 His second theory was that if Eenaldino was murdered. it was by others than the convicted men. h support ot this he introduced two witnesses, Mrs John Die.z Of sos Maple street, formerly Miss Grace Mchenney. who lived near the scene Of the crime. and Joseph Nc Cormlck of Pennington. The testi- mony Of Mrs. Dietz was unfayora ble and Mir. Lewis asked the board to disregard her remarks. MT. Alcorn claimed that Mccormick was unre- liable and had been rejected at the trial.
 ln response 10 a question by Mir. Lewis the woman stated that she did not see anyone running from the scene Of the crime. Mccormick said that he saw six men and two cars there instead of three men and one car as claimed by the state The states contention is that Cianfone and Ruesiero were driven to the rendezvous by Cropanese and while the driver looked on. the other two murdered Renaldino.
 Enough Of the case has been made out here today" declared Mir. Lewis, TO show that there has been bril- liant miscarriage Of justice. the most brilliant in the annals of the state or Connecticut

He described the work Of Chief Hurley and Po- liceman Tomanio as one of the most skillful pieces of detective work ir, his experience. He declared that Cropanese's statement was the result ot burdened conscience and not the result of any third degree work by the officers.

Your Husbands Business.

Part of your husbands business sue
cess depends upon the men he meets
and forms friendships and acquaint-
anceships with. In forming these bene-
fetal relationships he must spend
money. If you begrudge the money
needed, it Is almost akin to slamning
the door that leads to the chamber of
opportunity.
Every time your husband takes GUS
toner to lunch or entertains buyer at
the golf club or has a couple to the
house for dinner, he is investing In his
future.
Each moment spent in personal con-
tact In an informal manner may mean
an additional outlet for your husbands
wares and new door swung open to
him. Wives unfamiliar with business
and its customs may be prone to look
upon this as simply indulgence.
"Why can't John conduct his business
with these men without spelling my
week end of golf or staying downtown
to dinner or buying innumerable
lunches?" The fact is that the business
man must adapt himself to conditions
and he can sometimes get man out to
lunch when he can't reach his desk
to breach a business proposition.
Extra pocket money for this sort Of
expense is simply part of mans "oper-
ating expense" He must be able to
meet socially men with whom he does
business. More than women may real
lie, mans business success is founded
on the personal impression he makes.
He must appear successful, in funds,
and not penurious or just getting
along" There is a saying to the effect
that nothing succeeds like success. This
is true, and man who appears to be a
success soon has others sharing In the
belief.
We do not recommend any lavish

When Preserving Pears.

This is a good way of preparing
thoroughly ripe pears for canning or
preserving: Place the pears in con-
yenient utensil, cover with boiling water,
then cover the Ntensil air-tight and let
stand for IS minutes, when the skins
will peel of as easily as the skin from
in halves and with a sharp; pointed
knife remove the core. The heat pene-
trates the meat of the pear sufficiently
to cause the hard part Of the core
to pull out easily and smoothly. AS fast
as prepared, drop the halves In cold
water to prevent turning dark, then
preserve or can in the usual way. This
method does away entirely with the
sticky, slippery work of peeling pears,
saves half the time usually required,
and the finished product Is more pleas
ing on account of the smooth, even ap-
pearance OF the preserved fruit.
