exceptions to 1t were taken at the
trial"
Turning to the statement OF Prof.
James +. Richardson of Dartmouth
College as to a purported converse.
ton with Judge Thayer at Hanover
n. H.. In November. 1924. after Judge
Thayer had denied motions for a new
trial. the attorney generals brief said:
Called Breach Of Good Taste.
I'm this conversation Judge Thayer
is said to have applied vile names to
the defendants and to have suggested
that the defendants could go to the
Supreme Court and see what relief
they would get there. Subsequent
events have shown that the defend
ant got no relief in the Supreme
Court.
Even II one word OF this state.
ment OF Lawyer Richardson Is to be
believed. we feel 1t our duty to point
out that the constitution Of Massa-
chusetts does not guarantee that
every judge will Mt every time and
place within and without the court
room refrain from the use OF profani-
" and vile language.
"If believed, this statement indi-
Gates nothing more than that Judge
Thayer was guilty OF breach of good
taste and would by no means either
require or warrant a finding by Mr..
Justice Sanderson that in dealing
with the defendants and their mo-
tons the Judge had been actuated
by any improper motive. A judge
who has sat on a critical case. is en-
titled, IL not indeed required. to have
formed definite opinion as to the
guilt or innocence OF the accused. and
expressions by him of that opinion.
after the trial and outside the court
room. are not evidence Of prejudice
sufficient to warrant reversal in an
appellate court"
OF the affidavits as whole the
brief said:
I'VE submit that Mr.. Justice San
derson could in his discretion refuse
to believe any and all Of them. Even
IL he believed them he was not bound
as a matter of law to rule that they
constituted sufficient ground to re.
quire him to permit the issuance OF a
writ of error. ina smuch as they can
fairly be said to show nothing more
than tactless conversations held out
side the courtroom"

Attorney General Reads Brief.

Inc attorney general, 1oaulnS III nls
brief, today asserted that the ISSUANCE
of a writ of error in a capital case was
within the sound discretion Of a single
justice of the Supreme Court. that
Justice Sanderson properly denied tc
issue it and that Judge Thayer had
shown mo prejuGicial bias which IN
any way affected the fairness of the
trial"
After quoting the statutes and pre-
vious court decisions, he said:
1T is submitted, therefore. mas
much as the allowance of this writ
rested within the sound discretion of
the single justice to whom the peti-
ton for the writ was presented. that
no exception lies In his refusal to al
low the writ unless it be alleged that
the refusal amounted to an abuse OF
judicial discretion. 1t can hardly be
contended seriously that the single
Justice is guilty Of en- abuse of dis
cretion in this instance"

fact which made the proceedings be-

On the matter of the petition for n
writ of error the brief said:
ITO compel the petitioners to pro-
coed with their motions before Judge
Thayer was both an error of law and
a violation of sound discretion.
There is n constitutional right to have
Judge Thayer's decision, both as to
his right to sit and as to whether he

Earphones may have high resist ance and yet be of poor quality. High resistance can be developed either through use of more resistive wire or through greater number of turns of coil wire around the poles of the mag net. It requires more workmanship to provide resistance by the latter plan and it is the basis of finer results.

BURGLAR GETS S250

housekeeper, Mrs. Stella A. Aker- man was in the kitchen about o'clock and found nothing disturbed md no indication of the burglary. It is believed the burglar wore a mask.
 AS soon as he could do so In safety, MT. Caldwell went down. stairs and pieced together the tele- phone wires so that he could notify the police. This required some lit He time and there was no trace Of the burglar when the officers arriv- d. Meanwhile, Mir. Caldwell called Harry S. Bamforth, who lives near ly. and they looked about the prem ses for clues. without success. Marks or the outside of the house indicated that an attempt had been made to enter through another part put the burglar apparently chose inc rear window as the most vulner- able spot.
 Mir. Caldwell Is one of the we'll known residents of the city, having been in the contracting business for a number of years. During the ad- .ninistration of Mayor o. F. Curtis, iIe was a public works commission cl and superintendent of streets. Of i1te he has been engaged in grad ing work in various parts of the city.
 The bold burglary recalled a sim liar job at the home of Philip B. Stanley vice president Of the Stan- ley Works, on Shuttle Meadow ave- nue, several weeks ago. The cases resemble each other closely, both having occurred at about the same hour Of morning, and in both, the telephone wires were cut and the burglar. after arousing the victims by throwing the rays of the fash light into their faces, warned them quietly 10 make no outcry. The po- iCe are inclined to the theory that the same burglar operated in both instances.

ESCAPE FROM COP.

Officer John Liebler gave chase 70 two young men who were thought to have been contemplating mischief, about 12:45 o'clock last night, but did not overtake them. He was on Hartford avenue near Winter street when he saw the pair walking from Elm street. They turned back at sight of him and turned south on Elm street. He cut through the back yards and came out near the North & Judd factory, but they saw him again and ran away. The young men appeared to be about 5 feet inches in height, and neither had on coat or hat.
