Case of Alleged Slayers of Policeman Ready
 for Jury

Nillimantie, Sept 26 R-The de. fense in the cases of Roland G. La. lone and Albert J. Raymond. charg- ed with murder of State Trooper Irving H. Nelson. of New Haven, reached its summation this after noon and court ordered d recess for luncheon and upon resuming the jury will be charged.
 In summation by Samuel B Harvey, who has assisted States At. torney Bradford in the prosecution attention was called to the actual staying of the officer. He declared il was an ''audacious act' when an officer cannot approach a car with out being shot.
 He said that the state held tha, Nelson was wilfully and deliberately killed. The state did not try tc prove which of the two youths killed tho officer but 1t did seek to show that both had q hand in it for in the body of the officer were one .3S cal ibre and two .S2 calibre bullets. "The state Is not concerned with which one killed him but it does maintain that both had a part in it," said Mir Harvey. He said the defense had expressed surprise that more of the state witnesses could not positively identify Lalone and Raymond But" said he," the one who could have identified them was Spinney the Worcester taxi driver. who did not dare to because he was afraid of the gang which these men ad. mitted they belonged to. It is re- markable that the state was able te get as many witnesses down here a, it did to identify these youths. La. lone and Raymond are type oi youth who read stories of hold-ups think they are great men when they are nothing but fools. No experienc ed man would have done such fool ish things as these creatures dtd iy Webster and Pomfret that night" Mir. Harvey said that as to the al legged manhahdling of the youths q Springfield. this had nothing to d, with the murder. He said also tha the story told by the youths as tt their movements had been built up by one of counsel for the defense Harvey waved his hand towards one Of them. He also claimed the alib had been put together for the mer and some of the things claimed foI April 4, in fact occurred on April 5th Harvey said: We had these men at home for supper on the fourth and they claimed to have gone into a lunch cart at Webster at s o'clock" He asked: Was Il rot more likely that this was on the night of the sixth when they went into the lunch cart. for We have nc reference to their having had sup per that night. They have convicted themselves out of their own mouths and in conversations overheard by Officer Pettingill at the Brooklyn jail"
 In closing Harvey said the defense counsel had referred to the youths as 'Samese Twins. always together. and he said the state claims just that they were together in commis- sion of this crime.
 It was expected the jury would have the case in the late afternoon
 The jury retired at 2:40 p. m.

Miss Adams Writes of DesOlatiOn on Island
 in Caribbean

Not home on the Island of Ponce, Porto Rico, escaped the hur- ricane which devasted vast spaces of the West Indies and Florida. ac- cording to a letter received today by Rev. and Mrs. Elisha E. Adams from their daughter. Miss Victoria Adams. who Is in missionary service at Ponce.
 The letter from Miss Adams is as follows:
 "We must fall on our knees and give thanks to our Heavenly Father for His wonderful care over us. On the 18th aLI ilth of September this island suffered dreadful and horri- ble storms.
 T hope that I will never see an- other pitiful sight as this. Every where one turrs one will see de- stroyed huts big buildings. Every home on this island received an ef- feet Of the cyclone. We have bee,. going around to our different mission stations and most of the places we md hun. dieds arex ls homeless and ar' starving to eath. Most of tn. churches and public schools have been destroyed.
 'I wish I could be able 10 tell the story of the destroyed places my eyes have been seeing for the past and horrible.
 "As we live in cement house, therefore We were safe. Even this house was full Of water. We have not lost anything.
 Many. many lives have been lost. In one little town all the people took refuge in the Methodist church. During the terrible storm the church was destroyed and all the people were killed.
 We simply do not know which one to help, as the whole island has been destroyed. Our city churches are left in pretty good condition but our mission homes have been badly destroyed.
 T shall send you the pictures of the ruins which I have been visiting and if you wish to give few words or the pictures to the Herald you may do so.
 .'Do not worry. all is we'll with me, just busy helping our poor and writing reports to our papers.
 Your own daughter.

Captains Face Livid
"Girls were crying and didn't want
TO be separated from their husbands.
The captains face was livid. He
was upset, suppose, and maybe he
did not realize what he was doing.
Another officer stood beside him, a
man with more pep than the cap

not forget that the captain was his
superior. One officer tried to shoot
negro, who grabbed the gun and
threw it overheard.
"I waited to see what boat would
have the fewest, and jumped in the
water and swan for No. 13 boat.
There were only six in it, and they
were all negroes. l was the first

ried blackjacks, and after we had

want to take any more.
