Many Issues Carried Down Two
 to Seven Points

New York, Oct. 19 P)-Renewal Of selling pressure against today's
 stock market resulted in another wide selling movement which car ried prices down 2 to points, The reaction. which took place in the face of lowering of the call money
 rate from to 3 1-2 per cent, was
 not associated with any development , in the days news, but apparently represented a further correction of a weakened technical position.
 Prices opened fairly firm, but the rally was unimpressive. Bear trad
 CTS, taking advantage of the uneasi-
 ness which had developed as a re
 suit of the previous sharp decline,

 Mrs. Miller, who was the first woman ever tried on such a charge in New Haven county, pleaded "nolo contendere," claiming that the child darted in front of her car sud denly, and. that although she made every effort to avoid hitting him, she was unable to prevent the accident.
 States Attorney Samuel E. Hoyt said that a bad error of judgment caused the fatality, In his statement of the case to Judge Booth. He pointed out that Mrs. Miller was proceeding along the Milford turn pike near the Derby bridge at rate of speed not In excess of 25 miles per hour, when two boys started across the road In front of her ma chine.
 "One of the boys. perceiving the danger, stopped. but the other con- tinued to cross the highway MT. Hoyt said. Mrs. Miller apparently believed that both were going to stop and continued to drive her car instead of bringing It to halt. The case as far as the state is concerned, is somewhat debatable. and l will recommend a penalty of $500 and costs"
 Judge Booth. in passing sentence declared that it is the policy of this court to regard such cases with a high degree of seriousness. He add ed that it had been it's policy to i'm pose substantial jail sentences, but because of his confidence in the abil- ity of the states attorney to proper ly investigate all facts of the case, he would accept the recommenda- ton,

Attack Canadian Charge

Washington. Oct. 19 CP)-The talk ing of testimony was begun today in the criminal conspiracy trial of liar ry F. Sinclair and Albert B. Fall, with a promise by counsel for Sin clair that there would be no evil dence to show the wealthy oil oper- ator had any connection with the Continental Trading Co.,, Ltd, of Canada, through whom Fall is ac- cused of having recovered q large batch of Liberty Bonds after the leasing of the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve to Sinclair.
 Moreover, the two women and ten men hearing the case were told that Sinclair never had a bond that this company had and that he never passed a bond the company pos sessed, as the government contends in the indictment charging conspir- acy in the lease of the reserve.
 Tt will be made clear Sinclair never had anything to do with a bond of the description given by the government" declared Martin W. Littleton. of New York, and that he never passed a bond to Fall or any one in behalf of Fall"
 Littletown also disputed the gov ernment theory that the S25,O00 in Liberty Bonds Sinclair gave Fall after Fall retired as interior secre- tary after the lease of Teapot Dome was of the same kind that passed through the Continental Trading Co. and Of which $200.5O0 came Gnally into possession of NJ. T. Everhart, Falls son-in-law. and some of which went to Fall
 Describes Payment
 The attorney said the $25, 900 pay ment was made 10 Fall when he was employed by Sinclair to go to Eur ope in connection with oil conces- sions Sinclair was seeking in Russia: that there was nothing secret about that transaction, the bonds being sent to a bank at Fl Paso for Fall and that the whole transaction was entirely legitimate"
 Defense counsel likewise promised that the testimony would show that it was not until the latter part of the 1921 Christmas visit of Sinclair to Fall at Three Rivers, New Mexico, that Sinclair brought up the ques- tion of leasing Teapot Dome. Falls reply, as given by LittIeton was that geolOgist then were investigating drainage in the reserve and he would make no determination until that inquiry was completed.
 Procedure Kept Secret
 Littleton did not disclose by what witnesses all these matters would be presented and there was speculation as to whether Fall or Sinclair, or both, would take the stand.
 George w. Holland, attorney in geological survey, took the stand as the first witness after Littleton con- cluded and identified for the govern ment the executive order of Prcsi- dent Wilson creating naval oil re- serve number three on April 30, 1915, and produced all documents Of the interior department referring to the case.
 stephen G. Quigley, clerk at the state department; Dr. George Otis smith, chief of the geological sur vcy; Lee r. Martin, of the comptrol- Ter generals office then produced documentary evidence in connection with the case, including the Teapot Dome lease, which Fall insisted on examining.
