Hartford, June 26 (A—Frank Di Battista, who shot and killed 8amuel Kamaroff, a grocer, in his store on the night of April 1, while trying to hold him up and rob the cash reg- Ister, was found guilty of murder in the first degree this afternoon. Three superior court judges sat in Judgment as jury trial had been waived under the law. A date for execution was not set. Hartford, June 26 (UP)—Testi- money of Frank Di Battista, 25, in his trial before three judges for the alleged murder of Samuel Kamar- off, Hartford storckeeper, was in- terrupted today when the victim's widow, Mrs. Clara Kamaroff became hysterical. Di Battista, a dark little bow- legged man, had calmly recited his life history. Born in Italy, he came to America at the age of 9 and lived in Brooklyn and Newark, N. J. be- fore coming here, he said. In response to questions by his at- torneys, Di Battista said that on the night of April 1, his “pal,” Arthur Crapuli, told him he nceded money. “I'l see what I can do for you,' the defendant said he told Crapuli, and went out with a revolver to rob a store. After passing up several lighted and patronized stores, the witness recounted, he came to 116 Jefferson street, Kamaroff's grocery store. This wus empty, except for the proprietor, and dimly lighted, so Di Battista entered, he said. Widow Faints In Court At that moment Mrs. Kamaroff. sitting in the front of the court- room dressed in black, jumped to her feet screaming. She fainted in the arms of a detective and was carried outs The trial moved rapidly and was expected to be concluded late today. Ffate's Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn won a point when Judge Christopher L. Avery, presiding judge, admitted Di Battista's signed confession to the murder. Cross-examined by State's Attor- ney Alcorn, Di Battista identified a note he sent to a jail mate while being held for trial. The note, ad- dressed to Louis Mercier, rea “I am going to trial on the 25th of June for first degree murder. ‘That rat is making it tough for me. I am willing t0 hang it he gets a few years, = well- “DI BATTISTA." In response to Alcorn's question, Di Battista said the “rat” referred to Crapuli, his former “pal,” who gave information to the state. Btate and defense rested at 12:15 Pp. m. and Assistant State's Attorney Donald Gaffney of New Britain be- gan the prosecution’s final argument. TEACHER TO START TOUR BY AIRPLANE Mrs. Oliver, Europe Bound, Will Fly to New York Mrs. Mary J. Oliver of 73 Russell street, a teacher of music in the Nathan Junior High school, will take-off from the Brainard* Field airport tomorrow for New York city, on the first step of a journey which will {ake her through the principal countries of Europe. Mrs. Oliver has not traveled by air previously, and her decision to B0 to the port of embarkation by airplane route was prompted by a desire to try the only form of tran: portation she has not used hereto- fore. The flying teacher plans to be out of the country for about two months, returning in time to resume her duties at the Nathan Hale school in September. HEARING ON HIGBY WILL SET FOR NEXT TUESDAY Judge Gaffncy to Pass on Substi- tute Submitted in Place of Missing Original. According to announcement made today by Probate Court Judge Ber- nard F. Gaffney, a hearing ¢n the will of the late Charles C. Higby, Civil war veteran, will take place next Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock at probate court. Considerable inter- est is expressed in the hearing due to the fact that the original will read after the funeral was reported missing and a substitute, drawn up by Attorney Israel Nair from notes made at the time the original was made, will be substituted. Property valued at $10,000 is in- volved, and it is expected that some of the heirs will oppose the admit- tance of the substitute document. NEW BRITAIN HERALD Pilot Dead, Another Dying in Plane Fire Roosevelt Field, June 26 UP— One man was burned to death and another critically injured this afternoon when their plane turn- ed over in landing and caught fire. Neither has been definitely identified. The pilot of the plane, who was burned to death was believed to be Francis Phillips, son of the late Jehn M. Phillips, Queens bor- ough sewer king. He was held in the burning plane by his safety belt, which he was unable to un- fasten, while a crowd of two or three hundred people looked on, helpless to aid him. The passenger, who was taken from the burning plane and rushed to a hospital in Mineola, gasped out that his name was “Honey Goldsmith" before he lost consciousness. PAYROLL GHARGES " DENIED BY MERIAN Gity Engineer Offers Records fo Refute Alderman Falk DENIES EXTRAVAGANGE Public Works Department Official Explains Hiring of Excavators and Trucks, Claiming Policy Re- sults in Saving For City, . The payroll signed by Alderman Walter R, Falk as mayor pro tem. yesterday, was used today by City Engineer P. A. Merian as a part of a general refutation of the alder- man's statement that ccenomy is not being practiced in the depart- ment and that common labor is be- ing paid more than foremeh. The alderman, speaking to col- leagues at a meeting of the finance committee of the ‘common council last night, said he had discovered that laborers are being paid more than the men who direct them and gave as a possible solution the fact that the council fixes the salary of | foremen but does not have jurisdic- | tion over labor. | A study of the payroll today, it is said, shows but one instance in which a person not a foreman ra- ceives as much as a foreman, this being the case of the catch-basin eductor operator who works seven days a week, while foremen work but six days. His daily stipend, as shown on the sheet, is considerable lower than that of a foreman. An- (Continued on Page Three.) FIRE HOUSE BARRED FROM RUSSWIN PLOT Land Deeded for Park Closed to New Station Plans of the board of fire com- missioners for a fire station in the western section of the city were giv- en a sethack today when Chairman James J. Butler of the fire board was informed by Treasurer 1, D. Russell of the Russwin Land Co. that the West Main street plot view- ed as a possible site, has been deed- ed to the city for park purposes only, and cannot be used for a firz- house. The fire board’s request for $50,- 000, already favorably voted by the board of finance and taxation, did not contain an item for land, but it was explained by the commissioners that there is some latitude in the estimates and that economies 'n construction are plahned which will afford funds for a site in the event the city’s property is not available. Mr. Russell expressed regret that he could not see his way clear to raise the restriction, but felt, he said that it would be unfair to persons who purchased home sites from the Russwin Land Co., with the thought in mind that this plot woul® be pre- served at all times for park pur- poses. Several protests were made to th> land company's treasurcr after it becamesknown that the site was| under- consideration. i 50 Workers 'fupped In .hpanese Mine Nagasaki, Japan, June 26 (P—| Frantic efforts were made today to rescue 50 miners entrapped in the Matsushima mine, flooded during the night.
