Youth's Record Is Bad Billadella was committed to the Boy's School at Meriden for assault upon a young girl on September 11, | 1924, and later paroled and was ar- for theft from St. Joseph's church here. He was again paroled and the | past few weeks had served as a sub | for his step-father as watchman at | the empty factory of the New Eng- land Pin Company. The Bordino girl disappeared while on her way home a week ago Saturday after she had bought two flower pots in a down town store. She had to pass by the pin factory and over the bridge which spans Mad river. The police in their in- ouiry had become convinced that the girl had dropped out of sight in the vicinity of the factory and Officer Alton Smith even searched the place becauvse of suspicion which attached to young Billadella. Death By Strangulation, According to the police Billadella has confessed that he killed the girl by strangulation after getting her into the factory and pulled a sack over her head and tied her legs to- gether. He hid the bundle in a coal bin. The recovery of the body was brought about after Billadella had been scen to throw a bundle into the swamp. The fate of the girl was quickly revealed. Patrick V.

Bowley Says Appli- cations of Saint's Wristbone Dur- Where Doctors Failed. Mrs. Agnes C. Bowley of 56 Win- throp street, this city, claims to have been cured during the past week of a case of leakage of the heart through application of the relic of | St. Anne during the novena at St Joseph's church, Bristol. Mrs. Bowley is said to have been treated by four New Britain physicians for the ailment without any beneficial jresult. Mrs. Bowley notified Rev. Olivec T. Magnell, pastor of the Bristol | church, of her cure and at the same {time stated that she had been cured ago. She stated that since she had the relic applied she has been exam- ined by another physician in_ New | Britaln who declared that her heart | |was now normal without any signs | |of the malady being apparent. Mrs. Bowley was not at home to- day when a reporter called but her | father, James B. Madden of 56 Win- throp street, stated that she had |been suffering from the ailment for a number of years.

This will be done at the request of Father Magnell in Bristol who always cautlons the claimant of {a cure to leave no stone unturned to find out the reality of a cure. Rev.

Sposato, a republican, was placed in charge of the yards when Joseph {F. Ryan, democrat, resigned at the request of the board of public works.

A small truck in which Sposato’s brother-in-law had a | monetary interest had been in use iprior to the wrangle. Sposato has i been quoted as laying the cause of | bad feeling to the fact that Mills, following out a threat, caused the {truck to be taken off and another | put on, the second truck being one to be put in the city service. The Mills truck is now in use, it is said, | working out of the city storeyard. | This assignment is considered to be | the most desirable given to trucking contractors and is the one formerly i held by Sposato’s brother-in-law. | According to Sposato, Mills in the iheat of a discussion over trucking | business, declared: “I'll take that truck of yours off the job.” “How are you going to take the | truck off the job? You have noth- {ing to do with it,” Sposato declares | he replied. “All right, having shot back, be taken off tomorrow." Mills is quoted as foreman, Sposato had been responsi- ble for keeping the time of trucks and from his schedule the compensa- tion for automobiles has been made | up.

Beside the king's grave is the tomb of Car- men Sylvia—Queen Elizabeth—for whom Marie has often openly ex- pressed dislike. When the ceremonies had ended, the queen, speaking to correspond- ent for the Associated Press, refer- red to the tomb waiting to receive her some day. “Of course, as queen,” she said, “the state and church authorities will bury me at Curtea, but it I could gratify my own heart's desire, I would like to rest at a spot which I have fancied as the meeting point between the east and west and thus end my reign as queen of my belov- ed Rumznia.
