 Mrs. Trer was In a highly nervous state this morning, it was said at the prison.

 The woman returned to her home this afternoon.

VO77ARI CASE TO
 BE CALLED IN JUNE Murder Trial Postponed
 by States Attorney

Giovanni Yottari, confessed mur- dered of Joseph D'Angelo at his home. 66 West street, last fall, will not be called upon to face a jury at the present term of the Superior court to answer a charge of first degree murder. it was decided today by States Attorney Hugh NJ. Al corn. The states attorney held a conference with Atty. Harry Gins berg, Vottari's counsel this morn ing regarding the case and 1t was decided 10 continue it until the June term of the court.
 Vottari was arrested about a month ago in Canada by Sergeant Patrick J, O'Mara, who went there on information received by Chief William c. Hart from an in- formant who sought the $3,000 re- ward offered by the state for Vot- tari's capture.
 The state alleges that Vottari. motivated by jealousy, shot D'An- gelo as he lay in bed at his West street home. and then went to the home of Mrs. Amelia Scorsoto at 157 Wilcox street, and seriously wounded her as she lay In bed with her husband. Mrs. Scorsoto is be- ing held at the Hartford county jail as a material witness in de- fault of S250 bail which sine has been unable to raise.
 States Attorney Alcorn was of the opinion that the strain under which the court officials labored during the two weeks of the Chap man trial made 1t inadNsable 10 undertake the prosecution of an- other murder case at this time. Alcorn will take rest until the June term of the court, dealing only with pressing matters such as any developments that may arise in the Chapman case.

Fire Board &ake-up likely
 May Ask Resignation M Cans

Commissioner George Cans is slated for discharge from the board of fire commissioners unless there is decided change in the manner of conducting that commissions business, it was indicated today in Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa's discussion of city affairs.
 Cans is understood to have been affiliated with several anti-admini- stration movements in recent months and the plan to oust him from the commission will meet the approval of at least part of the remaining membership of the board, 1t is said. Mayor Paonessa does not intend to request the commissioners resigna- ton at this time. The executive plans to keep in close touch with the boards activities and unless more harmonious actions mark the future deliberations of his commis- sioners Cans will be asked to give way to another.
 The fire boards wrangling over appointments, particularly in the re- cent appointment of captain to succeed the late William Watts, and the discussion this week relative to new car for the fire chief, have brought to head again the alleged unsatisfactory workings of the board. The work of Chairman John F. R. Keevers during his three years at the head of the depart ment has been most pleasing to the mayor. and Commissioner John Mi kalauskas Is said to have met the mayors approval in the short period that he has spent in the commission, Commissioner Walter Blair was said to have been on unfriendly terms with administration move ments several months ago and in some circles it was charged that he occupied the position in which the mayor now places Gans-that of an unintentional deterrent to the smooth operation of the commission and the department
 Cans, being a democrat and an appointee of the present mayor. his failure to meet the administrations approval Is not based on political disputes, 1t is reasoned.
 At this weeks meeting Of the fire board, Cans was interested in the purchase of Packard car while other members of the commission were inclined to a Cadillac. Cans held out for the Packard and intro duced an argument that any money received from the present chiefs car must go into the pension fund by terms of the charter. Mayor Pa onessa Is understood to be among the many who feel Cars argument in this connection Is erroneous since the charter provides that money re- ceived from the "sale" of apparatus must go into the fund. while the deal now in progresss Is a replace ment with an allowance for the present car. Cans argued that any allowance accepted could not be figured against the cost of the new car
 Mayor Paoressa today expressed himself as thoroughly displeased with the way business is now being conducted in the fire board and seemed inclined to place the blame directly up to Cans.
