has not yet fully recovered from the injury. The court found that the town was guilty of negli- gence in not keeping the bridge in proper repair and awarded the plaintiff the above amount.

Will he a, decided Conven- ience for Southport People ' Time wm he Saved in Shipping Freightto New 'York. A gang 0f Workman from New Ha- velihvorked all day yesterday, filling inithe gr0und across from the South- port freight depot, which is to be used as a freight yard. The work is to be done every Sunday until it is filled in sufficiently to put in a side track and the work will be carried on every day, until it is finished. This will be wel- come news to merchants and farmers whey ship goods and produce to New York, for it will save a great deal of time. _ ' p The way that freight- is shipped to New York now is quite a roundabout system. First it goes to Bridgeport, wt... it is left in the freight yard un- tilatrain is made up and then it is taken to New York, arriving there about 12 hours after it leaves South- port. The'idea of the new freight yard is to save all this delay of shipping to Bridgeport. , The cars that are to be taken to‘New York will be left in the new yard, and will be taken to New York direct by the first way freight. The new yard will be one of thelarg- est between Bridgeport and South Ndrwalk. Southport has needed such a convenience for a long time and it will be very welcome news. A new driveway is being constructed leading into the Solmans’ livery stable at;South Norwalk. L. , .. TH E B 08 T9 young man who might have been her. KISSED THE WRONG MAN.- Danbury Girl’s Mistake Causes Excite- ment at Railroad Station. An amusing little incident in which a very much embarrassed young woman and a blushing man were the principal figures accurred at the White street station, in Danbury, just before the 9:48 train left for New York Sunday morning. A very pretty girl who wore the latest thing in a tailor made gown was standing near the corner of the long platform and at her side was a. lover. It was not important to describe him as he played only the minor part of a very mad fellow. . Close by the couple was a well known young Danbury professional man. The young woman’s escort stepped back to light a cigar and a baggage truck brush- ed by half a momentglater and to avoid it the professional man stepped towards the young woman, until he was almost at her side. The train made a great roar as it came in but above its noise came a feminine shriek and an “ Oh, 1 beg your pardon.” . , Passengers who heard the shriek and the exclamation, turned in time to 'see the young lady. disengage her arms from the neck of the Danbury profes-> sional man and turn towards her escort w1th cheeks the color of her jacket: lining. - She had kissed the wrong man. The mistake came about because the escort and the professional man had unwitv tingly exchanged places for the second. .. It happened that the pretty girl and: the professional man sat opposite each} other in the car. on the trip to South Norwalk. Not Seriously Hurt. Alittle girl named Hyatt was run down by a bicycle ridden by Moses Glover, on.Wall street this noon. Fort- unately she escaped with a slight cut on her lipfi Mr. Glover quickly dis- mounted and had the victim of the accident prescribed for at the corner drug-store. .nE ACCEPTS. J. Alliert Richardson’s Letter of A'c-' ceptance; The following is the full text of the acceptance of J. Albert Richardson as the Democratic nominee for Senator from the Thirteenth Senatorial district: “Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Thirteenth Senatorial District: “ With pleasure and hearty appreci- ation I accept the great honor and re- sponsibility of being the party’s nomi'-' nee for state senator of this district. I realize keenly the honor that this nomination confers on the chosen "can- , didate, that while it. confers an honor it carries with it deep responsibility and much hard work, and I assure you and the voters of this district that in case of my election their rights shall be conserved—“not sold and bargained to Corporate power and greed, tosuh— serve any personal desire in personal aggrandizement. ” “I most heartily endorse our state Democratic platform, and will ar- dently and earnestly work for the- application of those principles of statemenship and civil policy as set forth, and which I fully believe will commend themselves to the larger intelligence of National issues as the statements contained therein are enunciated in so broad and liberal a manner that all those who- profess and. believe in the triumph- ant success of the grand old party of J eterson, throughout, the Union, State and Country can stand on them. Its embodiment of national issues will add many a glorious record in the future to the past achievements that stand as the buttresses of the Democratic party, in which are con- tained the elements of sound govern- ment, ‘ the rights of the people and the prosperity of all.’ Once again, thank- ing you for your consideration, I. sin- cerely ask and seek the support of those who believe in good government.” Respectfully yours, J.
