JUDGE FACES A
 BAD DILEMMA IN
 MURDER TRIAL
Not Evidence Enough to Bind Over Accused, Too
 Much to Dismiss Them
Continues Case of DeLucia Brothers and Mrs. Martel- To to Give State Chance to Produce Missing Witness

Refusing to find either -'proBabIe cause or to dismiss the suspects, Judge Carl Foster, in the city court this morning again continued the cases of Joseph and Rosario DeLucia and Mrs. Rosario MarteIlo, Jointly ac- cused of compIicity in the murder of Rosario Martello at his home at 10 West avenue on December 8.
 Judge Foster declared that the state had failed to make out a case suffi- ciently strong to warrant the fndins of probable cause and on the other hand he felt that there was too much evidence against them to warrant set ting them at liberty for the present.
 Finding himself in dilemma, Judge Foster decided to give the case an other continuance in order to give the state a chance to produce a miss ing witnesS who was expected to give inpoTtant testinQny for the state al today's session of court s Attorney George Mara. counssl for the defence, made a strong plea for the accused He pointed out the cir cunlsta ntiaI nature of the evidence find mot probable cause. He was about to call little Rosario MarteI1o, niue year old son of the murdered man 10 the stand, when Judge Eos ter interrupted and stated his feeling in the matter.
 The judge said that he was satis-
 
 MartelIo were present at the time of the murder or immediately after. There was also evidence that a man resem bling Rosario DeLucia had been seen running, away from the crime immediately following the shooting. There was not sufficient evidence to warrant binding over the accused, but on the other hand he diSliked to take the responsibility of setting them at liberty in the face of evidence that they know more about the crime thar they have consented to tell.
 Judge Foster declared that he req lizsd that it worked a hardship upon the accused to keep them longer in trial.
 'sBut this condition is brought about strictly through the evidence in the case.'' he declared.
 Attorney Mara made a strong plea to have the matter settled at once, either one way or another. He de- cl9red that the case had been allow ed to drag along day after day and that the authorities had had more than ample time to work up "prob . able cause if probable cause exist ed. He said that it was inflicting a great hardship upon the accused and particularly upon Rosario DeLucia, who has a wife and two children and that attorney in the case he would be satisfied if the court should find probable cause against the other two, but should release Rosario De- Lucia at once.
 Judge Foster could not see it in that light however and continued the cases until January 20 without bonds. He warned the state to have all its less the witness who was absent to- day has something new to tell, the states case is practically what was disclosed in zthetcoroner's inquest.

Yesterday. he sent for Attorneys John L.. Lee and William A. Morse, his counseIors. They spent several ister. To them he told the story of his intimacy with pretty little Avis Linnell. and of seeing her start away toward her room to take the medicine which she believed would make her well. He hid nothing. He crucified himself on the cross of his own con- science. The lawyers sat and listen ed, loathing the minister before them and realizing that their oaths as lawyers made it imperative that they try to save his pitiful life
 From the cell of the minister they went directly to the office of Dis trict Attorney Pelletier. in charge of the prosecution. They pleaded with him for leniency for hours. PelIetier was as adamant as the granite walls about them. Nothing. he said, would be promised. If Richeson wished to "change his mind" about his plea of mot guilty" he must do so in the full knowledge that at the end of the story stood the chair of death.
 Six hours of pleading failed to move Pelletier from his demand that the law of Moses must be fulfilled: '.An eye for an eye tooth. for a tooth.'-A life for the two lives he had taken.
 
 So they left him. last night, but re- turned. today. still begging for, ths life of the man who was honored and respected as a minister of the gospel but who now stood condemned by his own mouth.
 Their pleas. it is believed, fell on deaf ears Finally. realizing the utter hopelessness of their case and beIiev- ing that, if Richeson were allowed to confess the trial judge might exercise the leniency the prosecuting attorney refused to show, they made public. his confession.
 At the time the confession was made public. it was not given out what PelIetier's final attitude would be. but it is understood that he de- clined to promise anything.

 United Kingdom
Especial from United Press.1 )

London. Jan. 6-Reports from the coal mining districts, today. indicated that the United Kingdom will be tied up by one of the greatest strikes in the history of the country.
 Ballotting will begin, Jan. 10, on the question of whether minimum wage scale shall be demanded in addition to number of other minor conces- sions Reports from mining districts indicate that the men will be pract- caily unanimous in declaring for the minimum wage. This undoubtedly will mean that 100000 men will strike as the operators haSs refused to consider this demand.
 In the event of a strike, the entire supply of coal on hand in Great Britain will not last more than month Business activity was SuS- pended because of lack of feul and Fngland's uuch-lauded navy will be helpless unless speedy arrangements are made to get coal supplies from other countries.

They had conferred with Ricteson, yesterday morning and had immedI- ately left him to go to the office of District Attorney PeIIetier where they were in conference from shortly after noon until after six o'clock. It is known now that the long conference they had, last night, was in regard to a possible "change of pIea," by Richeson.
 The attorneys, in the interest of their client, held out for cIemency in case he changed his plea of not guiIty,'' but throughout District Att torney PeIIetier was Obdurate.
