Especial to The Times
 Wethersfield, June B Mrs. Ethel Hutchins Nott' confessed murderess of her husband, George E. Mott, Bridgeport gambler, this morning started to serve her sentence of life imprison- ment in the state prison. Officially known as Convict No. 1908, she was assigned to the prison laundry and af- ter undergoing the various formalities of registration immediately went to work.
 For the first time in over a week she passed a restful night. Her state of utter collapse and her hysterlcal nervous tension at the dramatic con- clusion of her trial had so completely exhausted the woman that she was almost nGlpleSS "nen SIG aII4FSO GU the prison at five o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 The invigorating drive of 80 miles from Bridgeport mad revived her flag ging nerves somewhat, but she was so spent mentally and physically that she retired immediately after she had partaken of a little food. She was taken to her cell in the women's prison, and at once retired to the little cot where nercifu1 sleep closed her eyes and relaxed her weary body.
 She was visibly improved this morning, and after being examined by the prison authorities was said to be in a condition that did not require hospital treatment In the belief of the authorities, the companionship of the other inmates and labor that would occupy her mind would be the most effective means of recovering her wasted health.
 It was stated at the prison this morning that Mrs. Mott will be ac- corded the same privileges and must conform with the same regulations as the other life prisoners.
 She will he allowed to see visitors, either friends or relatives, once every two weeks. No specified day is set apart as visiting day, although no prisoner is allowed to receive friends on Saturday afternoon or Sunday.

EXPECT A DECISION
 INFAMOUS SUPREME
 COURT CASE IN WEEK
Question As to Whether Highly Important and Secret Information of the Government Does in Fact Consti tute Government Property in Legal sense-Both Sides Submit

Washington, Jume3- A decision in the now famous Supreme Court Leak case may be announced within a week, it was intimated today following the Submission of briefs by both sides.
 In extricably woven into the case as now presented is the question of whether highly important and secret information of the government does in fact constitute governm ent prop erty' in a legal sense, and whether men who conspire to obtain such secrets surreptitiously and turn them to their own financial advantage and are liable under the law as they would be if they conspired to ran sack the treasury. The government, is of the opinion that it's secret ini Formation is classed as property; att torneys for Ashton F. Embry, formeE private secretary to Supreme Couy Justice McKenna; B. F. Moses, lawyer; E. M. Mayer, a broker, ant J; Ii. Graves, a former Department of Justice lawyer, contend that it is not property and the offense for which the men were indicted is not punishable under any existing statute.
 The decision rests with Justice Siddons in the District Supreme Court. He will decide whether the indictment sticks or is to be dismiss ed as requested by the attorneys for the conspiratOrs.
 The case is expressing the atten- ton of official Washington to an un- usual degree because every bureau department and high government of lice in Washington possesses impor- tant secrets which could be turned to advantage of the pOssessor in stock speculation. as was done in this case.
 The facts themselves that the four men did cOnspire and obtain advance information on important Supreme court decisions, as disclosed in the in vesigation as conducted by Marlen E. Pew, editor of the Int. News Ser vice, are not disputed in the brief
 The government charges in the in dictment that Embry, in his highly confidential relationship private secretary to Justice McGennay acted as the inside man" that he did se- cure advance news on decisions, im- parted 1t to his associates and thcy used this information in Wall Street speculation. In the specific instance cfted in the indictment the decision was on the Southern Pacific oil lands case, which violently affected the market.
 In this case a profit of $1 ,41O was taken down of which Embry received $500.
 The brief, in behalf of the indicted men, does not dispute these facts lr is contended that merely that the act is not a crime that there is no statute making a crime to violate the inn memorial customary acts and prac- tceS of the court, and while the act itself may be cenSurable it is not pIIn- iShable as a crime
