Allbl.
 When the trial of Joseph Cianflone, alias Cowboy" and Michael Rug gerio, charged with the murder of f.nio Renaldino at Pennington on Monday. October 25, 1920, opens al 10 o'clock next Tuesday morning, An drew J. Richardson, formerly a de- tective sergeant in the local police department will be the first witness called. When the court adjourned yesterday afternoon, 1t was just after States Attorney Hugh M. All corn, had called on Richardson to take the witness stand. Owing to the lateness of the hour, Judge Wolfe de- cided 1t would be better to wait until Tuesday morning before starting with Richardson on the witness stand.
 Alibi Is Defense
 Counsel for Cianhone said yester- day that when the defense gets under way, Cianfone himself will be placed on the witness stand to tell his own story. The lawyer intimated that the defense would rest almost entirely on the establishment of an alibi. Cian- ftone has heretofore claimed that he was not in New Britain on the day of the murder and it is believed that he will stick to this story. It is un- derstood that the defense will bring in a number of witnesses from New York in an effort to establish an un- impeachable alibi.
