REFUSES TO GRANT
 TRIAL CONTINUANCE
Additional Charges Made Against
 Alleged Slayer

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept, 19.- Judge Wade in circuit court today refused to grant a continuance for 60 days in the trial of Emory Con nell and Joe Sullivan, charged with murder in connection with the zill- ing of l.. C. Hay, city detective, last July, sought by counsel for Con noll to assemble evidence to combat Gelaration by Ralph Mercy. chief of police at Sapulpa, that Council also was the slayer of John Lung, sa pulpa policeman.
 Mercy identified Cornell as the man who shot Lung. Attorneys for Connell said they could prove that Connell was in Chicago at the time the Oklahoma officer was killed and that Mercy has identified two other men as the slayer of Lung,
 Judge Wade ruled that as Cornell was not on trial for the Oklahoma killing the continuance was not war ranted.
 Argument over the admission of 8 statement made by Hay after he was mortally wounded occupied much of the morning session of court. The court held, however that part of Hays statement which declared that the little fellow (Connel) did all the shooting was dmissable.
 Hay was shot and fatally wounded while he was attempting to arrest Connell and Sullivan.

Jack Thomas, state policeman, directing the search, stated he had the license number of the car in which the rec ords were believed to have been spirited away, and that submission of the missing klan files would be only a matter of tracing the car after it's departure from the capitol city. The records are believed to be hidden in Arkansas.

 The Berlin authorities, faced long winter and a grave coal shortage, an nounee they will combine all autumn and spring holidays into one general holiday at Christmas.
