INDIGT ITALIAN GUNMEN TOMORROW Trial May Open in Superior Court Next Week John DiVanzo and Steve Dugone, the two New York Italians charged with the murder of Raffaele Simonelli on Chestnut street early Tuesday eve- ning, will be brought before the grand jury for indictment: tomorrow, ac- cording 'to Prosecuting Attorney Geo. ‘W. Klett. The prisoners were taken to Hartford yesterday on a bench war- rant asked by State’s Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn and tomorrow the state’s attorney will ask the grand jury to re- turn a bill of first degree murder against the two men. Have New Evidence. Local authorities, state policemen and Prosecutor Klett worked until late last night on this case and have suc- ceeded in uncovering a lot of addi- tional evidence which, it is intimated, may prove that both Dugone and Di- Vanzo were lying when they said that revenge for a murder alleged to have been committed by Simonelli in Italy 15 years ago was the cause of Tues- day night's tragedy. The authorities intimate that there will be a quantity of new and surprising evidence brought out, some of which may show that the two were gunmen hired to come here for the specific purpose of murdering Simonelli who was known to have had many enemies. The state also claims to have proof that both DiVanzo and Dugone shot Simonelli and both men will be charged with murder. Although the authorities as- sert that the names given the police by the accused are only allases, they do not state what other names they are known by and it is possible that they are well known criminals. If the grand jury brings in a true bill of murder against the two men they will probably be arraigned for trial next week in the superior court, Prosecutor Klett states. According ta a statement issued by Prosecutor Klett this morning the au- thorities have satisfled themselves as to the actions of the two gunmen im- mediately following the shooting. He says that they stood in ambush be- hind the big tree on Chestnut street and after shooting their victim ran east to Stanley street. From the cor- ner of Chestnut street they went south to Park street extension where they i cut down the street and finally made iheir way to South street, near the Gulf Refining company. At the cor- ner of South and South Main streets “hey boarded an in-bound trolley car, leaving it near the Grammar school, From here they are said to have walked up Walnut street, made their way across Walnut Hill park and fi- nally took a Meriden bound car at the Black Rock power station. On the out- skirts of Meriden they left the trolley and walked into town where they en- gaged the jitney to take them to New York. Incidentally, it is stated that the jitney driver was paid in full, $32, by DiVanzo, before he started on what was supposed to be their trip to New York but which ended abruptly in New Taven when the two men were ar- rested. As yet the authorities have not def- initely determined what caliber bul- lets it waos that killed Simonelli. Neither have they located the revol- vers with which the shooting took place. 'The supposition is that the two men either threw away their guns or passed them on to some unknown confederates. INSISTS ON CELEBRATION. Drafted Man Writes to Mayor Asking For Send Of. Although Mayor Quigley has re- ceived several letters and telephone messages protesting against giving another public demonstration when the next batch of men for the Na- tional Army leaves, today he received 'his first letters voicing approval of such a celebration. One of the men included in the next contingent writes that he hopes a celebration will be given the men and he advises sending them away with a smile. As yet no decision has been reached as to the celebration. Mayor Quig- ley says he does not care but wants to do what the people wish. “It's up to the exemption board to decide,” he states, “It’s not up to the exemption board to decide.

The consumption of water as the meters show for the six months end- ing June 1917 was: Factories, 57,- 207,000 cubic feet; domestic consum- ers, 41,691,100 cubic feet; making a total of 98,899,000 cubic feet. Re- duced to gallons this would be 714,- 742,600, which divided by 182 days shows the consumption daily to be 4,075,600 gallons. Assuming the popu- lation to be 55,000, this would make the per capita consumption about 75 gallons. The increase in the per capita from last year is caused by the increased consumption of the facto- ries, which amounts to over 12,000,- 000 cubic feet more than December 1916. Following is the consumption for each six months since the meter rate was adopted: Factories: June, December, 1913, 1914, 43,254,500; 39,576,100; June, 1918, 50,060,000; 49,334,100; June, December, 1914, 1915, 41,003,900; December, 1916, 47,275,800; June, 1916, 43,5697,900; December, 1916, 45,193,900; June, 1917, 57,207,900. Domestic use: June, 1913, 43,126,- 800; December, 1913, 41,376,700; June, 1914, 41,882,500; December, 1914, 38,694,200; June, 1915, 36, 989,200; December, 1915, 39,952,700; June, 1916, 39,475,900; December, 1916, 41,736,200; June, 1917, 41,691,- 100.

Sec’y Barnes Receives Letter of Praise From One Who Knows That the work which the Y, M. C. A. associations are undertaking throughout the country to make life more pleasant for the men at differ- ent camps is not going unrecerded is shown in a letter received by Gen- era] Secretary Barnes of the local or- ganization. The letter was written by Private John S. Dittmar, 84th Co., 6th Regt.,, now stationed at Camp Quan- Va. In his letter Dittmar is high in his praise of all that the Y. M. C. A. has done to make the sol- diers’ life more pleasing to bear. He also gives especial praise to the men and accessories that the association has provided for the boys. Following is the letter: Quantico, Va., Sept. 9, 1917, To the Y. M. C. A. of New Britain. Kind friends: I can not help but feel that, if I left our country for for- eign soil without thanking the Y. M. C. A. of your town for what it has done to make us happy, it simply would he one great regret of my life. Everytime I sit down now to write letters, I can’t help but think of the wonderful work the Y. M. C. A. is doing for the soldlers, they have pro- vided stationery, books, checks, chess, pianos, victrolas, also teachers who are doing their utmost to teach the American soldiers the French lan- guage' so that they will be able to speak to their allies when they cross the ocean. Your secretaries here are the finest type of men that I have seen for some time. They are so pleasant, so kind and so willing to do all that they can to make us happy. They labor hard all day taking care of the thousands of men who come into this building every day. Your physical director is surely some man, and he is full of activity; goes from early morn until it is too dark to see. One Saturday he hegan to play indoor baseball early in the morning. That afternoon I came back and he was hard at it again and, to my surprise, he was still playing after supper as hard as ever. We all think he is some man, Your other men are just as active and much credit is due them, and us boys surely do appreciate it. Your picture shows are fine, and I wish you gentlemen could be here and see us. You could see for your- self. I wish much success to the Y. M. C. A. in the coming years, and that they will grow more and more and some day be the largest organization in the country. Again I thank you for the privileges I have enjoyed here. I remain a booster, PRIVATE JOHN S. DITTMAR, Quantico, Vt. 84th Co., 6th Regt., United States Marine Corps. SPEEDY DELIVERY. Our Manufacturers Turning Out Rifles At a Rapid Rate.
