World Can Use 35O,OO0,OOO Radio Sets
When Constant Reception Is Extended
BY the Associated pres,.

By the Associated PresA.
A world market exists for 10 times
as many radio receiving sets as have
been sold and there is potential
world market for 90 times as many
sets once radio broadcasting facili.
ties are extended to bring all civilized
portions Of the globe within the zone
of constant reception, the Department
of Commerce estimates.
1t is estimated that $4,000 900 radio
receiving sets now are in use. They
provide reception facilities for about
80, 900, 900 people, but this number rep
resents only per cent of the popu.
lation of existing zones of constant
reception. If the zones were extended
to include the whole world in the en-
joyment of radio programs, 350, 1000 900
sets would be required. Consequently
that industrial bogey, the 'saturation
point" or the time when every home
will have a radio set. Is believed to
be many decades in the future.
Rumania, Bulgaria and China must
be ruled out of this calculation. for
in them prohibition extends to radio.
On the other hand, there Is sur
plus of stations in the United States,
Canada and Spain. where congestion
has been experienced Broadcasting
Service of some sort is general
throughout most of the world with
the possible exception Of the Arctic
regions, the desert section of Africa
and in Central and Northern Asia.
Nearly so foreign countries depend
upon one Or several of the 420 sta
tions outside the United States. Nine
teen have only one station and IL of
these do not reach beyond national
borders.
In many countries radio broadcast
ing is strictly a commercial PROPOSE
ton. Corporations are given conces-
sions by the Government ard owners
Of receiving sets pay for service, either
direct to the stations or through the
government. The rates vary from one
rranc in France to $50 in Salvador for
the first years subscriptions. Invari-
| ably the government collects share
of the proceeds.

wound and yet the witnesses that
say they saw Edel on the trolley did
not notice anything unusual about
| his dress"
II it were Edel that committed
this crime. how could he entice John
ny up that dark road. kill him. drag
the body to where 1t was found and
still get back in time for the next
car?
Where, too. is the gun with which
Edel killed Mastriano. II he did. kill
him? A bullet was found in Johnny
but no gun ever was found and this
despite the fact that entrance to
EdePs room at the hotel was easy
and il he had hidden the gun, surely
it would have been found.
THE only motive for this murder
as given by the state is robbery and
rem. lber that this date between
Edel and Johnny was made before
Johnny had won at the card game
so how could Fdel possibly have
made the date with that motive in
mind.
"Edel was counter man you heard
witnesses testify. Couldn't he have
drawn a little ahead. forgotten to
put the slips in the box and the
money in the cash drawer. Isn't it
possible that he could have come in
to the possession Of the $40 or $50
he had in that manner
TRENCH then went on to ask how
the state could expect any one to be-
live that Edel was clever and plan
ming one n,inute and SO foolish the
next minute as to let every one in
their circle of acquaintance know
that he and Johnny were going out
together.
Didn't he call Johnny as he stood
there with his father and tell him
to hurry up or we'll be late" and
didn't he know that If anything hap
pened to johnny. he would be the
first person that would be held, pos
sibly charged with the crime?" Tren-
chi asked. He repeated that the state
failed to bring Edel any nearer than
five miles to the crime.
Special State Attorney Healey. re-
plying to Trenchi's statements, said
that he knew there were many gaps
in the states lid ..ce but that the
state was proceeding along the line
of circum~ lncas rather than fact and
that he considered the chain of cir
cumstances strong enough to go to
the jury for a second degree or even
a first degree verdict.

defense then rested its case at 10:0s
a. m.
After the jury had been dismissed
TRENCH proceeded to address the
court for the second time on a mo-
ton for discharge.
Defense Arguments
He sketched the case Of the state
against Edel and said that accord
ing to the state, Edel planned to
slay Johnny for the purpose OF rob-
berry and for that reason took him
to Dudley's inn. then up a lonely
road, where he shot him and then
after dragging or carrying the body
for several hundred feet, left 1t In
clump OF bushes. The crime, he said,
was one which was shocking In Its
gruesomeness and that it was re-
voting if committed by stranger
whereas the jury would be asked to
believe that Edel. a friend Of Mas
triano, had committed the cold
blooded murder for a few paltry
dollars.
THE mind refuses to believe this
incredible story" Trench declared,
and so with the state rests the re-
sponsibility of turning the mind"
He then pointed out what he
thought were the missing links In
the chain which the state had en-
deavored to forge about Edel.
There are two or three things
missing from this case which could
have easily been supplied had the
state been SO Inclined ne said, and
cited among other things the tact
that Medical Examiner Joslin or
Hamden had declared that simply
from the measurements ae could tell
that it was Mastrianos tody that
had lain in the gully.
There were foot prints there" he
said, land if the entire measure
ments Of the body were outlined
why did not the state take the
of those footprints
which would have been Just as easy,
and then compare them with
Edel's?"
The shirt that was covered with
blood and rammed down the throat
Of the murdered man, he mentioned,
asking why was not attempt made
to get fingerprints from that shirt?
That too, would have been easy. An
other thing presents itself here. All
the witnesses asked thus far have
testified that there were no signs of
the body having been dragged to the
SPOT where it was found, SO If 1t was
not dragged it must have been car
ried and the man that carried 1t
must have been covered With blood
isasmuch as DR.. Joslin testified here
that the blood pressure would cause
it to shoot out, rush forth from the

Johnny. Il wish I knew" he quoted
Edel as saying. He was not cross
examined. Sergeant Walter Kurcon
CT til, Meriden police department
was the last state witness called to
the stand. His testimony was with
regard to the conversation between
Sergeant Michael Carroll also of the
Meriden police department and Fred
Edel on Thursday. December % at
police headquarters.
Had Date With Girls
Edel, according to kurcon, told
Sergeant Carroll that he and Johnny
had a date with two girls to take
them to an inn in Middletown and
that as the girls were coming from
New Britain, they went to Milldale
to meet them. The girls were not on
the car, according to Edel, and SO
he and Johnny returned to Meriden
where he left Johnny at cigar store
talking with stranger.
Edel welt to the lunch room and
never saw Johnny alive again.
Following his testimony, the state
rested it's case at 1880 a. m. The
jury then retired and Peter French,
counsel for Edel launched a mo-
ton for discharge under Chapter
2i6 Of the public acts Of 1921, sec
ton /, which directs that the court
may instruct the jury to return a
verdict of not guilty where a rea-
sonable doubt exists. States Atty.
Benjamin Winner was Immediately
on his 1eet with an objection. The
motion, he said. was out Of order
inasmuch as q defense exhibit had
already been introduced and there
fore the defense could not ask for
discharge with their case already
started. TRENCH quoted procedure
in the lower courts and then went
on with his reasons.
The judge declared brief recess
10 consider the motion and upon
his return signified that the de-
Tense must either proceed or rest
bis case before such motion would
be in order. Trenchi then called l..
Porter Of West Haven, employed at
Dudleys Inn. to the stand. He
testified that he was working on the
night OF December 10 and was liv-
ing in Meriden at that time and
that he had taken the 1910 trolley
and reached Cheshire at 1890 and
proceeded from there to Milldale to
Meriden. He was then released
fl ON the stall but was recalled by
the court who asked several ques-
lions regarding the number of pas
sengers on the car and what seat he
Occupied. His memory was not very
clear on any of the questions
Edel Not On Car
Asked by TRENCH whether or not
Edel was on the car on which he
rode home, Porter answered that he
was not.
The second state witness present
ed by the defense was Frederick E.
Hudson, assistant cashier of the
Second National bank of this city.
Trenchi told the court that he had
asked Hudson to make certain re-
garding the number of twenty dol
lars gold backs" liable to be found
with twenty dollar bills and then
asked the witness if he had made
such test. Hudson replied that he
had made the test this morning and
that he had found eight or nine,
