WILL ATTACK
STORY TOLD
BY FRANCIS
Hartman Defense to
Challenge Testimony
of Burglar.
WITNESSES READY
Former Deputy Prose-
cutor to Testify for
Defendant.
WITNESSES READY

That the first attacks of the de-
Tense in the case against J. Herbert
Hartman, deposed Republican nom
inee for the city judgeship in the
last city election charged with re-
ceiving stolen goods, will be direct
ed against the credibility Of Frank
Francis, the confessing burglar and
star witness for the prosecution, was
indicated at the opening of the case
for the defense in Criminal Court to-
day.
When court adjourned at noon three
witnesses for the defense, Faye W. Pat
rick, POI North Mount street, formerly
deputy prosecutor in city court; Marshall
]. Thompson, 526 North Belmont avenue,
and Leslie Il. Ridenbough, 953 King ave-
nue., had taken the stand.
DENY HARTMAN
WAS WITH FRANCIS.
These witnesses testified to having
seen Hartman about the Ninth and Fifth
precincts Of the Fifteenth ward between
10 O'Clock and noon of primary day, May
8, 1921, and they denied Francis had been
with Hartman at that time. ALI three
testified that Hartman had been in q
Ford automobile at this time. This was
in direct contradiction to testimony given
by Francis that he had driven Hartman
about the city that morning in a Buick
car.
Prosecutor Evans made strenuous efforts
on examination to break down the
testimony of the witnesses, but was I'M
able to bring out any important varia-
tons.
Prosecutor William P. Evans rested
the case for the State following the
testimony of William H. De Forester,
chief of detectives of Louisville.
HOLMES OUTLINES
CASE OF DEFENSE.
Ira Holmes, one of Hartmans at
torneys, began making the opening state
ment for the defense following the rest
ing of the States case by Mr.. Evans
The defense had reserved the right to
outline its case to the jury after the
State had completed the introduction OF
It's testimony.

ment, was halted several times by OBJ

The four men, all rather roughly
dressed, sauntered into the tank without
attracting any particular attention from
the employees. One walked directly to
the third window and seemingly at a
preconcerted signal he whipped out a
revolver and covered L. l.. Orwig, an
employe Of the main branch, who has
been relieving H. B. Tillman, the manager
Of the branch, who Is Ill.

At the same time another covered r.
A. Bechtold, assistant manager Mr..
Bechtold was a little slow to obey the
command to raise his hands and the
bandit struck him a heavy blow over
the head with the butt of his revolver
While this was going on third mem
Der of the quartette took his stand by
the door with revolver in his hand.
Then the one who had covered Mr..
Orwtg lined the two men and Mrs.
Henry Piper and Miss Julia Dean, en-
ployes of the bank, up and forced them
to enter the directors room In the rear
of the building.
Mrs. J. Il. Wheasler, 2S16 East Tenth
street, who was in the bank, started to
leave when she saw the hold-up taking
place, but one Of the robbers seized her

up the payment Of tbs bill for mu-
nicipal concerts.
When asked about this today, Mr..
Barry said:
ut would be unfortunate If the
school board were forced to deny the
use of the school Fairgrounds to the
park board next summer and this
probably will be done If the bill for
broken windows is not paid. This Is
entirely a separate matter from the
municipal concert bill and should be
judged without reference to it. The
park department should know that
in our refusal to pay the bill for
the concerts that there is nothing Of
a personal nature involved, or any
reflection on the park board or rs
members" -

Use of City Fairgrounds May Be Denied
Unless Park Board Comes Across With
Cash for Bills Presented by School Body

Use of the Fairgrounds of the pub
lie schools may be refused the board
Of park commissioners during the
coming summer as a result of the
constroversy between the park board
and the board Of school commission
ers regarding the payment of a bill
Of $795.18 by the school board for
its share of the cost Of municipal
concerts during the past year, ac-
cording to Charles L. Barry, presi-
dent of the school board.
The school board last week or
dered payment Of the bill held up be-
cause about $395.25 of its was for
printing done by the Enquirer

school board, is president. The
board Of school commissioners, ac-
cording to the bill presented, owes
one-half of this printing bill.
Mr.. Barry, who long has been
foe Of Mr.. Crippin, held up payment
On the ground that Crippin's COM
rany could not legally be interested
in any contract with the school
board while Crippin was a member
of the board.
Meantime the school board has a
claim against the park board of $475
for windows broken while the park
board operated the Fairgrounds last
summer and the park board showed
no inclination to pay this amount as

SENATE GIVES FORT HALE
 PARK TO CONNECTICUT

The senate on Tuesday passed the bill transferring to the state of Con- necticut the military reservation at Fort Hale Park, which the war. department announced. year ago 1t planned to abandon for military purposes. If Presi- dent Harding signs the bill. asr expected. thus completing the transfer, the state park commission will turn over the res eryation to the city of New Haven. to be used as part of the park as at pres ent ssF
 them George Dudley Seymour became active in the matter when the war de- pertinent announced its plan, fearing that the reservation might be sold to private party and it's use lost to the city. It was pointed out at the time that the government had no appropriate memorial to Nathan Hale, Connecticut's, Revolu- tionary patriot, and suggested that the reservation be set aside for this pur- pose.
 Mir. Seymour communicated with Con- gressnan Tiison, who tried to have 8 bill passed by the house transferring title in the reservation to the city of New Haven. It soon became apparent that this would be futile. since the house did not want to establish such a prece-
 
 with MT. Seymour. Congressman Tilson amended the bill to have title transfer red to the state. This bill was passed by the house several months ago.
 Mir. Seymour wrote to Senators Bran degee and Mclean; of Connecticut and Senator wadsworth of New York. who is chairman of the senate committee on military affairs, urging them to work for passage of the bill. but nothing definite was done Mr. Seymour got in touch with ConKfessman Tilson when the lat ter returned from. Europe recently and the congressman apparently pushed the matter, for MT Seymour received a telegram from him saying that the sem ate had passed the bill.
 It Is expected that the president will sign the bill thus saving the plot to the community.
 No definite action has been taken yet in regard to the military reservation at Lighthouse Point, which the war de- partment also announced it would aban- don for military purposes.

SUPERIOR COURT HEARS
 SUIT OYER S. 1000 CLAIM

The case of the Hawthorne Sash & Door c.. of New London against Thonl- as c. West, former New London con- tractor. for payment of s2,ooo for ma terial on the contract for the Northwest Hose Co. house in Brainerd street, New London was tried before Judge Newell Jennings in the superior court there on Wednesday.
 In October, 1921, the plaintiff secured judgment against West for $2,1eT.27 which was the balance due on the con tract for material furnished on the Northwest Hose house. When execution was made upon the city for payment of the money, it was refused on the ground that there was only a balance of $Sss on the contract price of s21, 800 for the house and that money had be[n garnished by Walter A. Klltgart and Leroy Darrow for claims against West
 The plaintiff cL1ims that bills for extra work amounting to Approximately s3.o0o had been paid. out of the contract price for the building when they should have been paid out of the appropriation of s25,ooo which would leave sufficient balance on the contract price to pay the claim of the Hawthorne Co.

 Dr. Olin, using a quotation of his fathers, "Educated men are the natural sources and guides of popular opinion" :" traced the development of the elective system of studies in colleges and showed how "individualism ran riot until the members of the same college class were no more fitted to act together than were the builders of Babel after the confu- sion of tongues" He also stated that
