Sent from Connecticut to Institution in Another State. Josephine Spadero, the New London girl who took the life of her child| while a patient at Memorial hospital, and was before the criminal superior | court here last week, is now in_the| Florence Crittenden mission 'in New York. The committal of the gir] to an in- stitution in another state I3 regarded! by attorneys interested in the. case as| being unique. It could only be ac- complished, they say, without the con- sent of parent or guardian. While! the decision of Judge Crandall to de- or is tain the girl there for five veal until she attains her majority, made possible in a special legislativ act, lawyers find all sorts of possibil tles that might be attached to the case. Miss Spadero will have kind treat-| men and will be trajned in a useful occupation which best suits her and she will acquire an_ education. A peculiarity of the case is that un-| der the law governing indeterminate sentences it is possible for Nigrelli, the girl's assallant, with good behaviour to | gain his freedom in one vear. Other- wise he may have to serve seven years. FUNERALS. H.
