(Continued from First Page)

the witness said. Later Sergeant 'O'Mara called on the witness rela-
 tive to car he had bought from them and the witness directed him
 to Peter Fisk of 199 Grove street.
 Meriden. who had bought the car. Sergeant Feeney testified to re-
 covering the cars. In Meriden a
 mental process was used on the cars and the original motor num-
 Ders disclosed. Fictitious numbers
 were stamped on the motors, the sergeant said. A motor with num-
 bers defaced was recovered also.
 At the mems home several reg,s-
 trations were found and on some
 of them were fictitious addresses.
 The sergeant testified that Gar
 gano and Giardiono told the police
 they bought cars from men with
 whom they were not acquainted.
 A coat found in the Broad street
 garage rented by the men was iden-
 tified by Mrs. Clark of Plainville She
 said it was in her car when it was
 stolen on Lake street.
 In reply to Attorney Casale Ser geant Feeney admitted that no in struments were found in possession of the men but there was a consid- erable amount of burned carbide on the floor of the garage. Giardiano told the sergeant he made a prac- tice of purchasing automobile and selling them to suckers"
 Sergeant OMara testified to his part in the case. The alleged thieves told him they have been in this city only few months. They were formerly in Syracuse, N. 1..
 Wheeling w. Va. and Shamokin, Pa.
 Lincoln May, mechanic in the
 municipal garage, testified that mo- tor numbers on the cars had been changed but he did not know who
 changed them.
 William E. keegan Of the East
 ern Underwriters Conference testi- | fled to his part in the investigation. Prosecuting Attorney Woods said I the law provides maximum sen- tence of 40 years in prison if all counts were proven.
 The Hartford police have two counts of automobile theft which will be pressed. it was said today. When Judge Saxe fixed the $7,500 bonds he told Attorney Casale to
 consult him if conditions change to such an extent that he can raise a substantial amount. Attorney Casale said the men have been in jail in default of s1,000 bonds and if they were members of a ring it would seem that someone would have helped them obtain their release. He maintained that the evidence of fered by the state was circumstan- tial and the accused men might well be held only as material witnesses against others.

Legion Takes Paris
 Bv a Storm of Joy

Paris, Aug. 20 P--American Le- zion pilgrims, scattered today along the old battlefront in France. were having considerable difficulty in finding landmarks to refresh their own memories or to point out to wives and children. Crops wave over what once were trenches which consisted of few piles of scorched bricks now are neat, prosperous towns and villages.
 Even wars ravages in woods and forests have been almost completely plotted out by brilliant nature.
 The Americans, however, find their former hosts and hostesses un- changed. In cottage and chateau everywhere they are meeting the proverbial hospitality of the French country folk, and if they eat and drink all that is being pressed upon them, the medical section of the American Legion convention will have its hands full before the visi- tors leave for home.

Chicago, Aug. 20 P}-Three spe- cialists have been called into con- sultation by Estelle Taylor. wife of Jack Dempsey, after a somewhat serious turn in her condition, 1t was learned today. The excitement attending the trip from the coast and the enthusiastic reception here was reported to have led the screen actress to fear a relapse.
 Dempsey yesterday cancelled all his engagements so he could be with his wife until she is resting easier. and although her condition is not regarded as alarming he is devoting all his time to making her more comfortable.
 Dempsey said he thought that if everything moved along as it is now she would be all right in a few weeks. His friends, however. ex- pressed fears that he would worry too greatly and this perhaps would affect his chances to be at Gene Tunney when they meet next month.

STATES ENGINEER ANSWERS QU|GLEY
(Continued From First Page)
Connecticut river.

Connecticut river.
 However, the object of this letter is to correct certain questions of fact. Mir. Quigley explains that as long as factories continue to discharge their acid wastes into the sewers no method depending on bacterial puri- fication can be successfully employ ed. Generally speaking, this asser- tion is correct. Undoubtedly 1t was Ithe metallurgical waste liquors which cause the sand filtration beds ito become imperative.
 "The experimental work of inves- tigation carried out by the indus trial wastes board appears to war rant this conclusion.
 "Mr. Quigley however. overlooked the fact that during the past several years, the great bulk of industrial waste arising from the factories of New Britain have been removed from the sewers, as result the sewage as it now reaches the dis posal area is no longer acid in re- action. There is no reason at this time why any of the standard methods of treatment cannot be used with entire success.
 MT. Quigley is reported as hay ing said that he is not opposed to the treating of New Britain's sew age before it is discharged into the ; state waters but that he is opposed to wasting the city's money in the construction of a disposal plant which will be unable to accomplish the result sought. It seems quite probable therefore. that if his atten- tion Is invited to the changed con- ditions over those of ten years ago, he will not only not oppose the dis charge by New Britain of its duty to the rest of the state but will ac- lively support program which is endorsed by all those having the best interests of the community at heart.
 Tt seems possible In Mir. Quigley's campaign against sewage treatment carrying the project to completion. The state water commissioners recommendation made over year ago was to the effect that an en- gineering survey should be under taken by the city, for the purpose of securing necessary data as to volume of sewage to be treated, the determining of the type of plant to best meet the city's needs and the cost of installation. Due to your interest in the problem, sum of money was made available to carry ou this survey.
 Most of the work has been com pleted and the essential data now in hand. It would appear that if the city will now call into consultation an engineering specialist in such matters all the necessary prelimin- ary work could be finished in the near future, including an accurate cost estimate. Such procedure would effectually dispose of such arguments as are advanced by crit ics and would likewise settle the question of cost of the undertaking.
 This matter has been gone into at some length and for the express purpose of inviting your attention to what appears to be the advisability of pressing to as speedy a conclu- sion as possible, the survey begun last summer.
 Every truly, yours.
