Death finding links Morano to Biafore killing in 1913
Coroner John J. Phelan states Nicholas Biafore died July 31 1913 in Bridgeport from gunshot wound inflicted by Joseph Morano during a dispute over time pay and his daughter’s marriage. Morano shot after being denied wages and argued over city pay rules. The inquest describes Morano’s late arrival, a demand for his time, and Morano’s subsequent firing of three shots, with Biafore dying almost instantly. The coroner forwards the findings to the prosecuting attorney for further action and burial arrangements at St Michael's Cemetery Stratford Connecticut.
