DARROWPRO7ESTy OPENING COURT
 W7H PRAYERS, SAYING THEY ARE
 BEING USED TO INFLUENCE JURY
NO RULING GIVEN ON
 COMPENSATION CASE
Judge Brown Does Not Wish to Set Precedent
 in His Court

Judge Brown of the superior court has declined to make ruling on the appeal of the Stiles X Reynolds Brick Co.,, from the action of the compensation commissioner in awarding compensation to the estate of Domonick Coryi, killed several months ago while walking the rail- road tracks to his employment in the briCkyard.
 The judge has declared that d deh- nite rule applicable to future cases should be determined and therefore on his own motion the matter will go to the supreme court of errors for adjudication.
 Corvi and other employees had for many years crossed the railroad tracks near South street and it was while he was following his usual custom that he met his death. Through Attorney S. Gerard Casalc, his widow, Erminc Corvi, on behalf of herself and her two minor Chil- dren sought compensation, declaring that the railroad company had in vited use of the tracks hy not order ing the practice discontinued. AL torney CasaIes contention was up held and compensation granted. The respondent at once filed notice of ap- peal to superior court. When the case reached Judge Brown he made the following announcements:
 "The court is of the opinion that the decision of this matter involves principles of law which are not free from reasonable doubt and which public interest requires shall be de- termined by the supreme court of errors in order that a definite rule be established applicable to future cases.
 "The court, therefore, upon its own motion reserves the case for the opinion of the supreme court of CT TOTS next 10 be holden at Hartford, for the first judicial district on tho i first Tuesday of October, 1925"

VIOLATED LAW BY
 MAKING SUNDAY SALES
Plainville Court Finds Storekeepers Guilty
 Appeal Taken
Especial to the Herald)

Plainville, July 14--Eincenzo Min. clio and Mrs. Jennie D'Antonio, To. cal provision storekeepers, were con Victed In the town court here today, of violating the Sunday selling law, and each was fined s7 and costs by Justice l.. $. Mills. Both appealed bonds being set at $lO0 apiece, They had been arrested after failing to comply with a warning from other local merchants that they must cease selling provisions on Sunday. Leon Nincoski and Stanley ThirSk, inyes- tgators In the employ of Hartford detective agency, testified that on Sunday, June 2S, they had purchas- ed provisions In both stores and in- troduced their purchases as evi- dcnce.
 A plea that the law was more than 200 years old an dthat 1t should be interpreted liherally was made by Attorney S. Gerard Casale, counsel for the defense. Attorney Charles r. Conlon of PlainVille, who prose- cuted. showed that inc old law had been continually revised, the last time in 1923. and was still on the statute books. He pointed out that both had been warned. in spite of which they had "violatcd not only the law of the state of Connecticut but the law of the Bible"
 Attorney Casale showed that Mrs pAntonio was not the owner of the store. but the prosecutor argued that the term "keper" in the statute ap- piled equally to proprietor and agent or employe. The defense said that no evidence had been present cd to show that the sale was not made through necessity and there fore legal, but Justice Mills ruled the burden of this proof rested with the defense. He then imposed sen tence and an appeal was taken.
