Judge Irving Levine acted in with a ruling by the Supreme court which last 19 had ordered vacated the penalty originally imposed the 33-year-old Stamford and directed that he be to a life term. In presenting Cofone for re- 'L sentencing, Assistant State's At( i lorney Donald A. Browne said the death penalty had stringent- been recommended by the "estate due to the long and detail- background of Cofone's past.

'Proper Penalty' Speaking for State's Attorney T. Gormley, who Cofone, Mr. Browne told Judge Levine he wished to for Ihe record that the death' penalty voted for Cofone felt by the state to be a penalty in this particu 'the stati Cofone had been convicted ol irst-degree murder in the trangulation of Mrs. Carol Diack in her Wilton home in anuary, 1970. After finding Cofone guilty- of first-degree murder, the jury unanimously roted that the death penally be mposed upon him for the slay- ng.

However, Connecticut highest ribunal, said month it vas necessary to declare error the imposition of the death enalty because tvhile Cofone's appeal from his conviction was pending, the U. S. Supreme court in several cases ruled the extreme penalty unconstitutioii' case." Mr. Browne said. i was an act of extreme 'courage on the part of the 12 who heard the case to see their duty and to vote the deatl was imposed, but he replied, al.

Mr. Browne asked Judge Le vine that Cofone be brought in to the courtroom in that con dition "for the safety of.

cour personnel, make sure doesn't escape." Public Defender Herbert Bundock told Judge Lev.inc that the death penalty under had spo)(en with Cofone prior existing' standards constituted a his bell)e brought into the court cruel and unusual penalty. The Connecticut Supreme court affirmed the murder conviction of Cofone in all other aspects except the penalty portion which it remanded back to Superior court for re-sentencing. Judge Levine asked Cofone, who was brought into the courtroom' by guards from the State's prison at Somers in handcuffs and schackles, if there was anything he wished to say before the new sentence OBITUARIES FrederickR.MiUerNamed i A Vice President at CNB room and said "he is very a a ble and-seems all right to me."
