RAYNOR CHEWS TOBACCO AND SMILES AS MULLEN
 MURDER IS DESCRIBED
WOMAN ACCOMPLICE SHRINKS FROM GAZE IN COURT HEARING BOTH HELD FOR
 MURDER
Hardened Pair Must Face the Superior Court Trial for Their Lives-Held Without Bail After Each Refuses to Make State ment-Only Fifteen Minutes Required for City Court Hearing

the case of the Sprague woman, who said she had no attorney.
 pr. Downs and Captain Arnold were the only witnesses heard. Dr. Downs testified to his cursory examRat tion of the body of Mullen on the night of the crime, and his autopsy with Dr. Trecartin the following morning, be- tween Il and 12 o'clock.
 Among other injuries he described welt under the right eye, very hard, above the cheek bone, and scratches several inches long and cov- back, as. though the body had been dragged.
 The autopsy disclosed the condition known as "wet brain'', there being an accumulation between the inner and outer coverings of the brain struc- ture.
 Death was due he said, to a blow on the head producing concussion of the brain. The blow was struck on the right side of the head.
 Captain Arnold testified to the con- fessions he obtained from both pri- soners He testified he had warned them that whatever they said might be used against them. When he reached that portion of the Sprague woman's confession that Raynor had told Mullen, Get the h-l out of here." Raynor had a quiet laugh and on re- gaining his compoSure took another chew of tobacco. The first confes- sion of the woman was not complete, and a subsequent confession, he said, had brought out an admission that she had taken $9 out of Mullen's sock. Telling Raynor's story he said the man had at first claimed the woman beat and robbed Mullen and put him out. Subsequently Raynor admitted, Arnold testified, that he had helped carry the man down stairs.
 On completion of the testimony of captain, Judge Foster told Raynor and the woman individually that they might say anything they desired.
 ttIt is my duty,'' he added, since you have no counsel here to warn you that if you do say anything it may be used against you in the Superior court you are bound over to the Superior court for trial.
 1T don't want to say anything un- til the higher court,' said Raynor.
 "I don't wish to make no plea until the higher court" echoed the wom- an. Judge Foster at once found prob able cause.
 George s. Hawley, official steno- grapher of the Superior court, at- tended the trial to make stenographic report of the proceedings. Steno- graphers rarely attend the city court, only in the most important cases.
 Immediately after the trial the two were returned to the jail, to await tie February term of the Superior Court.

ROME BELIEVES BROOKLYN PRIEST IS TO BE HEAD
 OF DIOCESE OF HARTFORD

Rome, Jan. 22.-It is announced at the Vat 1can today that Rev. Father Patrick O'Hare, of St. Anthony's church, in Brooklyn, is soon to ar- rive here
 As Father O'Hare is mentioned as one of the three candidates recommended to the Pope to be selected as Bishop of Hartford it is confidently believed in church circles here that he has been selected for that high church office and that he has been summoned to Rome to be invested with the Bishops mitre and ring
 No official announcement of his selection has been made but the fact that he has been summon ed to Rome is taken to indicate that he will be the next Bishop of Hartford

Fifteen minutes after they had been put to plea on the charge of murder. in the city court this morning, Fred Raynor and Clara Sprague, self-con- fessed slayers of James H. Mullen, at the Sprague woman's room on We'd nesday night, Jan. 12. were held for trial in the Superior court, Judge Eos ter finding probable cause and holding both without bail.
 The charge against them is that they wilfully and premeditatedly beat' struck, wounded and ill-treated Null len with the purpose of robbing him, and inflicted a mortal wound on the right side of Mullen's head. causing his death. It is not necessary to show that they intended to murder Mullen. If the State convinces the jury that they beat Mullen with the purpose of robbery in mind. and that Mullen's death was the result of the beating, whether or not they intended to kill him, that first degree murder charge will stand.
 Neither had an attorney in the court room, but they expect to be represent cd by Attorney Howard c. Taylor of Danbrry when their cases reach the Superior court. No friends of Ray IOT nave dppSdIGu SlIICS IliS d1 CSI, while the woman's sister and latter's husband have begun arrangements with Attorney Taylor to defend her. They are said to be almost destitute of funds, however, and it is likely that their lawyer in the Superior court will be one assigned to defend them by the judge before whom the case is tried.
 Raynor and the woman showed no more emotion in the court room today thar at any time since their arrest
 It was 9:30 when their cases were reached. half a dozen petty offenders being tried before them. The Sprague woman, as on the occasion of her for mer appearance in the city court, shielded herself from public gaze with her brown veil, and also by sinking to the corner of the pen partially pro- tected by a metal screening. Raynor was seated in a row with other pris- oners.
 Wlheff Clerk John P. Gray had com pleted reading the warrant. first read to Raynor, he asked, '"To this charge. Raynor, what is your plea?''
 Before he could answer, Judge Eos ter interrupted. "Just a moment he exclaimed, raising a warning hand. Have you counsel?"
 "No I want to have it go up to the other court.'' said Raynor.
 tfYou have no counsel in this court ?" queried Judge Foster.
 "No, sir.''
 t"Then enter a plea of not guilty" ordered the court.
 The same procedure was taken in

They reached the court room long before the time set for the hearing, but already big crowd had gather ed, and as the men were taken from the street into the town building jeers and hoots greeted them. Badly scared since their arrest, they were more fearful than ever when they be held the hostile attitude of the crowd Securely. manacled together, they had mt the barest chance of escape with the husky sheriffs clinging to their free arms. Laski and Bartoni walked between the officers, the left wrist of one being chained to the right wrist of the other.
 It was a matter of a few minutes to arraign the men. They were given chance to plead to the charge, and through their counsel they entered pleas of not guilty. They feigned to understand very little English. al- of the men declare they can converse intelligently in the language. Immedi- ately after Justice Wakeman had found probable cause the men were bundled into the waiting automobile, and within a short time of their de- parture from their cells in the coun- ty jail they were back in the North avenue institution.
 Prosecutor King conferred with States Attorney Judson before the hearing, for the latter will, conduct the final trial of the men in the Grim inal Superior court. Attorney Judson was satisfied that the action agreed upon between Prosecutor King and the counsel for the men should be follow ed. So only the one charge, that of assault with intent to murder, was entered. The other charges may be preferred by the States Attorney in the Superior Court at any time.
 Arrangements were made with Sher- if Hawley to notify the prosecuting authorities in event of the appearance of any prospective bondsman for either man. They will not be allowed to leave the jail, for should they be able to raise the $15,0o0 or secure a person having property to that amount to furnish bail, they will be held for arraignment on one of the other pos sible charges, such as highway rob- bery, theft, or, in the case of Marock, bigamy.

Saved by her own pluck from what she and her father, a wealthy Italian resident of 61 Steuben street, believe to have been a plot to carry off and demand blackmail, IT year old Bea- trice Minute, pretty brunette, ob- tained the above permit from Super intendent Birmingham at police head quarters today. This afternoon she purchased pistol, which she expects to carry when she is away from her home unaccompanied.
 Miss Minutes home is in the rear of a tenement house looking out on Booth street, which runs from Steu- ben street at right angles. To reach her home she has to walk from Steu- ben street through a passage way fenced in by high board partitions on either side, and through the back yard of one yard to the front door of her own home.
 Last night, at 5:45, she turned into the alley way and had taken only half a dozen steps when she was seized by a man who approached from the rear. He wore a heavy fur coat with high collar turned up about his face and a cap, the peak of which was drawn down pretty well over his face On her guard for such an attack as the result of an attempt of similar nature made few months ago, she leaped

A number of young boys playing on Boston avenue about 10 o'clock this morning found the body of a prematurely born boy on the roadside near LakevieW cemetery. They in formed the Charities department. Postman Phillip H. Flynn also noti- fed the Second precinct police sta tion. The body was found in a small purple bag. Wrapped around it was a newspaper of a date in last April and a portion of a wOmans under clothing. A little foot of the boy stuck out of the paper and the bur lap bag. It was later removed to the undertaking parlors of Rourke & Rourke.
 At first it was thought that the lit tie child was murdered, but those at the morgue who have had experience in matters of premature births, state that the child was born dead. The medical examiner later confirmed this view. There was Ro mark of vio-
