ENDS MURDER TRIAL
BY PLEADING GUILTY
Pymm Turns States Evidence
for Leniency; Conigal, CO.
defendant. Follows.

James Pymm OF 149 Powell street,
Brooklyn, changed his plea of not guilty
of murder in the first degree to guilty
Of murder in the second degree while
he was being tried yesterday on IN In
dictment charging him with completely
in the killing of Michael O'Connor,
night Waterman at the Rudolph Ware
house Company's plant in New Brigh-
ton, Staten Island. on the night of
March /.
A similar plea was Immediately en-
tered by the attorney for Joseph Conf
gal of Carroll place, New Brighton,
also under indictment for FIRST degree
murder. Judge Ternan of the Rich
mond County Court Immediately SEN
fenced each defendant to Sing Sing
for from twenty years to life.
The changing of Pynm's plea
came with dramatic suddenness after
the jury in his case had been
chosen and the trial started and
Medical Examiner, was testifying re-
garding O'Connor's injuries, Pymm had
been previously offered u chance 10
change his plea but had refused be-
cause of the conditions on which Dis
trict Attorney Maloy insisted. Just
after DR. Mord had testified that O'Con-
nor came to his death through = frac-
tured skull caused by blow Attorney
James Burke asked the court to enter
tain a motion.
THE defendant said the lawyer, has
changed his mind about his plea, and
with the permission OF the court he will
plead guilty to murder in the second de-
gree"
Judge Herman said He would permit
the plea to be changed on condition that
Pymm give to the District Attorney the
names of the three Brooklyn thugs hired
by him, who killed o'Connor that he
give the District Attorney information
regarding tteir whereabouts, and that
he help the State in their prosecution.
Burke said Pymm would do this. and
would do everything in his power TO
help the State.
Judge Tiernan, permitting Pymm to
change his plea, Immediately sentenced
him. land told the prisoner neither the
court nor the District Attorney could do
anything for him now, but that II he
played square with the state something
might be done for him later.
Pymm's defense has been that he had
no actual knowledge of the murder and
that he had not hired the three thugs to
kill the Waterman. He had hired them,
he contended, 10 beat up the Waterman
and distract his attention during the
thcft of thirty-fiNe barrels Oh WHISKY
stored in the warehouse.
Couigars connection with the crime
was similar to that of Pymm, except
that he was supposed at the time to
have had $1,000 IN his pockets to help
swing the whisky deal Judge Tlernan
called the attention Of Conigal. who Is
only 10 and who up to q few weeks be-
fore his arrest was q choir boy and
altar boy at st. Peters Roman Catholic
Church az New Brighton, TO his gooa
fortune In not having met the thugs on

$4,000 CARNEGIE
TAX LOST BY STATE
Court Decides Tenant by En-.
tirety Is Not Amenable to
Inheritance Levy.

The State will lose an inheritance tax
of $500 on the Andrew Carnegie prop
erty In upper Fifth avenue and large
sums on other estates because of a de-
cision handed down yesterday by the
Court OF Appeals declaring unconstitu-
tional law passed in 1916 seeking 10
tax the Carnegie property.
The decision was in a case involving
the estate of Edmund Lyon. who died
in 1890, and the facts were similar to
those in the Carnegie property tax fight.
When the Carnegie property was ac-
CURED In 1898 the ownership was vested
in Mr.. Carnegie and his wife as ten
ants by the entirety and on the death
of one the realty would become the
property of the other. Property thus
held was free from inheritance tax I'M
til 1916, when law passed providing
that 1.-The right of q surviving tenant
by the entirety to the immediate own
ership and possession of such property
shall be deemed the tranfer, taxable
Under the provision of this chapter in the
same manner as the whole property to
which such transfer relates belonged
absolutely to the deceased tenant by the
entirety"
Before the Carnegie estate was APP
praised the Appellate Division In Brock
lyn in another case ruled thar the tax
must be paid on the half of the es-
tate owned by deceased tenant An
effort was then made by the State Tax
Commission to apply this deci son 10
tho Carnegie estate, btu the firm OF
Root, Clark, Rowland & Buckner, at
torueys for the Carnegie estate and
Mrs. Carnegie, objected on the ground
that the decision was at variance with
other decisions in the Appollase Di-
vision and the Court OF Appeals. George
Brokaw Compton. appraiser, decided
that the Brooklyn decision was erron-
eous and declared the property exempt.
The Tax Commission appealed and Sur
roeate Foley last November % ruled
against Compton's decision.
Counsel for the estate then appealed,
and the case was pending before the
Appellate Division here wren the Lyon
case camo up. Elihu Root Jr., as a
friend of the court, appeared IN the
Lyon case because ruling there would
be binding on the Carnegie estate. The
opinion In the Lyon case was written
by Judge Andrews.

NEW INSECT PEST
A RAVAGE To PEAS
Aphis Discovered In Some Fields
Of State Menace To
Whole Crop

COLLEGE PARK, MD. May IL
The pea aphis, an insect pest capable
of multiplying rapidly enough to de-
stroy an entire crop, has been discov-
cred in commercial pea fields in Mary
land, notably in Dorchester county,
in numbers sufficiently large to men,
ace the crop of canning house peas
This announcement was made today
by e. ~ Cory, State Entomologist, fol-
lowing an investigation of the out
break in Dorchester county at the in
stance of County Agent Warren
Moore. The pest was previously dis
covered ty the Federal Pest Survey
in Delaware. C. c. Hamilton, Assist
ant Entomologist for the University
of Maryland Experiment Station, is
directing control measures in the in
tested district OF Dorchester county
and is testing the effectiveness of sew
eral new dust and spray compounds
along with the standard established
remedies
In warming growers to be on the
watch for the aphis or plant louise
Mr.. Cory emphasizes the importance
| of king tho first lice by Spraying as
soon as the inseCcsS appear. Even
though only one or two lice are OBJ
served on plant. the necessity for
! immediate action is to be found in the
rapidity with which the pest multiply,
says MIR. Cory. In large numbers they
are capable of destroying an entire
crop by preventing the setting of the
blossoms or by distorting the pods, he
says.
For the control Of plant lice Mr.
Cory recommends as a spray the use
of tn ee-fourths OF a pint OF nicotine
and four pounds of soap to barrel
of water To be effective this solu-
ton should be strong, should be
applied as soon as the lice APP
pear and before the vines fall
over and become matted and should
be put on with sufficient force and
enough nozzle so that every part of
the plant is covered and all lice kill
ed he says.
The county agent in every county
where canning house peas are grown
is on the lookout for an outbreak of
the pest and will notify the State
Entomologist if assistance is needed.
