RUST MEMORIAL
DAY PARADE HELD
IS1 BRIDGEPORT
On May- 5, 1868. Gen.'John A. Logan,
then commander-in-chief of the Grand
Army f the Republic, issued , a , gen
eral order calling, on all members of
the order to honor the memory of their
departed comrades, by stTewing- their
graves with flowers on May, 30., " He
also ordered that this date thereafter
be set apart as "Decoration Day' and
that in addition to placing .flowers on
the graves, public services of a memor
ial character be held in memory of
those who, on land and sea. lost , their
lives in defense of-the Union and for
the' loyal soldiers and - sailors, veter
ans of the Civil War, who might . die
afterward. '
Elias Howe, Jr post No, 3, G. A. R.,
of this city obeyed the order that year
by sending .detachments of its mem
bers to the various cemeteries and
placing flowers on' the flravea and
holding V exercises in each cemetery.
There was no general parade James
E. Dunham was commander of the lo
cal post in 1868. The following yarhow-
ever, ' a big parade was organized to
march tO i Seaside -: park where i, eier
in wV hrh tv Tn-hl1 Tva.rt.ini na.t.eA
were held- and; this r custom f, has teen
eontiaued without a,break ever since
The i first Memorial Day parade .. in
Bridgeport occurred on Saturday May
29, 1S6S. May 30 falling- on Sunday
that year the veterans determined to
hold the parade a day sooner: Past
Commander-in-Chief of the G. A. R..
Alfred B.. Beers, - was chief , marshal.
Dr. G. L.. Porter was his aid. Besides
these two none of the others who took
a prominent part in the exercises that
day are living-.. N. H. Root was mar
shal of the first division, Dr. G. Ohnes-
borg of the second, and MaJ. M. Kel
ly of the third. The orator of the day
was MaJ. L. i N. Mid dlebroofe. and Sam
uel B. Sumner read an original poem.
The- Memorial Day oommittee of the
G. - A. R that year was 3. B. Sumner.
Judge David R Lockwood and Samuel
E. -Blinn. None of these (men are liv
ing today. ' . ' '
The parade formed in Beaver street
now Fairfield avenue, at 1:30, and the
pfnarch to the park began at 2 o'clock.
These hours for the formation and
start- of the parade have been main-v
tained ever since. . The route, was out
Beaver street , to : Cburtland . street, to
State street to Broad street to the site
where the Soldiers' , and Sailors' monu
ment now stands at Seaside park.
Preparations - for ,the erection of the
monument were just beginning- then.
In fact not even the .foundation had
been laid but- a. temporary . cenotaph
made of wood and decorated with flag's
and flowers; had been, erected about
the site of 'the proposed monument and
there the exercises were held.
From the files of the Farmer of the
Monday following we learn that the
day was fair and that e. large number
of citizens g-athered at the park to
listen to the exercises.
Of the organizations that took part
in -that . parade and , the - exercises
which followed but fev are in exis
tence now. The Elias Howe Poet
brass band which led the column has
long since disbanded. The militia or
ganizations which with the : G. A. R.
post comprised the first division of the
parade, were Companies B and E of
the 8th regiment and Light Battery
B. These militia companies now are
no more and few if .any of. the men
who marched in their ranks are living-
today In the second ' division were "
the " S-ch utsen - corps, - the , Ger
mania society and the Turn. Vereln.
Of these. only the Germania society is
left: ; In 'the third division were the
Iron Molders' Union, St. Mary's T. A.
B. and the St. Patrick's T. A. B. asso
ciations. All of these societies are
still lnv existence arid although they no
longer parade as organizations, mem
bers - of All three have been found in
every Memorial Day parade since the
first one 45 years ago.
The Wheeler & Wilson band head-v
ed the third division" on the occasion
of that first parade" but not one of the
men who marched with, the band that
day is now living1. .
' At Seaside park, that , day relatives
and friends of deceased soldiers dec
orated the-, cenotaph with flowers, a
custom that pertains until this day
and which will be repeated tomorrow.
In one division of tomorrow's parade
will march more men ' tban . comprised
the entire procession on the first Me
morial Day, out the spirit of patriot
ism was the same then and the mo
tives of the marchers Just as sincere.
Some years ago through activity on
the -part of the Grand Army of. the
Republic the day became officially
known as "Memorial Day " It is now
a legal holiday in all the states, (and
District of Columbia, Porto Rica antf
Alaska)' except Arkansas, . Florida,'
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North,
andi-sontn Carolina and ' Texas.
' In spite of the desire of, the Grand
Army to have the name Memorial Day
aa , a more fitting' distinction for the
occasion,- the old tule, of ' Decoration
Day still clings to , the event and is
more generally used vthan those who
founded the observance desire. .

Carter Demands Bofino
Be Tried for Blackmail
''; "fContinued from Page-1.1 ' f,
Further he declined, to toe interviewed
and at ofice went into conference with
State, Policeman . Fraak : Virelli ,an4
Attorney Gray. .
Thougih ; Attorney -Gray stated ear
lier in the da.y "that he . would try the
case in the city court, announcement
was ' later made tnat J-ray . naa oeen
disqualified .nd that the -case- would
probably ; come - up,' Monday; , under
Prosecutor Alexander DeLaney.
- It was expected "in police circles, to
day, - that bonds 'would: be askedfor
the safe keeping', of Maiiiero and. Bo-
reno' who had ibeen released in the
custody . of Prosecutor Gray, v in view.,
of hie disqualifications to act In the
Prosecutor . Alexander v DeLaney-
when seen this afternoon In his office-,
admitted that the case had .-: been
placed in hi 'hands, and that he- was
then' 'in conference with .. Policeman
Virelli, -from whom he expected to se
cure full details and prepare tola case.)
"Will not the statement of Attorney
Gray to the effect that he - was the
one who sent the men to Delia's house
place him in. the poeition of being the
chief, -witness for the 'defense-V" was
one of the 'questions "asked y a. - re
porter for The Farmer.
'T cannot say at this time,", replied
DeLaney. . "I am J,ust. entering upon
the case in an unbiased iflanner and
have not had time to study, the evi
dence. - . ' -
"I do not -think so, however," -was
the emphatic conclusion of - Mr. De
Laney. j , , ,
-When- seen prior to, the city court
u.rriiniiierii, ul xL-a.uit?xu ii-xin jauiiuu,
Attorney Gray "stated that he had en
tered the ; Delia bankruptcy , case, as
counsel for several 'creditors and- that
the case . seemed suspicious to rum.
Word .; was later received that Delia
was attempting- -to, secure . immunity
by offering money tf or suppression of
evidence. HeV.had then- told the men
accused;. of iblackmail , to see if they
could ( trap Delia. He considered the
arrest a diuge" Joke which- would Jbe at
once throw out . of oourt when -prop
erly explained . to the hi'gner autnori
ties. , . ' - ' . - - .
Aeked'f if. he , would prosecute ' the
case in view. of. his. jjreyioua relation
ship as attorney for Bortno, -he said
that he did not Miove that the case
would come to prosecution and that
lie eaw no reason wiiy ; he should not
present the evidence. ,.'
After the conference with States At
torney Carter, he admitted that while
he had originally sent the two men
to .Delia- the evidence-in possession
of the state . seemed to' indicate that
the pair may have acted beyond his
Instructions and if-so they would have
to defend t'themselves . of - the charges
against them. -
The authorltiea-of Shelton today be
gan an investigation into the .alleged
acts of Borino in that borough. Louis
Pintd, a saloon-keeper in Derby,' says
he paid Borino $10 in connection with
the case of his brother ' Frank who as
saulted Alex Havrilla, during- the Shel
ton strikes, resulting- in the , latter 's
death. , - . . " i
Corino is said to have taken $10
from Augustine Forilla, and Guisseppi
MalandVro in a .case of assault in
which Frank De . Sacio was shot in
Shelton recently. ' -The case -which-was
defended by Clitua King, May 18, .re
sulted in a fine of ,$10 and costs to
Fdrilia in' Shelton. Letters written by
Borino upon stationery bearing- the
Imprint of. '"Ralph ' T. Borino, Man
ager. Central Labor Agency, Warner
Building, Bridgeport" have been
brought -to the Shelton- authorities in
which Borino is alleged to have soli
cited $25 additional -for his efforts in
securingthe release of-Forilla. "-
Manier'o today explained, his con
nection with the Bridgeport case to a
reporter by saying thathe knew noth
ing of the matter until asked to, go to
Delia's house, yesterday. He did not
know what:. the money was for but
knew that Borino, who corroborated
his statements was working on a
bankruptcy case and wanted him as a
witness." ' ..
Borino 'denied guilt, stating that he
had' heard from Jacob JacGbelli,., a
former bicycle dealer -who also went
into bankruptcy that Delia wanted to
arrange for withdrawal of threatened
arrest ,1n connection- with - the bank
ruptcy proceedings --before Referee
John W. Banks. He had told Attor

rescued. ; The captain was
too overcome at first to talk." . .
