 Because of the sensational nature of the case and also because the scene of the trial is on the same floor of the building as that of Paul Kelly, who is being tried for the murder of Ray Raymond. musical comedy star barriers were erected to protect Superior Judge Carlos Hardy's court from possible rushes by the curious.
 kerrick was killed in an all night gin party in his home. Who fired the shot that killed him has been a hay matter because the five persons involved who admitted had been drinking freely, told varying stories. The state has announced that it will attempt to prove Mrs. Kerrick was responsible. A coroner's jury. after hearing the testimony of the quintet concluded that Kerrick was killed by persons unknown"
 Those held to appear with Ker- rick's widow are: Anita Davis. Jo- seph Hunt. Henry Isabell and Iris Burns. All were present in the Ker- rick home when Mrs. kerrick is al- legged by the prosecutors to have fired the shot that killed her hus- band.
 Police stated that it was two days before the five accused persons, all of whom are movie extras or play CTS of minor roles in the films, re- covered fully from the intoxication that resulted from the party. A gall Ion or moonshine, officers said, was consumed.

 Briefly. the foregoing is the situa- ton which for the next several days will occupying the attention or the United States fleet and the regular army troops stationed in New Eng land as they engage in a war game" on as gigantic a scale as has been undertaken since the World War.
 Fresh from two weeks visit to New York more than 100 vessels or the navy were headed for the ocean today where they will be dlFldea, cne section to become the enemy, or The black navy, while the other becomes the blue. The two fleets will then assume positions and the war" will be on.
 Rear Admiral Charles r. Hughes, commander-in chief of the nltea states fleet, will command the black navy. and his job will be to land inc black eypclitionary force at timo and place least anticipated by the blues.
 = Major General Preston Brown, commanding general of the Flrs' corps area at Boston, Is in conmahh of the land forces. and in order 10 ave New England he must find the feet. put up whatever on-shore flgh' he can with q "depleted' navy and keen his land force mobile eno1lgh 10 repulsc the black force when II tries to land.
 The prime motive for the man . ,,Ncrs is to test tactical and losi- cal war plans for the eompiheH tnnctioning Of land and sea d'- ,onsa forces. and in Washington he chief interest is centered upon inc practical working Of this CO., operative effort.
 Although the troops are already in their allotted positions and paf\ of the fleet at tho scene of the coming "battle,' the maneuNers will not actually get under way un- ,il midnight tonight.
 General Brown will have theo- re,ical army of 75,oo0 men. few of whom are in fit condition for bat ,1e because the war" has been on for months, and the army has been pretty badly shattered.
