Phe1an this morning.
 The boy was accompanied by a cousin, Jack Gold, 5S9 Jane street, who is licensed driver. When called to the witness stand this morning Gold was hard to confine to answers of the coroner's questions. He wanted to tell just how it happened, and what a good driver young Chernoff was Gold claimed he was fit to judge the boys capabilities because he, himself, had been a driver for seven years. On the heels of this he tried to convince the court that a Dodge is a right hand drive car, but did not succeed
 Gold also stated that the car stopped within an inch after passing over the body of Carmine Franca- This differed from the testimony of a jitney driver who was brought to court by Chernoff's father, Louis, an expressrnan- The jftney driver was a good witness for the boy. claiming

Mott Trial
 Cost $5,7OO

trial of Mrs Ethel H. Mott, for the trial of Mrs Ethel M. Mott. for the murder last August of her husband, George B. Mott, will be just about s5,700- Several small items have not yet been settled, but other items may possibly be pared. so that the estimate made today. the first since actual definite figures have been at hand, is virtually correct, bringing the total to somewhat less than the trial of EFvood B. Wade, for the same offenSe- There is practically no cost in connection with the sentenc- ing of Edward Johnston for the crime, as he pleaded guilty and there by saved the state a great deal of ex- pense.
 Of the $5.7oo an amount of about s2,9S0 covers the cost and the sum- rnoning of the jury The sunmoning of 250 men. with the attendant ex- .pense of deputy sheriffs was almost entirely for the trial of the Mott woman The only other case that used a jury was the State vs. Charles Wood, New Canaan, held on a charge of indecent assault. This trial was and will come up again at the fall term.
 s255O covers the expenses, board, etc. of the prisoners while awaiting trial and also attorney fees, the court having appointed Attorney Henry E. shannon to assist Robert DeForest, the public defender. It is here that Judge Maltbie has the power to slice the bills presented if he thinks them nnreasonable.
 s375 will cover some incidentals, as well as small bills presented by several doctors The fact that there was very little of the so-called expert cuts the expenses, as compared to the wade trial.

 law firm of Shannon & Wilder, brought the suit for the clothing company which asks damages Of $3,- S75.
 It is claimed that the company has a five year lease on the building and the terms of the contract called for the owner to make all necessary ex- terior repairs, while the lessee would make all interior repairs.
 The large window frames encasing the plate glass show windows have become loose, rusty and worn, it is claimed, through years of exposure to the elements, and that in every rain storm the rain leaks through the Assures and cracks and damages clothing on display
 The company made several appeals to the landlord, the complaint alleges, and although Klein made several minor repairs they were totally in adequate and provided no improve ment-
 When finally he was requested to put in an entire new front on the building, Klein is said to have fatly refused. The c1otheries, through their counsel, then instituted suit claiming damages to the extent of $3,875 for damage to clothing and other ma teriaIs in the windows.

The shop crafts employees voted 4S,000 in favor of acceptance of the wage slash, with 3s5,0O0 opposed to it. Unofficial reports of the trend of the vote in the four railway brother hoods indicated the wage slash, amounting generally to 12 per cent and effective July 1. was not ,popu- lar and that the Brotherhood chiefs would be asked to call strike It is understood the Brotherhood chiefs themselves are against a strike.
 The vote of the shopmen actually affects about 600,0O0 railway workers or about half of those employed by all railway systems in the country. The remainder of the men-the clerks, switchmen engineers, cnoductors and trainmen-have left final action re- garding a. strike to a committee of their officers and various chairmen of divisions. They will meet here next Friday to canvass the situation.
 It Is pointed out that even should the railway workers, general commit tee recommend acceptance of the wage cut, the shop crafts and em- p1oyeeS vote against 1t scarcely can be ignored The employees, as a whole have agreed to abide by a majority half, or more, of the total railway men.

Summertime
 Patronage On
 Troleys Drops

Summertime patronage on trolley cars has fallen off to a considerable extent Despite the thousands that flock to nearby shore resorts over each weekend, the Connecticut Com pany is realizing but a very small per centage of patronage Tho single exception to the case is along the New Haven line where normal crowds travel via trolley to beaches that have inadequate motor bus service
 The fact that majority of the Bridgeport people make Pleasure Beach their gath ering place on Sat urdays and Sundays and because the beach is so situated as to make ma rine travel necessary is responsible to a large extent for the decrease in trol- ley patronage. The ferries that ply to and from the island garner the largest part of the uickeIs and dimes of the beach goers, who upon reaching the mainland usually make the rest Of their homeward journey on foot.

 The exchange is about even, in re- 1ation to people being returned to the State of Connecticut from other places for the same reason, but as whole more are leaving Connecticut than are coming in.
