Manfredi was released an 1250,000 bond Friday to await sentencing on his conWction in the bludgeoning death of his wife. Manfredi was released at 11:20 a.m. from the Hartford Correctional Center and drove off with Caesar Noble, one of his defense attorneys. Manfredi declined to comment. Another defense attorney, Wil liam Galliotti, said restrictions imposed under terms of Manfredi’s pre-trial bond, including a ban on his visiting his children, will remain in effect. He said he expected Manfredi to return to Pennsylvania to be with his family. Manfredi’s three sons have been staying with a maternal aunt in Dunmore, Pa. His release was made possible by Superior Court Judge Thomas Corri gan's ruling Wednesday that Man- fredi's priest’s cottage could be used to secure $125,000 of Manfredi’s $250,000 bond. Galliotti said. The Rev. James F. Leary, now at St. Joseph’s Church in Bristol, was assistant pastor at the West Hart ford church where the Manfredis were members and testified on Manfredi’s behalf during the trial.
